A Look into the Guts of Sunspots
نویسنده
چکیده
Advances in instrumentation have made it possible to study sunspots with unprecedented detail. New capabilities include imaging observations at a resolution of 0. 1 (70 km on the sun), spectroscopy at ∼ 0. 2, and simultaneous spectropolarimetry in visible and infrared lines at resolutions well below 1. In spite of these advances, we still have not identified the building blocks of the penumbra and the mechanism responsible for the Evershed flow. Three different models have been proposed to explain the corpus of observations gathered over the years. The strengths and limitations of these models are reviewed in this contribution.

The relation between the number of sunspots and fluctuation in the trend of climatic components in Iran during recent decades
This analysis was conducted on 31 synoptic stations in Iran. Initially, the Mann-Kendall test was administered in order to analyse the trend of alterations of these two components over time and the results suggest that 16% of the stations show significant relationship with annual precipitation (positive and negative). More stations showed significant relationships between sunspots and minimum a...

The formation and regulation of vertebrate endogenous intestinal microbiota has been widely studied as the microbiota plays a crucial role in the host nutrition, development, and health. Despite the importance of microbiota for host health, it is still unclear whether the endogenous intestinal microorganisms are genetically distinct or whether they are genetically related with each other in dif...
متن کاملThe Investigation of the Anti-fungal Activity of Sea Cucumber (Holothuria Leucospilota) Extracts (Body Wall, Guts and White Strings) from Chabahar Bay, Oman Sea
Compounds obtained from marine organisms have been isolated due to their anti-bacterial and antifungal activities. In this study, the antifungal activity of aqueous-methanol, methanol, chloroform and n-hexane extracts of body wall, guts and white strings of sea cucumber (Holothuria leucospilota) collected from Chabahar Bay in 100 to 2000 μg/ml concentrations is discussed. The antifunga...
متن کاملImperfect Competition and Sunspots
This paper shows that imperfect competition can be a rich source of sunspots equilibria and coordination failures. This is demonstrated in a dynamic general equilibrium model that has no major distortions except imperfect competition. In the absence of fundamental shocks, the model has a unique certainty (fundamental) equilibrium. But there is also a continuum of stochastic (sunspots) equilibri...
متن کاملThe Investigation of Anti-bacterial Activity of Holothuria Leucospilota Sea Cucumber Extracts (Body Wall, Guts and White Strings) at Chabahar Bay in Oman Sea
Echinoderms are independent and quite special branch of world animals. Sea cucumbers are among the strangest members of echinoderm class regarding their structure and physiology. These fauna have been tested with regard to anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-coagulants, anti-virus, cytotoxic, hemolytic and anti-HIV features. In this study, the antibacterial activity of Holothuria leucospilota...
