A data base of synthetic photometry in the GALEX ultraviolet bands for the stellar sources observed with the International Ultraviolet Explorer
The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) has produced the largest photometric
catalogue of ultraviolet (UV) sources. As such, it has defined the new standard
bands for UV photometry: the near UV band (NUV) and the far UV band (FUV).
However, due to brightness limits, the GALEX mission has avoided the Galactic
plane which is crucial for astrophysical research and future space missions.
The International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite obtained 63,755 spectra
in the low dispersion mode during its 18 years lifetime. We have derived the
photometry in the GALEX bands for the stellar sources in the IUE Archive to
extend the GALEX data base with observations including the Galactic plane.Good
quality spectra have been selected for all IUE classes of stellar sources. The
GALEX FUV and NUV magnitudes have been computed using the GALEX transmission
curves, as well as the conversion equations between flux and magnitudes
provided by the mission (galexgi.gsfc.nasa.gov). Consistency between GALEX and
IUE synthetic photometries has been tested using White Dwarfs (WD) contained in
both samples. The non-linear response performance of GALEX inferred from this
data agrees with the results from GALEX calibration. The photometric data base
is made available to the community through the services of the Centre de
Donn\'ees Stellaires at Strasbourg (CDS). The catalogue contains FUV magnitudes
for 1,631 sources, ranging from FUV=1.81 to FUV=18.65 mag. In the NUV band, the
catalogue includes observations for 1,005 stars ranging from NUV = 3.08 to NUV=
17.74 mag . UV photometry for 1,493 not included in the GALEX AIS GR5 catalogue
is provided; most of them are hot (O-A spectral type) stars. The sources in the
catalogue are distributed over the full sky, including the Galactic plane.Comment: Submitted to Astronomy & Astrophysic
Krooniline vĂ€simussĂŒndroom
VĂ€simust vĂ”ib defineerida kui kurnatusetunnet ning energia puudumist. Kroonilise vĂ€simuse nĂ€ol on tegemist vĂ€ga ĂŒldise nĂ€htusega, sageli kaasneb see erinevate haigustega ja on ajutine. Kroonilise vĂ€simussĂŒndroomi (KVS) all peetakse silmas seisundit, mille korral keskseks kaebuseks on ĂŒle kuue kuu kestnud vĂ€simustunne. SĂŒndroomi kriteeriumite hulka kuulub ka muid sĂŒmptomeid, nĂ€iteks lihaste valulikkus, kuid puuduvad viited orgaanilisele haigusele.

Elokuvan viesti : sisÀistekijÀ elokuvan The Happening katsomistilanteessa
Kirjallisessa opinnaÌytetyoÌssaÌni tarkastelen tekijaÌn intentioiden merkitystaÌ elokuvan tulkinnan muodostumisessa. Kerronnan vaÌlineen ja oman suhteen siihen ymmaÌrtaÌminen auttaa tarkastelemaan elokuvan muodostumista etaÌaÌmmaÌltaÌ. EritellaÌkseni tekijaÌaÌ, katsojaa ja elokuvaa toisistaan kaÌytaÌn esimerkkinaÌ M. Night Shyamalanin elokuvaa The Happening (2008).
Tulkinnan ja selvityksen tukena kaÌytaÌn narratologiasta ja kirjallisuustieteestaÌ peraÌisin olevaa sisaÌistekijaÌn kaÌsitettaÌ. SelvitaÌn mitaÌ se tarkoittaa ja minkaÌlainen yksinkertainen kommunikaation paradigma sisaÌltyy narratiiviseen taideteokseen.In my thesis I examine the relevancy of authorâs intentions to the interpretation of film. To specify the factors between viewer, author and film I use M. Night Shyamalans The Happening (2008) as an example piece.
