We present a statistical analysis comparing the bulk–flow measurements for six recent peculiar velocity surveys, namely, ENEAR, SFI, RFGC, SBF and the Mark III singles and group catalogs. We study whether the bulk–flow estimates are consistent with each other and construct the full three dimensional bulk– flow vectors. The method we discuss could be used to test the consistency of all velocity ...

the term “serological epidemiology” is based to describe a method which has unique applications in comparing the immunologic status and health experiences of various populations, especially among populations for which morbidity data and vital statistics are scanty or completely lacking, or for inaccessible areas where the collection of serum is made with difficulty. serologic and hematological ...

In this short survey of the applications of wide-field, multi-object spectroscopy to galaxy evolution, large-scale structure and cosmology, I interleave summaries of the general goals and state of play in these fields with specific examples based on my own recent work. I first briefly review the goals and figures of merit for current and future redshift surveys, before examining some recent res...
