The multiple nature of CC Com: One of the ultra-short orbital period late-type contact binary systems
Authors: Koçak Dolunay 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The study of very short-period contact binaries provides an important laboratory in which the most important and problematic astrophysical processes of stellar evolution take place. Short-period contact systems, such as CC Com, are particularly important for binary evolution. Close binary systems, especially those with multiple system members, have significant period variations, angular momentum loss mechanisms predominance, and pre-merger stellar evolution, making them valuable astrophysical laboratories. In this study, observations of CC Com, previously reported as a binary system, and new observations from the TÜBİTAK National Observatory (TUG) and the space-based telescope TESS have revealed that there is a third object with a period of about eight years and a fourth object with a period of about a century orbiting the binary system. From simultaneous analysis of all available light curves and radial velocities, the sensitive orbital and physical parameters of the system components are derived. The orbital parameters of the components are P

AbstractAphis gossypii is one of the most economically important agricultural pests that cause serious crop losses worldwide, and the indiscriminate chemical application causes resistance development in A. gossypii, a major obstacle to successful control. In this study, we selected the up-regulated expression gene AgJHAMT, which was enriched into juvenile hormone pathway though transcriptome sequencing analysis of the cotton aphids that fed on transgenic cotton lines expressing dsAgCYP6CY3 (the TG cotton). The AgJHAMT gene was overexpressed in cotton aphids which fed on the TG cotton, and its expression profile during the nymphs was clarified. Then, silencing AgJHAMT could advance the developmental period of cotton aphids by 0.5 days compared with control groups. The T and t values of cotton aphids in the dsJHAMT treatment group (6.88 ± 0.15, 1.65 ± 0.06) were significantly shorter than that of the sprayed H2O control group (7.6 ± 0.14, 1.97 ± 0.09) (P < 0.05), respectively. The fast growth caused by AgJHAMT silencing was rescued by applying the JH analogue, methoprene. Overall, these findings clarified the function of AgJHAMT in the developmental period of A. gossypii. This study contributes to further clarify the molecular mechanisms of delaying the growth and development of cotton aphids by the transgenic cotton lines expressing dsAgCYP6CY3.
The Easter Virtues
Authors: de Sales Francis 
Published: September 2024

On the Tuesday in Easter week, April 12th, 1594, St Francis de Sales preached a short but very beautiful homily on the theological virtues. He draws from the appearance of our Lord related in the Gospel of the day a charming description of the virtues of jaith, hope and charity, and shows how fittingly each one is connected with the risen Christ.Our authority for dating this sermon is the edition of 1643, which the recent Annecy Edition preserves. The 1643 edition was the first to give it as being preached on Easter Tuesday; it has no title in the edition of 1641. Certain analogies of style between the following sermon and those of the first period of the Saint's life justify this attribution.
A Medieval Dominican Maritime Missionary
Authors: Anson Peter F. 
Published: September 2024

