The nanoscale and hydrophobic structures of the network enable the otherwise water-absorbing cotton to repel water nearly as efficiently as the lotus leaf. Furthermore, the treated fabrics are stronger and more resistant to tears. Nanotube concentrations of over 2% in the applied emulsion...
متن کاملStellar Absolute Magnitudes via the Statistical Parallax Method
I review statistical parallax absolute magnitude determinations which employ data from the Hipparcos satellite for RR Lyrae and Cepheid variables, and for several other stellar classes. Five groups have studied the RR Lyrae stars, and the results are reassuringly consistent: MV (RR) = 0.77 ± 0.13 mag at [Fe/H] = –1.6 dex. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations showed that systematic errors are small...

متن کاملGrounding magnitudes
Over the last few decades, different studies have been directed toward a better understanding of how humans use perceptual information in order to estimate magnitudes. Converging data from different research domains indicate that the processing of time, space, and other quantities frequently unfold together in the human brain and cognition. The idea of a common metric that regulates the ability...
متن کاملInformation seeking behavior of Greek astronomers
This study examines three aspects of information seeking behaviour of astronomers in Greece including a) the importance they place in keeping upto-date with current developments b) the methods they depend on for keeping up-to-date and c) the information sources they mostly use. We adopted an intradisciplinary approach in order to investigate similarities and differences in information seeking b...
