Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is a proven tool for evaluating population structure and localizing genes for monogenic disorders. LD-based methods may also help localize genes for complex traits. We evaluated marker-marker LD using 43 microsatellite markers spanning chromosome 20 with an average density of 2.3 cM. We studied 837 individuals affected with type 2 diabetes and 386 mostly unaffected s...

We derive the cosmic star-formation history out to z = 1.3 using a sample of ∼350 radio-selected star-forming (SF) galaxies, a far larger sample than those in previous, similar studies. We attempt to differentiate between radio emission from active galactic nuclei and SF galaxies, and determine an evolving 1.4 GHz luminosity function (LF) based on these VLA-COSMOS SF galaxies. We precisely meas...

We describe the results of a mJy-sensitivity, VLA survey of roughly 1 square degree near the Galactic center at 6 and 20 cm. Catalogs of compact and filamentary structures are given and compared to previous surveys of the region. Eight of the unusual, nonthermal radio filaments are detected in 6 cm polarized emission; three of these are the first such detections, confirming their nonthermal nat...

Let (X,L) be a smooth polarized complex variety of dimension n. In this paper we identify the leading terms of the (reduced) K-energy map with the weight F1(λ) provided that (X,L) moves in a good family X f → B. Consequently, we deduce that the properness of the K-Energy map implies the K-Stability of the variety. §0 Resumé of Results Let (X, L) be a compact polarised manifold. Assume L is very...

Sensitive liquid-phase measurements have been made in a 20 cm cell using broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (BBCEAS). The cavity was formed by two high reflectivity mirrors which were in direct contact with the liquid-phase analytes. Careful choice of solvent was required to minimise the effect of background solvent absorptions. Measurements were made on the broad absorber Sudan ...

The population growth and the climate changes impose challenges to society, especially regarding food supply maintenance of desirable soil conditions. Besides, it is necessary reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Hence, there a necessity studies addressing understanding conditions under different land uses, as soils can become carbon pools or sources depending on management practices. This study wa...

We have been conducting deep searches at ∼20 cm of >30 globular clusters (GCs) using the 305-m Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico and the 100-m Green Bank telescope (GBT) in West Virginia. With roughly 80% of our search data analyzed, we have confirmed 13 new millisecond pulsars (MSPs), 12 of which are in binary systems, and at least three of which eclipse. We currently have timing solutions for ...

As part of a larger program to identify low redshift radio analogues of the damped Lyman−α (DLA) absorbers seen in the spectra of high redshift quasars, Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) observations have discovered two new HI 21cm absorption lines at z = 0.394 and z = 0.437 in the spectra of the radio sources B 0248+430 and B 1243-072 respectively. These sightlines and redshifts were...

The advent of ultra-deep X-ray surveys with telescopes such as Chandra and XMM, together with deep multi-waveband ground-based and HST imaging covering radio and optical /near-IR wavelengths, allows us to directly probe the detailed properties of the environments, host galaxies and central accretion disks of both radio-loud and radio-quiet active galaxies up to cosmological redshifts. Here we p...
