This has been measured on a high-resolution prism-grating spectrograph using a plane grating with 3600 lines per inch. Absorption has previously been between 1189 and . These data have been analyzed as the P and R branches of the (bending) fundamental vibration of . This analysis leads to a value of for the lowest-energy level of the excited vibrational state. The effective moments of inertia are presented in Table 1. They approximate those suggested from an analysis of the R branch The complete absorption band resembles in its main features the hydrogen sulfide absorption between 2220 and . Attentative analysis of this region as yields a value of about for the lowest energy level of this state and the moments of inertia listed in Table 1. This analysis was complicated by carbon dioxide absorption which masked the band center, and will be repeated when better data are available. Using the approximation for the reciprocals of inertia: with similar relations for and , and using , etc., as the values [FIGURE] associated with an equilibrium configuration, we have sufficient information to determine the equilibrium moments and the coefficients . We were aided in this by analyses of combination bands previously It is a pleasure to express my gratitude to Dr. H. H. Nielsen and his co-workers at The Ohio State University for the use of a high-resolution spectrograph
EXTERNAL PHOTOEVAPORATION OF THE SOLAR NEBULA: JUPITER's NOBLE GAS ENRICHMENTS
Full text linkabstract: We present a model explaining the elemental enrichments in Jupiter's atmosphere, particularly the noble gases Ar, Kr, and Xe. While He, Ne, and O are depleted, seven other elements show similar enrichments (~3 times solar, relative to H). Being volatile, Ar is difficult to fractionate from H[subscript 2]. We argue that external photoevaporation by far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation from nearby massive stars removed H[subscript 2], He, and Ne from the solar nebula, but Ar and other species were retained because photoevaporation occurred at large heliocentric distances where temperatures were cold enough (lesssim 30 K) to trap them in amorphous water ice. As the solar nebula lost H, it became relatively and uniformly enriched in other species. Our model improves on the similar model of Guillot & Hueso. We recognize that cold temperatures alone do not trap volatiles; continuous water vapor production is also necessary. We demonstrate that FUV fluxes that photoevaporated the disk generated sufficient water vapor in regions [< over ~]30 K to trap gas-phase species in amorphous water ice in solar proportions. We find more efficient chemical fractionation in the outer disk: whereas the model of Guillot & Hueso predicts a factor of three enrichment when only <2% of the disk mass remains, we find the same enrichments when 30% of the disk mass remains. Finally, we predict the presence of ~0.1 M [subscript ⊕] of water vapor in the outer solar nebula and protoplanetary disks in H II regions.Copyright IOP Publishing.

PRESSURE BROADENING AND SHIFTING OF HCl LINES BY NOBLE GASES
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Physics, Osmond Laboratory, The Pennsylvania State UniversityThe noble gas pressure-broadened rotation line widths and shifts have been calculated within the impact approximation. The intermolecular potential employed included the long- and short-range behavior of the isotropic part together with the anisotropic terms of symmetry arising from the separation of the dynamical and electrical centers in HCl. terms were found to have negligible effect. Bent trajectories, which realistically represent the HCl-noble gas collision, have been assumed, and velocity averaging was explicitly performed. The results are quite sensitive to the latter. The theoretical results compare well with experiment, in that the calculated widths and shifts of most of the lines, as broadened by each of the rare gases, fall within 20% of the corresponding experimental values
Author Response to “Pushing the Limits of Strength Training”
No full textPhotothermal catalytic dry reforming of methane with CO₂ has emerged as a promising yet nascent strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and enabling clean energy conversion. However, achieving optimal performance requires advances in both catalyst design and mechanistic understanding. Herein, we adopted a double-emulsion-guided micelle assembly strategy to synthesize asymmetric supports (AMONs and AMOMs), featuring unidirectional open/closed pore channels. This distinctive architecture enabled the formation of an asymmetric catalyst configuration through ethylene glycol-assisted selective confinement of Ni nanoparticles at the open-pore termini. Compared to conventional symmetric catalysts, the optimized 5% Ni AMONs EG and 5% Ni AMOMs EG exhibited higher specific surface areas and improved metal dispersion, resulting in an abundance of active sites. Moreover, the asymmetric design strengthened the built-in electric fields, directing more photogenerated hot carriers and localized thermal energy toward reactant activation. Consequently, 5% Ni AMOMs EG achieved a remarkable H₂ production rate of 2314.2 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ and sustained H₂ yields over 50 hours, outperforming symmetric counterparts and even some reported noble metal-based catalysts. This work offers a smart photothermal catalyst candidate and elucidates its structure–performance relationship, advancing photothermal catalytic technology for solar fuel production.Cheng Sang, Weiyi Xu, Kang Xue, Yajie Zou, Shuli Li, Shengjie Han, Haijun Chen, Hongqi Sun, Shaobin Wang, and Jinqiang Zhan
Complex systems modeling for supply and demand in health and social care
Full text linkThis paper introduces a major new cross-disciplinary research project that looks at the UK health and social care system, as part of an ambitious, broader initiative to apply methods from complexity science to a range of key global challenges. This particular project aims to develop new, integrated models for the supply and demand of both health and social care, in the context of the societal change brought about by migration, mobility and the ageing population. We discuss the background to the work, and the broad way in which we intend to leverage complexity science. This is made more specific with a brief discussion on existing demographic models, and some examples of model-building in progress. We conclude with a glimpse into the subtly difficult problems of fostering such innovative interdisciplinarity
