Summary
Over the last quarter-century, the relations between Australia and Latin America, while not intense, clearly have thickened and deepened. And the pace of this thickening and deepening is quickening. The most obvious manifestation is in the economic realm, in trade and investment. But our research indicates that in more obscure areas, such as cultural exchange, education, and environmental issues, much is happening and there is every reason to expect that the contact will expand. That said, any informed observer of Australia’s relations with Latin America would be struck by how little each knows about the other, how recent and relatively superficial the contacts are, and consequently how tenuous they could remain unless both the Australians and the Latin Americans invest further substantial effort. This effort cannot be limited to the material – trade and investment – but must include education at all levels to overcome the barriers of language and culture, of limited transport, of competing economies, of stereotypes.

Political Behavior is the official journal of the Elections, Public Opinion, and Voting Behavior organized section of the American Political Science Association. It publishes research on the political behavior of citizens, political activists, and political officeholders in the United States and around the world. From the perspective of its Journal Impact Factor, the journal’s reputation and impact have grown steadily in recent years. The first and last listed authors of this article served as co-editors-in-chief of Political Behavior from 2019 through 2022. The middle three listed authors served as editorial assistants during this same period.

Summary
Contemporary interdependence perspectives posit that intimates are more likely to remain in a relationship to the extent that they are committed to that relationship, and that they tend to be more committed to the extent that they a) are currently satisfied with the relationship, b) believe they do not currently have more desirable alternatives to the relationship, and c) have previously invested resources into the relationship. At times, though, intimates may expect that their relationship satisfaction, alternatives, and investments will increase or decrease in the future, and research on decision-making suggests that such expectations may determine their relationship commitment more than their current or past experiences do. In this chapter, we first identify factors (e.g., plans to improve the relationship, personality, gender) that may cause intimates’ expected experiences to diverge from their current experiences. Next, we review theoretical and empirical work suggesting that intimates’ relationship commitment should be determined more by their expected experiences than by their current or past experiences. Finally, we introduce a new measure of expected relationship satisfaction, alternatives, and investments designed for future research into these ideas.

The Dark Energy Survey is undertaking an observational programme imaging 1/4 of the southern hemisphere sky with unprecedented photometric accuracy. In the process of observing millions of faint stars and galaxies to constrain the parameters of the dark energy equation of state, the Dark Energy Survey will obtain pre-discovery images of the regions surrounding an estimated 100 gamma-ray bursts over 5 yr. Once gamma-ray bursts are detected by, e.g., the Swift satellite, the DES data will be extremely useful for follow-up observations by the transient astronomy community. We describe a recently-commissioned suite of software that listens continuously for automated notices of gamma-ray burst activity, collates information from archival DES data, and disseminates relevant data products back to the community in near-real-time. Of particular importance are the opportunities that non-public DES data provide for relative photometry of the optical counterparts of gamma-ray bursts, as well as for identifying key characteristics (e.g., photometric redshifts) of potential gamma-ray burst host galaxies. We provide the functional details of the DESAlert software, and its data products, and we show sample results from the application of DESAlert to numerous previously detected gamma-ray bursts, including the possible identification of several heretofore unknown gamma-ray burst hosts.

The role of thermal contraction crack polygons in cold-desert fluvial systems

Thermal contraction crack polygons modify the generation, transport, and storage of water in Wright Valley gullies. Water generation is contributed to by trapping of windblown snow in polygon troughs. Water transport is modified by changes to the ice-cement table and active layer topography caused by polygon trough formation. Water storage is modified by sediment grain-size distribution within polygons in gully distal hyporheic zones. Patterned ground morphological variation can serve as an indicator of fluvial modification, ranging from nearly unmodified composite-wedge polygons to polygons forming in association with gully channels. Thermal contraction crack polygons may also constrain the gully formation sequence, suggesting the continuous presence of permafrost beneath the Wright Valley gullies during the entire period of gully emplacement. This analysis provides a framework for understanding the relationships between polygons and gullies observed on Mars. If comparable stratigraphic relationships can be documented, the presence of an analogous impermeable ice-cemented layer beneath the gullies can be inferred, suggesting an atmospheric source for Martian gully-carving fluids.
Distribution and origin of patterned ground on Mullins Valley debris-covered glacier, Antarctica: the roles of ice flow and sublimation

We map polygonally patterned ground formed in sublimation tills that overlie debris-covered glaciers in Mullins Valley and central Beacon Valley, in southern Victoria Land, Antarctica, and distinguish five morphological zones. Where the Mullins Valley debris-covered glacier debouches into Beacon Valley, polygonal patterning transitions from radial (orthogonal) intersections to non-oriented (hexagonal) intersections, providing a time-series of polygon evolution within a single microclimate. We offer the following model for polygon formation and evolution in the Mullins Valley system. Near-vertical cracks that ultimately outline polygons are produced by thermal contraction in the glacier ice. Some of these cracks may initially be oriented radial to maximum surface velocities by pre-existing structural stresses and material weaknesses in the glacier ice. In areas of relatively rapid flow, polygons are oriented down-valley forming an overall fan pattern radial to maximum ice velocity. As glacier flow moves the cracks down-valley, minor variations in flow rate deform polygons, giving rise to deformed radial polygons. Non-oriented (largely hexagonal) polygons commonly form in regions of stagnant and/or near-stagnant ice. We propose that orientation and morphology of contraction-crack polygons in sublimation tills can thus be used as an indicator of rates of subsurface ice flow.

The transition metal sulfide clusters (MeCp)2Mo2(μ-SH)2(μ-S)2, (MeCp)2Mo2Co2(μ3-S)2(μ4-S)(CO)4 [MoCoS], and (MeCp)2Mo2 Fe2 (μ3-S)2(CO)8, (MeCp = methylcyclopentadienyl) were used to prepare γ-Al2O3-supported catalysts. For comparison, a series of supported materials was also prepared using conventional incipient wetness impregnation. Infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed species was used to characterize the sites in the clusterderived and conventionally prepared catalysts. Nitric oxide chemisorbed onto the MoCoS/A catalyst was associated initially only with Co sites and then upon gentle heating shifted to the Mo sites, indicating that Co and Mo were in close proximity. In contrast, NO adsorbed onto both Co and Mo sites in the conventionally prepared materials and desorbed independently from these two types of sites. Infrared spectra of adsorbed thiophene and pyridine were similar for the clusterderived and conventionally prepared catalysts. Thiophene reacted at 100 °C to produce both olefinic species. The most abundant products from thiophene HDS were 1-butene, cis-2-butene, and trans-2-butene. Displacement studies showed that thiophene, pyridine, and NO adsorbed to the same site. The most active sites for HDS and HDN contained both Mo and a late transition metal. The HDN product distributions suggested that Mo was selective for C=N bond cleavage while the late transition metals were more active for C=C hydrogenolysis.
