A novel method to infer logical relationships between sets is presented. These sets can be any collection of elements, for example astronomical catalogs of celestial objects. The method does not require the contents of the sets to be known explicitly. It combines incomplete knowledge about the relationships between sets to infer a priori unknown relationships. Relationships between sets are represented by sets of Boolean hypercubes. This leads to deductive reasoning by application of logical operators to these sets of hypercubes. A pseudo code for an efficient implementation is described. The method is used in the Astro-WISE information system to infer relationships between catalogs of astronomical objects. These catalogs can be very large and, more importantly, their contents do not have to be available at all times. Science products are stored in Astro-WISE with references to other science products from which they are derived, or their dependencies. This creates a full data lineage that links every science product all the way back to the raw data. Catalogs are created in a way that maximizes knowledge about their relationship with their dependencies. The presented algorithm is used to determine which objects a catalog represents by leveraging this information. 相似文献

We extract a temporal sequence of the 1355 UT 4 July, 1974 event from monochromatic filtergrams in Na light obtained in Rome on the McMath region No. 13043-July 1974. It is, to our knowledge, the first temporal sequence of a flare seen through a narrow-band filter (80 mÅ) in the Na-D lines. Due to the properties of Na filtergrams we could also derive quite easily the exact relative position among sunspots, magnetic fields and flare-knots. The last result is indeed a very useful tool when studying an active region. For the McMath No. 13043 we were able to infer some interesting remarks about the magnetic pattern at the flaring site. 相似文献

Szebehely’s equation is a first order partial differential equation relating a given family of orbits f (x, y) = q traced
by a unit mass material point, the total energy E=E(f), and the unknown potential V=V (x, y) which produces the family. Although
linear in V, this equation cannot generally be solved. In this paper we develop the reasoning for finding several cases for
which Szebehely’s equation can be solved by quadratures.

Tube‐shaped beads excavated from grave pits at the prehistoric Gerzeh cemetery, approximately 3300 BCE, represent the earliest known use of iron in Egypt. Using a combination of scanning electron microscopy and micro X‐ray microcomputer tomography, we show that microstructural and chemical analysis of a Gerzeh iron bead is consistent with a cold‐worked iron meteorite. Thin fragments of parallel bands of taenite within a meteoritic Widmanstätten pattern are present, with structural distortion caused by cold‐working. The metal fragments retain their original chemistry of approximately 30 wt% nickel. The bulk of the bead is highly oxidized, with only approximately 2.4% of the total bead volume remaining as metal. Our results show that the first known example of the use of iron in Egypt was produced from a meteorite, its celestial origin having implications for both the perception of meteorite iron by ancient Egyptians and the development of metallurgical knowledge in the Nile Valley. 相似文献

Biogeography, the study of organismal distribution, adheres to the same basic reasoning no matter where organisms are distributed. Wickramasinghe and Wickramasinghe (Astrophys. Space Sci. doi:10.1007/s10509-008-9851-2), however, are possibly the first to propose a mechanism of distribution for extraterrestrial organisms, thus venturing into the uncharted realm of astrobiogeography. The same logic used in the study of distributions on Earth applies to those of extraterrestrial microbes. Herein we attempt to introduce some pitfalls common in biogeography for those venturing into the new study of astrobiogeography. 相似文献

A connection between climate and the Solar system's motion perpendicular to the Galactic plane during the last 200 Myr years is studied. An imprint of galactic dynamics is found in a long‐term record of the Earth's climate that is consistent with variations in the Solar system oscillation around the Galactic midplane. From small modulations in the oscillation frequency of Earth's climate the following features of the Galaxy along the Solar circle can be determined: 1) the mass distribution, 2) the timing of two spiral arm crossings (31 Myr and 142 Myr) 3) Spiral arm/interarm density ratio (ρ arm/ρ interarm ≈ 1.5–1.8), and finally, using current knowledge of spiral arm positions, a pattern speed of ΩP = 13.6 ± 1.4 km s–1 kpc–1 is determined.

