... This program was created for correlating chosen regions in the series of fts images. ... Chosen regions' . ... In this section the program counts the integral for each region of the grid for each image. ... As a matter of fact, the integral is total brightness of the region and it is counted by 'int_tabulated' IDL function. ... In addition, the program will show the count of the regions which correlate with the corresponding region (the brighter region means the bigger count) and its contour. ...

Important Information: Since the campus network allows student-to-student communication and since this network is part of the on campus learning infrastructure, students should make use of it. Past experience shows that students won't make use of it unless they are assigned to do so. For this homework assignment, you are to collaborate with at least one other student. ... This is best done by using an internet search engine and typing in a key word related to the question. ...

... 18c. Work . ... The concept of Work is closely related to that of energy. ... Suppose we lift a weight A of mass m a distance h (for height) from the floor to the table (Figure 1). ... That, however, is just the potential energy added to the weight! ... Energy is always preserved but--as seen in an earlier section--not always in a usable form. ... Because the trains are linked, when one goes up, the other descends, and by giving up its potential energy, it helps pull the other one upwards. ...
