[1] The Sun’s open magnetic field, magnetic flux dragged out into the heliosphere by the solar wind, varies by approximately a factor of 2 over the solar cycle. We consider the evolution of open solar flux in terms of a source and loss term. Open solar flux creation is likely to proceed at a rate dependent on the rate of photospheric flux emergence, which can be roughly parameterized by sunspot...

OBJECTIVE To search for a time parallelism between lunar and solar rotation cycles and calendar dates of attacks of pseudogout--chondrocalcinosis articularis (pyrophosphate arthropathy). METHODS Seventy-four documented attacks with known calendar dates of onset recorded in 16 patients of one family cluster between 1955 and 1995 were examined in this study. Their daily frequencies during the g...

The irradiance of the Sun changes slightly with the solar cycles. In this paper the variation of heliospheric current sheet tilt angle with the total solar irradiance is examined. The average value of the tilt angle, following both the radial and the classic models are considered at length with a view to re-look some interesting features. Intensity of protons and antiprotons in different solar ...

The growth of the U. S. and global solar energy industry depends on a strong relationship between science and engineering innovation, manufacturing, and cycles of policy design and advancement. The mixture of the academic and industrial engine of innovation that is Silicon Valley, and the strong suite of environmental policies for which California is a leader work together to both drive the sol...

• short-term inclement weather forecasting (for hurricanes, etc.), • contaminant plume forecasting in both urban environments (for coordinating emergency response) and battlefield environments (for coordinating troop movements), • long-term ocean current forecasting (for El Niño, climate change, etc.), and • MHD/plasma forecasting (for sunspot cycles, over terms of years, in order to plan space...

Throughout an activity cycle, magnetic structures rise to the stellar surface, evolve, and decay. Tracing their evolution on a corona allows us characterize X-ray cycles. However, directly mapping is feasible only for Sun, while such are spatially unresolved with present-day instruments coronae. We present here new method, implemented by us, that indirectly reproduces spectrum its variability s...

Linear stability analysis indicates that solar core is thermally stable for infinitesimal internal perturbations. For the first time, thermal metastabilities are found in the solar core when outer perturbations with significant amplitude are present. The obtained results show that hot bubbles generated by outer perturbations may travel a significant distance in the body of the Sun. These deep-o...
