Based on detailed 2D and 3D numerical radiation hydrodynamicscalculations of time-dependent compressible convection, we have studiedthe dynamics and thermal structure of the convective surface layers of aprototypical late-type M-dwarf at T_eff=2800 K, and log g=5.0with solar chemical composition. The thermal structure of the atmosphereis dominated by molecular absorption, the formation o

The ages of the oldest stars in the Galaxy indicate when star formationbegan, and provide a minimum age of the Universe. Radioactive dating ofmeteoritic material and stars relies on comparing the present abundanceratios of radioactive and stable nuclear species to the theoreticallypredicted ratios of their production. The radioisotope 232 Th (half life14 Gyr) has been used to date Galactic stars,

A common currency requires common economic policies, which is largely lacking in the euro area. As a result, large economic and social imbalances have emerged. The chapter examine

Simultaneous digital breast tomosynthesis and mechanical imaging (DBTMI), a novel screening approach, combines anatomic DBT with functional analysis of the stress distribution on the compressed breast by mechanical imaging (MI). Preliminary studies suggest potential to reduce false positive findings. DBTMI requires to align DBT and MI images. In this study, we have analyzed robustness to alignment