A summary of major solar proton events 总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9
Solar proton events have been routinely detected by satellites since the 20th solar cycle; however, before that time only very major proton events were detected at the Earth. Even though the detection thresholds differed between the 19th and more recent cycles, more than 200 solar proton events with a flux of over 10 particles (cm2 s ster)–1 above 10 MeV have been recorded at the Earth in the last three solar cycles. At least 15% of these events had protons with energies greater than 450 MeV detected at the Earth. Other than an increase in solar proton event occurrence with increasing solar cycle, no recognizable pattern could be identified between the occurrence of solar proton events and the solar cycle. The knowledge we have gained from the data acquired over the past 40 years illustrates the difficulty in extrapolating back in time to infer the number and intensity of major solar proton events at the Earth.The U.S. Government retains a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to publish or reproduce the published form of this contribution, or allow others to do so, for U.S. Government purposes. 相似文献

This paper is aimed to investigate 5D holographic dark energy (HDE) in DGP-Brane cosmology by employing a combination of Sne Ia, BAO and CMB observational data and constraining cosmological parameters. The FRW dynamics for the normal branch (?=+1) solution of induced gravity brane-world model is taken with the assumption that matter in 5D bulk is HDE such that its holographic nature is reproduced effectively in 4D universe. In the HDE model, we used Hubble horizon as IR cutoff instead of future event horizon. This way, while the model predicts current universe acceleration, it also removes the problem of circular reasoning and causality observed in using future event horizon as IR cutoff. 相似文献

Solar flares strongly influence space weather and human activities,and their prediction is highly complex. The existing solutions such as data based approaches and model based approaches have a common shortcoming which is the lack of human engagement in the forecasting process. An image-case-based reasoning method is introduced to achieve this goal. The image case library is composed of SOHO/MDI longitudinal magnetograms, the images from which exhibit the maximum horizontal gradient, the length of the neutral line and the number of singular points that are extracted for retrieving similar image cases. Genetic optimization algorithms are employed for optimizing the weight assignment for image features and the number of similar image cases retrieved. Similar image cases and prediction results derived by majority voting for these similar image cases are output and shown to the forecaster in order to integrate his/her experience with the final prediction results. Experimental results demonstrate that the case-based reasoning approach has slightly better performance than other methods,and is more efficient with forecasts improved by humans. 相似文献

A clearly evident large-scale pattern in the interplanetary magnetic field during 1964 is used to search for a similar large-scale pattern in the solar magnetic field. It is found that such a pattern did exist in the photospheric field observations on both sides of the equator over a range of at least 40°N to 35°S. The pattern is basically similar at all these latitudes, and differs from that to be expected from solar differential rotation in three important respects. It is found that the solar magnetic pattern changed at all latitudes investigated within an interval of a few solar rotations. 相似文献

A common explanation is offered of the facts that the (outer) planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (i) have ring systems inside their magnetospheres, (ii) show alternating atmospheric super- and sub-rotation in latitude belts, and (iii) have great (coloured) whirling spots in their atmospheres, at latitudes of maximal shear flow. The common reason, so we argue, is the action of magnetic torques between the various ring systems in non-synchronous rotation which drive electric currents, help ionize the orbiting gas, and redistribute angular momentum. Very similar reasoning has been used earlier – though incorrect in detail – to explain the complicated system of torsional oscillations in the solar convection zone. 相似文献

One of the possible bar formation mechanisms in the disks of galaxies was proposed by Lynden-Bell (1979). The presumed amplification of a weak seed oval stellar surface density perturbation in the central regions of the galaxy through the alignment of the major axes of precessing elliptical orbits underlies it. According to his qualitative reasoning, the orbits are aligned along the perturbation if the precession rate diminishes with decreasing angular momentum at a constant adiabatic invariant. Using a rigorous approach based on finding the system’s stable stationary points, we show that this condition is not the only one that determines the orbit alignment orientation. The orbit precession direction in the unperturbed potential and the rate of decrease of the bar potential amplitude with radius also turn out to be important. In some cases, the latter can even be more important. 相似文献

