... OOF . ... OOF Index . Zernike Polys . ... The results presented here are based on same data and technique as presented in part 1 ; the only difference is that the Zernike Polynomials are defined on a circle of diameter 90m instead of 100m. The reason for doing this is that MUSTANG only illuminates the central 90m of the dish so there is essentially no constraint in the outer 10m. However, many Zernike polynomial pairs differ there the most and so previous results were highly correlated. ...

However Bill Napier, and Chandra and Janaki Wickramasinghe at Cardiff University, have shown that this explanation doesn't work: the dust so created would yield many strong annual meteor streams without parent comets, and these are not observed. ...

... The compromise hinges on the hair-splitting difference between the so-called count nouns and mass nouns . ... The trick now is to realize that data can be both a count noun and a mass noun. If you use it as a count noun, it is always plural, and you are using it in lieu of the word ?facts?; the literal translation of datum from the original Latin is that it is ?a thing given?, hence data is ?things given? ? ... So if data is correct as both a count noun and as a mass noun, which should you use? ...
