Herschel PEP/HerMES: the redshift evolution of dust attenuation and of the total (UV+IR) star formation rate density

Burgarella, D.; Buat, V.; Gruppioni, C.; Cucciati, O.; Heinis, S.; Berta, S.; Bethermin, M.; Bock, J.; Cooray, Asantha; Dunlop, J.S.; Farrah, D.; Franceschini, Alberto; Le Floch, E.; Lutz, D.; Magnelli, B.; Nordon, R.; Oliver, S.J.; Page, Matthew J.; Popesso, P.; Pozzi, F.; Riguccini, L.; Vaccari, M.; Viero, M. P. (EDP Sciences, 2013)

Using new homogeneous luminosity functions (LFs) in the far-ultraviolet (FUV) from VVDS and in the far-infrared (FIR) from Herschel/PEP and Herschel/HerMES, we studied the evolution of the dust attenuation with redshift. ...

Is Swaziland on track with the 2015 millennium development goals?

Appunni, Sathiya Susuman (SAGE Publications, 2017)

According to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) agreement, each participating country has to periodically provide a report that will show the progress on their achievement towards the goals. This article’s aim is ...

Leisure athletes at risk of medical complications: outcomes of pre-participation screening among 15,778 endurance runners - SAFER VII

Schwabe, Karen; Schwellnus, Martin; Swanevelder, Sonja; Jordaan, Esme; Derman, Wayne; Bosch, Andrew (Taylor & Francis, 2018)

OBJECTIVE: International guidelines for pre-participation screening of masters/leisure athletes to identify those that require medical assessment exist, but have not been implemented in mass-community based sports events. ...

Correlates of early sexual debut and its associated STI/HIV risk factors among sexually active youths in Malawi

Ningpuanyeh, Wilson Chialepeh; Appunni, Sathiya Susuman (SAGE Publications, 2017)

This study explores the correlates of early sexual debut and risk factors of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among the youth in Malawi. Data was obtained from the Malawi Demographic Health Survey 2010. Out of a ...

(American Astronomical Society, 2013)

Star formation is well traced by dust, which absorbs the UV/optical light produced by young stars in actively starforming regions and re-emits the energy in the far-infrared/ submillimeter (FIR/submm; e.g., Savage & ...

Prerace medical screening and education reduce medical encounters in distance road races: SAFER VIII study in 153 208 race starters

Modelling the rotation period distribution of M dwarfs in the Kepler field

Koen, Chris (Springer Verlag, 2018)

McQuillan et al. (Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc.432:1203, 2013) presented 1570 periods P of M dwarf stars in the field of view of the Kepler telescope. It is expected that most of these reflect rotation periods, due to starspots. ...
