The isolated neutron star candidate RBS 1223 was observed with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer aboard the Chandra X-ray observatory on 2000 June 24. A timing analysis of the data yielded a periodic modulation with a period P = 5.1571696

A patient with Marfan syndrome was shown to be heterozygous for a G to A transition at nucleotide 3952 of the FBNI gene. This would result in a cysteine to tyrosine substitution at amino acid 1223 in the fibrillin protein.

We report Very Large Telescope observations of 11 lensed quasars, designed to measure the redshifts of their lens galaxies. We successfully determined the redshifts for seven systems, five of which were previously unknown. The securely measured redshifts for the lensing galaxies are: HE0047−1756 z = 0.408; PMNJ0134−0931 z = 0.766; HE0230−2130 z = 0.522; HE0435−1223 z = 0.455; SDSS0924+021 z = 0...

After a detailed characterization of the (Hg,Re)-1223 polycrystalline samples, the pseudogap temperature T ∗, fluctuation temperature Tscf and the superconducting critical temperature Tc have been systematically studied through electrical resistivity ρ measurements by several different current densities. Performing many set of measurements with different current densities we show that, while lo...

MIXTURE OF GAUSSIANS Parham Zolfaghari and Tony Robinson Cambridge University Engineering Department, Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1PZ, UK. Tel: [+44] 1223 332754 Fax: [+44] 1223 332662 email : psz1000,[email protected] ABSTRACT This paper describes a low bit-rate segmental formant vocoder. The formants are estimated using mixture of Gaussians whose means are constrained to vary linearly w...

We describe a number of replication algorithms in a unified model based on actions and constraints. Applications submit actions (operations) to be executed and arbitrary constraints on those actions; object invariants are also expressed as constraints; and replication protocols impose further constraints. Any given site executes the actions it knows according to a schedule that satisfies the co...

The redshift of the galaxy lensing HE 0435−1223 is 0.4546 ± 0.0002, based on observations obtained with the Low Dispersion Survey Spectrograph 2 (LDSS2) on the Magellan Consortium’s 6.5 m Clay telescope. Hubble Space Telescope/ACS observations of the system also reveal a spiral-rich group of 10 galaxies within 40 of the elliptical lensing galaxy. The redshifts for two of these galaxies were mea...
