Context. Despite recent observational and theoretical advances in mapping the magnetic fields associated with molecular clouds, their three-dimensional (3D) morphology remains unresolved. Multi-wavelength multi-scale observations will allow us to paint a comprehensive picture of these star-forming regions. Aims. We reconstructed 3D field Perseus cloud compared it predictions cloud-formation mod...

We present a characterization of two narrow band lters commonly used in Infrared Astronomy. Our study mainly quantiies the eeect of temperature and tilt angle on the central wavelength and width of the transmission bands of such lters. This allows to evaluate some important eeects that must be taken into account to have good quality astronomical images. EEects as the limitation of the eld of vi...

The Hipparcos star mapper detector background signal has been analyzed in the Tycho reductions for contributions due to the diiuse galactic light. The methods are presented by which the contributions from the two elds of view of the telescope are separated after elimination of background variations due to the radiation environment (Van Allen belts). A complete sky background map, with a resolut...

Some of non-manual signals (NMS’s) are considered to be functioning as grammatical markers in JSL. To describe NMS’s of Japanese Sign Language (JSL), we have developed a notational system that we named sIGNDEX Ver.2. We code NMS’s which appear in 100 elicited utterances with this system. We analyze the data thus coded and find frequency of each NMS. Our analysis makes it clear what NMS’s are fr...

This proposal seeks to utilize analytics on student demographics and grade records in combination with data on their performance in the GenEd NMS class G131 “Oceans and Our Global Environment” to assess how performance in the class and its range of assignments may be related to specific student characteristics. The project is structured to examine such connections by testing six specific hypoth...

Over the last four years, Nepal’s political ‘transition’ has dominated public debate on social, cultural and political issues in the new republic. However, although the term ‘transition’ has been applied loosely when referring to many elements of political and social change which have occurred in the wake of the Jana Andolan II and the end of the People’s War, what exactly does this transition ...
