Analytical Solutions for Groundwater Response to Earth Tides in Thick Semiconfined Aquifers
Abstract The tidal behavior of a well in semiconfined aquifers can be described by a diffusion equation including a leakage term. This approach is valid for thin aquifers, as long as the aquitard has low permeability relative to the aquifer. However, in cases where the aquifer is thick and the permeability of the aquitard is not low, using the existing

The celestial globe of Gerbert of Aurillac: its place in the history of celestial cartography
This paper examines how the celestial globe designed by Gerbert d'Aurillac at the end of the 10 th century fits into the long history of mapping the stars. After a short explanation of the two main branches of celestial cartography, the construction of a semi-sphere with sighting tubes, described in a letter of Gerbert to Constantine of Fleury, is ...

Abstract Several English‐language adaptations of the Indian epic Rāmāyaṇa have been published since the beginning of the 21st century. The epic has been regarded and recreated as a metonym for the Indian nation.

PAINTING HISTORY: PICTURE, WITNESS, AND ANCIENT HISTORIOGRAPHY
ABSTRACT This article treats an analogy that is used persistently in the history of historiography: the equation of historiography with painting and the identification of the historiographer with the painter. In examining the conceptual stakes of this (auto)identification, the article mobilizes the analogy in order to explore larger issues of ...

Cross‐Polarization Gain Calibration of Linearly Polarized VLBI Antennas by Observations of 4C 39.25
Abstract Radio telescopes with dual linearly polarized feeds regularly participate in Very Long Baseline Interferometry. One example is the VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS), which is employed for high‐precision geodesy and astrometry. In order to achieve the maximum signal‐to‐noise ratio, the visibilities of all four polarization products are ...
