Wiebe, E. Y. Young, Spider Collaboration

“…Component-separation algorithms operating in both the spatial and harmonic domains are applied to probe their consistency and to quantify modeling errors associated with their assumptions. Analyses of diffuse Galactic dust emission spanning the full Spider region demonstrate (i) a spectral energy distribution that is broadly consistent with a modified-blackbody (MBB) model with a spectral index of β _d = 1.45 ± 0.05 (1.47 ± 0.06) for E ( B )-mode polarization, slightly lower than that reported by Planck for the full sky; (ii) an angular power spectrum broadly consistent with a power law; and (iii) no significant detection of line-of-sight polarization decorrelation. …”

Improving outcomes for people with autism spectrum disorders by reducing mental health problems: the IAMHealth research programme including one RCT by Emily Simonoff, Gillian Baird, Bryony Beresford, Tony Charman, Martin Knapp, Andrew Pickles, Carol Povey, Tom Purser, Paramala Santosh, Vicky Slonims, Stephen Scott

“…Conclusions We have shown that MHBP in autistic people at different time points show high levels of persistence in the same individuals, highlighting the importance of early recognition and targeted, autism-specific interventions. Furthermore, our finding that young autistic adults may have difficulty recognising MHP as distinct from autistic symptoms increases the need for autism-specific instruments to detect MHBP, such as the ACB. …”
