Clock Synchronisation in the Vicinity of the Earth
نویسنده
چکیده
The transmission time of an electromagnetic signal in the vicinity of the earth is calculated to c and contains an orbital Sagnac term. On earth, the synchronisation of TCB can be realised by atomic clocks, but not the one of TCG. The principle of equivalence is discussed.

Heavy metal concentration of soils affected by Zn-smelter activities in the Qeshm Island, Iran
In this study, concentrations of heavy metals in soils around a Zn-smelter in Qeshm island, Iran, are investigated. Calculated geoaccumulation index (Igeo), contamination factor (Cf), and contamination degree (Cdeg) values indicate surface soil contamination by toxic metals (As, Cd, Pb, and Zn). The results also indicate that most contaminated areas are located in the vicinity of the smelter an...
متن کاملSimulating Distributed Clock Synchronisation
Clock synchronisation algorithms for distributed systems are complex and diicult to study in situ. This report describes how a commercial simulation tool for embedded systems can be used to simulate the behaviour of a simple clock synchronisation algorithm.
متن کاملAlgorithms for o -line clock synchronisation
O -line clock synchronisation algorithms, in which synchronisation is performed by adjusting a collection of recorded timestamps, is suitable for use with many monitors for distributed systems. O -line synchronisation can often achieve very good synchronisation without the need for extra messages. The work described here builds on earlier work in this area [4] by introducing new synchronisation...
متن کاملInitial experiences with a clock synchronisation test bed
In a distributed system, no hardware facilities exist to synchronise the clocks of the computers within the system. Algorithms designed to synchronise clocks in such systems have been the subject of much research. The lack of a global clock has meant that the accuracy of these algorithms has generally been assessed using indirect measures of clock offsets. We have developed a clock synchronisat...
متن کاملClock Face Drawing Test Performance in Children with ADHD
Introduction: The utility and discriminatory pattern of the clock face drawing test in ADHD is unclear. This study therefore compared Clock Face Drawing test performance in children with ADHD and controls. Methods: 95 school children with ADHD and 191 other children were matched for gender ratio and age. ADHD symptoms severities were assessed using DSM-IV ADHD checklist and their intellectua...
