Frob enius endomorphisms of linear spaces Alexander E. Guterman During the last century many efforts were devoted to classifying Frobenius endomorphisms of matrices, i.e., transformations preserving certain matrix invariants. The first result in this area was obtained by Frobenius in 1896, who characterized all bijective linear transformations on the space of complex matrices Mn (C) that preserve the determinant function. ... I am preparing a textbook and a computer course in my research area. ...

The activities of the group started at the end of 70's with the building of FIRT: the photometer of the National Infrared Telescope ( TIRGO ). The group has also developed a large amount of software and procedures in order to define all the relevant parameters of the systems. ... See also the local Labir4Giano pages. ... In addition to the development of the above instruments, we also carried some observations in collaboration with the science groups of Arcetry Observatory. ... Giano Local Page . ...

... We are developing the following problems: a) combine optical and microwave technic to the indication of non-linear surface waves and wave breaking field; b) modelling of microwave propagation in a multiphase air-water interface; c) obtain quantitative dependencies of microwave radiation on geometry and statistics of wave breaking field in ocean surface; d) monitoring of ocean surface states using optical amd microwave airspace data sets. ... Important issue is spray and underwater bubbles. ...

... A set of formulae has been developed to correct aperture photometry for CTE loss with dependencies on the X and Y positions, the background counts, the brightness of the star, and the time of the observation. The observations indicate that for very faint stars on a very faint background, the CTE loss from the top to the bottom of a chip has increased from about 3% shortly after the cool-down of WFPC2 (April 23, 1994) to roughly 40% in February 1999. ... Figure 5: Same as Figure 4 for X-CTE. ...

... By the time Isaac Newton entered college, the scientific revolution of the 17th century was well underway. ... Men like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Descartes had all helped develop a new view of nature. ... Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my best friend is truth." ... Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day, 1642, the same year Galileo died. ... He was one of the most creative geniuses the world has ever seen and to many people the greatest scientist who ever lived. ...

... For more distant stars we must use other techniques. ... Hence if we see a distant galaxy and can pick out any cepheids lying within it, we can calculate its distance. ... Here then is another method to gauge the size of the Universe and there are yet more. volume at high enough temperature a nuclear fusion reaction sweeps across the white dwarf's surface and eventually we will see a spectacularly bright new star (hence nova) in our skies. ... Why is this relevant to the size of the Universe? ...
