A bstract Probabilistic models have provided the underpinnings for state-of-the-art performance in many single-cell omics data analysis tasks, including dimensionality reduction, clustering, differential expression, annotation, removal of unwanted variation, and integration across modalities. Many being deployed are amenable to scalable stochastic inference techniques, accordingly they able process datasets realistic growing sizes. However, community-wide adoption probabilistic approaches is...

As part of the Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe (DEEP) survey, a sample 190 field galaxies (I814 ≤ 23.5) in "Groth Survey Strip" has been used to analyze magnitude-size relation over range 0.1 < z 1.1. The survey is statistically complete this magnitude limit. All have photometric structural parameters, including bulge fractions (B/T), from Hubble Space Telescope images, and spectroscopic redshifts Keck Telescope. analysis includes determination selection function plane as redshift,...

A model for magnetic braking via a stellar wind synchronously rotating binaries is presented. It found that the field lines of secondary form closed loops or connect to white dwarf primary, leading reduction flux in open responsible braking. We show particular that, parameters typical AM Herculis-type binary systems, drastically reduced comparison values are usually adopted based on theories single stars. The cut-off sharp, occurring at polar strength about |$7 \times 10^7\, {\rm G}$| an...

We present our first results on field X-ray sources detected in a deep, 184.7 ks observation with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I) Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The observations target Lynx (α = 08h48m, δ +44°54') of SPICES, Spectroscopic Photometric Infrared-Chosen Extragalactic Survey, which contains three known X-ray–emitting clusters at redshifts z 0.57, 1.26, and 1.27.

Removal of lignin from miscanthus liberates cellulose and hemicellulose for hydrolysis to obtain sugars that can subsequently be fermented ethanol or butanol. Extraction raw at 70°C is feasible when the extracting solvent contains a base (Ethylenediamine, EDA) mixed with an organic mildly hydrophobic ionic liquid. A 50–50 (by weight) mixture EDA ethylene glycol removes 75% weight ratio 10:1. At same miscanthus, 10–90 liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tosylate ([Emim][Ts]) 60% lignin. These...

The X-ray-bright Seyfert 1 galaxy III Zw 2 was observed with XMM–Newton in 2000 July. Its X-ray spectrum can be described by a power law of photon index Γ= 1.7 and an extremely broad (FWHM∼ 140 000 km s−1) Fe Kα line at 6.44 keV. iron has equivalent width ∼800 eV. To study the long-term behaviour source we have analysed 25 yr data, from 1975 to 2000. There is no evidence significant intrinsic absorption within or soft excess XMM archival data. We do not detect rapid variability (a few × 103...

The recent detection of a large polarization degree in the optical emission an isolated neutron star led to suggestion that this has been first evidence vacuum strong magnetic field, effect predicted by quantum electrodynamics but never observed before. This claim was challanged paper Capparelli, Maiani & Polosa (2017), according whom much higher would be necessary positively identify polarization. Here we show their conclusions are biased several inadequate assumptions and have no impact on...

Isolated Neutron Stars are some of the most exciting stellar objects known to astronomers: they have extreme magnetic fields, with values up $10^{15}$ G, and, exception stellar-mass black holes, dense stars, densities $\approx 10^{14}$ g cm$^{-3}$. As such, perfect laboratories test theories electromagnetism and nuclear physics under conditions field density unattainable on Earth. In particular, interaction radiation strong fields is cause {\em vacuum birefringence}, an effect predicted by...

The X-ray sources observed in nearby galaxies show brightness distributions (log(N(&gt;S))--log(S) curves) which can be described as single or broken power laws. Single power-law are often found for with vigorous ongoing star-formation activity, while laws elliptical and bulges of spiral galaxies. luminosity break caused by a population binaries contain neutron star accreting at the Eddington limit aging binary population. We that simple birth-death model reproduce log(N(&gt;S))--log(S)...
