The tetra - lobed planetary nebula NGC 1501

Direct imagery and long-slit, spatially resolved echellograms of the high excitation planetary nebula NGC 1501 allowed us to study in detail the expansion velocity field, the physical conditions (electron temperature, electron density, ionization) and the spatial distribution of the nebular gas. An electron temperature of 11500 K and a turbulence of 18 km s−1 are derived by comparing the Hα and...

Electronic fetal monitoring alerts.

May/June 2012 become an issue in medical-legal cases. There are no national standards for setting parameters for EFM alerts or the timeframe expected for acknowledgement. Often default settings are determined when the system is installed and may vary widely from one institution to another. In many cases, the default settings can be altered by the clinician based on the individual patient situat...

Spatially-modulated Auditory Alerts

The technique of spatial modulating (“jittering”) an existing or newly created auditory alert along a virtual trajectory to improve its detection in a noisy environment is described. Threshold data from 14 participants were gathered as a function of spatial modulation rate (0, 1.6 and 3.3 Hz) of an avionics “wind sheer” alert (two successive 300 ms square waves) against a steady state backgroun...
