AbstractThe dynamical mechanism to form rings at Lindblad resonances in a barred galaxy is now well-known: due to its dissipative character, the gas is forced in a spiral structure, and experiences torques from the bar potential. Angular momentum is transferred until gas accumulates in the resonant rings. Some problems remain however to account for all observations, such as the very different time-scales for nuclear, inner and outer ring formation, while the three are frequently observed in the same galaxy; the shapes, orientations and thickness of the rings, etc... The adequacy of the present gas dynamical modelizations is discussed.Lenses are secondary components of barred galaxies that could originate from bar evolution. No model until now has met the observational constraints, in particular the sharp edge of the lenses, their strong velocity anisotropy, and their small thickness. We propose here that lenses are the result of partial bar destruction, a necessary step in a feedback cycle of bar formation-destruction, a cycle driven by gas accretion.

Abstract:
AbstractBarred galaxies contain substructures such as a pair of dust lanes and nuclear rings, with the latter being sites of intense star formation. We study the substructure formation as well as star formation in nuclear rings using numerical simulations. We find that nuclear rings form not by the Lindblad resonances, as previously thought, but by the centrifugal barrier that inflowing gas along dust lanes cannot overcome. This predicts a smaller ring in a more strongly barred galaxy, consistent with observations. Star formation rate (SFR) in a nuclear ring is determined primarily by the mass inflow rate to the ring. In our models, the SFR typically shows a short strong burst associated with the rapid gas infall and stays very small for the rest of the evolution. When the SFR is low, ages of young star clusters exhibit an azimuthal gradient along the ring since star formation takes place mostly near the contact points between the dust lanes and the nuclear ring. When the SFR is large, on the other hand, star formation is widely distributed throughout the whole length of the ring, with no apparent age gradient of star clusters. Since observed ring star formation appears long-lived with episodic bursts, our results suggest that the bar region should be replenished continually with fresh gas from outside.

AbstractThe formation scenario of ring galaxies is addressed in this paper. We focus on the P-type ring galaxies presented in Madore, Nelson & Petrillo (2009), particularly on the axis-symmetric ones. Our simulations show that a ring can form through the collision of disc and dwarf galaxies, and the locations, widths, and density contrasts of the ring are well determined. We find that a ring galaxy such as AM 2302-322 can be produced by this collision scenario.

Abstract:
Eukaryotic cells require IQGAP family multidomain adapter proteins for cytokinesis, but many questions remain about how IQGAPs contribute to the process. Here we show that fission yeast IQGAP Rng2p is required for both the normal process of contractile ring formation from precursor nodes and an alternative mechanism by which rings form from strands of actin filaments. Our work adds to previous studies suggesting a role for Rng2p in node and ring formation. We demonstrate that Rng2p is also required for normal ring constriction and septum formation. Systematic analysis of domain-deletion mutants established how the four domains of Rng2p contribute to cytokinesis. Contrary to a previous report, the actin-binding calponin homology domain of Rng2p is not required for viability, ring formation, or ring constriction. The IQ motifs are not required for ring formation but are important for ring constriction and septum formation. The GTPase-activating protein (GAP)–related domain is required for node-based ring formation. The Rng2p C-terminal domain is the only domain essential for viability. Our studies identified several distinct functions of Rng2 at multiple stages of cytokinesis.

Abstract:
Abstract We investigate the gravitational instability (GI) of dust ring structures and the formation of planetesimals by their gravitational collapse. The normalized dispersion relation of a self-gravitating ring structure includes two parameters that are related to its width and line mass (the mass per unit length). We survey these parameters and calculate the growth rate and wavenumber. Additionally, we investigate the formation of planetesimals by growth of the GI of the ring that is formed by the growth of the secular GI of the protoplanetary disk. We adopt a massive, dust-rich disk as a disk model. We find the range of radii for fragmentation by the ring GI as a function of the width of the ring. The innermost radius for the ring GI is smaller for a smaller ring width. We also determine the range of the initial planetesimal mass resulting from the fragmentation of the ring GI. Our results indicate that the planetesimal mass can be as large as 1028 g at its birth after the fragmentation. It can be as low as about 1025 g if the ring width is 0.1% of the ring radius, and the lower limit increases with the ring width. Furthermore, we obtain approximate formulae for the upper and lower limits of the planetesimal mass. We predict that the planetesimals formed by the ring GI have prograde rotations because of the Coriolis force acting on the contracting dust. This is consistent with the fact that many trans-Neptunian binaries exhibit prograde rotation.

