... Based on the measurements of the Stokes parameters in the continuum and in the broad 0.6563 nm hydrogen emission line obtained with the 6-m telescope for the Seyfert galaxy Mkn 6, secular variability of the hydrogen line profile polarization was discovered; a time lag of less than 2 days between the continuum flux and the polarized continuum emission was determined which corresponds to the size of the region where the polarization of the continuum occurs, less than 0.001 pc. ...

... S _t_c,f_c,(_t),c = . ... We refer to ( 10 ) as the ``Gaussian chirplet transform'' (GCT). One characteristic of the one-dimensional Gaussian window is that its TF energy distribution is a bi-variate Gaussian function. Therefore its TF energy countours are elliptical, so shearing the TF distribution along the time axis provides no new degrees of freedom that cannot be obtained by combinations of shearing along the frequency axis together with dilation. ...

... The space and temporary structure functions of pathlength through the troposphere constructed on the base of turbulence theory are considered.
