... I decided that I don't need another script to synch duplicates between ldap and Active Directory after looking at the records on both. ... I got a connector for Active Directory set up in Zope, got the COI over https problem resolved with Alex, and worked on fixing up the broken ldap reports. ... I updated the manager selection code in the photo gallery so it will work with active directory and started developing a fix for the problem with LDAPSearch that prevented the delivery. ...

Traditionally, the main problem considered in connection with circular interstellar polarization is the meaning of the wavelength where changes the sign . ... This is also demonstrated by Fig. 19 (lower panel) which shows the wavelength dependence of the factors of linear and circular polarization for particles of magnetite as was done by Shapiro ([ 1975 ]). ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

... Radio telescope interferometers exhibit chromatic aberration effects. ... Reduction packages such as AIPS and AIPS++ will produce a beam pattern image for each frequency channel. This allows these packages to compute a spectral-line cube which has a pixel size (cellsize) independent of frequency. ... Because of this, Miriad produces cubes where the pixel size changes with frequency. ... The correct approach is to produce a cube in Miriad which does not have a variable pixel size. ...

... 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 . ...

Next: Equations of condition Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Extinction and transformation . Bias can also be introduced by improper fitting procedures. For example, the reduction program known as SNOPY, used for many years at La Silla and also at La Palma, uses a simple iterative technique in which some subsets of the parameters are solved for, while others are held fixed; then the ones last solved for are held fixed, while the ones previously fixed are redetermined. ...

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. ...

Changing a World . What did the students learn from all this? ... The students found this unsatisfactory -- some of them would not be able to fit another astronomy class into their schedules, but they wanted to know about our planetary neighbors, and this project gave them the opportunity to find out without spending valuable class time on the subject. ... The students also learned to learn for themselves, perhaps one of the most important milestones during formal education. ...
