Focal waveform of a prolate-spheroidal impulse radiating antenna (IRA)
Impulse Radiating Antennas (IRAs) are designed to radiate very fast pulses in a narrow beam with low dispersion and high field amplitude. For this reason they have been used in a variety of applications. IRAs have been developed for the transient far-field region using paraboloidal reflectors. …

VALUING CHANGES IN THE PROVISION OF A PUBLIC GOOD: EMPIRICAL APPLICATIONS IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH ECONOMICS
… in the form of Inventoried Roadless Areas (IRAs), in the Southwest United States (US). IRAs are defined as Public Forest or Grasslands exceeding 5,000 acres that are undeveloped areas with little or no timber harvest and no human construction (USDA 2001a). In light of the current legal …

A study of the infrared emission of galactic supernova remnants
… success of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) in 1983. The first part of this thesis attempts to find the general characteristics of the IR emission of SNRs. A survey of the known galactic SNRs in the IRAS database has been completed. It is found that only one third of the galactic SNRs …

The Role of Fto-Gene In Adiposity and Insulin Resistance: Interaction With Diet and Physical Activity
… Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS) and the IRAS Family Study cohorts. We observed significant statistical interactions between FTO polymorphisms and red and processed meat on waist circumference in Hispanics. No evidence for gene-diet interaction was obtained in whites. We also …

An investigation of Nova Persei (1901) and its environment
… (Nova Persei 1901) has been investigated using IRAS far-infrared and optical observations, coupled with detailed modelling of the optical light echoes. Measurements of the time-dependent expansion of the nova ejecta show that significant deceleration is occurring in the SW quadrant, otherwise …

A study of cosmic dust in the galactic environment
… in the midinfrared, with the ratio of the IRAS 12 micron intensity to the IRAS 25 micron intensity varying by up to one order of magnitude. We find that hydrogen column density strongly correlates with the far-infrared emission, this indicates the presence of large grains of similar …

Compact Galactic Neutral Hydrogen Clouds in the GALFA-HI Survey
… support our population definitions. Using both IRAS and the newly released Planck data, we found no dust detections in the high-velocity clouds, or the warm positive low-velocity clouds in the third Galactic quadrant. We claim that the third quadrant clouds are low-velocity halo clouds. The warm …
