Ascidians, especially those belonging to the Ascidiidae, are known to accumulate extremely high levels of vanadium in vanadocytes, one type of blood (coelomic) cell. Vanadium, which exists in the +5...
Nonlinear Evolution of Very Small Scale Cosmological Baryon Perturbations at Recombination.
Liu, Guo-Chin, Yamamoto, Kazuhiro, Sugiyama, Naoshi, Nishioka, Hiroaki
