We present full sky microwave maps in five frequency bands (23 to 94 GHz) from the WMAP first year sky survey. Calibration errors are <0.5% and the low systematic error level is well specified. The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is separated from the foregrounds using multifrequency data. The sky maps are consistent with the 7◦ full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) Cosmic Background Explorer (CO...

Endothelial cells (ECs) are an important component involved in the angiogenesis. Little is known about the global gene expression and epigenetic regulation in tumor endothelial cells. The identification of gene expression and epigenetic difference between human prostate tumor-derived endothelial cells (TdECs) and those in normal tissues may uncover unique biological features of TdEC and facilit...

The short range molecular structure of ogarose in the sol state and r-carrageenans in the gel state have been investigated by small-angle neutron scattering (0.1< q(nm'l) < 2.5). Agarose in the sol state possesses a rod-like conformation (minimum persistence length of 14 nm) with a mass per unit length consistent with a single helm The existence of a double helix in the gel state is accordingly...

Feasibility of ionic liquids as liquid thermal storage media and heat transfer fluids in a solar thermal power plant was investigated. Many ionic liquids such as [C4min][PF6], [C8mim][PF6], [C4min][bistrifluromethane sulflonimide], [C4min][BF4], [C8mim][BF4], and [C4min][ bistrifluromethane sulflonimide] were synthesized and characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential sca...

Time for a Change For many years, the U.S. system of gear accuracy tolerances has been provided by AGMA 2000-A88, Gear Classification and Inspection Handbook. This document has been commonly used for gear accuracy specifications in contractual agreements for vendor-supplied gears. Also, it has often been used as the basis of internal company gear tolerance systems. The material within AGMA 2000...

Ideal hydroynamics provides an excellent description of all aspects of the single-particle spectra of all hadrons with transverse momenta below about 1.5-2 GeV/c at RHIC. This is shown to require rapid local thermalization at a time scale below 1 fm/c and at energy densities which exceed the critical value for color deconfinement by an order of magnitude. The only known thermalized state at suc...

The rapid follow-up of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows made possible by the multiwavelength satellite Swift, launched in November 2004, has put under a microscope the GRB early post-burst behavior, This is leading to a significant reappraisal and expansion of the standard view of the GRB early afterglow behavior, and its connection to the prompt gamma-ray emission. In addition to opening up th...
