Butler and Johnston (1994) have reported on the changes in mean air temperature in Northern Ireland over the last 200 years and have found a correlation with solar cycle length, consistent with that reported by Friis-Christensen and Lassen (1991) between solar cycle length and mean Northern hemisphere air temperature. ... As well as data from Northern Ireland, we have used measurements made in Preston, located close to Ireland on the West coast of England. ...

Close binary systems of the RS CVn and Algol type are characterized by a highly variable radio emission, from typical flux densities of a few mJy during low-activity (quiescent) periods, up to 1 Jy during strong flares. The origin of this radio emission is attributed to the gyrosynchrotron mechanism. Several observations of these stars have shown an evolution of the radio spectrum during both the rising and decay phases of flares. ...

Proceedings of the Particle Physics and Early Universe Conference (PPEUC). For this paper: postscript PPEUC CMB index 1 Introduction.. ... Observatoire de Strasbourg , 11, rue de l'Universit?, ... We discuss the implications of two possible, recent Sunyaev--Zel'dovich (SZ) detections for which no optical or X-ray counterparts have been found. This suggests that the objects reside at high redshift, which is difficult to reconcile with a critical cosmology. ... Fri Jul 25 11:32:28 BST 1997 ...

Dogiel (P.N.Lebedev Institute of Physics) . ... It was concluded also from these investigations that it is problematic to produce emitting electrons from a background plasma by stochastic (Fermi) acceleration because the energy supplied by external sources in the form of Fermi acceleration is quickly absorbed by background plasma. ...

... Discusses the role of a pipeline in the AXAF Science Center Data System. Due to the complexity of the application, a prototyping effort was initiated to evaluate the risks involved with portability, open architecture, error handling/recovery, and distributed processing. Processes in the pipeline are initiated and monitored by a process control application developed using Perl. ... During that time, a Process Control application was developed to allow us to assess the risk factors. ...

Direct Electron Imaging Using Back Thinned CCDs . ... A proximity focused Gen III image intensifier has been built using a back illuminated 512 x 512 CCD in place of the phosphor screen. Signal to noise, spatial resolution, minimum resolvable signal and life are discussed. ... Very low light level imaging is driven by the need for high quantum efficiency detection of single photons at the highest possible speed and the highest spatial resolution. ...
