TL;DR: The European Grassland Butterfly Indicator as discussed by the authors shows a decline of 50% between 1990 and 2005, showing that the number of butterflies in the UK decreased by 50% over the same period.
Abstract: Since the first Butterfly Monitoring Scheme in the UK started in the mid-1970s, butterfly monitoring in Europe has developed in more than ten European countries. These schemes are aimed to assess regional and national trends in butterfly abundance per species. We discuss strengths and weaknesses of methods used in these schemes and give examples of applications of the data. A new development is to establish supra-national trends per species and multispecies indicators. Such indicators enable to report against the target to halt biodiversity loss by 2010. Our preliminary European Grassland Butterfly Indicator shows a decline of 50% between 1990 and 2005. We expect to develop a Grassland Butterfly Indicator with an improved coverage across European countries. We see also good perspectives to develop a supra-national indicator for climate change as well as an indicator for woodland butterflies.

TL;DR: While various density functionals predict qualitatively very different spin distributions, the CASSCF spin populations most closely correspond to the results obtained with the pure BP86 or OLYP rather than with the hybrid functionals.
Abstract: Using the CASSCF/CASPT2 approach, along with several DFT methods (PBE0, B3LYP, BP86, OLYP), we have investigated the bonding of CO, NO, and O2 molecules to two model heme systems: an iron(II) porphyrin with and without an axial imidazole ligand. The experimentally available binding energies are best reproduced by the CASPT2 method and with the OLYP functional. The other functionals considered perform much worse, either severly overbinding (BP86) or underbinding (B3LYP, PBE0). Significant discrepancies between the different density functionals are observed, not only for the energetics but sometimes also for structure predictions. This confirms our viewpoint that a balanced treatment of the electronic exchange and correlation is vital to describe the weak metal−ligand bond between heme and CO, NO, or O2. The binding energies ΔEb were split into two contributions: the so-called spin-pairing energy ΔEsp and the “inherent” binding energy ΔEb0, and both contributions were analyzed in terms of method and basis s...

TL;DR: In this article, the second-order structure function of the polarization angle follows the relation SF ∝ lα, α being dependent exclusively on the Alfvenic Mach number, which is observed only on supersonic but sub-Alfvenic simulations.
Abstract: Polarimetry is extensively used as a tool to trace the interstellar magnetic field projected on the plane of sky. Moreover, it is also possible to estimate the magnetic field intensity from polarimetric maps based on the Chandrasekhar-Fermi method. In this work, we present results for turbulent, isothermal, three-dimensional simulations of sub/supersonic and sub/super-Alfvenic cases. With the cubes, assuming perfect grain alignment, we created synthetic polarimetric maps for different orientations of the mean magnetic field with respect to the line of sight (LOS). We show that the dispersion of the polarization angle depends on the angle of the mean magnetic field regarding the LOS and on the Alfvenic Mach number. However, the second-order structure function of the polarization angle follows the relation SF ∝ lα, α being dependent exclusively on the Alfvenic Mach number. The results show an anticorrelation between the polarization degree and the column density, with exponent γ ~ − 0.5, in agreement with observations, which is explained by the increase in the dispersion of the polarization angle along the LOS within denser regions. However, this effect was observed exclusively on supersonic, but sub-Alfvenic, simulations. For the super-Alfvenic, and the subsonic model, the polarization degree showed to be independent of the column density. Our major quantitative result is a generalized equation for the CF method, which allowed us to determine the magnetic field strength from the polarization maps with errors <20%. We also account for the role of observational resolution on the CF method.

TL;DR: The results indicate the potential role of hydrophobic components of lipofuscin in blue light-induced damage to the RPE and suggest that singlet oxygen generation in non-polar environments is strongly wavelength-dependent.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray sources that have been discovered with HESS in the most sensitive blind survey of the Galactic plane at VHE energies conducted so far.
Abstract: Context.The detection of gamma rays in the very-high-energy (VHE) energy range (100 GeV-100 TeV) provides a direct view of the parent population of ultra-relativistic particles found in astrophysical sources. For this reason, VHE gamma rays are useful for understanding the underlying astrophysical processes in non-thermal sources. Aims.We investigate unidentified VHE gamma-ray sources that have been discovered with HESS in the most sensitive blind survey of the Galactic plane at VHE energies conducted so far. Methods.The HESS array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) has a high sensitivity compared with previous instruments (~ in 25 h observation time for a point-source detection), and with its large field of view, is well suited for scan-based observations. The on-going HESS survey of the inner Galaxy has revealed a large number of new VHE sources, and for each we attempt to associate the VHE emission with multi-wavelength data in the radio through X-ray wavebands. Results. For each of the eight unidentified VHE sources considered here, we present the energy spectra and sky maps of the sources and their environment. The VHE morphology is compared with available multi-wavelength data (mainly radio and X-rays). No plausible counterparts are found.
