The accretion disc eclipse mapping method is an astrotomographic inversion technique that makes use of the information contained in eclipse light curves to probe the structure, the spectrum and the time evolution of accretion discs in cataclysmic variables. This paper presents examples of eclipse mapping results that have been key to improve our understanding of accretion physics.

Receptor activities of HeLa cells were evaluated for ability to both attach and eclipse enteroviruses after exposure of cells to acid or heat. A modified procedure of acid (pH 1.5) elution of cell-associated virus, as compared with other procedures, provided a general method for the optimal recovery of receptor-bound enteroviruses. With this procedure, eclipse of virus operationally was conside...

Solar eclipses provide a rapidly changing solar radiation environment. These changes can be studied using simple photodiode sensors, if the radiation reaching the sensors is unaffected by cloud. Transporting the sensors aloft using standard meteorological instrument packages modified to carry extra sensors, provides one promising but hitherto unexploited possibility for making solar eclipse rad...

We propose DEVS-Driven Modeling Language (DDML), a graphical notation for DEVS modeling and an Eclipse-based graphical editor, Eclipse-DDML. DDML attempts to bridge the gap between expert modelers and domain experts making it easy to model systems, and capture the static, dynamic, and functional aspects of a system. At the same time, it unifies C-DEVS and P-DEVS models. DDML integrates excellen...

We present an approach to providing broad-based accessibility to graphical applications by employing the capabilities of the Eclipse development platform and aspect oriented programming (AOP) in a way that leverages the strengths of each. We describe the Eclipse platform and the advantages of AOP and contrast AOP with object oriented programming (OOP). Then, we discuss how to use of Eclipse fra...
