INTRODUCTION Sustained cooperative action is required to improve the mental health of populations, particularly in low and middle-income countries where meagre mental health investment and insufficient human and other resources result in poorly performing mental health systems. THE OBSERVATORY The International Observatory on Mental Health Systems is a mental health systems research, educatio...

The Chandra X-ray Observatory is the X-ray component of NASA's Great Observatory Program which includes the recently launched Spitzer Infrared Telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for observations in the visible, and the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) which, after providing years of useful data has reentered the atmosphere. All these facilities provide, or provided, scientific data...

The Virtual Observatory (VO) for Astronomy is a framework that empowers astronomical research by providing standard methods to find, access, and utilize astronomical data archives distributed around the world. VO projects in the world have been strenuously developing VO software tools and/or portal systems. Interoperability among VO projects has been achieved with the VO standard protocols defi...

We describe the data flow in the operation of the VEGA/CHARA instrument. After a brief summary of the main characteristics and scientific objectives of the VEGA instrument, we explain the standard procedure from the scientific idea up to the execution of the observation. Then, we describe the different steps done after the observation, from the raw data to the archives and the final products. M...

ital form in high volumes by many research groups. The need for access to and interoperability between these repositories is growing. Research groups need to access their own increasingly diverse data collections. As investigations begin to include results from many different experiments, researchers also need to access and utilize other research groups’ data repositories in a single discipline...

A new fast pruning algorithm is proposed for computing the IV, lowest frequency components of a Iength-~V discrete cosine transform, where AVO is any integer less than or equal to N, and AV = 2“‘. The computational complexity of the developed algorithm is lower than any of the existing algorithms, resulting in significant time savings. In the special case that AVO = 2 “ Q , the required number ...

A new 6 cm survey of almost 0.6 deg to a limit of 0.55 mJy/beam (10σ) finds 37 isolated radio sources and 7 radio source pairs (not necessarily physical companions). IRAC counterparts are identified for at least 92% of the radio sources within the area of deep IRAC coverage, which includes 31 isolated sources and 6 pairs. This contrasts with an identification rate of <74% to R < 23.95 in visibl...

Montage is a portable toolkit for constructing custom, science-grade mosaics by composing multiple astronomical images. The mosaics constructed by Montage preserve the astrometry (position) and photometry (intensity) of the sources in the input images. The mosaic to be constructed is specified by the user in terms of a set of parameters, including dataset and wavelength to be used, location and...

The principal results on active galactic nuclei from the Phase 1 observations by the COMPTON Gamma Ray Observatory are presented. These include the detection of a new class of high-energy gamma ray sources by the EGRET instrument and extensive observations of Seyfert galaxies in low-energy gamma rays by OSSE. The identified EGRET sources are associated with core-dominated radio loud objects, OV...