Thanks’ to the preservation of an exceptionally detailed and graphic journal, kept by a certain German Dominican for the entertainment and edification of his brethren, it is possible to form a clear idea of what seafaring conditions were like on the Mediterranean towards the close of the fifteenth century. What is more, we learn that the spiritual welfare of both passengers and crews was not neglected, at least in ships carrying pilgrims to the Holy Land.Brother Felix Fabri was a member of the community of the Dominican Priory at Ulm. In 1480 he managed to obtain permission from the Master General of the Friars Preachers to make a pilgrimage to Palestine. Four years later he repeated this journey. His travel diaries are remarkable for their wealth of topographical detail, but even more for the subtle humour that creeps in on every page.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
We hypothesized that the incubation for urethral gonorrhoea would be longer for men with oropharyngeal gonorrhoea than those without oropharyngeal gonorrhoea. We conducted a chart review of men who have sex with men with urethral gonorrhoea symptoms at a sexual health clinic between 2019 and 2021. The incubation period was defined as the number of days between men’s last sexual contact and onset of symptoms. We used a Mann–Whitney U test to compare differences in the median incubation for urethral gonorrhoea between men with and men without oropharyngeal gonorrhoea. There were 338 men with urethral symptoms (median age = 32 years; IQR: 28–39), and of these, 307 (90.1%) were tested for oropharyngeal gonorrhoea, of whom 124 (40.4%, 95% CI: 34.9–46.1) men had oropharyngeal and urethral gonorrhoea. We analyzed incubation data available for 190 (61.9%) of the 307 men, with 38.9% (74/190) testing positive for oropharyngeal gonorrhoea. The incubation for urethral gonorrhoea did not differ between 74 men (39%) with oropharyngeal gonorrhoea (median = 4 days; IQR: 2–6) and 116 men (61%) without oropharyngeal gonorrhoea (median = 2.5 days; IQR: 1–5) (p = 0.092). Research is needed to investigate gonorrhoea transmission from the oropharynx to the urethra.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Resolving trauma may contribute to mental health and parenting in mother with histories of childhood maltreatment. The concept of trauma-specific reflective functioning (T-RF) was developed to assess the complexity of thought processes regarding trauma. The study aimed to validate the T-RF scale applied to the Trauma Meaning-Making Interview by examining its psychometric properties, associations with measures of trauma-processing strategies, maternal reflective functioning and mental health (depression and post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]), as well as evaluating whether T-RF offered a unique contribution to maternal insightfulness. Good construct validity of the T-RF scale was confirmed in a sample of 112 mothers with histories of childhood maltreatment using an independent coding system of trauma-processing. Better mentalization of trauma was prospectively associated with higher parental reflective functioning and mothers with high T-RF were much more likely to be insightful regarding the child’s mental states than non-reflective mothers and mothers with limited T-RF. The association between T-RF and insightfulness was observed even when controlling for maternal reflective functioning, trauma-processing strategies, maternal education and sociodemographic risk. T-RF was associated neither with depression, PTSD nor the characteristics of trauma. Findings suggest that mentalizing trauma would be an important protective factor in the intergenerational trajectories of trauma.
Emergent veno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenator support for refractory acute myocarditis in paediatric patients

Published: September 2024

AbstractAcute myocarditis leading to severe heart failure in paediatric patients is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition. The prompt implant of mechanical circulatory devices such as veno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation remains the best treatment option to restore an adequate perfusion and improve patient survival in case of refractory cardiogenic shock cases. While few reports describe the in-hospital course of this dramatic disease, with an in-hospital mortality under veno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation support around 30%, our study aims to analyse both short- and long-term outcomes after extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation implant.
Predicting Latin stories: an investigation of contextual clues
Authors: Mordue Matthew 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This article offers small-scale research findings on the impact of narrative contextual clues as a form of scaffolding in Year 9 Latin lessons. The students of this research learned Latin via the Cambridge Latin Course (CLC) (CSCP, 1998), which provides teachers and students with meaningful Latin in the form of interconnected stories (Hunt, 2016, 88). As Nuttall has argued, teaching students to read interconnected sentences and appreciate a text's meaning and overall message is what separates the act of reading from parsing vocabulary and grammatical structures (Nuttall, 1996, 2–3). Therefore, while the stories of the CLC can be read as isolated entities, the act of reading requires students to consider the overarching narratives of the stories. Furthermore, as students become confident in their Latin proficiency, it is possible to predict what is going to happen in a story just by thinking about what occurred in the previous line. For example, the first CLC story famously opens with the line Caecilius est in tablino (Caecilius is in the study). We can therefore predict that the story could take place in a Roman house and feature different rooms. Of course, this is exactly what happens in the story. This article focuses on the value of contextual clues in guiding students' predictions and promoting them to read rather than merely parse sentences. Ultimately, I argue that contextual clues, which can easily be overlooked as a form of scaffolding, serve as an invaluable aid for students when reading whole pages of Latin.
Effect of Dust Morphology on Aerosol Optics in the GEOS‐Chem Chemical Transport Model, on UV‐Vis Trace Gas Retrievals, and on Surface Area Available for Reactive Uptake

