The International Ultraviolet Explorer was used to obtain spectra at both 7 Å and 0.2 Å resolution of the recurrent nova WZ Sagittae during its 1978 outburst. The first spectra were obtained on 1978 Dec 1.8 UT, approximately 0.7 days after discovery. The decay from outburst was followed until 1979 Jan 1, after which it was too near the Sun to be observed. A post-outburst spectrum was obtained on 1979 July 11. In this paper, preliminary results from the analysis of the low resolution spectra are discussed. These observations will be used to support the similarity between WZ Sge and dwarf novae and to test accretion disk models.

Three distinct kinds of rapid variations have been detected in the light curves of dwarf novae: rapid flickering, short period coherent oscillations, and quasi-periodic oscillations. The rapid flickering is seen in the light curves of most, if not all, dwarf novae, and is especially apparent during minimum light between eruptions. The flickering has a typical time scale of a few minutes or less and a typical amplitude of about .1 mag. The flickering is completely random and unpredictable; the power spectrum of flickering shows only a slow decrease from low to high frequencies. The observations of U Gem by Warner and Nather (1971) showed conclusively that most of the flickering is produced by variations in the luminosity of the bright spot near the outer edge of the accretion disk around the white dwarf in these close binary systems.

An accurate understanding of users' needs is essential for the development of innovative products. This article presents an exploratory method of user centered research in the context of the design process of technological products, conceived from the demands of a large information technology company. The method is oriented - but not restricted - to the initial stages of the product development process, and uses low-resolution prototypes and simulations of interactions, allowing users to imagine themselves in a future context through fictitious environments and scenarios in the ambit of ideation. The method is effective in identifying the requirements of the experience related to the product’s usage and allows rapid iteration on existing assumptions and greater exploration of design concepts that emerge throughout the investigation.

AbstractConventional direct methods, which work so well for small structures, are less successful for macromolecules. Where it has been demonstrated that a solution might be found using direct methods it is then found that the usual figures of merit are unable to distinguish the few good sets of phases from the large number of sets generated. The reasons for the difficulties with very large structures are considered from a first-principles approach taking into account both the factors of having a large number of atoms and low resolution data. A proposal is made for trying to recognize good phase sets by taking a large structure as a sum of a number of smaller structures for each of which a conventional figure of merit can be applied.
