We present TAURUS Fabry-Perot velocity data in Hα emission of the disc of the grand design spiral M 100 (NGC 4321). We have studied the emission spectra of the 200 H ii regions most luminous in Hα, calibrated in luminosity using photometric Hα imaging from the literature. The emission spectra of individual H ii regions were fitted using one or more Gaussian functions, and analyzed in terms of t...

The radial distributions of the Mg2 and Fe5270 Lick spectral indices have been measured to large radial distances on the disks of NGC 4303 and NGC 4535 using an imaging technique based on interference filters. These data, added to those of NGC 4321 previously published in Paper I of this series are used to constraint chemical (multiphase) evolutionary models for these galaxies. Because the inte...

Bladder cancer (BLCA) is one of the most malignant cancers worldwide, and its prognosis varies. 1214 BLCA samples in five different datasets and 2 platforms were enrolled in this study. By utilizing the gene expression in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, and another two datasets, in GSE13507 and GSE31684, we constructed a risk score staging system with Cox multivariate regression to eval...

The relevance of the Tremaine-Weinberg (TW) method is tested to measure the bar, spiral and inner structure pattern speeds using a gaseous velocity field. The TW method is applied to
