... Archives . ... When it comes to survey, the first thing comes in my mind is the census packet although I only saw it once (an easy way to disguise my age but this is true) but the questionaire layouts are so carefully and extensively done so as to give me a strong impression. Such survey is designed prior to collecting data so that after collection, data can be analyzed according to statistical methodology suitable to the design of the survey. ... Chandra Blog . ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...

... 7.1 Introduction to media types . ... 7.3 Recognized media types . 7.3.1 Media groups One of the most important features of style sheets is that they specify how a document is to be presented on different media: on the screen, on paper, with a speech synthesizer, with a braille device, etc. Certain CSS properties are only designed for certain media (e.g., the 'cue-before' property for aural user agents). ... For example, the 'font-size' property is useful both for screen and print media. ...

... Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a term which covers the issues relating to the development of intelligent agents in this thesis. ... Before discussing particular aspects of the intelligent agents in a design system, it is necessary to show the applicability of using expert systems as design aids. ... Campbell et al hoped to find all the problems this way and make development of further expert systems for less complicated machines easier. ... The expert system helps to design the machine. ...

... Many Miriad tasks support on-the-fly selection and averaging of the channels to be processed. ... Channel-0' data (data formed by averaging all spectral channels together) are also treated as continuum data. ... For the spectral data, if the channel number does not correspond reasonably directly with velocity ( e.g. if Doppler tracking was not used), then it might be desirable to resample the spectral data at equal increments in velocity. ... channel . This gives raw or averaged spectral channels. ...

Section I: Introduction to ALFA and GALFA . Section II: System Description . ... ALFA receives 7 beams, 2 polarizations per beam, each covering 1225-1525 MHz. The 14 IF signals cover nominally the 100 to 400 MHz band. ... A high-resolution, low-bandwidth spectrometer (8K channels covering a 7 MHz bandwidth) . ... Each spectrometer board handles two polarizations from one telescope beam.The baseband signals are to be digitized by four 8-bit ADCs at 100 Msamples/sec. ... Bandwidth: . ...

... 18c. Work . ... The concept of Work is closely related to that of energy. ... Suppose we lift a weight A of mass m a distance h (for height) from the floor to the table (Figure 1). ... That, however, is just the potential energy added to the weight! ... Energy is always preserved but--as seen in an earlier section--not always in a usable form. ... Because the trains are linked, when one goes up, the other descends, and by giving up its potential energy, it helps pull the other one upwards. ...

... The MIDAS system is built along lines which should allow easy integration of complex analysis algorithms as well as allowing greater flexibility in interactive use and in the creation of user specific procedures from the basic building blocks. ... The present version which became available in 1984 follows a similar philosophy in its application program interfaces, but has been expanded to the new Standard Interfaces which have a broader base than previously. ...
