Experience with WINDS Virtual University

In the WINDS project the consortium partners have experimented with the Virtual University for Architecture and Engineering Design. University professors and their colleagues have created 21 online courses in this field. Their specific requirements have been taken into account in the implementation of the ALE system that integrates the functionality of a complex elearning system with adaptive e...

Observable Properties of X-ray Heated Winds in AGN: Warm Reflectors and Warm Absorbers

First discovered by spectropolarimetry, the warm reflecting gas near active galactic nuclei may be observed in many ways. When the nucleus itself is obscured, and instrumental angular resolution is fine enough to exclude radiation from the host galaxy, this gas can be seen in the soft X-ray band by a combination of bremsstrahlung, intrinsic line emission, and reflection of the nuclear continuum...

S.-Pre-Law Dance Winds Up Festival

Margie Dudley, president of the E. j B. L. S. brought out the fact that the j May Fete crowd, all dressed up, would j hove some place to go tonight. Jack Sparks, Rice graduate of 1937, j will be featured in the vocal role with Steele and his band. This orchestra was selected af ter several members of the E. B. L. S. and the P re -Laws had heard music played by it in Austin at several Texas Univ...

On the physics of cold MHD winds from oblique rotators

I show that the self-consistent solution of the problem of MHD plasma flow in the magnetosphere of an oblique rotator with an initially split-monopole magnetic field is reduced to the solution of a similar problem for the axisymmetric rotator. All properties of the MHD cold plasma flows from the axisymmetric rotators with the initial split-monopole magnetic field are valid for the oblique rotat...
