Intrinsic Limits on the Detection of the Anisotropies of the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background.

For any given network of detectors, and for any given integration time, even in the idealized limit of negligible instrumental noise, the intrinsic time variation of the isotropic component of the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) induces a limit on how accurately the anisotropies in the SGWB can be measured. We show here how this sample limit can be calculated and apply this to three separate configurations of ground-based detectors placed at existing and planned sites. Our results show that in the idealized, best-case scenario, individual multipoles of the anisotropies at ℓ≤8 can only be measured to ∼10^{-5}-10^{-4} level over five years of observation as a fraction of the isotropic component.

Since 1979 in our Hospital 2500 newborns have been screened for C.I. by T4 and, afterwards, by TSH test.

The effects of a kinesitherapy cycle (i.e. active and passive light physical activity) on the plasmatic cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides contents and on beta/alpha lipoproteins ratio as well in a group of 62 patients (39 males and 23 females) with neuromotor lesions are reported.
