Star formation induced

Interesting variants on the simplest star formation laws include stochastic self-propagating star formation (Gerola Seiden 1978 Dopita 1985), self-regulating star formation (Arimoto 1989 Hensler Burkert 1990), stochastic star-formation bursts (Matteucci Tosi 1985), separate laws for the halo and disk, the latter including terms that account for cloud collisions and induced star formation from interactions between massive stars and clouds (Ferrini et al. 1992, 1994), and the existence of a threshold surface gas density for star formation (Kennicutt 1989 Chamcham, Pitts Tayler 1993). 

Fig. 8.29. Europium to iron ratios plotted against metallicity [Fe/H] according to the model of supernova-induced star formation, after Tsujimoto, Shigeyama and Yoshii (1999). Grey scales represent predicted stellar surface densities in the ([Fe/H],[Eu/Fe]) plane convolved with a Gaussian with o = 0.2dex for Eu/Fe and 0.15 dex for Fe/H, and symbols show observational data from various authors. The inset shows the unconvolved predictions.

The idea that star formation can have an induced component which depends on the available stellar population in the disk was first realized by Elmegreen and Lada and Herbst and Assousa, and at about the same time by Mueller and Amett for steUar systems. We shall discuss the effect of such an assumption on models of star formation in local models in Section IV now we can show that this picture carries over quite nicely into the global models. However, in these pictures, since there has been little analytic work on the large-scale structure (with the exception of Shore and Fujimoto and Ikeuchi ), we must confine the discussion to the more abstract aspects of percolation theory on differentially rotating planes and then discuss the reinterpretation of the results in light of the modeling that has been done to date. 

Shore first introduced some Langevin models in which the effects of induced star formation on the evolution of a galaxy are investigated. In Table I we summarize all the models described in the literature we will analyze only the main features and refer to the original papers for a more detailed discussion. Let us call s(i) and g(t) the mass fraction of stars and gas, re-... 

Now b is the modified Schmidt S rate (spontaneous star formation), a is the induced rate of cloud consumption, d is the rate of cloud destruction by background sources, and e is the rate of formation of clouds out of diffuse gas. 

Here r is the rate of star decay, r is the rate of return of mass to gas, a is the rate of induced star formation, and a is the rate of star breeding. 

Two recent papers on furan-containing dendrimers have been added to the original work based on the DA reaction discussed in Section 6.8.2. The first describes the formation of star polymers induced by the cyclotrimerization of furan derivatives bearing aliphatic aldehyde functions attached at the 2 and 5 ring positions [76]. This hyper-branched structure was therefore generated by the formation of trifunctional acetal moieties, as shown in 42, and should therefore be readily hydrolyzed making the whole process reversible, although this latter aspect was not pointed out by the authors. 

The source for stellar magnetism, at least in the proto-stellar phase, must lie in the environment Measurements of dust-induced polarization in nearby molecular clouds, especially Taurus-Auriga and p Ophiuchus, show that the magnetic field is complex and pervasive throughout the parent cloud in which star formation is occurring. 

The position of this star in the HR-diagram is among the bulk of luminous association members, which are 1n the hydrogen burning phase. This result, together with the star s high rotational velocity, favours the scenario of rotationally induced mixing (Maeder, 1987) for the formation of this Wolf-Rayet star. 

Abstract We have simulated the helium shell flashes on an 1.3 M0 white dwarf and estimated the amount of mass loss. Our results may suggest a serious difficulty for the theories of the formation of Type I supernovae and of the accretion-induced formation of neutron stars because a significant amount of envelope mass is ejected during a helium shell flash. 

The most comprehensive studies on shape-persistent Hekates have been performed on stilbenoid star-shaped molecules. Structures and mesomorphic properties are collected in Table 1. Core building blocks with only one repeating unit per arm and one flexible chain 26a,b, 28a-d, 30a did not show any liquid crystal properties [56-58]. In the series of two chain derivatives 28e, 30b,c the formation of meso-phases depend on the core [57-59]. The electron deficient triazine and the dicyanopyridine building block induced obviously columnar mesophases. The pyridine derivative 30b showed only a crystalline phase [58]. In the series of nine chain stars 26c-g [60-62] and 28f-n [57], the compounds formed columnar phases depending on the chain length of the peripheral chains. Propyloxy chains are too short but hexyloxy and dodecyloxy chains are sufficient for the formation of liquid crystal phases by nanosegregation [60-62]. This can be rationalised by a dense... 

When behavioral recordings are coupled with electroencephalography, in a digital format, the so-called Video-EEG, allows to prove, in freely moving animals, the behavioral and EEG effects after star fruit ingestion or after local apphcation in specific brain regions of either, the crude or the purified toxin. In the first case the hypothesis that experimentally uremic animals, induced by HgCl, a known model of renal failure [48], will reproduce the star fruit intoxication effects found in the patients can be tested (see above). In the second case, the hypothesis that the crude or purified toxin per se will be able to induce behavioral and EEG activity compatible with brain hyperexcitability, possibly associated to seizures is tested. As a positive effect, the latter experimental protocol (with not relationships with renal alterations) will even validate the potential of this neurotoxin as a new tool in the neuroscience field. 

There is a host of other intriguing phenomena associated with the structure and dynamics of stars, which we only list here. The inhomogeneous monomer density distribution in Fig. 2 is responsible for temperature and/or solvency variation in analogy to polymer brushes attached on a flat solid surface [198]. In fact, multiarm star solutions display a reversible thermoresponsive vitrification (see also Sect. 5) which, in contrast to polymer solutions, occurs upon heating rather than on cooling [199]. Another effect is the organization of multiarm stars in filaments induced by weak laser light due to action of electrostrictive forces [200]. This effect was recently attributed [201] to local concentration fluctuations which provide localized-intensity dependent refractive index variations. Hence, the structure factor speciflc to the particular material plays a crucial role in the pattern formation. 

For the (n,y) jS case the upper horizontal row of Figure 15.2 rqrresoits the successive formation of higher isotopes of the target element (the constant Z-chain) and the vertical rows the isobaric decay chains of each of these isotopes (the constant A-chains). The first of these two rows is indicated by heavy arrows. Chains which involve both induced transformations and radioactive decay play a central role in theories about the formation of the elements in the universe, in the thermonuclear reactions in the stars (Ch. 17), and in the synthesis of transuranium elements (Ch. 16).
