Qibla, and Related, Map Projections
The Qibla problem determination of the direction to Mecca has given rise to retro-azimuthal map projections, an interesting, albeit unusual and little known, class of map projections. Principal contributors to this subject were Craig and Hammer, both writing in 1910. The projections thus introduced are examined. An unusual recent discovery from Iran suggests that Muslims might have been prior i...
متن کاملInteractive map projections and distortion
We introduce several new methods for visualizing map projections and their associated distortions. These methods are embodied in the Interactive Map Projections system which allows users to view a representation of the Earth simultaneously as a sphere and as a projection with the ability to interact with both images. The relationship between the globe and the projection is enhanced by the use o...
متن کاملBlending World Map Projections
The idea of designing a new map projection via combination of two projections is well established. Some of the most popular world map projections in use today were devised in this manner. One construction method is to combine two source projections along a common parallel (for example, Goode’s homolosine combines the sinusoidal and the Mollweide projections). A second method calculates the arit...
متن کاملDifferent magnetic features between solar polar and equatorial magnetic fields
Solar polar and equatorial photospheric (FeIλ5324.19 Å line) magnetic fields have been observed using the vector video magnetograph at Huairou Solar Observing Station of Beijing Astronomical Observatory. It is found from our observations that the magnetic fields of small-scale magnetic features near the solar poles are stronger than in quiet equatorial regions near the limb, and that strong pol...
متن کاملCategorical aspects of polar decomposition
Polar decomposition unquestionably provides a notion of factorization in the category of Hilbert spaces. But it does not fit existing categorical notions, mainly because its factors are not closed under composition. We observe that the factors are images of functors. This leads us to consider notions of factorization that emphasize reconstruction of the composite category from the factors. We f...
