The most direct probe of non-Gaussian initial conditions has come from bispectrum measurements of temperature fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background and of the matter and galaxy distribution at large scales. Such bispectrum estimators are expected to continue to provide the best constraints on the non-Gaussian parameters in future observations. We review and compare the theoretical and observational problems, current results, and future prospects for the detection of a nonvanishing primordial component in the bispectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background and large-scale structure, and the relation to specific predictions from different inflationary models.

There are several different atmospheric causes, of imperfections in the images seen in a telescope. The most serious are due to thermal convection from the ground, or the stirring of a stable layer at the ground by wind : choice of site and observatory design can reduce these effects. In the free air well away from the ground some of the largest inhomogeneities may be due essentially to large gradients of humidity, and certain cloud types indicate the mechanisms by which such inhomogeneities are established. Temperature fluctuations caused by pressure fluctuations in eddies close to the telescope are probably not serious, and can be avoided by observatory design.

From a thorough analysis of a large number of individual molecular trajectories, we find that the glycosphingolipid GM1 residing on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane shares the same dynamic heterogeneity and non-Gaussian statistics as transmembrane proteins. This finding provides strong support for the dynamic picket-fence model.