An historical account is given of the development of our knowledge concerning the processes controlling the emission of the λ 5577 and λλ6300, 6364 lines of oxygen and the λλ5198, 5201 lines of nitrogen in the nightglow. Only in the case of the last can the processes be regarded as fully established. It is not yet known whether the emission of the oxygen green line from near the 100 km level follows the three-body process of Chapman (1931) or the two stage mechanism of Barth (1962, 1964). The pattern of the processes germane to the pre-twilight enhancement of the oxygen red doublet is not clear. 相似文献

A new algorithm is proposed to determine the flat pattern from a set of relatively shifted images. It simultaneously searches
for the flat pattern, the object image, the light levels, and optionally the relative displacements that optimize the sum
of the error squares. We have applied the method to real Hα observations, and examined in detail the dependence of the accuracy
of the solution on the iteration number, the light level change, the dither pattern, and the noise. It has been found that
the method can produce a flat pattern with an error down to 0.25% of the mean level in Hα observations with low noise. 相似文献

A number of groups have reported significant reduction in the flux of low energy (0.1–3 MeV) γ-rays in observations carried out during the past total solar eclipses. However, the contribution of the radon induced radioactivity to the overall γ-ray background can become substantial, especially during episodes of rain. Depending upon the pattern of the rainfall radon induced γ-ray background may vary significantly on time scales of ∼10 min, making the interpretation of the data in terms of an extraterrestrial effect such as a total solar eclipse rather difficult. A reliable estimate of the low energy terrestrial γ-ray (TGR) background is necessary before attempting to measure the possible contribution of any extraterrestrial phenomenon. The knowledge of the precise energies and branching ratios of radon and other radio-isotope induced γ-rays was exploited to accurately reproduce the TGR background, even in the presence of a large and variable contribution from radon induced radioactivity from fresh rain water. The measurement of the TGR background has paved the way for studying the variation of the soft γ-ray flux during the long duration total solar eclipse that occurred on 22 July 2009 in the middle of the Monsoon season in India. 相似文献

Although, we have no quantitative arguments to prove, but we have good reasoning to believe that the Oort clouds existed surrounding the planets. The short period comets, Apollo-Amor-Toro-asteroids and such other objects may be the relics of the Oort clouds that had existed surrounding the planets long ago. 相似文献

Tidal deformation of the lithosphere of a synchronously rotating planet or satellite produces stresses that may result in a distinctive tectonic pattern. The lithosphereis treated as a thin elastic shell which maintains the equilibrium shape of a tidally distorted body. Stresses develop as the equilibrium shape changes during orbital evolution. E. M. Anderson's theory of faulting is used to translate this stress pattern into a tectonic pattern of faults on the planet's surface (The Dynamics of Faulting, Oliver & Boyd, Edinburgh, 1951). On a body such as the Moon, which has receded from the Earth, an originally large tidal bulge has collapsed. The predicted tectonic pattern includes N-S striking thrust faults over an area extending roughly 30° in latitude and longitude around the sub-Earth point and its antipode. The polar regions above roughly 70° latitude exhibit normal faults striking from the near side of the Moon toward the far side. Strike slip faults, with offsets consistent with east-west compression, occur near the limbs. Stress differences are largest at the equator on the limbs, and may have reached several hundreds bars over the last few billion years of the Moon's history. The existence of such a tectonic pattern on the Moon can only be resolved by photogeologic mapping. At present, there is little evidence of this pattern; however, the crucial evidence probably lies in the poorly mapped lunar polar regions. These tectonic patterns, which could provide geologic evidence for large tidal distortions, may also be present on the Galilean satellites of Jupiter. 相似文献

Plots of sporadic E vs height show clear evidence for semidiurnal winds with maximum amplitude in local summer. A combination of 2,2, 2,3 and 2,4 mode winds represents the type of pattern observed. This system while strongest in local summer also occurs weakly in other seasons. In winter one sees a combination of a weak pattern arising in the winter hemisphere plus the effects of the pattern from the summer hemisphere. 相似文献

A new quantitative zebra pattern observation is reported. The mean amplitude ratio of the emission and absorption features of the irregular zebra pattern observed simultaneously with and related to an increased continuum is Q = 3. This is not contradictory to a zebra pattern model in terms of whistler soliton propagation throughout the source of continuum emission. 相似文献
