MESERVEY, R., 1971. The coastline fit of Africa and South America. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatol., Palaeoecol., 9: 233-243. It has become axiomatic that the pre-drift reconstruction of Africa and South America is to be made by fitting together the continental shelves. Although this procedure is very plausible, actually the detailed fit of the coastlines is better than that of the shelves and ...

1. Spectral analysis of simultaneous ROSAT/BATSE data After the discovery of GRS 1915+105 (Castro-Tirado et al. 1992) we obtained pointed ROSAT observations every six months (12 until now). The flux in the ROSAT (0.1–2.4 keV) band is strikingly different from the simultaneous BATSE (25–50 keV) flux which was obtained by integrating the best fit power law (Fig. 1). Motivated by the different int...

This study examines whether language-specific input influences children’s nonlinguistic spatial cognition as they acquire their first language. Recent research on infant cognition has shown that preverbal infants can make a distinction between tight-fit and loose-fit containment relations. This distinction is systematically made in Korean (kkita ‘fit tightly’), but not in English (in). Using a ...

This paper presents an algorithm to find the line-based map that best fits sets of two-dimensional range scan data that are acquired from multiple poses. To construct these maps, we first provide an accurate means to fit a line segment to a set of uncertain points via a maximum likelihood formalism. This scheme weights each point’s influence on the fit according to its uncertainty, which is der...

In this paper novel reflectarray antenna elements are proposed using aperture-coupled dielectric resonator antenna structures. Using these new structures, wide phase range and wide frequency bandwidth (up to 28.5%) with parallel and linear phase curves are obtained. In each case, an array consisting of 289 elements was simulated using the finite integration technique (FIT). The arrays exhibit 3...
