Effects of diurnal variation and caffeine consumption on Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) performance in healthy young adults.
The Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) is a continuous performance test (CPT) that assesses attention, impulsivity, and processing speed. CPTs are used in the assessment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in...

Multienergy X-ray detection is critical to effectively differentiate materials in a variety of diagnostic radiology and nondestructive testing applications. Silicon and selenium X-ray detectors are the most common for...
Cosmological distances with general-relativistic ray tracing
Abstract
In this work we present the first results from a new ray-tracing tool to calculate
cosmological distances in the context of fully nonlinear general relativity. We use...

Searching for axion-like particles with X-ray polarimeters
X-ray telescopes are an exceptional tool for searching for new fundamental physics. In particular, X-ray observations have already placed world-leading bounds on the interaction between photons and axion-like particles (ALPs)....
Dynamic structure elucidation of chemical reactivity by laser pulses and X-ray probes
Visualising chemical reactions by X-ray methods is a tantalising prospect. New light sources provide the prospect for studying atomic, electronic and energy transfers accompanying chemical change by X-ray spectroscopy and...
A long-lived neutron star merger remnant in GW170817
L. Piro, Bing Zhang, Eleanora Troja, Geoffrey Ryan, Hendrik Van Eerten, R Ricci, M. H. Wieringa, A. Tiengo, N Butler, S. B. Cenko, O. D. Fox, H. G. Khandrika, G. Novara, T. Sakamoto
Feb 01, 2019
Multimessenger observations of GW170817 have not conclusively established whether the merger remnant is a black hole (BH) or a neutron star (NS). We show that a long-lived magnetized NS with a poloidal field B ≈ 1012 G is fully...
The First High-contrast Images of X-Ray Binaries
Abstract
X-ray binaries provide exceptional laboratories for understanding the physics of matter under the most extreme conditions. Until recently, there were few, if any...

Relativistic X-Ray Reverberation from Super-Eddington Accretion Flow
X-ray reverberation is a powerful technique which maps out the structure of
the inner regions of accretion disks around black holes using the echoes of the
coronal emission reflected by the disk. While the theory of X-ray...
The hyperluminous X‐ray source population
We have recently published a catalog of 1843 candidate ultraluminous X‐ray sources (ULXs). This is the largest catalog of ULXs to date and was built by cross‐correlating recent serendipitous source catalogs from the XMM‐Newton...

Abstract: Reaching the full potential of X-ray nanotomography, in particular for biological samples, is limited by many factors, of which one of the most serious is radiation damage. Although sample deformation caused by...
Enjoying the Tension: Reading Qoh 2:25 in the Context of Qoh 2
Qoheleth’s experiential method and inner-dialogue creates tensions on the levels of language, style, content and theological ideas. In this paper we seek to explore this tension in relation to a short section (Qoh 2:24-26) that...
