DESCRIPTION:In recent years many simulations have explored the star format
 ion\nprocess in molecular clouds. However\, most of them use turbulent\nsp
 heres/boxes\, or colliding flows as initial conditions. These setups\nlack
  the complexity of the galactic conditions where the real clouds\nare crea
 ted. We extract our clouds from galactic-scale simulations\,\nincrease the
 ir resolution\, and resimulate them. We compare our\ngalactic clouds with 
 turbulent spheres. Our work indicates that\ndifferent kinematic properties
  inherited from the galactic simulations\nhave an impact on the star forma
 tion rate (even without implementing\nany feedback in the models). And the
 refore the inherited velocity\nflows in a particular molecular cloud may b
 e important in defining its\nstar formation history.\n
