1. ABSTRACT A new methodology to retrieve cloud optical properties using hyper-spectral infrared measurements is presented. The new method makes use of line by line multiple scattering (LbLMS) simulations to retrieve spectrally resolved cloud optical depths from spectral radiance data. The retrieval requires knowledge of the clear sky profile and cloud boundaries. The cloud microphysical proper...

In order to confirm the strong Van der Waals force in the nucleon-nucleon interaction, it is proposed to measure precisely the angular distribution of the cross section of the low energy (Tlab = 20 ∼ 30MeV.) proton-proton scattering. By using the spectrum of the long range interaction obtained from the analysis of the phase shift data of the S-wave of the p-p scattering, a characteristic interf...

Bushfircs are common in Australia. They cau:oemuch damage and considerable loss annually. However. some use could be made of these wildfires fer forest mapping if developments in colour and false-colour (colour infrared) aerial photography were more fully exploited. The advantages that colour and false-colour aerial photography have over pan~ chromatic minus-blue aerial photography are analyzed...

2-Cyanoethyldiazohydroxide is a likely product of metabolic a-hydroxylation of 3-(methylnitrosamino)propionitrile(MNPN). The reaction of 2-{Ar-carbethoxy-/V-nitrosamino)propionitrile, a stable precursor of 2cyanoethyldiazohydroxide, with deoxyguanosine, catalyzed by porcine liver esterase, was investigated. Two major deoxyguanosine adducts were produced. They were isolated by high-performance l...
