Pathfinder Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from Channel 1 (Red) and Channel 2 (near-infrared) of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) onboard NOAA 14 became abnormally high for the 10-day composite from February 11 to 20 in 1999 for Western Australia. There was a solar eclipse in the satellite path on February 16 about the same time when NOAA 14 was above the e...

Cloud application portability and optimal resource allocation are of great importance in the realm of Cloud infrastructure provisioning. c-Eclipse is an open-source Cloud Application Management Framework through which users are able to define the description, deployment and management phases of their Cloud applications in a clean and intuitive graphical manner. It is built on top of the well-es...

We present an analysis of the X-ray light curves of the magnetic cataclysmic variable DP Leo using recently performed XMM−Newton EPIC and archival ROSAT PSPC observations. We determine the eclipse length at X-ray wavelengths to be 235 ± 5 s, slightly longer than at ultraviolet wavelengths, where it lasts 225 s. The implied inclination and mass ratio for an assumed 0.6 M ⊙ white dwarf are i = 79...

The time elapsed between successful cell infection and the start of virus production is called the eclipse phase. Its duration is specific to each virus strain and, along with an effective virus production rate, plays a key role in infection kinetics. How the eclipse phase varies amongst cells infected with the same virus strain and therefore how best to mathematically represent its duration is...

KH 15D is a strongly variable T Tauri star in the young star cluster NGC 2264 that shows a decrease in flux of 3.5 mag lasting for 18 days and repeating every 48 days. The eclipsing material is likely due to orbiting dust or rocky bodies in a partial ring or warped disk that periodically occults the star. We measured the polarized spectrum in and out of eclipse at the Keck and Palomar observato...

Time-resolved, multi-epoch, Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet eclipse spectrophotometry is presented for the magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs) V1309 Ori, MN Hya, V2301 Oph, and V1432 Aql. Separation of the eclipse light curves into specific wavebands allows the multiple emission components to be distinguished. Accretion-heated photospheric spots are detected in V1309 Ori and V2301 Oph, ind...

Eclipse is a popular open-source software development workbench, and is suitable for the integration of experimental research tools. It includes a state-of-the-art plug-in technology, and so it can be considered as a platform for reusable components, or composition environment. We evaluate the Eclipse platform from this point of view, and discuss strengths and weaknesses of its plug-in

Eclipse is a heterogeneous multiprocessor architecture for high-performance media processing, including high-definition MPEG encoding/decoding. The scalable architecture framework concurrently executes media processing kernels in function-specific multi-tasking coprocessors and a media processor, communicating via on-chip memory. Eclipse instances combine application configuration flexibility w...

Abstract We report on an unusually bright observation of PSR J1720−0533 using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). The pulsar is in a black widow system that was discovered by Commensal Radio Astronomy FAST Survey (CRAFTS). By coincidence, scintillation maximum simultaneous with eclipse our observation, which allowed for precise measurements flux density variations,...
