The Astronomical Society of Australia has been asked by STANDARDS AUSTRALIA to compile a list of "designated" optical observatories that are valuable resources for (i) research, (ii) education and (iii) community use. The ASA is the final arbiter of whether any particular observatory is so designated. ... Upon receipt of your application form, your observatory will be entered on a list of "Pending Designated Observatories" on the ASA Home Page. ... It will be emailed for you. ... Email . ...

The technical memorandum: Time and Time Interval Measurement with Application to Computer and Network Performance Evaluation (PostScript) describes a number of techniques for conducting experiments typical of computer network and transmission systems engineering. ... The usual data collected during a performance run of some experiment might include time offsets, time delays, frequency offsets and various error statistics. ...

... Microstructure RAS; Nizhny Novgorod; Russia 4 National Institute for Materials Science, Tsukuba 3050047, Japan A Superconducting Integrated Receiver ( SIR ) [1] comprises on one chip a low-noise SIS mixer with quasioptical antenna, an Flux-Flow Oscillator ( FFO ) acting as a Local Oscillator (LO) and a second SIS harmonic mixer (HM) for the FFO phase locking ... Continuous tuning of the phaselocked local oscillator has been realized at any frequency in the range 300-750 GHz. ...

... Department of Computer Science, CB 3175 Sitterson Hall, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3175 . ... A new deblurring algorithm has been developed involving both iteration and recursion and that is linear, flux-conserving, noise resistant, and faster to converge than extant iterative deblurring methods. Mathematical analysis shows that the recursive component of the algorithm provides the accelerated convergence. ... Iterative Deconvolution . ...

... Here we focus on identifying and parametrising HI absorption lines which occur in the line of sight towards strong radio continuum sources. We have developed a method for simultaneously finding and fitting HI absorption lines in radio data by using multi-nested sampling, a Bayesian Monte Carlo algorithm. The method is tested on a simulated ASKAP data cube, and is shown to be reliable at detecting absorption lines in low signal-to-noise data without the need to smooth or alter the data. ...
