The use of galaxy clusters as cosmological probes hinges on our ability to measure their masses accurately and with high precision. Hydrostatic mass is one the most common methods for estimating individual clusters, which suffer from biases due departures hydrostatic equilibrium. Using a large, mass-limited sample massive high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation, in this work we show that addition turbulent bulk gas velocities, acceleration introduces estimate clusters. In unrelaxed bias...

Sound waves from the primordial fluctuations of Universe imprinted in large-scale structure, called baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs), can be used as standard rulers to measure scale Universe. These have already been detected distribution galaxies. Here we propose BAOs troughs (minima) density field.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is believed to be caused by various factors, including abnormalities in susceptibility genes, environmental immune and intestinal bacteria. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the primary drugs used treat acid-related diseases. They also commonly prescribed patients with IBD.