Abstract:
Ring formation occurs in the rotary kilns used by the pulp and paper industry to regenerate the lime needed to produce white liquor. The main rings are: burning zone rings, mid-kiln rings, dust rings and/or mud balls, and mud rings. While the exact mechanisms of ring formation are not completely understood, frequent changes in the production rate and the mud solids, high soda content in the mud, and high levels of dust are believed to play a major role in ring formation. The presence of rings can restrict the movement of material through the kiln. If undetected, this can result in overheating of the refractory lining. In the worst case, the presence of rings can lead to unscheduled downtime to clean out the ring and replace damaged refractory bricks. Depending on the severity, the cost of repairs and lost production can be in excess of US$3 million for a single event. Even if the root cause of ring formation is known, from a practical standpoint, it can be difficult to eliminate rings. In mills where ring formation is a recurring problem, mechanical ring removal systems should be considered. This paper describes the use of ring removal systems as a cost effective way to mitigate the problems associated with ring formation.

Abstract:
Aims. Although S0 galaxies are often thought to be “red and dead”, they frequently demonstrate star formation organised in ring structures. We try to clarify the nature of this phenomenon and its difference from star formation in spiral galaxies. Here we study the moderate-luminosity nearby S0 galaxy, NGC 4513. Methods. By applying long-slit spectroscopy along the major axis of NGC 4513, we measured gas and star kinematics, Lick indices for the main body of the galaxy, and strong emission-line flux ratios in the ring. After inspecting the gas excitation in the ring using the line ratios diagnostic diagrams and showing that it is ionised by young stars, we determined the gas oxygen abundance using popular strong-line calibration methods. We estimated the star formation rate (SFR) in the outer ring using the archival Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) ultraviolet images of the galaxy. Results. The ionised gas counter-rotates the stars over the whole extension of NGC 4513 suggesting that it is being accreted from outside. The gas metallicity in the ring is slightly subsolar, [O/H] = −0.2 dex, matching the metallicity of the stellar component of the main galactic disc. However the stellar component of the ring is much more massive than can be explained by the current star formation level in the ring. We conclude that the ring of NGC 4513 is probably the result of tidal disruption of a massive gas-rich satellite, or may be the consequence of a long star-formation event provoked by gas accretion from a cosmological filament that started some 3 Gyr ago.

Abstract:
Most common pattern of Bacterial division is binary fission. Bacterial division occurs by the construction of Z ring at appropriate time and at a defined site. FtsZ is the major component of Z ring formation, and the polymerization of FtsZ is regulated in space and time by negative and positive regulators of FtsZ assembly. In the bacterial cell positive and negative regulators help in attaining a critical concentration gradient, such that at mid cell the critical concentration required for Z ring formation is lowest, thus Z ring formation takes place at this site only.