Slab-derived halogens and noble gases illuminate closed system processes controlling volatile element transport into the mantle wedge
Full text linkHalogen and noble gas systematics are powerful tracers of volatile recycling in subduction zones. We present halogen and noble gas compositions of mantle peridotites containing H2O-rich fluid inclusions collected at volcanic fronts from two contrasting subduction zones (the Avacha volcano of Kamchatka arc and the Pinatubo volcano of Luzon arcs) and orogenic peridotites from a peridotite massif (the Horoman massif, Hokkaido, Japan) which represents an exhumed portion of the mantle wedge. The aims are to determine how volatiles are carried into the mantle wedge and how the subducted fluids modify halogen and noble gas compositions in the mantle. The halogen and noble gas signatures in the H2O-rich fluids are similar to those of marine sedimentary pore fluids and forearc and seafloor serpentinites. This suggests that marine pore fluids in deep-sea sediments are carried by serpentine and supplied to the mantle wedge, preserving their original halogen and noble gas compositions. We suggest that the sedimentary pore fluid-derived water is incorporated into serpentine through hydration in a closed system along faults at the outer rise of the oceanic, preserving Cl/H2O and 36Ar/H2O values of sedimentary pore fluids. Dehydration–hydration process within the oceanic lithospheric mantle maintains the closed system until the final stage of serpentine dehydration. The sedimentary pore fluid-like halogen and noble gas signatures in fluids released at the final stage of serpentine dehydration are preserved due to highly channelized flow, whereas the original Cl/H2O and 36Ar/H2O ratios are fractionated by the higher incompatibility of halogens and noble gases in hydrous minerals
Some Comments About the Noble Parliamentary Assemblies of the 18th Century
Full text linkAutor wiele lat badał sejmiki ziemskie. Zna liczne dokumenty sejmików i napisał na temat sejmików sporo prac. Aktualnie ukazały się dwa duże tomy dotyczące sejmików. Jeden to wydane drukiem dokumenty sejmikowe z XVIII w. Drugi to obszerna monografia sejmiku poznańskiego dotycząca lat 1764–1793. W związku
z tym autor przekazuje swoje przemyślenia na temat sejmików XVIII w. Stwierdza, że generalnie przeważają prace o sejmikach dotyczące XVII stulecia i ewentualnie
początków wieku XVIII. Był to bowiem okres największego znaczenia zgromadzeń ziemskich (sejmików). Okresowi lat 1764–1793 poświęcono mniej uwagi. Tym cenniejsze są przeto dwa wydane ostatnio tomy. Celem artykułu jest konfrontacja dawnych ustaleń autora z treścią obecnie wydanych dwóch tomów dotyczących sejmików XVIII w. W szczególności odnosi się to do monografii sejmiku poznańskiego z lat 1764–1793. Autor podkreślił, że do 1764 r. niewiele było aktów prawnych regulujących ustrój (organizację i funkcjonowanie) sejmików. Zmieniło się to w okresie licznych reform w latach 1764–1793. Autor podkreśla, że liberalizm i demokracja
szlacheckiej Rzeczypospolitej realizowały się w znacznym stopniu poprzez zgromadzenia szlacheckie. Toteż sejmiki stanowią kluczowy problem badawczy dawnej
Rzeczypospolitej. Autor zwraca uwagę, że to była nie tylko instytucja państwowa, ale też pewna idea polityczna. Sejmiki były ważnym fragmentem polskiej kultury
politycznej.The author studied noble parliamentary assemblies for many years. He knows a lot of their documents and he wrote a lot of works on noble parliamentary assemblies.
Currently, two large volumes on noble parliamentary assemblies have been published. One is printed noble parliamentary assemblies’ documents from 18th century. The other is a Poznan noble parliamentary assembly’s monograph concerning the years 1764–1793. In connection to this, the author shares his thoughts on 18th century noble parliamentary assemblies. The author states that in general there are more works on 17th and the beginning of 18th century noble parliamentary assemblies. This is because this was the period of the greatest importance of noble parliamentary assemblies. The years 1764–1793 received less attention. Therefore the two volumes published recently are even more valuable. The aim of the article is to confront the author’s former findings with the content of the two published volumes regarding the noble parliamentary assemblies of the 18th century; in particular, when it comes to the Poznan noble parliamentary assembly’s monograph concerning the years 1764–1793. The author emphasized that until year 1764 there existed not many legal acts regulating the organization and functioning of the assemblies. This changed in the period of numerous reforms between 1764 and 1793. The author points out that liberalism and noble democracy in the Republic (Rzeczpospolita) were mainly realized to a large extent through the noble assemblies. Therefore, the noble parliamentary assemblies are a key research problem of the old Republic. The author points out that it was not only a state institution, but also a political idea.

Dear Sir,
I enclose printed particulars of a translation of Villon’s Poetry, by Payne, whom you doubtless know as author of “The Masque of Shadows,” “Intaglios,” &c. In common with a number of literary men, I am anxious to see the book in print; and [p. 2] there seems no such ready means to that end as a private subscription.
Mr Payne was not disposed to move in the matter beyond the circle of his own immediate friends; so he has placed his subscription list in my hands, that I may see if the necessary complement of subscribers cannot be obtained by seeking a little further.
[p. 3] May I reckon upon you? If so, pray do not trouble to write in reply, but kindly fill up the subscription form and return it to me at the above address.
I am very truly yours
H Buxton Forman [flourish]
