The Depth to which Whales Descend

Aquarii : how CVs descend from supersoft binaries

AE Aquarii is a propeller system. It has the shortest spin period among cataclysmic variables, and this is increasing on a 10 yr timescale. Its UV spectrum shows very strong carbon depletion vs nitrogen and its secondary mass indicates a star far from the zero–age main sequence. We show that these properties strongly suggest that AE Aqr has descended from a supersoft X–ray binary. We calculate ...

A Bayesian method to estimate the depth and the range of phonating sperm whales using a single hydrophone.

Some bioacousticians have used a single hydrophone to calculate the depth/range of phonating diving animals. The standard one-hydrophone localization method uses multipath transmissions (direct path, sea surface, and seafloor reflections) of the animal phonations as a substitute for a vertical hydrophone array. The standard method requires three multipath transmissions per phonation. Bioacousti...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...

TTI Anisotropic Depth Migration: Which Tilt Estimate Should We Use?

Summary We perform a series of numerical modelling and migration experiment with different homogeneous TTI anisotropic media, characterized by tilt axis, polar velocity and anisotropy parameters. In the case of structurally conformable media, where the tilt of the medium coincides with the dip of the structure, great simplifications arise in the decoupling of the anisotropy parameters. In parti...
