A new upper limit to the temporal variation of the rotation rate of the tachocline between 1994 and 2002
We have inverted most of the available rotational frequency splittings at intermediate degrees. Namely, LOWL data from 1994 to 2000, GONG data from 1995 to 2001...
A novel background reduction strategy for high level triggers and processing in gamma-ray Cherenkov detectors
Gamma ray astronomy is now at the leading edge for studies related both to fundamental physics and astrophysics. The sensitivity of gamma detectors is limited...
A novel biosensor for mercuric ions based on motor proteins
We explored the potential for use of the contractile proteins, actin and myosin, as biosensors of solutions containing mercury ions. We demonstrate that the...
A Novel Precise Method for Correcting the Temperature in Stellar Atmosphere Models
A mayor problem that arises in the computation of stellar atmosphere models is the self consistent determination of the temperature distribution via the...
A novel technique to characterize the merging channel of the galaxies
Most massive galaxies have grown their sizes during cosmic time. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this growth, being minor mergers the most...
A numerical laboratory for the diagnostics of stellar properties
In a recent paper (Crivellari et al., 2003) we summarized the principles of the algorithmic representation of the structure of a stellar atmosphere. We...
