Massive Stars as Major Factories of Galactic Cosmic Rays
We report on a compelling similarity of the energy and radial distributions of multi-TeV CRs extracted from observations of gamma-rays and gas distributions near three young star clusters. The derived 1/r decrement of the CR density with the distance from a star cluster is a distinct signature of continuous, over a few million years, CR injection into the interstellar medium. The hard spectra and high acceleration efficiency reveal that these your star clusters are promising PeVatron candidate and may dominate the flux of highest energy galactic CRs.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is the aim of UN Sustainable Development Goal 3. We talk to Dr Michael Matthay about acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and how developments in basic and clinical research can help address the global targets for healthy living.
Behind the paper - “Artificial intelligence for precision oncology: beyond patient stratification”
The paper introduces AI and its applications in precision oncology. It discusses major advances and challenges beyond pattern recognition and classification tasks. It argues in favor of wider innovative uses of AI for bringing benefits to patients.
In this post, the author talks about the motivation behind the paper, important topics not covered in it and the excitement of doing research in this field.