AbstractMany chemical transport models treat mineral dust as spherical. Solar backscatter retrievals of trace gases (e.g., OMI and TROPOMI) implicitly treat mineral dust as spherical. The impact of the morphology of mineral dust particles is studied to assess its implications for global chemical transport model (GEOS‐Chem) simulations and solar backscatter trace gas retrievals at ultraviolet and visible (UV‐Vis) wavelengths. We investigate how the morphology of mineral dust particles affects the simulated dust aerosol optical depth; surface area, reaction, and diffusion parameters for heterogeneous chemistry; phase function, and scattering weights for air mass factor (AMF) calculations used in solar backscatter retrievals. We use a mixture of various aspect ratios of spheroids to model the dust optical properties and a combination of shape and porosity to model the surface area, reaction, and diffusion parameters. We find that assuming spherical particles can introduce size‐dependent and wavelength‐dependent errors of up to 14% in simulated dust extinction efficiency with corresponding error in simulated dust optical depth typically within 5%. We find that use of spheroids rather than spheres increases forward scattered radiance and decreases backward scattering that in turn decrease the sensitivity of solar backscatter retrievals of NO2 to aerosols by factors of 2.0–2.5. We develop and apply a theoretical framework based on porosity and surface fractal dimension with corresponding increase in the reactive uptake coefficient driven by increased surface area and species reactivity. Differences are large enough to warrant consideration of dust non‐sphericity for chemical transport models and UV‐Vis trace gas retrievals.
Aurorally Driven Supersonic Gravity Waves in Saturn's Atmosphere
Authors: Iñurrigarro Peio , Medvedev Alexander S. , Müller‐Wodarg Ingo C. F. , Moore Luke 
Published: September 2024

AbstractSimulations with the Saturn Thermosphere‐Ionosphere General Circulation Model have revealed global‐scale gravity waves in Saturn's upper atmosphere that have not been observed or predicted before. They are forced by diurnally varying zonally non‐uniform distributions of Joule heating and ion drag at the high‐latitude auroral regions in both hemispheres and propagate outward from the source region. The supersonic zonal phase speed imposed by Saturn's rotation and the subsonic meridional phase velocity of about 800 m form a distinct spiral wave structure. They exhibit features of gravity waves: vertical phase progression opposite to the propagation of wave energy and long vertical wavelengths consistent with the dispersion relation for gravity waves. The amplitudes of the perturbations grow with height, reaching 6%–10% for relative temperature variations and up to 350 m for the meridional velocity perturbations. The main effect of these waves is to accelerate the retrograde westerly jets.

Published: September 2024

AbstractForests have seen a strong greening trend worldwide, and previous studies have attributed this mainly to land‐use conversions such as afforestation. However, for the greening of existing forests, the role of human interventions is unclear. Here we paired neighboring natural and planted forests in Southern China to minimize the differences between the forest types and analyzed the vegetation index EVI2 from Landsat over 1987 to 2021. The EVI2 trends observed in natural forests can be seen as mainly responses to large‐scale environmental changes, whereas the difference between the forest types represents the impact caused by human interventions. We found that though the mean EVI2 of planted forests was comparable to that of natural forests, the greening trends were overall 7.0% lower in planted forests. Our results suggest that human interventions associated with planted forests did not accelerate their greening, indicating the necessity for refined policies to enhance future forest greening.
Solar Flare Effects in the Martian Ionosphere and Magnetosphere: 3‐D Time‐Dependent MHD‐MGITM Simulation and Comparison With MAVEN and MGS

