Shabnumā-wa-Rūznumā A Rare Astronomical Instrument Extant in Two Specimens
Authors
Abstract:
In India, there are extant two nineteenth century specimens of an otherwise unknown astronomical instrument called Shabnum?-wa-R?znum? with which observations can be done both in the day and at night. While the R?znum? is nothing but a sine/horary quadrant, the Shabnum? appears to be inspired by the Sanskrit instrument Dhruvabhrama-yantra which was invented by Padman?bha in the first quarter of the fifteenth century in Central India. After a brief description of the Dhruvabhrama-yantra, the two specimens of the Shabnum?-wa-R?znum? are described in detail.

15 صفحه اولTwo-dimensional silicon vidicon astronomical photometer.
We have developed and successfully used an integrating two-dimensional silicon diode array vidicon photometer which is exceptionally well suited for use with telescopes. The video signal is read out from the 1-cm silicon target of the vidicon through a current mode preamplifier and then converted to digital form and stored on magnetic tape. The 256 x 256 element frames are recorded at 20,000 ei...

Abstract: Human maxillary first molars are usually considered as three-rooted teeth with four root canals for the presence of a second canal in the Mesio Buccal root (MB2). In addition, lateral ramifications and apical delta of the root canal system may frequently occur, increasing the probability of leaving untreated spaces after the root canal therapy. A thorough knowledge of root canal mor...

Improved Mirror Coatings for use in the Lyman Ultraviolet to Enhance Astronomical Instrument Capabilities
This paper will describe efforts at developing broadband mirror coatings with high performance that will extend from infrared wavelengths down to the Far-Ultraviolet (FUV) spectral region. These mirror coatings would be realized by passivating the surface of freshly made aluminum coatings with XeF2 gas in order to form a thin AlF3 overcoat that will protect the aluminum from oxidation and, henc...
