Peculiar velocities induce apparent line of sight displacements of galaxies in redshift space, distorting the pattern of clustering. On large scales, the amplitude of the distortion yields a measure of the dimensionless linear growth rate β ≈ Ω/b of fluctuations, where Ω if the cosmological density and b is the bias factor. To make the maximum statistical use of the data in a wide-angle redshif...

conclusions by using the normal angle kappa determined in this study, pseudodeviations can be identified more precisely in those who might undergo keratorefractive surgery. results a total of 977 healthy participants who aged 18 to 45 years were included consecutively. the study population consisted of 614 females and 363 males. the average angle kappa was 5.00º ± 1.36º at 240.21º ± 97.17º in m...

the grace mission has provided scientific community time-variable gravity field solutions with high precision and on a global scale. the grace mission was launched on march 2003. this mission consists of two satellites that pursue each other in their orbit. distance between two satellites in orbit is measured continuously to an accuracy of better than 1 micron using kbr system placed in satelli...

We discuss intermediate-energy single-nucleon removal reactions from deformed projectile nuclei. The removed nucleon is assumed to originate from a given Nilsson model single-particle state and the inclusive cross sections, to all rotational states of the residual nucleus, are calculated. We investigate the sensitivity of both the stripping cross sections and their momentum distributions to the...
