Next: One example Up: No Title Previous: No Title . Wavelets are versatile tools of harmonic analysis. Because of their many uses, the word `wavelet' comes with different connotations (and different promises) to users in different fields. ... To pursue the analogy, one may wish to select from the data some contact surfaces with specific finish tolerances. the amount of information is then reduced by selection and/or by statistical means. ...

Next: Historical Background Up: R Coronae Borealis Stars Previous: R Coronae Borealis Stars . R Coronae Borealis stars, or RCB stars, are an important class of VARIABLE STAR . ... RCB stars, remarkably, do both. RCB stars are best known because of their irregular `fades'. ... The fades are caused by enormous clouds of dust which cover a large part of the star's surface. ... As well as irregular fades, the light output from RCBs goes up and down by a few per cent every 40 days or so. ...

... 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 . ...

... The Australia Telescope is the premier imaging radio interferometer in the Southern hemisphere, and the only such modern instrument positioned able to observe SN 1987A. The compact array consists of six 22m antennas with a maximum baseline length of six kilometers. Additional Australian antennas can be combined with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) for Very Long Baseline observations, but to date there are no detections of the supernova on baselines longer than six km. ...

The problem of turbulence is one of the most important and challenging problem of the modern science. ... An experimental investigation of turbulent flows with special experimental setup and equipment, which allow to obtain reliable data with good precision, is very difficult and expensive process. ... The natural assumption for the theory of turbulence is that there exist some (unknown yet) general and universal properties for wide range of different turbulent flows. ...

This paper describes a simple imaging model which allows the limits of dithered imaging to be readily appreciated and briefly reviews available software. ... Dithered imaging can improve this sampling. ... ACOADD was originally developed for combining images with different PSFs but can also be used, with shifted PSFs and sub-sampled output images, for combining dithered under-sampled images. ...

From Keith Arnaud: The reactions I recall to my comments about saving posterior distributions were that Jeff Scargle was very sceptical about using other peoples posterior distributions as priors since it would lead to errors propagating. He preferred neutral priors. ... If you took posteriors on two parameters from different experiments and combined them as a prior and the two experiments themselves used the same prior then you would include this prior twice. ...
