... Negative fragments locate to the north and positive ones to the south. Cancellation occurs. ... Positive fragments keep moving towards the negative fragments. Positive fragments emerges near the preexisted positive ones, and move towards the negative fragments. ... Southern positive fragments stop moving towards the negative ones. Positive fragments emerge to the east and move towards the negative fragments. Cancellation occurs between the eastern positive and northern negative ones. ...

... The greater the distance, the smaller the parallax. ... That triangle has the same proportions as the much larger triangle ABC, and therefore, if the distance B'C to the thumb is 10 times the distance A'B' between the eyes, the distance AC to the far landmark is also 10 times the distance AB. ... The most distant objects our eyes can see are the stars, and they are very far indeed: light which moves at 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second, would take years, often many years, to reach them. ...

Radio Interferometry Principles . Radio Interferometry Signal Processing . ... A radio interferometer consists of a pair of directional antennas that are tuned to receive radio emissions from a source in a desired RF band. ... The antennas are pointed at the radio source of interest and are set up to receive the signal and process it into a form suitable for transmission to the correlator. ... In connected element interferometry, the digital signal goes directly to the correlator. ...

... The change in the temperature dependence of the resistance, R ( T ), of ceramic YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 - x as oxygen is removed from the sample has been studied. The superconducting transition temperature shifts progressively downward in the process. ... The temperature dependence of the resistivity, ( T ), is linear, with a progressively increasing slope, only at T > 400 K. It is suggested that oxygen condenses on Cu-O chains at T 400 K.
