TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate whether use of updated and more accurate values for these parameters can remove observed interlaboratory differences in the measured T-Δ relationship, using the updated parameters, they reprocess 14 published calibration data sets measured in 11 different laboratories, representing many mineralogies, bulk compositions, sample types, reaction temperatures and sample preparation and analysis methods.
Abstract: The clumped isotopic composition of carbonate-derived CO (denoted Δ) is a function of carbonate formation temperature and in natural samples can act as a recorder of paleoclimate, burial, or diagenetic conditions. The absolute abundance of heavy isotopes in the universal standards VPDB and VSMOW (defined by four parameters: R , R , R , and λ) impact calculated Δ values. Here, we investigate whether use of updated and more accurate values for these parameters can remove observed interlaboratory differences in the measured T-Δ relationship. Using the updated parameters, we reprocess 14 published calibration data sets measured in 11 different laboratories, representing many mineralogies, bulk compositions, sample types, reaction temperatures, and sample preparation and analysis methods. Exploiting this large composite data set (n = 1,253 sample replicates), we investigate the possibility for a “universal” clumped isotope calibration. We find that applying updated parameters improves the T-Δ relationship (reduces residuals) within most labs and improves overall agreement but does not eliminate all interlaboratory differences. We reaffirm earlier findings that different mineralogies do not require different calibration equations and that cleaning procedures, method of pressure baseline correction, and mass spectrometer type do not affect interlaboratory agreement. We also present new estimates of the temperature dependence of the acid digestion fractionation for Δ (Δ*), based on combining reprocessed data from four studies, and new theoretical equilibrium values to be used in calculation of the empirical transfer function. Overall, we have ruled out a number of possible causes of interlaboratory disagreement in the T-Δ relationship, but many more remain to be investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of additional cosmological constraints on the shape and amplitude of the density power spectrum and the Hubble parameter and from supernovae were applied to further refine the parameter estimates.
Abstract: We report an investigation of cosmological parameters based on the measurements of anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) made by the Arcminute Cosmology Bolometer Array Receiver (ACBAR). We use the ACBAR data in concert with other recent CMB measurements to derive Bayesian estimates of parameters in inflation-motivated adiabatic cold dark matter models. We apply a series of additional cosmological constraints on the shape and amplitude of the density power spectrum and the Hubble parameter and from supernovae to further refine our parameter estimates. Previous estimates of parameters are confirmed, with sensitive measurements of the power spectrum now ranging from l ~ 3 to 2800. Comparing individual best-fit models, we find that the addition of ΩΛ as a parameter dramatically improves the fits. We also use the high-l data of ACBAR, along with similar data from the Cosmic Background Imager and Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association array, to investigate potential secondary anisotropies from the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. We show that the results from the three experiments are consistent under this interpretation and use the data, combined and individually, to estimate σ8 from the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich component.

TL;DR: In this article, a multispectral photometric study of the Moon between solar phase angles of 0 and 85° was performed using the Clementine UV/Vis camera and a correction factor of 0.532 was determined to convert the web site (www.planetary.brown.edu/clementine/calibration.html) reflectances to absolute values.

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonrelativistic three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of Poynting flux dominated (PFD) jets are presented.
Abstract: Non-relativistic three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of Poynting flux dominated (PFD) jets are presented. Our study focuses on the propagation of strongly magnetized hypersonic, but sub-Alfv\'enic ($C^{2}_{\rm s} \ll V^{2}_{\rm jet} 1$). In the jet frame the mode grows locally and expands radially at each axial position where the jet is unstable: the instability, therefore, does not propagate as a wave along the jet length. A naturally-occurring, external helically magnetized wind, which is (quasi-) axially current-free, surrounds the well-collimated current-carrying jet and reduces velocity shear between the jet and external medium. This stabilizes the growth of MHD Kelvin-Helmholtz surface modes in the inner jet flow.
