... The particular variables it is concerned with are tick , which is the number of microseconds added to the system time during a clock interrupt, tickadj , which sets the slew rate and resolution used by the adjtime system call, and dosynctodr , which indicates to the kernels on some machines whether they should internally adjust the system clock to keep it in line with time-of-day clock or not. ... Set the kernel variable tickadj to an internally computed "optimal" value. -t tick . ...

In 1985, Grossman and Paulgrossmann-paul rigorously formulated some of these important ideas in terms of affine canonical coordinate transformations to a coherent space representation. ... In 1989 and early 1990, we formulated the chirplet transform, a multidimensional parameter space whose coordinate axes correspond to the pure parameters of planar affine coordinate transformations in the time-frequency plane. ...

Next: Estimating the angle Up: Wavelength Calibration Previous: General Description . The wavelength calibration involves a physical equation, the echelle relation and regression analysis to achieve estimates of the dispersion relation. Provided that the echelle dispersion is performed with a grating, any echelle spectrum can be calibrated usually with four lines used as pre-identifications and a catalog of laboratory wavelengths associated to the calibration lamp. ...

... A universal physical relation for quasars . ... Harvey Tananbaum and his collaborators have first observed a relation between the soft X-ray and the optical/ultraviolet emission in AGN in 1979. Such relation is nonlinear, and it is usually parameterized as dependence between the logarithm of the monochromatic luminosities at 2500 †Е ( L 2500†Е ) and 2 keV ( L 2keV ) . ... Yet, the dispersion along the L 2500†Е тАУ L 2keV relationship is found to be rather high, typically ~0.35тАУ0.4 in log units. ...
