... This article is part of the LWN Porting Drivers to 2.6 series . This article serves as a sort of final resting place for various small changes in the kernel programming API which do not fit elsewhere. The kdev_t type has been removed from the kernel; everything which works with device numbers should now use the dev_t type. ... Consider using these while fixing your code; the next time the type of i_rdev changes, you will be happier. ... Driver porting: miscellaneous changes, designated inits . ...

Planetary Orbits Task 1: Observing the planets Look at the shape of the orbits. They come in two main types, those that are nearly circular and those that are clearly elliptical. In an elliptical orbit the distance from the sun changes with its position around the orbit. List the planets that have obvious elliptical orbits and those that have roughly circular orbits. ... Task 2: Calculating the speed of the planets in their orbits What happens to the speed of these celestial bodies? ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... News . ... In the following article, I used the wrong number to get the circumference of the Earth at the latitude of Cape Canaveral, which ironically is what I accuse Ms. vos Savant of as well! ... At the Equator, the Earth spins at 1000 miles per hour (the Earth is 24,000 miles around, and spins once every 24 hours). ... The math is a wee bit hairy, but not too bad, to calculate the circumference of the Earth at Cape Canaveral assuming the Earth is an ellipse with these numbers...

... Planets . ... The planets were found using the HARPS instrument on the 3.6m telescope at ESOтАЩs La Silla Observatory. ... A planet in orbit around a star causes the star to regularly move towards and away from observers on Earth. ... One newly discovered planet, HD 85512 b, is best hope found so far for a habitable exoplanet. ... The HARPS team so far have found that about 40% of stars similar to own Sun have at least one planet smaller than Saturn (which is 95 times more massive than Earth). ...

... Each ferrule will be used to plug approximately 300 holes. We must be sure the ferrules will not wear excessively during use; 1 mil reduction in diameter of a ferrule is enough to reduce light throughput by approximately 1%. ... Stainless steel ferrules offer lower precision (which will lose us approximately 1/2 to 1% light compared to ceramic), but they are relatively inexpensive, readily available with the hole diameter we require, and immune to cracking. ... Hence the wear was not very deep. ...

RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBERS Description of Data from SGD Explanation of Data Reports: Relative Sunspot Numbers -- The relative sunspot number is an index of the activity of the entire visible disk of the Sun. ... The provisional daily Zurich relative sunspot numbers, Rz, were based upon observations made at Zurich and its two branch stations in Arosa and Locarno and communicated by M. Waldmeier of the Swiss Federal Observatory. ... This indicates the uncertainty above and below the predicted number. ...

Next: Imaging by an Optimizing Method . ... A big advantage of this numerical integrator is its stability: the error in the semi-major axis and the eccentricity depends only on the step size and does not grow with an increasing number of time steps. ... As the integration time increases, the numerical results become more contaminated by various errors. ... A new symplectic integrator produces no secular truncation errors in the actions of a Hamiltonian system. ...
