ABSTRACT Among various analytic approximations for the growth of density fluctuations in the expanding Universe, Zel’dovich approximation and its extensions in Lagrangian scheme are known to be accurate even in weakly non-linear regime. The aim of this paper is to investigate the reason why these Zel’dovich-type approximations work accurately beyond the linear regime from the following two poin...

Resumen: Este trabajo analiza la validez incremental de la Inteligencia Emocional Percibida (IEP), medida por medio del cuestionario Trait Meta-Mood Scale (Salovey, Mayer, Goldman, Turvey, & Palfai, 1995), en la predicción de la satisfacción vital, después de controlar la influencia de variables clásicas relacionadas con ésta última, como la personalidad y el afecto. Para ello, una muestra espa...

Problem statement: The IGFs play an important role in regulating somatic growth according to nutritional conditions. Polymorphisms of IGF gene are reported to be significantly associated with many traits. Approach: In these study 142 samples of DNA from Zel sheep were used for detecting the polymorphisms of promoter region of the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) gene. Therefore DNA extracte...

the objective of the present study was to scan the whole genome in sheep for identifying the loci associated with wool diameter. blood samples were collected from 94 animals, consisting 47 samples per each lori-bakhtiary and zel breeds. genotyping of samples were performed using ovine 50k snp chip arrays. quality control filters were applied for the initial genotyping data and 48,056 snps belon...

calpastatin has been introduced as an effective candidate gene as regards growth efficiency and meat quality traits. throughout the present study, blood sampling as well as carcass trait measurements were performed on 74 lori-bakhtiari sheep and on 40 zel-atabay cross-breds from industrial slaughterhouses of shahrekord and gorgan cities, respectively. following dna extaction, polymerase chain r...

Configurational fluctuations of conducting polymers in solution can bring into proximity monomers which are distant from each other along the backbone. Electrons can hop between these monomers across the “bridges” so formed. We show how this can lead to (i) a collapse transition for metallic polymers, and (ii) to the observed dramatic efficiency of acceptor molecules for quenching fluorescence ...

The Sunyaev{Zel'dovich (SZ) e ect of a cluster of galaxies is usually measured after background radio sources are removed from the cluster eld. Gravitational lensing by the cluster potential leads to a systematic de cit in the residual intensity of unresolved sources behind the cluster core relative to a control eld far from the cluster center. As a result, the measured decrement in the Rayleig...
