We compare atomic gas, molecular gas, and the recent star formation rate (SFR) inferred from HЮБ in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). ... This allows us to disentangle conversion factor effects from the impact of metallicity on the formation and star formation efficiency of molecular gas. ... At a fixed total gas surface density the SMC has a 5-10 times lower molecular gas fraction (and star formation rate) than large spiral galaxies. ...

... Early on, our interest in chirping analysis functions was motivated by a different kind of chirping phenomenon: chirping due to perspective. ... Our interest in radar, however, drew us toward processes that are more accurately analyzed by linear-FM chirplets. ... We have also constructed other chirplet transforms, such as a three-parameter Doppler chirplet representation that models a source producing a sinusoidal wave, while moving along a straight line (e.g. a train whistle). ...

The CLASS attribute is most commonly used to attach a different style to some element, but it is recommended that where practical class names should be picked on the basis of the element's semantics, as this will permit other uses, such as restricting search through documents by matching on element class names. ...

The wavelength calibration involves a physical equation, the echelle relation and regression analysis to achieve estimates of the dispersion relation. Provided that the echelle dispersion is performed with a grating, any echelle spectrum can be calibrated usually with four lines used as pre-identifications and a catalog of laboratory wavelengths associated to the calibration lamp. ...
