Drift Distance in Aircraft Glyphosate Application Using Rice Plants as Indicators [PDF]
: This study aimed to evaluate the potential for glyphosate drift during aerial application using rice plants as sentinels, aiming to determine the effect of drift on irrigated rice crops.

Local Distance Indicators [PDF]
A summary is given of the calibration of the Cepheid scale required in the derivation of distances from observations at V and I, as in the HST work on extragalactic Cepheids. There is some evidence that a small metallicity correction may be necessary in deriving distances in this way.

CEPHEIDS AS DISTANCE INDICATORS: SOME CURRENT PROBLEMS
A general review is given of the calibration of the Cepheid distance scale, with particular reference to its use in the determination of H0. Emphasis is placed on the advantage of using a galactic calibration of the Cepheid scale, rather than relying on ...

Asymptotic Giant Branch Variables as Extragalactic Distance Indicators [PDF]
Large-amplitude asymptotic giant branch variables potentially rival Cepheid variables as fundamental calibrators of the distance scale, particularly if observations are made in the infrared, or where there is substantial interstellar obscuration.

SELECTION OF DIGITAL TOOLS FOR ORGANIZING STUDENTS' GROUP WORK IN DISTANCE EDUCATION
The transformation of classical education into distance education has become increasingly relevant, especially given the challenging conditions posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and military operations in our country.

Spiral galaxy distance indicators based on near-infrared photometry [PDF]
We compare two methods of distance determination to spiral galaxies using optical/near-infrared (NIR) observations, the (I-K) versus M_K colour - absolute magnitude (CM) relation and the I and K-band Tully-Fisher relation (TFR). Dust-free colours and NIR

AGB variables as distance indicators [PDF]
AbstractEvidence for the existence of Mira Period-Luminosity relations is reviewed including recent work on Miras with thick circumstellar shells. The calibration of the relation at K is discussed in detail. The nature of variables deviating from the PL relation and possible metallicity effects are also discussed.

The accuracy of stellar distances inferred purely from parallaxes degrades rapidly with distance. Proper motion measurements, when combined with some idea of typical velocities, provide independent information on stellar distances.

HST observations of the LMC field around SN87A: distance determinations with Red Clump and Tip of the Red Giant Branch stars [PDF]
We have used HST-WFPC2 multiband observations of a field around SN 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud to measure its distance from the Sun. The observations allowed us to carefully determine the interstellar extinction along the line of sight to a large

Travel Matrix Decomposition for Understanding Spatial Long-Distance Travel Structure
Mobile phone location data enable us to obtain accurate and temporally detailed long-distance travel distribution. However, the traditional long-distance travel distribution model cannot normally handle this detailed temporal information.