Abstract:
Abstract Although the septin ring and collar in budding yeast were described over 20 years ago, there is still controversy regarding the organization of septin filaments within these structures and about the way in which the ring first forms and about how it converts into a collar at the mother-bud neck. Here we present quantitative analyses of the recruitment of fluorescently-tagged septins to the ring and collar through the cell cycle. Septin ring assembly began several minutes after polarity establishment and this interval was longer in daughter than in mother cells, suggesting asymmetric inheritance of septin regulators. Septins formed an initial faint and irregular ring, which became more regular as septins were recruited at a constant rate. This steady rate of septin recruitment continued for several minutes after the ring converted to a collar at bud emergence. We did not detect a stepwise change in septin fluorescence during the ring-to-collar transition. After collar formation, septins continued to accumulate at the bud neck, though at a reduced rate, until the onset of cytokinesis when the amount of neck-localized septins rapidly decreased. Implications for the mechanism of septin ring assembly are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
Context. Pebble accretion is expected to be the dominant process for the formation of massive solid planets, such as the cores of giant planets and super-Earths. So far, this process has been studied under the assumption that dust coagulates and drifts throughout the full protoplanetary disk. However, observations show that many disks are structured in rings that may be due to pressure maxima, preventing the global radial drift of the dust. Aims. We aim to study how the pebble-accretion paradigm changes if the dust is confined in a ring. Methods. Our approach is mostly analytic. We derived a formula that provides an upper bound to the growth of a planet as a function of time. We also numerically implemented the analytic formulæ to compute the growth of a planet located in a typical ring observed in the DSHARP survey, as well as in a putative ring rescaled at 5 AU. Results. Planet Type I migration is stopped in a ring, but not necessarily at its center. If the entropy-driven corotation torque is desaturated, the planet is located in a region with low dust density, which severely limits its accretion rate. If the planet is instead near the ring’s center, its accretion rate can be similar to the one it would have in a classic (ringless) disk of equivalent dust density. However, the growth rate of the planet is limited by the diffusion of dust in the ring, and the final planet mass is bounded by the total ring mass. The DSHARP rings are too far from the star to allow the formation of massive planets within the disk’s lifetime. However, a similar ring rescaled to 5 AU could lead to the formation of a planet incorporating the full ring mass in less than 1/2 My. Conclusions. The existence of rings may not be an obstacle to planet formation by pebble-accretion. However, for accretion to be effective, the resting position of the planet has to be relatively near the ring’s center, and the ring needs to be not too far from the central star. The formation of planets in rings can explain the existence of giant planets with core masses smaller than the so-called pebble isolation mass.

Abstract:
We present the formation and evolution of a structure in particles obtained from a local N-body simulation of a dense planetary ring like Saturn's ring. Our simulations show in a particle system the spontaneous formation of a spatial structure like wakes, clumps, and a structure which could be induced by the viscous overstability. Such a formation depends on parameters characterizing a ring system: the wake is likely to form in Saturn's ring and the existence of the wake is consistent with observations. The viscous overstability would be a good candidate for the explanation of subring structures in the ring.

Abstract:
Macrocycles, compounds containing a ring of 12 or more atoms, find use in human medicine, fragrances, and biological ion sensing. The efficient preparation of macrocycles is a fundamental challenge in synthetic organic chemistry because the high entropic cost of large-ring closure allows undesired intermolecular reactions to compete. Here, we present a bioinspired strategy for macrocycle formation through carbon–carbon bond formation. The process relies on a catalytic oligomer containing α- and β-amino acid residues to template the ring-closing process. The α/β-peptide foldamer adopts a helical conformation that displays a catalytic primary amine–secondary amine diad in a specific three-dimensional arrangement. This catalyst promotes aldol reactions that form rings containing 14 to 22 atoms. Utility is demonstrated in the synthesis of the natural product robustol.

Abstract:
Direct numerical simulation is used to study the mixing of a passive scalar by a vortex ring issuing from a nozzle into stationary fluid. The ‘formation number’ (Gharibet al. J. Fluid Mech.vol. 360, 1998, p. 121), is found to be 3.6. Simulations are performed for a range of stroke ratios (ratio of stroke length to nozzle exit diameter) encompassing the formation number, and the effect of stroke ratio on entrainment and mixing is examined. When the stroke ratio is greater than the formation number, the resulting vortex ring with trailing column of fluid is shown to be less effective at mixing and entrainment. As the ring forms, ambient fluid is entrained radially into the ring from the region outside the nozzle exit. This entrainment stops once the ring forms, and is absent in the trailing column. The rate of change of scalar-containing fluid is found to depend linearly on stroke ratio until the formation number is reached, and falls below the linear curve for stroke ratios greater than the formation number. This behaviour is explained by considering the entrainment to be a combination of that due to the leading vortex ring and that due to the trailing column. For stroke ratios less than the formation number, the trailing column is absent, and the size of the vortex ring increases with stroke ratio, resulting in increased mixing. For stroke ratios above the formation number, the leading vortex ring remains the same, and the length of the trailing column increases with stroke ratio. The overall entrainment decreases as a result.

