An Ancient Universe: How Astronomers Know the Vast Scale of Cosmic Time . THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE: HOW DO WE KNOW? The nature of the universe, its age, its birth and life story, have been deduced through the process of science. ... In the case of astronomy, it usually starts with making careful observations and measurements -- something your students can begin to do through inspection of astronomical images, and observation of the real sky. ...

When you enter a command it invokes a program. While this program is running it is called a process . It is important to grasp that although there is only one copy of a program held in the file system , any number of processes can be invoked which run this program. When the operating system is started after a boot , a single process is started. ... Any processes that are started from within your shell - such as entering a command - are the children of this process. ...

... CentralProcessor 0.11 documentation . ... Here we detail the input parameters that cover the overall process control, and the switches to turn on & off different parts of the pipeline. Values for parameters that act as flags (ie. those that accept true/false values) should be given in lower case only , to ensure comparisons work properly. These parameters affect how the slurm jobs are set up and where the output data products go. ... SUBMIT_JOBS . ... User Parameters - Pipeline & job control . ...

A user would call arch_gettbl() to input the table (or a subset of it). corfindpat() can create subsets of the table. arch_getdata() or arch_getonoff() can be used to read in the spectra. ... input the data (spectra) for a subset of the archive table: arch_getdata () . ...

... A dynamo (or electric generator) is a device converting . ... Faraday discovered that by moving a magnet next to a closed electric circuit, or changing the magnetic field passing through it, an electric current could be "induced" to flow in it. ... Faraday's disk dynamo Faraday showed that another way of inducing the current was to move the electric conductor while the magnetic source stood still. ... Faraday's disk dynamo needs a magnetic field in order to produce an electric current. ...

The Python programs offered here result from the development of methodology for processing image data with high precision, in a flexible command line system useful for astronomical and laboratory image processing. ... Alsvid is efficient in robotic and automated or scripted server processing of astronomical images, and also in interactive command line processing for research and visualization. ... In large part it replaces IRAF and IDL when scripted image processing is required. ...

Modules | ... Apache HTTP Server Version 2.2 . Apache > HTTP Server > Documentation > Version 2.2 > Modules . ... Hybrid multi-process, multi-threaded MPM for OS/2 . ... The Server consists of a main, parent process and a small, static number of child processes. The parent process's job is to manage the child processes. ... Each child process consists of a a pool of worker threads and a main thread that accepts connections and passes them to the workers via a work queue. ...

This document explains some of the directives provided by the core server which are used to configure the basic operations of the server. ... Process Creation . Network Configuration . ... User . ... A single control process is responsible for launching child processes which listen for connections and serve them when they arrive. ... The User and Group directives are used to set the privileges of the Apache child processes. ... The child process creates multiple threads to serve requests. ...

In Actor Prolog a resident is a special mechanism that helps processes to inspect state of other processes. A resident observes the state of a specified (target) process and if the state of the process changes (for instance, after message handling) it proves a specified predicate of the process. ... Work of the resident. ... Any change of the list of target processes or arguments of resident function results in activation of the resident and repeated collection of information in the target worlds. ...

ESOReflex data reduction workflows can be used to customize the generation of the processed and co-added calibration frames and to apply them to the science files. A detailed step-by-step guide on how to automatically associate the appropriate calibrations, raw or processed, to the science files of interest is available . ...

Marc White . ... Turbulent entrainment processes may play an important role in the outflows from young stellar objects at all stages of their evolution. In particular, lateral entrainment of ambient material by high-velocity, well-collimated protostellar jets may be the cause of the multiple emission-line velocity components observed in the microjet-scale outflows driven by classical T Tauri stars. ...
