A measurement and integration scheme is proposed to estimate the shape of a large planar structure in space. Lightweight sun sensors distributed on the structure measure the local angles relative to the sun. A reconstruction technique is introduced to estimate the shape of the satellite through a decomposition on a function basis. The estimated shape is determined by the coefficients associated...

Recently, consumers have become more concerned with foods contain natural ingredients in terms of health and economic. Hence, in this study the effect of concentrate of smoked and sun dried raisin at 3 levels (1, 3 and 5%) as a natural humectant to improve the quality and shelf life of flat bread were investigated. Results showed that addition of smoked and sun dried raisin improved quality and...

Knowing the three dimensional structure of plasma filaments in the uppermost 1 part of the solar atmosphere, known as coronal loops, and especially their length, is an 2 important parameter in the wave-based diagnostics of this part of the Sun. The combination 3 of observations of the Sun from different points of observations in space, thanks to the 4 most recent missions including SDO and STER...

An algorithm to find moving groups has been developed and applied to a sample of 1924B, A, and Fmain sequence stars, basically extracted from the Hipparcos Input Catalogue. This algorithm uses a non-parametric kernel estimator to describe the stellar distribution in a 4-dimensional space of velocities and age, although it can be used to detect the real clustering structure in an n-dimensional s...
