Constellation

The Earth and other planets form a plane around the Sun called the ecliptic and the motion of all of the planets, including the Sun and the Moon, appears on this 

Lhe Sun are called the signs of the Zodiac, a word derived from the Greek for zoo that refers to the constellations taking animal names and shapes in this region of the night sky. 

Diameter of central bulge Diameter of the halo of stars and clusters around the centre bulge Thickness of the disc at the Sun s position Number of stars Typical density of stars Average density Luminosity Absolute magnitude 

With the assumption, and it is a big assumption, that the rate of expansion of the Universe has been constant, then the time of expansion so far is given by  

The age of the Universe is the inverse of the Hubble constant. The system of units must first be rationalised to convert all of the light-years into kilometres and then years, so that

The linkage of the properties of the imaging system and of the properties of the entire radioscopic system, including the geometrical imaging constellations, with the user-demanded detail detectability is brought about in two steps. 

Ironically, the word Arctic comes from the ancient Greeks, who understood that the northernmost part of the earth lay under the stars of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. Although unaware of the polar bear, they called this region Arktikos, which means the country of the great bear. ...

A constellation of genes code for PBPs of varying amino acid sequences and functionalities. PBPs occur as free-standing polypeptides and as protein fusions. This combinatorial system of structural modules results in a large increase in diversity. 

It is interesting to note that independent, direct calculations of the PMC transients by Ramakrishna and Rangarajan (the time-dependent generation term considered in the transport equation and solved by Laplace transformation) have yielded an analogous inverse root dependence of the PMC transient lifetime on the electrode potential.37 This shows that our simple derivation from stationary equations is sufficiently reliable. It is interesting that these authors do not discuss a lifetime maximum for their formula, such as that observed near the onset of photocurrents (Fig. 22). Their complicated formula may still contain this information for certain parameter constellations, but it is applicable only for moderate flash intensities. 

Example 48 The result is thus CL(/4) = 7.390 0.028 mM/g, and should be either left as given or rounded to one significant digit in C1 7.39 0.03 The %-variance contributions are given in parentheses (Eq. (4.24)). Note that the analytical method with the best precision (titrimetry), because of the particular numerical constellation, here gives rise to the largest contribution (77%). 

The fortunate constellation of scientists at Wisconsin facilitated further achievements toward increasing pigment content in red beets. In a recurrent selection program, betalain contents of red beet crops were enhanced by 200%. This example should encourage both food scientists and plant breeders to join forces and invest in the improvement of promising color crops. 

Patients with multiple risk factors, particularly those with diabetes, are at the greatest risk for IHD. Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of cardiovascular risk factors related to hypertension, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin... 

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a constellation of symptoms including mild mood disturbance and physical symptoms that occur prior to menses and resolve with initiation of menses. It is estimated that up to 70% of menstruating women experience symptoms of PMS. However, a spectrum of premenstrual mood disturbances exists and the most severe is premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Approximately 4% to 7% of women have PMDD. A summary of the American Psychiatric Association s criteria for PMDD is as follows1,21 ...
