Patterns of calculated concentrations by pollutant for different receptor territories corresponding to stations (furthest down the picture) and POs (the remainder). While all patterns are qualitatively similar, there are marked quantitative differences between territories. The pollutants go along the abscissa in the following sequence from left to right: CO, NO, NO 2 , NOx, O 3 , PM10, SO 2 , benzene, toluene, formaldehyde, xylene, Cd, Ni (the last four are meteoparameters). ...

This section of AMPLE enables one to make ephemeris calculations in various coordinate systems (spherical, rectangular) connected with different main planes (equator, ecliptic, horizon) and having origin in different points: geocenter, any point on the Earth surface, the Sun, any major planet, any minor planet. The choice of some minor planet as a center gives possibility to find approaches of the minor planet with any set of major planets and minor planets. ... equinox . 1950 2000 true . ...

... Thomson's multiple window method of spectral estimationthomson provides a very good estimate of the power spectrum by measuring the energy contained within a collection of rectangular shaped frequency intervals. ... Often, much of the fine structure of a spectral estimate is due to noise. It should be stressed that while other methods of spectral estimation (such as the Welchoppenheim method) exist, the Thomson method is particularly noteworthy for its precisely defined rectangular frequency bins. ...
