We have discovered periodic light variations (P = 0.1718023 d) in the sdB star HS 2333+3927 in the BVR bands with amplitudes of 0.21, 0.28 and 0.33 mag, respectively. Sinusoidal radial velocity variations at the same period were detected with a semi-amplitude of K1 = 89.6 km s−1, indicating that it is binary system and that the light variations are caused by the reflection effect with no eclips...

We report on a very simple and inexpensive method for determining the speed of an electrical wave in a transmission line. The method consists of analyzing the roundtrip time for ethernet packets between two computers. It involves minimal construction, straightforward mathematics and displays the usefulness of stochastic resonance in signal recovery. Using basic electrical properties of category...

In this study, a white light particle image velocimetry (WL PIV) system which employs a light sheet generated with a flash was used. The system was developed in order to provide a cost-efficient and safe alternative to laser systems while keeping the accuracy limits required for hydraulic model tests. To investigate the accuracy of WL PIV method under different flow conditions, experiments were...

We present 50 individual measurements of the gas temperature and turbulent velocity in the local interstellar medium (LISM) within 100 pc. By comparing the absorption line widths of many ions with different atomic masses, we can satisfactorily discriminate between the two dominant broadening mechanisms, thermal broadening and macroscopic nonthermal, or turbulent, broadening. We find that the su...