Published: September 2024

AbstractA comprehensive modeling study has been conducted to investigate space weather effects at Mars during the 10 September 2017 solar flare, utilizing an integrated framework that combines the global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model and Mars Global Ionosphere‐Thermosphere Model (MGITM). This is the first time the thermosphere‐ionosphere‐magnetosphere system is self‐consistently simulated under realistic, time‐varying conditions. Our simulations align well with observations from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN). Recognizing that complexities due to highly disturbed upstream conditions and rotating crustal fields obscure solar flare effects in orbit‐to‐orbit comparisons, we perform controlled simulations of nonflare and flare cases and exploit their contrast to quantify spatiotemporal variations in flare impact. Our results highlight pronounced and rapid dayside ionospheric perturbations, contrasting with weaker and delayed nightside responses. Notably, in the topside ionosphere, and C densities increase primarily on the dayside below 300 km altitude, peaking with an increase of 20%–30%. The density shows a more significant increase of up to 50%, extending into the magnetosphere and nightside via plasma transport, increasing its total loss rate by 14%. We observe distinct altitude‐dependent patterns in dayside electron density enhancements in percent, characterized by a weakening with altitude and a rapid decay below 150 km in line with the flare development, and a gradual intensification between 150–300 km due to plasma transport and flare‐induced atmospheric upwelling. Earlier Mars Global Surveyor observations were limited to the low‐altitude pattern due to atmospheric expansion and missed the higher altitude variations observed by MAVEN.
The Polarity Oscillations of the Equatorial Electrojet in Response to the Geomagnetic Storm on 1 December 2023
Authors: Zhang Kedeng , Wang Hui , Song Huimin 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe moderate geomagnetic storm on 1 December 2023 is interesting that the aurora is unexpectedly observed in Beijing. During this storm, the behaviors of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ) might deserve to be explored. When the polarization of the daytime electric field changes westward, the direction of EEJ turns westward as well, termed the counter electrojet (CEJ). Using the total electron content from Global Navigation Satellite System, observed EEJ from Tatuoca station and low‐orbit Swarm satellites, and the corresponding simulations from the Thermosphere‐Ionosphere Electrodynamic General Circulation Model, the polarization oscillations of EEJ responses (ΔEEJ) during the geomagnetic storm on 1 December 2023 are explored. A significant polarity oscillation is established in the Swarm‐observed ΔEEJ at 9.6 and 12.8 local time (LT). A similar oscillation is also found at 15 LT. The strong polarity oscillations of ΔEEJ are dominated by the electric field, with ignorable effects from the ionospheric Cowling conductivity. The correlation coefficient between ΔEEJ and electric field changes (ΔE) is larger than 0.87, confirming the roles of the electric field. In the pre‐noon sector, the quasi‐oscillations of ΔEEJ are controlled by both the neutral winds and the prompt penetration electric field (PPEF). At noon, ΔEEJ is primarily driven by the PPEF, with minor effects from neutral winds. At afternoon, ΔEEJ is attributed to the PPEF, and the effects of neutral winds are ignorable.

AbstractJupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) was mapped by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)/Mid‐Infrared Instrument (4.9–27.9 m) in July and August 2022. These observations took place alongside a suite of visual and infrared observations from; Hubble, JWST/NIRCam, Very Large Telescope/VISIR and amateur observers which provided both spatial and temporal context across the jovian disc. The stratospheric temperature structure retrieved using the NEMESIS software revealed a series of hot‐spots above the GRS. These could be the consequence of GRS‐induced wave activity. In the troposphere, the temperature structure was used to derive the thermal wind structure of the GRS vortex. These winds were only consistent with the independently determined wind field by JWST/NIRCam at 240 mbar if the altitude of the Hubble‐derived winds were located around 1,200 mbar, considerably deeper than previously assumed. No enhancement in ammonia was found within the GRS but a link between elevated aerosol and phosphine abundances was observed within this region. North‐south asymmetries were observed in the retrieved temperature, ammonia, phosphine and aerosol structure, consistent with the GRS tilting in the north‐south direction. Finally, a small storm was captured north‐west of the GRS that displayed a considerable excess in retrieved phosphine abundance, suggestive of vigorous convection. Despite this, no ammonia ice was detected in this region. The novelty of JWST required us to develop custom‐made software to resolve challenges in calibration of the data. This involved the derivation of the “FLT‐5” wavelength calibration solution that has subsequently been integrated into the standard calibration pipeline.
A Unified Formulation of Quasi‐Geostrophic and Shallow Water Equations via Projection
Authors: Thiry Louis , Li Long , Mémin Etienne , Roullet Guillaume 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis paper introduces a unified model for layered rotating shallow‐water (RSW) and quasi‐geostrophic (QG) equations, based on the intrinsic relationship between these two sets of equations. We propose a novel formulation of the QG equations as a projection of the RSW equations. This formulation uses the same prognostic variables as RSW, namely velocity and layer thickness, thereby restoring the proximity of these two sets of equations. It provides direct access to the ageostrophic velocities embedded within the geostrophic velocities resolved by the QG equations. This approach facilitates the study of differences between QG and RSW using a consistent numerical discretization. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this formulation through examples including vortex shear instability, double‐gyre circulation, and a simplified North Atlantic configuration.
