Inverse-Compton emission from the lobes of 3C 353
(2008)X-ray emission due to inverse-Compton scattering of microwave background photons by electrons in the lobes of powerful radio galaxies has now been seen in a large number of objects. Combining an inverse-Compton model for ... -
Inverse-Compton Emission from the Lobes of 3C353
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008)Analysis of the radio synchrotron and X-ray inverse-Compton emission from radio-loud active galaxies allows us to determine their particle ac- celeration processes and electron energy spectra. Previous studies have provided ... -
Inversion with regularization for the retrieval of tropospheric aerosol parameters from multiwavelength lidar sounding
(2002-06-20)We present an inversion algorithm for the retrieval of particle size distribution parameters, i.e., mean (effective) radius, number, surface area, and volume concentration, and complex refractive index from multiwavelength ... -
Investigating a Robot as a Therapy Partner for Children with Autism
(2001)The aurora project is investigating the possibility of using a robotic platform as a therapy aid for--children with autism. Because of the nature of this disability, the robot could be beneficial in its ability--to present ... -
