Two Remarks on Kaehler Homogeneous Manifolds

We prove that every Kaehler solvmanifold has a finite covering whose holomorphic reduction is a principal bundle. An example is given that illustrates the necessity, in general, of passing to a proper covering. We also answer a stronger version of a question posed by Akhiezer for homogeneous spaces of nonsolvable algebraic groups in the case where the isotropy has the property that its intersection with the radical is Zariski dense in the radical.Comment: 9 page

Lateral variations in the crustal structure of the Indo-Eurasian collision zone

We thank Michael Ritzwoller and two anonymous reviewers for constructive comments that have helped improve the manuscript. The majority of the seismic data used in this study were downloaded from IRIS DMC. Data for the NGRI stations in India were provided by S. S. Rai, and Zahid Rafi provided the PMD Pakistan data. Kajal Borah provided the ambient noise cross-correlations for the Uttaranchal network. Figures were prepared using Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) software (Wessel and Smith, 1998). We thank Robert Herrmann for making the Computer Programs in Seismology freely available.Peer reviewedPublisher PD

Vacuum-stripped silicone binder for thermal-control paint

Silicone elastomer is placed in evacuating system, heated to 160 C and held at this temperature for 24 hours. Elastomer is then cooled to room temperature in vacuum, producing upgraded, low outgassing polymer of increased molecular weight