Abstract:
In anaphase, microtubules provide a specification signal for positioning of the contractile ring. However, the nature of the signal remains unknown. The small GTPase Rho is a potent regulator of cytokinesis, but the involvement of Rho in contractile ring formation is disputed. Here, we show that Rho serves as a microtubule-dependent signal that specifies the position of the contractile ring. We found that Rho translocates to the equatorial region before furrow ingression. The Rho-specific inhibitor C3 exoenzyme and small interfering RNA to the Rho GDP/GTP exchange factor ECT2 prevent this translocation and disrupt contractile ring formation, indicating that active Rho is required for contractile ring formation. ECT2 forms a complex with the GTPase-activating protein MgcRacGAP and the kinesinlike protein MKLP1 at the central spindle, and the localization of ECT2 at the central spindle depends on MgcRacGAP and MKLP1. In addition, we show that the bundled microtubules direct Rho-mediated signaling molecules to the furrowing site and regulate furrow formation. Our study provides strong evidence for the requirement of Rho-mediated signaling in contractile ring formation.

Abstract:
Density functional calculations were performed on a model system of squalene oxide to study the mechanism of the formation of ring A in the biosynthesis of lanosterol from squalene. When (2Z)-6,7-epoxy-3,7-dimethyloct-2-ene was protonated, it was calculated to undergo a very facile ring opening of the oxirane in concert with the formation of the six-membered ring of the 4-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2,3,3-tetramethy1cyclohexyl cation. A study of the reaction pathway (IRC) indicates a very early transition structure in which the carbon- carbon double bond participates anchimerically in the ring-opening of the protonated oxirane. It is suggested that the primary role of the enzyme in this first step of the biosynthesis of lanosterol is protonation of the oxirane ring along with holding the substrate in the proper conformation for the concerted ring-closure to occur. The similarity between this mechanism and that recently proposed for concerted C-ring expansion and D-ring formation in the biosynthesis of lanosterol is discussed.

Abstract:
Rho-dependent proteins control assembly of the cytokinetic contractile ring, yet it remains unclear how those proteins guide ring closure and how they promote subsequent formation of a stable midbody ring. Citron kinase is one important component required for midbody ring formation but its mechanisms of action and relationship with Rho are controversial. Here, we conduct a structure–function analysis of the Drosophila Citron kinase, Sticky, in Schneider’s S2 cells. We define two separable and redundant RhoGEF/Pebble-dependent inputs into Sticky recruitment to the nascent midbody ring and show that each input is subsequently required for retention at, and for the integrity of, the mature midbody ring. The first input is via an actomyosin-independent interaction between Sticky and Anillin, a key scaffold also required for midbody ring formation. The second input requires the Rho-binding domain of Sticky, whose boundaries we have defined. Collectively, these results show how midbody ring biogenesis depends on the coordinated actions of Sticky, Anillin, and Rho.

Abstract:
Cells of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe divide by the contraction of the F-actin ring formed at the medial region of the cell. We investigated the process of F-actin ring formation in detail using optical sectioning and three-dimensional reconstruction fluorescence microscopy. In wild-type cells, formation of an aster-like structure composed of F-actin cables and accumulation of F-actin cables were recognized at the medial cortex of the cell during prophase to metaphase. The formation of the aster-like structure seemed to initiate from branching of the longitudinal F-actin cables at a site near the spindle pole bodies, which had been duplicated but not yet separated. A single cable extended from the aster and encircled the cell at the equator to form a primary F-actin ring during metaphase. During anaphase,the accumulated F-actin cables were linked to the primary F-actin ring, and then all of these structures seemed to be packed to form the F-actin ring. These observations suggest that formation of the aster-like structure and the accumulation of the F-actin cables at the medial region of the cell during metaphase may be required to initiate the F-actin ring formation. In the nda3 mutant, which has a mutation in ß-tubulin and has been thought to be arrested at prophase, an F-actin ring with accumulated F-actin cables similar to that of anaphase wild-type cells was formed at a restrictive temperature. Immediately after shifting to a permissive temperature, this structure changed into a tightly packed ring. This suggests that the F-actin ring formation progresses beyond prophase in the nda3 cells once the cells enter prophase. We further examined F-actin structures in both cdc12 and cdc15 early cytokinesis mutants. As a result,Cdc12 seemed to be required for the primary F-actin ring formation during prophase, whereas Cdc15 may be involved in both packing the F-actin cables to form the F-actin ring and rearrangement of the F-actin after anaphase. In spg1, cdc7 and sid2 septum initiation mutants, the F-actin ring seemed to be formed in order.
