Abstract We consider strong gravitational lensing by nearby stars. Using our wave-optical treatment of phenomena, we study Einstein rings that may form around stellar lenses. It is remarkable these are bright and large enough to be detected resolved existing instruments. Such events have durations hours or days, with peak light amplification lasting for several minutes. Many such predicted usin...

Executive Summary The overall purpose of this project was to develop a field protocol for testing two field-portable near-infrared (NIR) spectrophotometers as on-site, free-standing (not in-line), measurement tools for nutrients in hog manure at the time of application of manure to agricultural land. This project is a developmental step between the analysis of hog manure in the laboratory using...

modern world revolutions have created some instruments known as ‎quasi-negotiable instruments which are different from negotiable ones, ‎despite having some similarities to them. commercial custom recognizes ‎them as quasi-negotiable instruments. the principle is that we don’t ‎need new legal regime for this new category because they are right in ‎personam when they are created and rights in re...

There are four major X-ray satellites currently in operation (RXTE, Chandra, XMM-Newton, INTEGRAL), with two more shortly to follow (Astro E II, Swift), and several very ambitious observatories in various stages of planning (Constellation-X, MAXIM, XEUS). This very rich period of X-ray observation is leading to great advances in our understanding of the accretion flow onto the black hole, altho...