For support in interpretation and analysis I use the concept of implied author originating from the fields of narratology and comparative literature. And Iâll find out what kind of communication paradigm includes narrative work of art
Luomu- ja lÀhiruoka-aamiaisten suunnittelu, toteutus ja seuranta yritys X:ssÀ
OpinnĂ€ytetyö toteutettiin toimeksiantona yritys X:ÀÀn. Yritys X halusi vastata asiakkaiden tarpeisiin âkehittĂ€mĂ€llĂ€ jo olemassa olevien aamiaisten rinnalle sekĂ€ luomu- ettĂ€ lĂ€hiruokaaamiaisen.lisĂ€ksi âopinnĂ€ytetyön tavoitteena oli tarkastella luomu- ja lĂ€hiruoka-aamiaisten myyntiĂ€ touko-joulukuun 2009 âajalta. OpinnĂ€ytetyön pÀÀongelmaksi muodostui, miten suunnitellaan, toteutetaan ja seurataan luomu- ja âlĂ€hiruoka-aamiaisia yritys X:ssĂ€. OpinnĂ€ytetyön teoriaosassa kĂ€sitellÀÀn puolestaan luomu- ja lĂ€hiruokaa, âtuotesuunnitteluprosessia ja palveluyrityksenmarkkinoinnin kilpailukeinoja.â
Uusien palvelutuotteiden suunnittelu aloitettiin joulukuussa 2008. Suunnittelu eteni âtuotesuunnitteluprosessin mukaisesti alkaen ideoinnista ja pÀÀttyen tuotteen lanseeraukseen âhuhtikuussa 2009. TĂ€mĂ€n jĂ€lkeen myyntiĂ€ seurattiin yritys X:ssĂ€ kuukausiraporttien perusteella touko-âjoulukuun 2009 aikana. Myynti oli alkukuukausina vĂ€hĂ€istĂ€ johtuen heikosta mainonnasta.Yritys X:ÀÀn tuli âuusista aamiaisista ensimmĂ€inen pysyvĂ€ mainos lokakuussa 2009. Mainonnan avulla luomu- ja lĂ€hiruoka-âaamiaisten menekki parani selvĂ€sti. Vaikka opinnĂ€ytetyössĂ€ ei tutkittu asiakkaiden mielipiteitĂ€ uusista âaamiaisista, saivat ne suullisesti hyvÀÀ palautetta.â
OpinnĂ€ytetyöstĂ€ hyötyivĂ€t sekĂ€ yritys X, ettĂ€ sen asiakkaat. Yritys X sai luomu- ja lĂ€hiruoka-aamiaisten âavulla lisĂ€myyntiĂ€ ja keinon erottua kilpailijoista. Asiakkaat saivat puolestaan uusien aamiaisten avulla âtĂ€ytettyĂ€ tarpeensa.âDesigning and realizing organic and locally produced breakfasts and monitoring their sales in company X
The thesis was assigned by company X. Company X wanted to meet the needs of the customers by developing âboth organic and locally produced breakfasts to complete the present supply of breakfasts. Another objective of âthe thesis was to monitor the sales of these two breakfast products between May and December 2009. The main âresearch problem of the thesis was how to design, realize and monitor the sales of the organic and locally âproduced breakfasts in company X. Organic and locally produced food, the product development process and âthe competitive weapons in the marketing of services are issues discussed in the theoretical part of the thesis.â
The design of the new service products began in December 2008. The planning advanced according to the âservice product design, beginning with the creation, and ending with the launch of the new products in April ââ2009. After the launch sales were monitored with monthly reports between May and December 2009. Sales âwere low during the initial months due to the lack of promotion. The first permanent advertisement of the new âbreakfasts was installed in company X in October 2009. The sales of the organic and locally produced âbreakfasts improved clearly as an effect of increased promotion. Although the thesis did not study customer âopinions of the new breakfasts, it was noted that verbal feedback was good.â
The thesis was a benefit for both company X and its customers. The organic and locally produced breakfasts âgave company X both additional sales and competitive advantage. The customers were able to fulfill their needs âwith the new breakfasts.
Breeding biology and long-term population dynamics of the Pied Flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca in Skibotn, Northern Norway
Abstract. The breeding biology and population dynamics of the Pied Flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca in pine, mixed and deciduous forests in Skibotn, Northern Norway (69°20âN, 20°20âE), was studied during 33 years (1987â2019; in total 1775 completed first clutches). It was a period during which summer temperatures remained relatively stable, but late spring (May) temperatures tended to become warmer. The number of breeding pairs declined over the study period but varied less than in populations living in more harsh subalpine environments. In spite of the northern location, females started to lay eggs in a relatively late phenological phase of the environment and in relatively warm weather. The date of birch leafing and the date of egg-laying advanced during the study period, and they correlated with each other. Mean clutch size was 6.4 eggs, and mean number of fledglings/nest 4.6. Date of egg-laying was earlier and clutch size larger in deciduous forests than in pine and mixed forests, but this did not translate into better fledgling productivity. The main causes of nesting failure were predation by small mustelids and starvation in warm and dry summers. However, in the long run the population seemed to be able to maintain itself without immigration, i.e., act as a source population. The possibility that during warm climate periods of the past, breeding biology and population dynamics of Pied Flycatchers over large geographical areas might have resembled those in Skibotn is discussed.
