Firstly identified in images from JAXA’s orbiter Akatsuki, the cloud discontinuity of Venus is a planetary-scale phenomenon known to be recurrent since, at least, 1980s. Interpreted as new type Kelvin wave, this disruption associated dramatic changes clouds’ opacity and distribution aerosols, it may constitute critical piece for our understanding thermal balance atmospheric circulation Venus. H...

One month’s worth of POLAR UVI data were subjected to a ‘‘blob’’ analysis to determine the statistical dynamics of substorm features observed in the LBHL band (152-188 nm). Adapted from similar DoD analyses of target images, the analysis consists of finding, on a frame-by-frame basis beginning at substorm onset, the following aspects of an individual auroral feature: peak power (i.e., power of ...

The first definitive observation that provided convincing evidence indicating certain turbulent space plasma processes are in states of “complexity” was the discovery of the apparent power-law probability distribution of solar flare intensities. Recent statistical studies of complexity in space plasmas came from the AE index, UVI auroral imagery, and in-situ measurements related to the dynamics...

The interpretation of structure in cusp ion dispersions is important for helping to understand the temporal and spatial structure of magnetopause reconnection. “Stepped” and “sawtooth” signatures have been shown to be caused by temporal variations in the reconnection rate under the same physical conditions for different satellite trajectories. The present paper shows that even for a single sate...

In this work, the influence of trimethylolpropane tris-(3-mercaptopropionate) and a vinyl epoxy compound (4-vinyl-1-cyclohexene 1,2-epoxide) over the photocuring and subsequent thermal curing of an epoxy resin (CYRACURE UVR-6105) is studied. The photoinitiator used is CYRACURE UVI-6976. The techniques used in this study have been DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) and FTIR (Fourier transfo...

[1] Using a comprehensive data set and model calculations, we have investigated a prominent large-scale traveling ionospheric disturbance (LSTID) observed in Japan ( 37 –16 MLAT) on 15 September 1999, during a recovery phase of sequential storms. The LSTID was detected at 2300–2400 LT (1400–1500 UT) as an enhancement of the 630-nm airglow intensity (50!350 R), a decrease in the F layer virtual ...

The material identified as Kiefferulus tendipediformis on the basis of the larval morphology consisted of two cytogenetically distinct species, which we called cytotype 1 (2n=8) (Bulgaria) and cytotype 2 (2n=6) (Poland). The karyotype and external morphology (larva, pupa and imago males) of Kiefferulus tendipediformis from pond on mine spoils in the Olkusz region with Zn-Pb ore deposits (Southe...
