Solar tracker with optical feedback and continuous rotation

Solar rotation

This paper reviews current understanding of the internal rotation of the Sun. We summarise the outcome of the latest helioseismic measurements of the angular velocity profile, and review existing dynamical models of rotation in the convection zone and in the radiative zone beneath. Finally, we discuss preliminary results along a new line of investigation.

Tracker: continuous HMMER and BLAST searching

SUMMARY Tracker is a web-based email alert system for monitoring protein database searches using HMMER and Blast-P, nucleotide searches using Blast-N and literature searches of the PubMed database. Users submit searches via a web-based interface. Searches are saved and run against updated databases to alert users about new information. If there are new results from the saved searches, users wil...

Mechatronic Prototype of Parabolic Solar Tracker

In the last 30 years numerous attempts have been made to improve the efficiency of the parabolic collectors in the electric power production, although most of the studies have focused on the industrial production of thermoelectric power. This research focuses on the application of this concentrating solar thermal power in the unexplored field of building construction. To that end, a mechatronic...

Solar Interior Rotation and its Variation

This article surveys the development of observational understanding of the interior rotation of the Sun and its temporal variation over approximately forty years, starting with the 1960s attempts to determine the solar core rotation from oblateness and proceeding through the development of helioseismology to the detailed modern picture of the internal rotation deduced from continuous helioseism...
