ACTIVITY TITLE: Thermal Verification ID: TCS-01 APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS: L.10.4.13.1 DESCRIPTION: The determination of the impact of NOBL installation is expected to be ongoing for Bays 5, 7 and 8, likely through and past the SMOV period. ... Bays 5 and 8 are expected to have greater impact following successful installation of the NOBL-ER. Since the changes are not expected to have critical impacts, no specific thermal verification is really warranted for the SMOV period. ...

Perhaps the greatest theoretical achievement of physics in the 19th century was the discovery of electromagnetic waves. ... It is possible to use this to define a unit of electric charge, as the charge which repels a similar charge at a distance of, say, 1 meter, with a force of unit strength (actual formulas make this precise). ... But "field" originally only meant the force a magnet or an electric charge could expect at a point in space, if it were placed there. ...

... Actual stars are expected to be more complicated than these simulations. ... The spot may be entirely visible most of the time (one would observe a prolonged flux minimum low), and then part of it may disappear over the horizon briefly and then return (slow rise and then fall back to constant level). ... With the set of observations taken here, I have information available from several comparison stars and color information. ... The period found must be consistent with the data from any given night....

The effect of gravity on clocks was tested to great precision by Vessot etal (1980, PRL, 45 2081) who launched a hydrogen maser straight up at 8.5 km/sec, and watched its frequency change as it coasted up to 10,000 km altitude and then fell back to Earth. ... To separate the Doppler shift from the gravitational effect, a transponder was used: the ground station transmitted pulses (blue) at a fixed rate, which were then echoed by the rocket (green) and detected on the ground. ...

... Predicting the 1999 Leonid Storm : David Asher also explained previous Leonid meteor storms (notably the great storms of 1833 and 1966), and together with Rob McNaught (Australian National University, Siding Spring Observatory) made accurate predictions for the times of the `normal' storm trails of the Leonids. The prediction for the 1999 storm (for November 18 02 08 ) turned out to be `spot-on', and made headlines around the world. ...
