Infrared polarimetry of the nucleus of Centaurus A - The nearest blazar?
(1986)
As one of the nearest examples of an active galaxy, NGC5128 (Centaurus A) has been studied in detail over a wide range of wavelengths. The nucleus of the galaxy is seen clearly in the X-ray, radio and infrared, but is ...
Age of onset of schizophrenia in siblings: A test of the contagion hypothesis
(1986)
The possibility that schizophrenia is horizontally transmitted has been assessed in an analysis of age of onset in 264 recorded pairs of siblings with the disease. Age of onset was found to be correlated between siblings, ...
Infrared polarimetry of the reflection nebula near L 1551 IRS 5
(1986)
The K-band polarization has been measured in the region extending 30 arcsec to the SW of L 1551 IRS 5. The degree of polarization is exceptionally high, reaching ≡67 per cent. The large polarizations and the azimuthal ...
The origin of the visual and infrared pulsations in the intermediate polar FO AQR (H2215-086)
(1986)
Simultaneous visual and infrared polarimetry of the intermediate polar FO Aqr (H2215-086) shows that its visual and infrared pulsations, seen at the rotation period of the white dwarf, are not circularly polarized. This ...
Spore dispersal in splash droplets
(Cambridge University Press, 1986)
Water is the solvent for metabolic processes, it participates directly in many biochemical reactions and has a vital skeletal function. It also plays a key role in the behaviour and spread of fungi. The chapters of this ...
The development of eyespot (Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides) lesions in winter wheat crops
(1986)
The development of eyespot (Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides) lesions on main shoots of plants in winter-sown wheat crops in 1981/82, 1982/83 and 1983/84 was studied by recording the incidence and penetration of leaf ...
Laser guiding of electron beams in the advanced test acceleration
(1986)
The recently demonstrated technique of laser guiding has been used to propagate successfully a 10-kA relativistic electron beam 95 m through the Advanced Test Accelerator and postaccelerator beamline. The maximum transverse ...
Routes to action in reaction time tasks
(1986)
Two-choice tactile RTs are no faster than 8-choice tasks, implying the existence of a direct route. However, simple tactile RTs are much faster than choice tactile RTs (Leonard, 1959). In Experiment I we show that this is ...
