The Non-Slee** Universe
Proceedings of two conferences on: ‘Stars and the ISM’ held from 24–26 November 1997 and on: ‘From Galaxies to the Horizon’ held from 27–29 November, 1997 at the Centre for Astrophysics of the University of Porto, Portugal

L’interprétation de l’état acidobasique peut se faire par deux approches : classique, centrée sur le bicarbonate, ou moderne ou approche de Stewart, dans laquelle le bicarbonate est considéré comme une variabl...

Aortic stiffness evaluation is recommended in standard care as hypertension target organ damage. The main determinants of aortic stiffness are age and blood pressure. We aimed to evaluate the impact of short-t...

The coastal marine area constitutes one of humanity’s most important food baskets. However, food production must compete with other uses of scarce coastal resources, demanding high-stakes tradeoffs. This paper...

A 23-year-old man presented with osteoporosis, revealed by femoral fractures, and a history of nephrolithiasis, short stature, metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia and ovalocytosis, a red blood cell abnormality com...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Supernovae have provided the evidence for the existence of a dominant dark energy component of the Universe. The commonly accepted form of such a component is the quintessence. Here, we show that the possible ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We present the preliminary results of the Ω project, a large XMM program devoted to observe distant SHARC clusters. For the first time a measurement of the L - T evolution with XMM is presented. We found clear ev...

Building cosmological models is a very old human activity. Clearly, it seems that any society has its own representation of both the history and the geography of the world. Therefore, Cosmology is one of the ...

Chapter and Conference Paper
The detection of the fluctuations in the CMB by COBE has opened a new area of modern cosmology. The angular spectrum of these fluctuations potentially carries a lot of information, allowing for the possibility...
Chapter and Conference Paper
As the largest virialized systems in the Universe, clusters of galaxies can be used as probes of the cosmological parameters. In fact, the evolution of the number of cluster of galaxies strongly depends on Ω0:...

The ESO Slice Project (ESP) is a galaxy redshift survey we have recently completed as an ESO Key-Project over about 30 square degrees, in a region near the South Galactic Pole (Vettolani et al., submitted to A&A)...
Chapter
The ESO Slice Project (ESP) is a galaxy redshift survey nearly complete to the limiting magnitude b j = 19.4 and consists of 3342 galaxies with reliable redshift deter...
Chapter and Conference Paper
An unbiased and detailed characterization of the luminosity function of field galaxies is a basic requirement in many extragalactic problems. Although several determinations of this function are already availa...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The ESO Slice Project (ESP) is a galaxy redshift survey we have recently completed as an ESO Key-Project over about 24 square degrees, in a region near the South Galactic Pole. The survey is nearly complete to...

Knowledge of the tertiary structure of myelin basic protein (MBP) is essential to understanding the organi sation of the myelin membrane and the mechanisms of development of autoimmunity in mult iple sclerosis...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We present preliminary results of a galaxy redshift survey we are accomplishing as an ESO Key Project over about 40 square degrees in a region near the South Galactic Pole, to a limiting magnitude b ...
