The X-ray luminosity-mass relation for local clusters of galaxies
(Univ Chicago Press, 2006-09-10)
We investigate the relationship between soft X-ray luminosity and mass for low-redshift clusters of galaxies by comparing observed number counts and scaling laws to halo-based expectations of Lambda CDM cosmologies. We ...
Future evolution of cosmic structure in an accelerating universe
(Univ Chicago Press, 2003-10-20)
Current cosmological data indicate that our universe contains a substantial component of dark vacuum energy that is driving the cosmos to accelerate. We examine the immediate and longer term consequences of this dark energy ...
Dual black holes in merger remnants – I. Linking accretion to dynamics
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009-07-01)
We study the orbital evolution and accretion history of massive black hole (MBH) pairs in rotationally supported circumnuclear discs up to the point where MBHs form binary systems. Our simulations have high resolution in ...
The Impact of Molecular Complexation on Intestinal Membrane Permeation.
(2009)
This dissertation focuses on the impact of molecular complexation on intestinal membrane permeation. Two cases in which molecular complexation in solution affects intestinal membrane transport are considered: 1) enhancement ...
