The efficiency of interaction of radiation with a particle and hence its optical properties depend on the particle chemical composition, size, shape, structure, etc. ... Particle size expressed in units of the wavelength of incident radiation, together with chemical composition, most strongly affects the optical properties of a scatterer. ... There are many methods to solve the light-scattering problem for a homogeneous spheroid (our survey of the light-scattering methods see here ). ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

For a given form, the JavaScript runtime engine creates appropriate FileUpload objects and puts these objects in the elements array of the corresponding Form object. ... form . ... For all FileUpload objects, the value of the type property is "file" . ... Use the value property to obtain the file name that the user typed into a FileUpload object. ...

... Physical Properties of Crystals . ... The course is an introduction into crystal physics and consists of two introductory parts devoted to the basics of crystallography and tensor analysis and six main chapters in which the physical phenomena in anisotropic medium are described by the example of the elastic, electrical and magnetic crystal properties. The effect of symmetry is also discussed. ... Effect of symmetry on crystal properties. ... Effect of symmetry on crystal optical properties. ...

... Consequently, it is inappropriate to expand and in ordinary spherical harmonics. The proper expansion expresses both and simultaneously in terms of a particular order of generalized spherical harmonics. ... Generalized spherical harmonics start at , and for each , . ... Generalized spherical harmonics obey a sum rule analogous to a familiar one for ordinary spherical harmonics, but it includes an explicit phase factor which depends on the orientation of the two lines of sight. ...

... ICND-96, Saratov, Russia. ... And though a number of efficient methods of digital sound compression is developed by far, there is still a need in new efficient methods. In this report we study a possibility of application of fractal methods to compression of speech signals. ... In this method, a speech frame is divided into larger pieces called domains, and smaller ones called regions, and an optimal set of affine transformations of domains into regions is calculated. ...

... Ionization Properties of the Dusty Mesosphere . Boris A. Klumov, Sergey I.Popel Institute for Dynamics of Geopsheres, Russia . ... The problem of influence of the dynamics and charging of dust particles on the ionization properties of the polar summer mesosphere is considered. ... We introduce the notion "dusty mesosphere" for the layer of the mesosphere at the altitudes of approximately 80-90 km, where the conditions for the nucleation and formation of macro (dust) particles are fulfilled. ...

... About ATNF overview . ... Parkes radio telescope . ... Saxton & Wu (1999) presented calculations of the stability of the accretion shock which forms on the surface of an accreting magnetic white dwarf in AM Herculis type systems in an attempt to explain the observed properties of the quasi periodic oscillations sometimes seen in these systems. He showed that radiative cooling may cause thermal instability in the post-shock structure of the accretion flow settling onto a magnetic white dwarf. ...
