A 100-200 Mpc group of quasars

The Structure of the Universe on 100 Mpc Scales

Observational evidence for the presence of a preferred scale around 100 Mpc in the distribution of high-density regions in the Universe is summarised. Toy models with various degrees of regularity are analysed to understand better the observational data. Predictions of models which produce a feature on the initial power spectrum of matter are analysed and compared with new observational data on...

200 Years of Lithium and 100 Years of Organolithium Chemistry

The element lithium has been discovered 200 years ago. Due to its unique properties it has emerged to play a vital role in industry, esp. for energy storage, and lithium-based products and processes support sustainable technological developments. In addition to the many uses of lithium in its inorganic forms, lithium has a rich organometallic chemistry. The development of organometallic chemist...

In many cases economic optimal operation is the same as maximum plant throughput, which is the same as maximum flow through the bottleneck(s). This insight may greatly simplify implementation. In this paper, we consider the case where the bottlenecks may move, with parallel flows that give rise to multiple bottlenecks and with crossover flows as extra degrees of freedom. With the assumption tha...

Tissue ablation with 100-fs and 200-ps laser pulses

We used water and human skin tissue to compare the surgical potential of 100-fs and 200-ps laser pulses. For investigation of threshold behavior of 100-fs and 200-ps pulses, we use water as a model for tissue. In addition to having a lower threshold, we find that energy deposition is much more consistent with 100-fs pulses. We also compared 100-fs and 200-ps laser pulse effects on the surface a...
