Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy
A popular (well at least popular with me) TV show concerns two 'mad' scientists who love nothing more than to explode urban myths. For instance they have investigated the possibility of death by urinating on a live railway line! We could do with something similar in finance. We have a bad habit of accepting theories as fact within finance, of accepting statements as if they were truths. Even wh...
متن کاملCepheid Standard Candles
Thanks to HST, there are now many galaxies with Cepheid distances and these provide the main platform for the calibration of the secondary distance indicators. I review recent progress in our understanding of the standard candle properties of Cepheids with particular emphasis on the techniques used in the HST studies. The PL relation defined by Cepheids in the LMC is shown to be excellent, alth...
متن کاملExpression and purification of beefy meaty peptide in Pichia pastoris
−We established a gene expression process to produce a flavor peptide in Pichia pastoris. The octapeptide Lys-Gly-Asp-Glu-Glu-Ser-Leu-Ala was isolated from beef digested by papain, known as “beefy meaty peptide” (BMP). It was considered a savory seasoning in previous literatures. To produce BMP by microorganisms, BMP expression structures encoding tandem repeats of the octapeptide were designed...
متن کاملPulsars as Standard Candles
To illustrate the standard candle property of gamma-ray pulsars (and also to thereby confirm the recent first-principle calculation of pulsar gamma-ray emission), we “measure”, via the lightcurve fitting, three distances and one moment of inertia of some weak pulsars. We are not sure what the three distances are good for, but the measurement of the moment of inertia must be of interest for nucl...
متن کاملType II Supernovae as Standardized Candles
We present evidence for a correlation between expansion velocities of the ejecta of Type II plateau supernovae and their bolometric luminosities during the plateau phase. This correlation permits one to standardize the candles and decrease the scatter in the Hubble diagram from ∼1 mag to a level of 0.4 and 0.3 mag in the V and I bands, respectively. When we restrict the sample to the eight obje...
