A value of the Hubble constant has been determined from a comparison of the X-ray properties and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect of the distant rich cluster of galaxies CL 0016+16. The cluster, as imaged by the ROSAT PSPC, is significantly elliptical and we present the techniques we have developed to include this in our analysis. Assuming a smooth, isothermal gas distribution, we obtain a value H0 = ...

20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) has been implicated as a potential mediator in epithelial cell proliferation and cyst formation in polycystic kidney disease (PKD). In the present study, we studied the effects of chronic blockade of 20-HETE synthesis in an orthologous rodent model of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), the PCK rat. RT-PCR analysis indicated that the ...

Aerosonde is a small autonomous aircraft (UAV) designed for meteorological sampling along a specified flight plan. This aircraft is currently being used by the Flight Systems Laboratory at the University of Washington as a test-bed for the development of a rapid control-law prototyping platform based on Matlab/Simulink/Real-Time Workshop environment. To accurately track a set of pre-planned fli...

We present X-ray data on the distant cluster Cl0016+16 (z=0.5545) from ROSAT PSPC and HRI observations and use them to study the physics of the intracluster medium (ICM) and the dynamical state of the cluster. The surface brightness distribution is not only described by a spherically symmetric model but also by a twodimensional β-model fit. Subtracting an elliptical model cluster as defined by ...
