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 ]). ...

... Since variance is the square of standard deviation, the obvious thing to to is to divide the input variance image by the square of the exposure map . Remember that, regardless of the value of readvarianceset , the task makes use of an internal variance image if either writevarianceset =`yes' or smoothstyle =`adaptive'.) ... However, recall that adaptive smoothing makes use of the input variance to calculate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the input image. ...

Projectile Motion: In Aristotle's view, objects moved parallel to the Earth's surface until it was time (i.e. it was their destiny) to fall back to the earth . Aristotle believed that the "natural" state of massive objects was to seek the center of the Earth. When a stone is launched, an impetus is given to it to disturb it from its natural condition. ... Archimedes' catapults lobbed quarter-ton stones at the attacking Roman ships, quickly destroying the clumsy Roman siege engine. ...

The Initial Condition of Cosmological High-Resolution Simulations T. Ogawa et al. ... However, the resolution of their INITIAL conditions is not high. ... The reso- lution of these initial conditions are constrained by the mesh size, in other words, high-frequency components of (x) are neglected initially. We argue the need for cosmological high-resolution sim- ulations to use a high-resolution initial condition, in other words, an initial condition including high-frequency components. ...

Intensity of atmospheric motions in the mabl retrieved from ocean surface radar imagery M. Mityagina E-mail: mityag@iki.rssi.ru Abstract. The paper is dedicated to the theory and practice of analysis of radar images of sea surface, obtained under unstable atmospheres. In this case, the sea surface reveals wind field variations in the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) caused by atmospheric convec-tive processes, accompanied by air motions with mainly vertical direction. ...
