We highlight some results from disk galaxy evolution models conceived within a cosmological context. When disk mergers and strong disk-halo feedback are omitted, several properties and correlations of disk galaxies seem to be related to initial conditions given by the CDM model. •Motivation. The inflation-inspired cold dark matter (CDM) hierarchical model has provided an invaluable theoretical ...

Retinal vascular disorders are a leading cause ofhuman visual impairment. It is only within the past decade, however, that methodologies such as fluorescein angiography (Novotny and Alvis, I96I) and retinal digestion (Kuwabara and Cogan, I960) have been developed which permit us accurately to delineate the various features of retinal vascular disease. We must remember that retinal vascular resp...
