Radial-velocity measurements and sine-curve fits to the orbital radial velocity variations are presented for ten close binary systems: OO Aql, CC Com, V345 Gem, XY Leo, AM Leo, V1010 Oph, V2612 Oph, XX Sex, W UMa, and XY UMa. Most of these binaries have been observed spectroscopically before, but our data are of higher quality and consistency than in the previous studies. While most of the stud...

We compare the performances of two diierent routing schemes for LEO satellite networks through simulation. The rst one is a dynamic routing scheme based on the shortest-path algorithm. Its routing table is updated according to cost estimation based on link status information that is broadcasted periodically. The second one is an optimal routing scheme proposed by the authors of this paper, wher...

This book originated in the regular meetings of several of the contributors scientists of such diverse disciplines as philosophy, anthropology, ethics, physics, methodology, and quantum mechanics. During these meetings, the basic themes that are represented in the book were discussed. The meetings were organised as part of the activities of the research community “The construction of Integratin...

In a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite mobile multimedia system, the multiple access scheme should be capable of supporting the necessary features that would facilitate the provision of multimedia services. Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) is an attractive multiple access scheme for mobile multimedia communications based on LEO satellites. In this paper, the performance of WCDMA sys...
