Predictions for the First Parker Solar Probe Encounter

Newtonian Gravity Predictions For Gravity Probe B

Newtonian gravity and special relativity combine to produce a gravitomagnetic precession of an orbiting gyroscope that is one fourth as large as predicted by General Relativity. The geodetic effect is the same in both cases.

Chemokines and HIV: The First Close Encounter

The first “close encounter” between the fields of chemokines and HIV occurred in the late spring of 1995, when my group at NCI’s Laboratory of Tumor Cell Biology (LTCB) received from Harvard Microchemistry and Proteomics the amino acid sequences of three peptide fragments from an HPLC-purified fraction that we had submitted a few weeks earlier. The sequences showed a perfect match with the huma...

The encounter between Muslims and Buddhists in the First Three Hijri Centuries

Islam in the first three centuries of its arrival to the Indian Subcontinent experienced different periods of confrontation and collaboration with Buddhism. This article considers three main basics of Islamic-Buddhism relationships in the first three centuries of the Islamic caliphate, i.e., Islam arrival and caliphate indetermination encountering the Buddhists, economic and commercial cooperat...

Confrontation of Modified Newtonian Dynamics Predictions with Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe First Year Data

I present a model devoid of nonbaryonic cold dark matter (CDM) that provides an acceptable fit to theWilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data for the power spectrum of temperature fluctuations in the cosmic background radiation. An a priori prediction of such no-CDM models was a first-to-second peak amplitude ratio A1:2 2:4. WMAP measures A1:2 1⁄4 2:34 0:09. The baryon content is the do...
