Spherical Accretion in the Schwarzschild Spacetime in the Newtonian Analogous Construct by Shubhrangshu Ghosh, Souvik Ghose, Kalyanbrata Pal, Arunabha Bhadra, Tapas K. Das

“…The Bondi accretion rate at outer sonic radii, however, remains consistent with that of the GR case. The primary reason for the deviation of our findings from the classical Bondi solution is likely due to the inconsistency between the Euler-type equation in the presence of velocity-dependent TR13 NAP within the standard Newtonian hydrodynamics framework, and the corresponding GR Euler equation, regardless of the fluid’s energy. …”

Refined methodology for quantifying Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence using Galleria mellonella by Christopher M. R. Axline, Travis J. Kochan, Sophie Nozick, Timothy Ward, Tania Afzal, Issay Niki, Sumitra D. Mitra, Ethan VanGosen, Julia Nelson, Aliki Valdes, David Hynes, William Cheng, Joanne Lee, Prarthana Prashanth, Timothy L. Turner, Nathan B. Pincus, Marc H. Scheetz, Kelly E. R. Bachta, Alan R. Hauser

“…For some P. aeruginosa strains, as few as 1–5 colony-forming units are sufficient to kill G. mellonella, which poses challenges for determining LD50 values. For this reason, some groups have used time-to-death as a measure of P. aeruginosa virulence, but methodologies have not been standardized. …”
