On 27 September 1926 the learned world was startled by a letter from Monsieur Salomon Reinach, published in The Times. The writer expressed the opinion that the Palaeolithic period (the last phase of which is represented in France by La Madelaine) might have lasted up to 5000 B.C. M. Reinach is Director of the National Museum of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, near Paris; his reputation as a savant stands very high, and he is listened to with respect. The discoveries which prompted him to express this unorthodox opinion were, he says “ascertained last summer at Glozel near Vichy. In the same stratum, no doubt a deposit of a religious character, have been found—(1) objects akin to the Neolithic culture of the Aegean, one of them being an idol in the shape of a violin; (2) inscriptions closely related to those found in 1894 in an early Portuguese dolmen; (3) numerous engravings of animals on pebbles, the style of which is degenerate Magdalenian. As the objects classified under (1) and (2) date from about 4000–3500, degenerate Magdalenian outlines (3) cannot possibly be earlier, and we thus have a proof, which I think is conclusive, that the Magdalenian should be dated about 5000 B.C.” Thus from the outset the discussion of the issues has been confused by questionable fact and faulty inference.

Climate change and its impact on water resources is the problem of the times. Therefore, this study is concerned with the subject of climate change and its impact on the water ration of the grape harvest in Diyala Governorate. The study was based on the data of the Khanaqin climate station for the period 1973-2017, (1986-2017) due to lack of data at governorate level. The general trend of the elements of the climate and its effect on the water formula was extracted. The equation of change was extracted for the duration of the study. The statistical analysis was also used between the elements of the climate (actual brightness, normal temperature, micro and maximum degrees Celsius, wind speed m / s, relative humidity% The results of the statistical analysis confirm that the water ration for the study area is based mainly on the X7 evaporation / netting variable, which is affected by a set of independent variables X1 Solar Brightness X4 X5 Extreme Temperature Wind Speed ​​3X Minimal Temperature and Very High Level .

When a reacting substance or mixture is caused to flow in a cylindrical reactor, all portions of the stream will not flow at the same rate and will exhibit different residence times and, accordingly, are subject to different extents of degrees of reaction. The average degrees of reaction following the residence time distribution proper to laminar flow are given in the earlier publication1 and this paper extends the treatment to that of turbulent flow. In the earlier treatment of laminar flow the ratio of average extent of reaction with non-interacting streams to that of complete intermingling, or the C/Cm, is plotted against the ratio of the times of flow with those of reaction (S). The C/Cm versus S curves are all above unity and increase with increasing S, with the exception of very high orders of chemical reaction for which values of C/Cm are all unity. In the case of turbulent flow the values of C/Cm are more nearly unity at all values of S.

Based only on the times and dates of their births, 18 high school students were told that an expert in astrology would develop personality profiles for each of them. However, identical profiles were given to them and each was then asked to rate the validity of the profile. The result was a very high level of acceptance, similar to the findings of earlier studies in which profiles were presumably derived from personality tests.

Notes of a Curator at the National Museum published in 1970 in the second volume of the book Struggle for Cultural Goods is the only generally available testimony to saving the Wilanów historic monuments by Jan Morawiński, a forgotten hero from the times of WW II. Additionally priceless because of Morawiński documenting the looting of 137 paintings belonging to the pre-WW II Branicki collection at Wilanów. The above-mentioned Notes were published by the Państwowy Instytut Wydawniczy after the manuscript kept in the private archive of the author’s daughter Agnieszka Morawińska. The notes, however, resemble pieces of paper torn from a notebook in which an earlier chapter is missing. The missing chapter does exist, yet for unknown reasons was omitted in the two-volume Struggle for Cultural Goods. Warsaw 1939–1945 edited by Prof. Stanisław Lorentz. The present paper is based on Morawiński’s hand-written testimony, supported by archival sources and recollections of his colleagues from the National Museum in Warsaw (MNW). From August 1939 to August 1944, Jan Morawiński, together with others, was involved in saving precious museum exhibits in the Museum building, but also throughout Warsaw. He was involved in packing the historic monuments into crates which were to help them survive the toughest times, and he helped to put out fires at the Museum, risking his own life. Moreover, he rescued the Royal Castle collections during the hardest bombing of Warsaw, transporting them to the storages in Warsaw’s Jerozolimskie Avenue. For his dedication he was awarded the Virtuti Militari Cross of the 5th class by Gen. Juliusz Rómmel. After Warsaw’s surrender, he was assigned Head of MNW’s storerooms and inventories: when Director Lorentz was absent, he acted as his deputy. In the first period of the Nazi occupation he courageously faced German officials. Furthermore, he headed the clandestine action of inventorying and documenting German destructions and plundering. The knowledge amassed in this way was extremely helpful in the restitution of the looted historic monuments, not only museum ones. He also contributed to documenting the destruction of the Warsaw Castle. Imprisoned by the Nazis, he went through Gestapo’s hands at Daniłowiczowska Street in Warsaw. Later on, he became manager of the Museum of Old Warsaw in the Old Town, at the same time acting as a guardian of the Wilanów collection. Following the defeat of the Warsaw Uprising, he participated in the so-called Pruszków Action in whose course he was badly injured.

