In modified gravity theories, gravitational wave propagations are presented in nonstandard ways. We consider a friction term different from GR and constrain the modified gravitational waves propagation from observations. The modified gravitational wa...
The visible mass of the observable universe agrees with that needed for a flat cosmos, and the reason for this is not known. It is shown that this can be explained by modelling the Hubble volume as a black hole that emits Hawking radiation inwards, d...
The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a stroke clinic in stroke prevention and progression of cerebral microbleeds (CMB). We conducted a retrospective observational study of patients who visited a stroke clinic between Januar...
We study the impact on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) landscape of peculiar rotational general relativistic effects. These effects, on galactic scales, do not possess a Newtonian analogue, and therefore could a priori impact CMB analysis. We f...
Different from GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO and BeiDou-3, it is confirmed that the code multipath bias (CMB), which originate from the satellite end and can be over 1 m, are commonly found in the code observations of BeiDou-2 (BDS) IGSO and MEO satellites....
We hypothesized that cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients will be detected with higher prevalence compared to healthy controls (HC) and that quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) will help remove false positives seen in...
We point out that a modified temperature–redshift relation (T-z relation) of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) cannot be deduced by any observational method that appeals to an a priori thermalisation to the CMB temperature T of the excited...
Contemporary projects to measure anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) are now detecting hundreds to thousands of extragalactic radio sources, most of them blazars. As a member of a group of CMB scientists involved in the construction...

Cosmological parameters are constrained by a wide variety of observations. We examine the concordance diagram for modern measurements of the Hubble constant, the shape parameter from the large-scale structure, the cluster baryon fraction, and the age...
More than 30 inflationary models are confronted with the recently improved limit on the tensor-to-scalar ratio presented by the Planck team. I show that a few more models are falsified due to this sharper restriction. Additionally, I discuss possible...
Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are increasingly detected in patients with aortic and cardiac diseases following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), or cardiac surgery. CMBs can be observed in magn...
Crapemyrtle bark scale (CMBS, Acanthococcus lagerstroemiae), an invasive polyphagous sap-sucking hemipteran, has spread across 14 states of the United States since 2004. The infestation of CMBS has negatively impacted the flowering of ornamental plan...
“Non-locality is most naturally incorporated into a theory in which there is a special frame of reference. One possible candidate for this special frame of reference is the one in which the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is isotropic. Howeve...
Background: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is characterized by vascular deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) with a higher incidence of cerebral microbleeds (cMBs) and spontaneous hemorrhage. Since statins are known for their benefit in vascular disease w...
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is one of the most powerful tools for cosmology. Its polarization could have imprinted the sign of an inflationary background of gravitational waves, which is supposed to have originated at
The present study investigated the effects of cow manure compost and biochar on the dissipation and half-life of Othello and Atlantis herbicides in wheat cultivation. A greenhouse experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design (CRD) with...
This study aimed to investigate the functional and quality improvement of retorted Korean ginseng chicken soup that was hydrolyzed using a single extract from Cordyceps militaris (CM) mushroom, or in combination with bromelain, flavorzyme, or a mix o...
The dominant CMB dipole anisotropy is a Doppler effect due to a particular motion of the solar system with a velocity of 370 km/s. Since this derives from peculiar motions and local inhomogeneities, one could meaningfully consider a fundamental frame...
