This project will take advantage of Webb's high - resolution spectrographs to get the most sensitive and precise observations at wavelengths that specifically measure ices.

As one would expect, Nichols» theology is sound, precise, clearly argued, beautifully expressed, strewn with poignant connections and rich in insights, such as the observation that at the wedding feast at Cana, as the bridegroom fails to fulfil his traditional Palestinian - Jewish duty to provide wine, Jesus substitutes himself for the bridegroom (pp125 - 6); or the presentation of Christmas night as the dark night of our mystical unmaking and remaking (p66).

New and very precise observations using the HARPS spectrograph at the ESO 3.6 - metre telescope at La Silla, Chile, have now not only detected the motion of the spots due to the rotation of Ceres about its axis, but also found unexpected additional variations suggesting that the material of the spots is volatile and evaporates in sunlight.

Instruments are now so precise that radar observations can spot a single bee at about 30 miles away, and scientists can combine thermal imaging cameras, acoustic monitoring devices and small portable radars with weather radar data to get a complete picture of a region's ecology.

New observations reveal that the object weighs in at a whopping 6.6 billion suns, making it the most massive black hole for which a precise mass has ever been measured.

Firstly, for land - based volcanoes it is hard to carry out large - scale observations using artificial earthquakes because of the population density, and it is also difficult to detect giant magma buildups with precise visualization because they are often at relatively low depths (roughly 10 km).

We know from very precise supernova observations that the universe is accelerating, but at the same time we rely on coarse approximations to Einstein's equations which may introduce serious side - effects, such as the need for dark energy, in the models designed to fit the observational data.»

My view, and that of my colleagues at Chicago, Brian Fields and Craig Copi, is that the quality of the latest observations places strict constraints on all cosmological models and requires any new cosmological model to be as precise as the big bang model itself.

Taken together, these observation impinge on one central problem: the development of rational targeting strategies aimed at overcoming therapeutic resistance require the precise elucidation of the molecular mechanisms whereby carcinoma cells that undergo EMT acquire the functional traits that render them resistant to conventional therapy.

Our barycentric radial velocities, derived from observations taken at the KPNO 2.1 meter telescope, differ from... ▽ More We demonstrate the ability to measure precise stellar barycentric radial velocities with the dispersed fixed - delay interferometer technique using the Exoplanet Tracker (ET), an instrument primarily designed for precision differential Doppler velocity measurements using this technique.

Perhaps being ignored because the film is too unobtrusive and relaxed in its observations of primal human interaction to register against weightier fare at this time of year, Zachariah is at its most immediate when focused on Robbie's precise acting choices.

# 92 Spencer el al 2007 paper doesn't really support the precise mechanism proposed by Lindzen for Iris effect, but more simply observes a strong TOA negative correction associated with warming events at 20 ° S - 20 ° N (that is: in the 2000 - 2005 period of observation, the most significative warming episodes of the surface + low troposphere — 40 days or more — leads to a negative SW+LW cloud forcing at the top of the atmosphere).

The projections will provide more details about sea - level rise, for which observations show rates increasing, and should give a more precise estimate of the levels we will see at the end of the century.
