Methods A cohort of 52 adults (aged 35.7 years, 46% men, 23 born after steroid treatment) and their term-born children (n=61, aged 8.0 years, 52% boys, 49% from a parent born after steroid treatment), was recruited in Auckland. Insulin sensitivity and secretion were assessed using hyperglycaemic clamps in adults, and HOMA-IR in children. Other assessments included DXA-derived body composition, ...

Neutral atom imaging of the interstellar gas flow in the inner heliosphere provides the most detailed information on physical conditions of the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM) and its interaction with the heliosphere. The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) measured neutral H, He, O, and Ne for three years. We compare the He and combined O + Ne flow distributions for two interstellar fl...

We present the second portion of an unbiased survey of the Galactic plane for 6668MHz methanol masers. This section of the survey spans the longitude range 6◦ to 20◦. We report the detection of 119 maser sources, of which 42 are new discoveries. The masers are tightly constrained to the Galactic plane, with only four outside a latitude range of ±1◦. This longitude region includes the brightest ...

We present an analysis of a sequence of light curves of the RS CVn-type binary II Pegasi extending from 1974 to 1998. The distribution of the spotted area versus longitude is derived by Maximum Entropy and Tikhonov regularized maps, assuming a constant spot temperature (Lanza et al. 1998a). The spot pattern on the active K2 IV star can be subdivided into a component uniformly distributed in lon...
