Cambio y continuidades en la territorialidad nativa. El espacio noreste novohispano, siglos XVI-XVIII by Cecilia Sheridan

“… En el largo y complejo proceso de conquista del espacio noreste novohispano el control de los indios nativos se intentó por tres vías básicamente: la vía militar sostenida en el uso de fuerzas presidiales para la defensa de los poblados no nativos y el castigo de los insumisos; la vía de la conversión a través del instrumento misional orientado a acotar el espacio de infidelidad; la vía de la colonización que podría calificarse como la expresión secular del proceso de conquista. Esta última, que podemos medir por la persistencia de los poblados civiles en zonas consideradas como fronteras de guerra, es tal vez el logro más fecundo del proceso. …”

Role of Barystatic Sea Level Change in Global Mass Conservation and Its Excitation to Length‐Of‐Day Variations by Qiqi Shi, Yonghong Zhou, Cancan Xu, Xueqing Xu

“…Abstract Barystatic sea level stores excess water mass from the atmosphere and land to maintain global mass conservations within the Earth system. Besides the secular contribution to global sea‐level rise, changes in barystatic sea level also play an important role in mass‐induced length‐of‐day (LOD) variations over a few years or shorter periods. …”

Galaxy evolution in the post-merger regime. III -- The triggering of active galactic nuclei peaks immediately after coalescence by Sara Ellison, Leonardo Ferreira, Robert Bickley, Tess Grindlay, Samir Salim, Shoshannah Byrne-Mamahit, Shobita Satyapal, David R. Patton, Jillian M. Scudder

“…Our main results are: 1) Regardless of the metric used, we find that the peak AGN excess (compared with a matched control sample) occurs immediately after coalescence, at 0 < T_PM < 0.16 Gyr. 2) The excess of AGN is observed until long after coalescence; both the mid-IR selected AGN and broad line AGN are more common than in the control sample even in the longest time bin of our sample (0.96 < T_PM < 1.76 Gyr). 3) The AGN excess is larger for more luminous and bolometrically dominant AGN, and we find that AGN in post-mergers are generally more luminous than secularly triggered events. 4) A deficit of broad line AGN in the pre-merger phase, that evolves into an excess in post-mergers is consistent with evolution of the covering fraction of nuclear obscuring material. …”
