... Such particles are called ``optically soft'', and the corresponding approximation could be named that of optically soft particles. ... For the theory based on the assumption (1), there are a set of the names: Rayleigh-Gans [ 11 ], Rayleigh-Debye [ 274 , 397 ], Rayleigh-Gans-Born [ 474 ], Rayleigh-Gans-Debye [ 78 , 144 , 409 , 410 ], Rayleigh-Gans-Rokard [ 132 ], Rayleigh-Debye-Gans (RDG) [ 100 , 462 ], Born (or the first Born) [ 56 , 135 ] approximation. ...

... The storm began quite unexpectedly. The strongest geomagnetic storm for the last seven months began on Earth almost precisely at the same time as the solar eclipse reached its maximal stage, the culmination of which occurred at GMT 02:35 (06:35 Moscow time). ... Oscillations of such amplitude in the magnetic field have not been observed since October, 11th of last year, which is more than seven months ago. ... We can only add that the magnetic storm lasted approximately 9 hours. ...

... According to standard phase screen theory large values of the intensity indices correspond to focusing conditions. ... It has been found that focusing effects always occur in the multibeam reflection (glint interference) regime. ... Figure 1 . ... First of all, calculations show that multibeam regime arises under slightly larger values of (see the Table 1 ). ... Thus, in our case (reflection from the E layer, altitude about 100 km) focusing is quite possible already when multibeam regime arises. ...

The Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory includes : . ... A mock-up of the "Orlan-M" EVA-suit; . ... Air- and water supply systems complex; . ... The air- and- water supply systems are intended for provision of EVA- suit, diving equipment and diving decompression chamber with air and water. ...

... a set of permissions associated with every file and directory that determine who can read it, write to it, or execute it. Only the owner of the file (or the super-user) can change these permissions. a mathematical term that refers to a number, character or word which changes the action of the command it is applied to. a standard code used for representing information on computer systems and networks. It uses the printing and non-printing characters that can be generated by the keyboard. ...

Getting To Know Layers . ... Layers in an image can be any size. ... You have the ability to toggle the visibility of a layer, so that it does not contribute to the final image. ... The layers dialog, with the Ops menu expanded . The primary tool for working with layers in GIMP is the Layers dialog. This gives you an overview of all the layers in an image, and provides the toggled areas for linking and visibility. ... You can also toggle a layer's Preserve Transparency option. ... Step 1 | ...

... What is the notion time? ... Generally speaking, it is an order of changing events, an order of constantly changing conditions of solids, Universe - being. ... The time, determined for the given longitude, is called the local time . ... A uniform system of time counting - ephemeris time is tested by observations of the Moon turning around the Earth. Fully independent from astronomic observation uniform system of the time counting is based on the concept of atomic second (see quantum watches ). ...

... Archaeoastronomers measure four important angles (see figure 3 and figure 4 ): . ... Because this angle does not change as the Earth rotates, astronomers use it to describe the positions of stars. ... For the North Star, the elevation equals the geographic latitude. ... Azimuth, the angle between north and the star (angle A in figure 4 ), measured along the observer's horizon. ... Astronomers are always using these angles to determine where to find a particular star at a particular time of year. ...
