Equatorial scattering and the structure of the broad-line region in Seyfert nuclei: Evidence for a rotating disc
(Blackwell Publishing: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2005-05)
We present detailed scattering models confirming that distinctive variations in polarization across the broad Halpha line, which are observed in a significant fraction of Seyfert 1 galaxies, can be understood in terms of ...
Characterization methods for LCD devices with crosstalk issues
(Society for Information Display, 2005-05)
An approach is introduced for building accurate and compact color look-up tables (CLUTs) to describe the colorimetric performance of liquid crystal display (LCD) devices. In an experiment, a novel analysis technique was ...
Supermassive black hole mass measurements for NGC 1300 and NGC 2748 based on HST [Hubble Space Telescope] emission-line gas kinematics
(Blackwell Publishing: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2005-05)
We present Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph emission-line spectra of the central regions of the spiral galaxies NGC 1300 and NGC 2748. From the derived kinematics of the nuclear gas we have found evidence for central ...
Numerical simulation of growth of a vapor bubble during flow boiling of water in a microchannel
(Spring-Verlag, 2005-05)
The present study is performed to numerically
analyze the growth of a vapor bubble during flow of
water through a microchannel. The complete Navier-
Stokes equations, along with continuity and energy
equations, are ...
High resolution studies of radio sources in the Hubble Deep and Flanking Fields
(Blackwell Publishing: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2005-04)
Eighteen days of MERLIN data and 42 hours of A-array VLA data at 1.4 GHz have been combined to image a 10-arcmin field centred on the Hubble Deep and Flanking Fields (HDF and HFF). A complete sample of 92 radio sources ...
A Game theoretic analysis of tariffs, dynamic inconsistency, resource conservation, and trade
(Taylor & Francis: The definitive copy of this paper can be found at: http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~content=t713684190~db=allt, 2005-04)
Batabyal and Beladi (2004) have used a game model to study trade in a renewable resource
between a single buyer and a single seller. The buyer uses a unit tariff to obliquely encourage
conservation of the renewable ...
An upper limit to the masses of stars
(Nature Publishing Group: Nature, 2005-03-10)
There is no accepted upper mass limit for stars. Such a basic quantity escapes both theory, because of incomplete understanding of star formation, and observation, because of incompleteness in surveying the Galaxy. The ...
Status and distribution of the alligator snapping turtle, Macrochelys temminckii, in Oklahoma
(Southwestern Association of Naturalists: The Southwestern Naturalist, 2005-03)
Although historic records of the alligator snapping turtle, Macrochelys temminckii, show a past distribution throughout eastern Oklahoma, little is known about the current status and distribution of this species in the ...
Experimental study of heat transfer in an evaporating meniscus on a moving heated surface
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2005-03)
A stable meniscus is formed by a circular nozzle dispensing water over a heated circular
face of a rotating cylindrical copper block. The nozzle is offset from the axis of rotation of
the copper block and thus a moving ...
Analytical comparison of subpixel target detectors in structured models for hyperspectral images
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2005-03)
In the current target detection literature, there are two major approaches to the evaluation of detectors’ performance. One is based on theoretical calculations assuming some simple statistical models, and the other approach ...
