Abstract This article argues that the encounter between Andromache and Ulysses in Seneca's Troades engages with genre of declamation to juxtapose two different discourses surrounding torture: one focussed on torture's connection truth, other its tyranny. It describes how Greek general Ulysses, convinced danger letting Trojan prince Astyanax live, threatens his mother physical torture order asce...

Changes in the heliosphenc magnetic field during the rcccnt declining phase in solar activity are reviewed and compared with observations during past sunspot cycles. The stud y is based pnncipall y on data obtained by IMP-8 and Ulysses. The field magnitude is found to have increased during the declining phase until it reached a maximum value of 11 .5nT in = 1991.5, approximately two years after...

Observations from the SWICS instrument on Ulysses reveal that there is little evidence for the acceleration of interstellar pick-up ions at the forward and reverse shocks which surround Co-rotating Interactions Regions (CIR's) in the solar wind. Rather, the pick-up ions exhibit strong acceleration in regions within the CIR where there are increased variations in the magnitude of the magnetic fi...

I have previously suggested that we should replace the ambiguous term “too much medicine,” in sense of using too many medical interventions, including diagnostic and therapeutic ones, with healthcare.” The first item my list forms healthcare is tests (if used inappropriately), or, a word, overdetection, one two major causes overdiagnosis. Overdetection has been defined as identification abnorma...

Current sheet is a significant source of solar wind MHD turbulence intermittency. It has long been recognized that these structures can arise from non-linear interactions of MHD turbulence. Alternatively, they may also be relic structures in the solar wind that have a solar origin, e.g., magnetic walls of flux tubes that separate solar wind plasma into distinct parcels. Identifying these struct...

We analyze a coronal mass ejection (CME) which resulted from an intense flare in active region AR486 on November 4, 2003. The CME propagation and speed are studied with interplanetary scintillation images, near-Earth space mission data, and Ulysses measurements. Together, these diverse diagnostics suggest that the internal magnetic energy of the CME determines its interplanetary consequences.

A number of Distributed Hash Table (DHT)-based protocols have been proposed to address the issue of scalability in peer-topeer networks. However, it remains an open question whether there exists a DHT scheme that can achieve the theoretical lower bound of on network diameter when the average routing table size at nodes is no more than . In this paper, we present Ulysses, a peer-to-peer network ...

The Ulysses spacecraft has been orbiting the Sun on a highly inclined ellipse almost perpendicular to the ecliptic plane (inclination 79◦, perihelion distance 1.3 AU, aphelion distance 5.4 AU) since it encountered Jupiter in 1992. The in-situ dust detector on board continuously measured interstellar dust grains with masses up to 10−13 kg, penetrating deep into the solar system. The flow directi...
