There have been several surprising developments in our understanding of symbiotic binary stars and nova eruptions over the last decade or so based on multiwavelength data. For example, symbiotic stars without shell burning on their white dwarfs have been revealed through their X-ray emission, UV excess, and UV variability. These purely accretion powered symbiotic stars have much weaker optical emission lines than those with shell burning, and are therefore harder to discover. Yet they may be as numerous as symbiotic stars with shell burning. Interestingly, both types of symbiotic stars are capable of driving strong outflows, leading to colliding wind X-ray emission and spatially resolved jets. For nova eruptions, the most surprising discovery has been that they are capable of particle acceleration as evidenced by Fermi detection of novae as transient GeV gamma-ray sources. For nova eruptions in cataclysmic variables, this implicates internal shocks, between a slow, dense outflow and a fast outflow or wind. Other signatures of shocks include thermal X-rays and non-thermal radio emissions, and a substantial fraction of optical emission may be shock-powered in the early phase of novae. Radio (V959 Mon) and HST (V959 Mon and T Pyx) images of nova shells within a few years of their respective eruptions suggest that the ejecta from a nova may commonly consist of an equatorial ring and a bipolar outflow.

This is a survey on recent developments in Ricci flows.
Over the last years, analyses performed on a stochastic model of catalytic reaction networks have provided some indications about the reasons why wet-lab experiments hardly ever comply with the phase transition typically predicted by theoretical mode
ls with regard to the emergence of collectively self-replicating sets of molecule (also defined as autocatalytic sets, ACSs), a phenomenon that is often observed in nature and that is supposed to have played a major role in the emergence of the primitive forms of life. The model at issue has allowed to reveal that the emerging ACSs are characterized by a general dynamical fragility, which might explain the difficulty to observe them in lab experiments. In this work, the main results of the various analyses are reviewed, with particular regard to the factors able to affect the generic properties of catalytic reactions network, for what concerns, not only the probability of ACSs to be observed, but also the overall activity of the system, in terms of production of new species, reactions and matter.
This short survey contains some recent developments of the algebraic theory of racks and quandles. We report on some elements of representation theory of quandles and ring theoretic approach to quandles.
In this talk we introduce the main features of a QCD-based model in which the coupling $alpha_{s}$ is constrained by an infrared mass scale. We show recent applications of this model to hadron-hadron collisions, gap survival probability calculations,
and soft gluon resummation techniques. These results indicate a smooth transition from non-perturbative to perturbative behaviour of the QCD.
T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova known to exhibit active phases, characterised by apparent increases in the hot component temperature and the appearance of flickering, i.e. changes in the observed flux on the time-scale of minutes. Historical UV o
bservations have ruled out orbital variability as an explanation for flickering and instead suggest flickering is caused by variable mass transfer. We have analysed optical and X-ray observations to investigate the nature of the flickering as well as the active phases in T CrB. The spectroscopic and photometric observations confirm that the active phases follow two periods of ~1000d and ~5000d. Flickering in the X-rays is detected and follows an amplitude-flux relationship similar to that observed in the optical. The flickering is most prominent at harder X-ray energies, suggesting that it originates in the boundary layer between the accretion disc and the white dwarf. The X-ray radiation from the boundary layer is then reprocessed by a thick accretion disc or a nebula into UV radiation. A more detailed understanding of flickering would benefit from long-term simultaneous X-ray and optical monitoring of the phenomena in symbiotic recurrent novae and related systems such as Z And type symbiotic stars.
