The Stellar and Planetary Explorer (SPEX) is a mission designed to search for Earth-sized planets around Sun-like stars using precise photometry. The planets will be detected by searching for the decrease in brightness associated with transits of the planets in front of their parent stars. One of the secondary scientiic objectives of SPEX is to do asteroseismol-ogy on a number of Sun-like stars...

After recalling a few basic concepts from cosmology and string theory, I will outline the main ideas/assumptions underlying (our own group's approach to) string cosmol-ogy and show how these lead to the definition of a two-parameter family of " minimal " models. I will then briefly explain how to compute, in terms of those parameters, the spectrum of scalar, tensor and electromagnetic perturbat...

ogy as with DSPE–PEG 2000. Since the concentrations of PEG 5000 containing proteins could also be measured by Skoog’s method (13), we believe that this modified method would also work. In conclusion, a simple and direct colorimetric method, modified from Skoog’s PEG measurement method (13), for determining the amount of DSPE– PEG 2000 in buffer solutions containing blood or albumin was reported...

Any alteration in the optical homogeneity of the lens or decrease in its transparency is known as cataract. Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity was measured in both erythrocytes and lenses of study groups and control groups. The decreased activity of G6PD was observed in the study group subjects both in erythrocytes and lenses when compared with controls. These results showed that...

We have recently obtained extensive sequence information for the genomes of single-stranded (ss)RNA plant viruses that cannot be purified properly because they are too fragile or occur in too low concentrations (5,6). Randomly primed cDNAs were obtained for plusstrand RNA from minute amounts of virus particles that were immuno-captured from crude plant sap and for minus-strand RNA from denature...

Project funded by the European Community under the " Information Society Technology " Programme DBE Project (Contract no 507953) Short Description: In this report, a two coupled networks model as a simplified version of the DBE is presented. The upper layer is the business network layer and the lower layer is P2P FADA network layer. How the performance of the P2P network depends on the network ...
