Galaxy evolution in the post-merger regime. III -- The triggering of active galactic nuclei peaks immediately after coalescence by Sara Ellison, Leonardo Ferreira, Robert Bickley, Tess Grindlay, Samir Salim, Shoshannah Byrne-Mamahit, Shobita Satyapal, David R. Patton, Jillian M. Scudder

“…Our main results are: 1) Regardless of the metric used, we find that the peak AGN excess (compared with a matched control sample) occurs immediately after coalescence, at 0 < T_PM < 0.16 Gyr. 2) The excess of AGN is observed until long after coalescence; both the mid-IR selected AGN and broad line AGN are more common than in the control sample even in the longest time bin of our sample (0.96 < T_PM < 1.76 Gyr). 3) The AGN excess is larger for more luminous and bolometrically dominant AGN, and we find that AGN in post-mergers are generally more luminous than secularly triggered events. 4) A deficit of broad line AGN in the pre-merger phase, that evolves into an excess in post-mergers is consistent with evolution of the covering fraction of nuclear obscuring material. …”

Tsardom of Muscovy Traditional Culture and Peter's Westernization Project by T. V. Chernikova

“…Peter's Westernization was indeed a new stage in adopting European experience because he removed the state and church barriers in the communication of Russian people with Western Europeans and encouraged not only going to the West for education and science, but also opened the way to the creation of secular education and science in Russia. These were prerequisites for the beginning of the modernization of Russia.In other matters, Peter's westernization differed from the previous periods only in the number of cultural and institutional adoptions. …”

El fomento de la dignidad no es una utopía, al contrario, es una necesidad indispensable porque sin ella no pueden concretarse los derechos y deberes humanos de los que tanto dependen la seguridad, supervivencia y felicidad de todos y todas. …”

Determination of ²³⁸U Content by Gamma Radiation Emitting from ^234mPa Radionuclide by A. Khruschinski, S. Kutsen, A. Zhukouski, Naoyuki Sugai, Hiroshi Sugai, Michinori Mogi

“…The most optimal way to control 238U is to use the 234mPa radionuclide, the activity of which, due to its short lifetime (≈ 1.2 min), is unambiguously related to the activity of 238U even if the secular equilibrium is disturbed in the sample under studyРossibility of use of the 234mPa nuclide gamma radiation to determine 238U with a scintillation detector in a medium containing natural radionuclides is investigated and demonstrated using the simplest examples. …”
