The approaches mentioned in the section title belong to one family which is called in Newton's book [ 56 ] the short waves or high energy approximation (HEA). It means the scattering by soft particles (or potentials) in the case of the wavelengths short in comparison with the particle size (or correspondingly the case of scattering of high energy particles by the potentials). ...

... In order to disentangle the effects of different climate variables on tree-ring growth rates of different species, and to explore the possibility that more than one species could improve the accuracy of the reconstructions of climate using tree rings, a methodical study of trees in close proximity to the Armagh Observatory climate station was initiated together with Ana Maria Garc?a Su?rez, and continued as part of the latter's PhD thesis with John Butler and Professor Mike Baillie (QUB). ...

... During the analysis of the surveys carried out on RATAN-600, it was found that almost one fifth of the detected sources shows significant radio flux variations. ...

... Credit Copyright: Dana Berry, NASA Explanation: What causes gamma-ray bursts? ... Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been localized , over the past few years, to blue regions in the universe rich in star formation. Massive young stars nearing the end of their short lives commonly explode in these regions. ... Over the past few months, short duration GRBs have finally been localized and found to occur in different types of regions -- not only blue regions rich in star formation. ...

Microsymposium 38, MS082, 2003 (A4 format) EVALUATING THE STRUCTURE OF THE SURFACE LAYER OF MERCURY. ... Photometric Analysis of the Lunar Surface Analogue. ... The phase function obtained directly on some segments of the lunar surface: 1- phase function of the Moon, 2 - phase function of Mercury, 3 - phase function of segments, converted to the lunar phase function system (correlation 0.8), 4 - phase function of segments, converted to the Mercurian phase function (correlation 0.9). ...

... We apply Multichannel Singular Spectrum Analysis (MSSA, or extended EOF) technique to filter GRACE data and separate the principal components (PCs) of different periods. We performed data averaging over the large river basins of Russia. ... In every point ij on the map we have time series Aij(tk) of length N. The trajectory matrix for every XAij should be build and incorporated into large block matrix X as follows: X Aij Aij (t0 ) Aij (t1 ) .. ... Sum of PCs 1-10 for particular rivers basins. ...

... Figure 1a illustrates the summary diagram (2 log L, log S ) based on the field intensity contour lines for 7 active regions plotted at 200 G steps in the range of 2200ґ400 G. One can see that the relationship under discussion is well represented by two straight lines, one corresponding to the log S range from 2 to 7.2 and another, from 7.2 to 9. ... Then, we plotted 2 log L versus log S for all field lines of a given intensity, no matter which sunspot or sunspot group they belonged to. ...

Next: A Universal Diagram for Up: ``Ecology'' of Magnetic Rotators Previous: The Corotation Radius . The interaction of a magnetic rotator with the surrounding plasma to a large extent depends on the relation between the four characteristic radii: the stopping radius, , the gravitational capture radius, ? , the light cylinder radius, ? , and the corotation radius, ? . ... Hence, the classification of the interaction regimes may well mean the classification of magnetic rotators. ...
