Cosmological parameters from SDSS and WMAP (2003)
Tegmark, M., Strauss, M., Blanton, M., Abazajian, K., Dodelson, S., Sandvik, H., ...
We measure cosmological parameters using the three-dimensional power spectrum P(k) from over 200,000 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in combination with WMAP and other data. Our...
The 3D power spectrum of galaxies from the SDSS (2003)
Tegmark, M, Blanton, M, Strauss, M, Hoyle, F, Schlegel, D, Scoccimarro, R, ...

MINIMUM ALVEOLAR CONCENTRATION OF SEVOFLURANE IN ELDERLY PATIENTS (1993)
NAKAJIMA, R., NAKAJIMA, Y., IKEDA, K.
We have determined the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) for sevoflurane in elderly patients (mean age 71.4yr). MAC was found to be 1.48 (SEM 0.08) %, which is smaller than the values for children...
