Primordial non-Gaussianity is a crucial test of inflationary cosmology. We consider the impact of non-Gaussianity on the ionization power spectrum from 21 cm emission at the epoch of reionization. We focus on the power spectrum on large scales at redshifts of 7 to 8 and explore the expected constraint on the local non-Gaussianity parameter f(NL) for current and next-generation 21 cm experiments...

We have demonstrated quantum control of the spin-orbit interaction based on the Autler-Townes (ac-Stark) effect in a molecular system using a cw optical field. We show that the enhancement of the spin-orbit interaction between a pair of weakly interacting singlet-triplet rovibrational levels, G (1)Π(g)(v=12,J=21,f)-1 (3)Σ(g)(-)(v=1,N=21,f), separated by 750 MHz in the lithium dimer, depends on ...

— In his previous papers [19, 21, 23, 25] the author proved that in characteristic different of 2 the jacobian J(C) of a hyperelliptic curve C with equation y2 = f(x) has only trivial endomorphisms over an algebraic closure of the ground field K if the Galois group Gal(f) of the irreducible polynomial f with coefficients in K is either the full symmetric group or the alternating group on n elem...

This study examined the impact of maternal high-fructose intake and if metabolic control in the offspring could benefit from supplementing bioactive food components such as bitter melon (BM) to the maternal diet. In Expt. 1, virgin female rats received control (C), high-fructose (F; 60%), or BM-supplemented fructose (FBM; 1%) diet before conception until d 21 of lactation. Weaned male offspring...

The 7 nAChR-selective partial agonist 3-(2,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)anabaseine (GTS-21) is more efficacious and potent for rat receptors than for human 7 receptors. Four single amino acid differences exist between human and rat 7 in the agonist binding site, two in the C loop, and one each in the E and F loops. Reciprocal mutations were made in these three domains and evaluated in Xenopus laevis ...
