Ellipticity of Structures in CMB Sky Maps
We study the ellipticity of contour lines in the sky maps of the cosmic
microwave background (CMB) as well as other measures of elongation. The
sensitivity of the elongation on the resolution of the CMB maps which depends
on the pixelization and the beam profile of the detector, is investigated. It
is shown that the current experimental accuracy does not allow to discriminate
between cosmological models which differ in curvature by Delta Omega_tot=0.05.
Analytical expressions are given for the case that the statistical properties
of the CMB are those of two-dimensional Gaussian random fields
Induced tungsten melting events in the divertor of ASDEX Upgrade and their influence on plasma performance
Pilomyxoid astrocytoma of the spinal cord in an adult
Summary: We report a 45-year old woman with a pilomyxoid astrocytoma (PMA) of the cervical spinal cord with a rapid clinical course and fatal outcome. Moreover, two family members of the patient were reported to have brainstem tumours with similar histopathological features. This may be the first report of familial PMA
