Lyα absorber correlations contain information about the underlying density distribution associated with a particular class of absorbers. As such, they provide an opportunity to independently measure the “bias” of the Lyman alpha forest, i.e. the relationship between H I column density and underlying dark matter density. In these proceedings we use hydrodynamic simulations to investigate whether...

Hemi-spatial neglect can manifest in both the horizontal and radial spatial plane. However, debate exists over how closely the two forms of neglect relate. Here we compared the ability of a neglect patient to bisect stimuli in horizontal versus radial orientation. When oriented horizontally, single lines were mis-bisected to the right, yet when surrounded by visual distracters, the lines were m...

the antidiabetic activity of balanites roxburghii was carried out in normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats. oral administration of methanolic extract of kernals (0.1 and 0.3g/kg body weight) significantly lowered the blood glucose levels. the activity can be attributed to reducing the intestinal absorption of glucose. the activity reported was dose-dependent.

Metal-semiconductor-metal Si waveguide photodetectors are demonstrated with responsivities of greater than 0.5 A/W at a wavelength of 1550 nm for a device length of 1mm. Sub-bandgap absorption in the Si waveguide is achieved by creating divacancy lattice defects via Si(+) ion implantation. The modal absorption coefficient of the ion-implanted Si waveguide is measured to be ≈ 185 dB/cm, resultin...
