Sixty eight rich men on the Steamer Portland. Stacks of yellow metal.

It's essentially a big microwave transmitter.

Tom doesn't have a microwave oven.

This is the WMAP microwave background that we see.

They are both equipped with several microwave sensors as well as an optical radiometer.

Professor Van Allen told me about observations of Venus, that there was intense microwave radiation.

It was in the microwave range, and it appeared to be coming from all directions simultaneously.

Metamaterials, unfortunately A, it only works on microwave, and B, it doesn't work all that well yet.

It may not seem that, but if you were a microwave, this is how you would view it.

Anguilla has a modern internal telephone system and a microwave relay to St. Maarten St. Martin for international calls.

Both satellites are equipped with microwave (radar) instrumentation which penetrates cloud cover and darkness and provides information 24 hours a day.

But what they're seeing, way out there in the far reaches of the microwave background, is this kind of odd undulation.

ADEOS II will have two core sensors developed by NASDA, namely the advanced microwave scanning radiometer (AMSR) and the Global Imager (GLI).

And those fluctuations were stretched to astronomical sizes, and those fluctuations eventually are the things we see in the cosmic microwave background.

In addition, ERS satellites carry an along track scanning radiometer (ATSR), a dual instrument constituted by an optical and a passive microwave radiometer.

Rays of light in this case, microwave light come in, and they just squish around the cell, and they come back the other side.

We've shown that it can fit all of the data that we have about the formation of galaxies, the fluctuations in the microwave background.

These predictions are in excellent agreement with observations by the WMAP satellite of the cosmic microwave background, which is an imprint of the very early universe.

It is a lot more sophisticated than a microwave oven, but it is basically boiling the water molecules in the very surface level of your skin.

The ATSR Microwave Sounder is a dual frequency passive radiometer, whose data are used primarily to correct radar altimeter measurements and to determine the atmospheric vapour content.

And it turns out Weiffenbach is kind of an expert in microwave reception, and he's got a little antennae set up with an amplifier in his office.

So now, you've got your pizza nights, you've got your microwave nights, you've got your grazing nights, you've got your fend for yourself nights and so on.

The motion of the local group of galaxies derived with respect to these galaxy clusters was significantly different from the one derived with respect to the cosmic microwave background.

NASA continued in FY 1994 to make strides in the field of Telemedicine, the practice of medicine across distances using a phone line, satellite, microwave or other telecommunications medium.

This is the noise that Penzias and Wilson heard the oldest sound that you're ever going to hear, the cosmic microwave background radiation left over from the Big Bang.

11. The principal instruments on board the satellites include (a) an Active Microwave Instrument (AMI), which comprises a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and a wind scatterometer (b) a radar altimeter (RA) (c) an along track scanning radiometer (ATSR), which comprises an infrared radiometer (IRR) and a microwave sounder (MWS) (d) precise range and range rate equipment (PRARE), presently functioning only on ERS 2 and (e) a laser retroreflector.

It was big enough to be transparent to light, and that's what we see in the cosmic microwave background that George Smoot described as looking at the face of God.

Called the scanning low frequency microwave radiometer, the new system is smaller than older ones and can be operated from small, single engine aircraft rather than the four engine C 130.

Consisting of a microwave radiometer, an infrared radiometer, a GPS instrument for locating measurements, and a computer, the new system can produce salinity maps at the rate of 100 square kilometers per hour.

AMSR is a microwave radiometer with six channels, from 6.6 to 89 gigahertz. Its observation targets are precipitation, cloud water, water vapour, sea surface temperature, ice distribution etc., all of which are concerned with water mutation.

The main radar equipment is the Active Microwave Instrument (AMI), which can be operated in an imaging mode as a side looking SAR, thereby providing high resolution image data in C band (5.3 GHz) at regional scales.

Scientists discovered this large scale flow by comparing the motion of the local group with respect to clusters versus the motion with respect to the cosmic microwave background, which is assumed to be a quot stationary quot reference.

The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS launched in 1991) continued, meanwhile, to make unprecedented measurements of global chlorine monoxide (ClO) concentration, observing the spatial relationships of ClO, ozone, temperature and other atmospheric variables.

Over the coming months, the Mission's logistical efforts will focus on the consolidation of force sustainment, including the provision of hardwall accommodation, the installation of a microwave network to sectors two and three, improving utility services and facilitating new force deployments.

It has made important confirmation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy first measured by the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), launched in 1989, and it has begun to make a finer scale map of the CMB than is possible with the smaller antennas of COBE.

The payloads of the satellite segment of both systems would be designed to monitor the land and ocean environment, the geosphere, hydrosphere and meteorological conditions, with the aid of visible, near infrared, microwave, short wave and thermal radiometers, synthetic aperture radar, radar altimeter and scattering lidar.

We use them to communicate, cook, and diagnose and cure disease. The unified theory of electromagnetism has led to profound advances across all physical science, from atomic physics (where lasers and masers are essential tools) to cosmology (where the microwave background radiation is our window on the Big Bang).

Because microwave radiation suffers very little attenuation in passing through clouds and rainfall (except very heavy thunderstorms), the ERS 1 and ERS 2 SARs provide images of the tropical areas that heretofore could not be thoroughly mapped with LANDSAT and SPOT because of the constant presence of clouds in the region.

Recent reports from France and Sweden find that those who have used mobile phones for ten or more years have double the risk of brain cancer. Also troubling is the fact that the limit for microwave emission from mobile phones is 500 times lower in Switzerland and China than in the US.

As indicated in the budget submission, the additional requirements of 1.9 million under communications are attributable to the need to procure and operate 10 satellite earth stations to be installed in 10 additional remote sites, 2 microwave links and 212 additional portable radios to be used by the additional military and police personnel.

The participants considered two test proposals (the Geostationary Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS) and the Geostationary Observatory for Microwave Atmospheric Sounding (GOMAS)) and concluded that they represented important opportunities for collaboration on enhancing the Global Observing System, with capabilities identified as crucial in the evolution of the World Weather Watch Global Observing System.

There was an egg, a tomato, a head of lettuce and a pumpkin, and they all lived in this refrigerator city, and in one of their adventures they went to a haunted house that was filled with so many dangers like an evil blender who tried to chop them up, an evil toaster who tried to kidnap the bread couple, and an evil microwave who tried to melt their friend who was a stick of butter.
