We present initial results of an ongoing search for interferometric calibrators at submillimeter (sub-mm) wavelengths with the Submillimeter Array (SMA). Powerful radio galaxies are commonly used as calibrators at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths, but many are not strong enough to serve as calibrators at sub-mm wavelengths because of their rapidly declining flux densities toward shorter wa...

abstract: the dust is one of the weather phenomena that have negative environmental effects and consequences. the central city of ahvaz in khuzestan province is one of cities that in every year witnessed the dust in its environment. in this study, after determining that the dust phenomena data are abnormal, using the sen's nonparametric model been proceed to modeling of changes and survey ...

Drivers in urban neighborhoods who patrol streets, seeking inexpensive on-street parking create a significant fraction of measured traffic congestion. The pool of drivers patrolling at any time can be modeled as a queue, where ‘queue service’ is the act of parking in a recently vacated parking space and queue discipline is SIRO – Service In Random Order. We develop a queueing model of such driv...

mineral dust can directly affect the solar and terrestrial radiation in both visible and infrared (ir) spectral regions through scattering and absorption processes. due to specific optical properties of dust particles, satellite observed radiances carry the spectral signatures of dust particles that are different from molecular, cloud, and underlying surface. based on these differences, various...

limestone, exploited near bielawy, a town located in the kujawsko-pomorskie province ofpoland, is the main raw material in the production process in a cement plant. the dust emitted by the factory is of alkaline ph and contains such heavy metals as: cadmium (cd), lead (pb), chromium (cr) and nickel (ni). the research aims at assessing the influence of cement dust on the total content and bioava...
