We use the results of relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of jet-interstellar medium (ISM) interactions in a galaxy with a radio-loud AGN to quantify the extent of ionization in the central few kpcs of the gaseous galactic disc. We perform post-process radiative transfer of AGN radiation through the simulated gaseous jet-perturbed disc to estimate the extent of photo-ionization by the AGN with an incident luminosity of 10 erg s. We also map the gas that is collisionally ionized due to shocks driven by the jet. The analysis was carried out for simulations with similar jet power (10 erg s) but different jet orientations with respect to the gas disc. We find that the shocks from the jets can ionize a significant fraction (up to 33 [Formula: see text]) of dense gas ([Formula: see text]) in the disc, and that the jets clear out the central regions of gas for AGN radiation to penetrate to larger distances in the disc. Jets inclined towards the disc plane couple more strongly with the ISM and ionize a larger fraction of gas in the disc as compared to the vertical jet. However, similar to previous studies, we find that the AGN radiation is quickly absorbed by the outer layers of dense clouds in the disc, and is not able to substantially ionize the disc on a global scale. Thus, compared to jet-ISM interactions, we expect that photo-ionization by the AGN radiation only weakly affects the star-formation activity in the central regions of the galactic disc (≲ 1 kpc), although the jet-induced shocks can spread farther out.

Article Synopsis
- - Understanding the microstrain environment around diatomic sites is key to enhancing electrochemical CO reduction (eCOR), but creating this environment precisely is difficult.
- - Researchers developed Ag-CdTMT electrocatalysts with diatomic AgNS-CdNS sites, achieving nearly 100% Faradaic efficiency for CO reduction at high current density (∼200 mA cm in H-cell).
- - The study reveals how engineering microstrain and using adjacent silver atoms can improve electron localization and boost COOH adsorption, which is crucial for optimizing the reduction process.

Background: Numerous studies have shown that various products of Citrus sinensis, for example, crude extracts, essential oil, and purified components, possess anti-acne properties. However, the development of chlorogenic acid-functionalized silver nanoparticles of C. sinensis in gel matrix aiding QbD design has not been evaluated for acne treatment.

Background: The revalorization of agro-industrial by-products by applying ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation to biofortify with phenolic compounds has been studied in recent times, showing improvements in the individual and total phenolic content and their bioactivity. Therefore, the main aim of this work was to optimize the biofortification process of phenolic compounds by UVA radiation to strawberry agro-industrial by-products (RF). Moreover, the effect of UVA radiation on the potential biological activity of the phenolics accumulated in RF due to the treatment was also determined.

Blazars are active galactic nuclei (AGN) with relativistic jets whose non-thermal radiation is extremely variable on various timescales. This variability seems mostly random, although some quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), implying systematic processes, have been reported in blazars and other AGN. QPOs with timescales of days or hours are especially rare in AGN and their nature is highly debated, explained by emitting plasma moving helically inside the jet, plasma instabilities or orbital motion in an accretion disc.

The patients and surgeons are usually exposed in massive ionizing radiation during fluoroscopy-based navigation orthopedic surgery. Comparatively, ultrasound-assisted orthopedic surgery could not only decrease the risk of radiation but also provide rich navigation information. However, due to the artifacts in ultrasound images, the extraction of bone structure from ultrasound sequences can be a particularly difficult task, which leads to some major challenges in ultrasound-assisted orthopedic navigation.
