We generate the peculiar velocity field for the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS) catalog (Huchra et al. 2005) using an orbit-reconstruction algorithm. The reconstructed velocities of individual objects in 2MRS are well-correlated with the peculiar velocities obtained from high-precision observed distances within 3,000 km s. We estimate the mean matter density to be Ωm = 0.31±0.05 by comparing obser...

We study the formation of galaxies in a large volume (50h Mpc, 2 × 288 particles) cosmological simulation, evolved using the entropy and energy conserving smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code GADGET-2. Most of the baryonic mass in galaxies of all masses is originally acquired through filamentary “cold mode” accretion of gas that was never shock heated to its halo virial temperature, confi...

Clara cells are involved in the cytochrome P-450-dependent metabolism of certain lung toxins, e.g. ipomeanol [I], but studies have mainly been on their action on whole lung tissue. Attempts to isolate Clara and other lung cells have in the past produced only partial enrichment owing to the limitations of purification by density gradients and centrifugal elutriation [2, 31, although, more recent...

Series production of R134a compressors started in 1990. 200 compressors, from the very first series, were built into cabinets placed in an apartment house in Denmark. Cabinets with R12 compressors were placed in the same apartment house as well. The cabinets have two separate cooling systems; one for a cold cabinet and one for a freezer. 10 running cabinets were called back for analysis; 7 cabi...

One of the main signatures of primordial non-Gaussianity of the local type is a scale-dependent correction to the bias of large-scale structure tracers such as galaxies or clusters, whose amplitude depends on the bias of the tracers itself. The dominant source of noise in the power spectrum of the tracers is caused by sampling variance on large scales (where the non-Gaussian signal is strongest...

Using an analytic model we show that the predictions of the cosmic string model for the peculiar velocities and the microwave background (MBR) anisotropy depend on similar combinations of string evolution parameters. Normalizing from the COBE detection of MBR anisotropy, and for certain reasonable values of string network evolution parameters, we find that the magnitude of predicted velocity fl...

The cooling of baryons in the centers of dark matter halos leads to a more concentrated dark matter distribution. This effect has traditionally been calculated using the model of adiabatic contraction, which assumes spherical symmetry, while in hierarchical formation scenarios halos grow via multiple violent mergers. We test the adiabatic contraction model in high-resolution cosmological simula...

Ien resins, each with two replicates, were formulated from soy flour hydrolyzates and prepared with two hydrolyzation variables: phenol-to-soy flour ratios (w/w) of 4/4,3/4,2/4, l/4, and O/4 and sodium hydroxide-to-soy flour ratios (w/w) of 0.39 and 0.78. In addition, two commercially available phenol formaldehyde (PF) resins were used in the study as controls. The most ‘interesting result in t...

The consistency level of ΛCDM with geometrical data probes has been increasing with time during the last decade. Despite of these successes, there are some puzzling conflicts between ΛCDM predictions and dynamical data probes (bulk flows, alignment and magnitude of low CMB multipoles, alignment of quasar optical polarization vectors, cluster halo profiles). Most of these puzzles are related to ...

M A T E R I A L S AND M E T H O D S The growth-inhibitory effects of ketoconazole, an antifungal agent which inhibits arachid0nic acid iip0xygenases and cyt0chr0me P-450 enzymes, were tested in human colon and breast cancer cell lines. In the serum independent HT29-S-B6 colon cell clone, ketoconazole reduced cell proliferation and [3H]thymidine incorporation in a dose-dependent fashion, with a ...
