in order to investigate factors affecting on seed germinating of london rocket (sisymbrium irio), lab experiments were set up in 2011 at the payamenoor university, mashhad, khorasan razavi province. effect of different concentrations of gibberellic acid (ga3) and cytokinin, wet and dry prechilling duration, hydrogen peroxide duration, ethanol, salt and osmotic stress and burial depth on seed ge...

12.1.1 Definitions The following definitions from WMO (1992; 2003a) are relevant to upper air measurements using a radiosonde: Radiosonde: Instrument intended to be carried by a balloon through the atmosphere, equipped with devices to measure one or several meteorological variables (pressure, temperature, humidity, etc.), and provided with a radio transmitter for sending this information to the...

GPS is a well established navigation system in current spaceflight missions. Affordable GPS receivers for small satellite and sounding rocket missions are usually based on Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) products. Many of these receivers are limited to single frequency tracking and utilise custom ASICs for the signal processing. The Phoenix receiver is an example of a commercially available rec...

This article explores the impact of the professional culture of rocket engineering in Stalin’s Soviet Union on the engineering and organizational practices of the space program during the Khrushchev era. The Stalinist legacy and the dual military / civilian character of rocket engineers’ work profoundly affected the identity of this elite part of Soviet technical intelligentsia. Focusing on suc...

mrs method is one of the new geophysical methods that directly detects the groundwater. by using this method, one can determines some parameters of aquifer (porosity, permeability and transmissivity). the purpose of this research is the application of mrs method in the conductive ground. combination of mrs and rs method is used for better detection of the aquifer in the region of abyek located ...

The advent of low earth orbit (LEO) commercial communication satellites provides an opportunity to dramatically reduce Telemetry, Tracking and Control (TT&C) costs of launch vehicles, Unpiloted Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Research Balloons and spacecraft by reducing or eliminating ground infrastructure. Personnel from the Goddard Space Flight Center’s Wallops Flight Facility (GSFC\WFF) have success...

Abstract One of the key limiting factors in evaporation rate sessile droplets is evacuation generated vapour away from liquid-air interface. In absence convection, main driving mechanism diffusivity: as mass diffusion quite a slow process, this generally leads to small rates. For liquids with heavy vapour, natural convection induced by density gradients cloud can increase significantly on groun...
