... This data file contains two entries: year and departure temperature from the average world wide temperature in 1899. ... Your task is to use the chi-squared method to compare the data against some linear model or a combination of different linear models if you think that is better, E.g. suppose your model is that the average temperature of the earth will rise 0.5 degrees C every hundred years (or 0.05 degrees per decade). ... You can average the data in 10 year intervals if you want. ...

... The dayside auroral precipitation consist of magnetosheath related boundary layer precipitation, and plasma sheet related BPS/CPS precipitation (extensions of the nightside precipitation regions). ... For example, the much lower fluxes from the LLBL region when compared to the cusp are compensated by the bidirectional electron beams found in the LLBL: the precipitating energy fluxes in the LLBL and the cusp are not that different. ... directly through the cusp and plasma mantle . ...

Aristarch is Copernic of Classic World. ... First Aristarch determined the fact for how many times the Sun was father then the Moon and then he compared the Sun and the Moon with the Earth. ... Only the Moon rotates around the Earth. ... Gipparch suggested that the Sun turned around the Earth steady and in circumference but the Earth is displaced according its centre. ... The orbit point in which the Sun is nearer to the Earth Gipparch called perigee and the most remote one he called apogee . ...

... This is possible at modest cost due to the low moments of inertia of the telescope and enclosure. ... This same performance will be achieved in higher winds when the telescope enclosure is facing away from the wind, or by using wind screens. ...

... Mass . 17a. Measuring Mass . ... A medium-size (1.25 inch wide) binder clip, as is used in offices to hold papers together--the type made of flat blue steel, with two wire handles. ... The theory predicts that the oscillation period should be proportional to the square root of the oscillating mass, including the mass of the clip. Note that gravity plays no part here: the oscillation period would be the same on the Moon or in zero-g. Denoting square root by SQRT, we have . ...