Recently, a Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (NCP) swept the globe. This kind of new virus has extremely high infection efficiency, which has brought great disaster to human's production and daily life. However, it is reported that lung cancer and other diseases with a high incidence will lead to a very high mortality rate if they are not diagnosed and treated in time. Therefore, it is urgent to design an accurate and convenient new diagnostic equipment. Due to the increasing innovation of sensor module in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), electronic nose emerges as the times require. The device can use sensors to analyze Volatile Organic Compounds exhaled by people with certain diseases and identify chemical components of various odor and flavor. In addition, many other types of sensors and classification methods such as machine learning (ML) algorithms are also mentioned in this paper. At the end of the paper, the author attached a related experiment and some shortcomings and prospects of electronic nose as well.

In the 19th and 20th centuries several thousand national monuments and memorials have been erected all over Denmark. In close co-operation between the National Museum and the author questionnaires have been sent to all municipalities in order to record the national memorials in each municipality all over the country. The response rate is very high and all answers have been registered in a database. The data processing reveals that the most widely distributed memorial tells about Danish identity and a type of feeling of community based on history. Furthermore, the historical conflicts between Denmark and Germany have caused an amazing number of memorials. Opposition and resistance to the Germans have strengthened the national identity of the Danes and caused a "nationalization of the scenery".

Abstract At present, with the development of the times and technology, in order to meet the needs of industrial production, robots have begun to be widely used in factories. Although the production efficiency of the robot is very high and relatively cheap compared to the labor cost, when an industrial robot fails, it will have a serious impact on the production capacity of the entire production line. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor various data of the robot. If some abnormal data can be found, it can perform effective predictive maintenance on the robot. This article mainly proposes a method for various data acquisition of ABB robots. The data acquisition interface is developed using C# and the dynamic link library is called. The data of ABB robots can be read in real time. It can realize real-time monitoring of each data of the robot.

Since 1962 observational studies on very high satellites have been made by means of the 24 in. reflecting telescope of the University of London Observatory. Analysis of the observations involves use of orbit elements specially provided by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (S.A.O.). Initially our attention was concentrated on the Midas type objects; these are Agena vehicles in nearly polar and nearly circular orbits, at heights of 3000 to 4000 km. It was hoped that precise observations might show small accelerations due to air drag, though it would be necessary to resolve P to better than 1 x 10~10 for this purpose. Observations are confined to the times when the orbit does not contain shadow; for the Midas orbits these periods last roughly 3 months. The acceleration due to solar radiation pressure when the orbit includes shadow is in principle calculable—and is indeed included in routine analyses for the higher satellites, by for example the S.A.O. It is important to realize, though, that for the very high satellites this acceleration due to solar radiation pressure (s.r.p.) may greatly exceed the acceleration due to air drag. For example, even in the case of Echo 2 at a height of about 1200 km, presently (1966) i r.p. may at times equal Pdrag. (see Cook & Scott 1966). In the case of the small balloon satellite 1963- 30D, with a mean altitude of about 3500 km and an orbital eccentricity of nearly 0.1 presently, Ps.r.p. may exceed pdrag by a factor of 100 on occasion. Consequently one cannot extract the air drag effect from the total observed acceleration; the value of Ps.r.p. is not known to an accuracy of 1 % for various reasons—neither the area/mass ratio for the satellite is known to this accuracy, nor is the reflexion coefficient. Therefore, one must confine the investigations of air drag effects to the all-in-sunlight phases (or, possibly, use very nearly circular orbits, for which Psrp is much reduced; but unfortunately the balloon satellites’ orbits rapidly depart from initially small eccentricities through s.r.p. perturbations).

The satellites 1958 β2 (Vanguard I) and 1958 γ (Explorer III) represent extremes from the orbit-determination standpoint. The absolute fluctuations in the mean motion were smallest for the former, and largest for the latter, among the satellites for which precision Minitrack radio observations were available. Accordingly, the orbit of the former has been determined with the greater precision. Even in the case of 1958 γ, however, the rootmean- square value of the residuals is less than twenty minutes of arc. The radial distances between adjacent arcs at the times for transferring from one arc to the next are of the same order as the residuals within the individual arcs. The results obtained with this satellite are of interest since they indicate what can be done in the way of determining the orbits of satellites having very low perigees and very high fineness ratios. Errors of less than four minutes of arc have been obtained for some of the orbital arcs of 1958 β2[1].
