OBJECTIVE To examine the plausibility of health claims for Eclipse, a novel smoking article being marketed by the RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company (RJR) as potentially reducing the risk of cancer and other diseases compared to conventional cigarettes. DATA SOURCES A company product website (www.eclipse.rjrt.com) summarising scientific studies of various versions of Eclipse, and the published revie...

A total eclipse occurred on 11 August 1999 with its path of totality passing over central Europe in the latitude range 40–50 N. The ionospheric responses to this eclipse were measured by a wide ionosonde network. On the basis of the measurements of foE, foF1, and foF2 at sixteen ionosonde stations in Europe, we statistically analyze the variations of these parameters with a function of eclipse ...

While many researchers have used Eclipse as a platform for developing software engineering and program analysis tools, Eclipse itself presents an excellent subject for analysis and study. Eclipse represents one of the biggest Java projects ever created. While surprisingly robust, Eclipse still suffers from serious bugs that lead to crashes and resource exhaustion. Eclipse is a collaborative dev...

Measurements of atmospheric temperature profiles in the troposphere and lower stratosphere were made over Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) (8.5 N, 76.9 E) during a partial solar eclipse (22 July 2009) and an annular solar eclipse (15 January 2010). It was observed that during the partial solar eclipse, the temperature decreased by 2–3 C in the vicinity of the tropopause and in...

O. Gruber B. J. Hargrave J. McAffer P. Rapicault T. Watson From its inception Eclipse was mainly designed to be a tooling platform, but with Version 3.0, Eclipse is now evolving toward a Rich Client Platform (RCP). This change, driven by the open-source community, brought a whole set of new requirements and challenges for the Eclipse platform, such as dynamic plug-in management, services, secur...

In this paper, we propose a novel Eclipse query which is more practical than the existing 1-NN query and skyline query. In addition, we present a few properties of Eclipse query and the general idea for computing Eclipse.

We report here on a series of medium resolution spectro-photometric observations of the enigmatic long period eclipsing binary epsilon Aurigae, during its eclipse interval 20092011, using near-infrared spectra obtained with SpeX on IRTF, mid-infrared spectra obtained with BASS on AOES and IRTF, MIRSI on IRTF and MIRAC4 on MMT, along with mid-infrared photometry using MIRSI on IRTF and MIRAC4 on...
