Multimessenger Probes of Supermassive Black Hole Spin Evolution by Angelo Ricarte, Priyamvada Natarajan, Ramesh Narayan, Daniel C. M. Palumbo

“…We show that the observed spin distribution is in agreement with a model that includes jet-driven spin-down, a key mechanism that acts to modulate spins across cosmic time at both high and very low specific accretion rates. The data also clearly prefer models with coherent accretion over models in which accretion disks rapidly switch from prograde to retrograde. …”

New insights into the phylogeny and infrageneric taxonomy of Saussurea based on hybrid capture phylogenomics (Hyb-Seq) by Liansheng Xu, Zhuqiu Song, Tian Li, Zichao Jin, Buyun Zhang, Siyi Du, Shuyuan Liao, Xingjie Zhong, Yousheng Chen

“…For the first time, we recovered a well-resolved nuclear phylogeny of Saussurea consisting of four main clades, which was also supported by morphological data. Our analyses show that ancient hybridization is the most likely source of deep cytoplasmic-nuclear conflict in Saussurea, and a phylogeny based on nuclear data is more suitable than one based on chloroplast data for exploring the infrageneric classification of Saussurea. …”

“…Results Among the pre-frail respondents, those with lower social participation (AOR 0.55 [95% CI 0.44–0.69]) had less risk of inadequate medication adherence; while lower social connection (AOR 1.91 [95% CI 1.54–2.36]), lower trust (AOR 2.80 [95% CI 2.25–3.47]), lower cohesion (AOR 2.04 [95% CI 1.65–2.53]), and lower reciprocity (AOR 2.32 [95% CI 1.87–2.88]) were all related to higher odds of inadequate medication adherence. Also, lower social participation (AOR 0.54 [95% CI 0.40–0.74]) was linked to less risk of inadequate medication adherence, while lower trust (AOR 1.89 [95% CI 1.41–2.54]), lower cohesion (AOR 1.68 [95% CI 1.24–2.26]), and lower reciprocity (AOR 1.52 [95% CI 1.14–2.04]) were all found to have a greater odds of inadequate medication adherence in frail respondents. …”
