Population of Merging Compact Binaries Inferred Using Gravitational Waves through GWTC-3 by Sudhir, Vivishek

“…While we continue to find that the mass distribution of a binary’s more massive component strongly decreases as a function of primary mass, we observe no evidence of a strongly suppressed merger rate above approximately 60 M ⊙ , which would indicate the presence of a upper mass gap. …”

Molecular characterization of microbial interactions with labile dissolved organic matter by Halloran, Kathryn H.

“…Here, I apply aniline derivatization to filtrate from cultures of Prochlorococcus grown under 24-hour diel light/dark conditions and sampled every two hours. I find that Prochlorococcus cells not only release metabolites into solution, but also take those metabolites up again, with diel rhythmicity. …”

Contribution of the Hydration Force to Vesicle Adhesion on Titanium Oxide by Jackman, Joshua A., Zan, Goh Haw, Zhao, Zhilei, Cho, Nam-Joon

“…Herein, we investigated the influence of vesicle surface charge on vesicle adsorption onto titanium oxide and observed that electrostatic attraction is insufficient for vesicle rupture. Following this line of evidence, a continuum model based on the DLVO forces and a non-DLVO hydration force was applied to investigate the role of different interfacial forces in modulating the lipid–substrate interaction. …”

Exploring the moderating role of expressive suppression in the relationship between psychopathy and aggression by Maria, Dayla

“…Additionally, expressive suppression had a marginally significant moderating effect on the relationship between psychopathy and reactive aggression, after controlling for gender, age, ethnicity, and social adversity. In line with predictions, no such moderating effect was observed for proactive aggression. …”
