		The ruins consist of an apsidal structure built of laterite slabs within, which towards the apse-end is a circular wall.
		The oblong space in front of the circular wall is enclosed by walls, raised on the paved surface within the framework of the apsidal structure, to form an oblong chamber.
		Towards the base of the apsidal wall are two arc-like buttress-walls built of three rows of laterite blocks placed on edge and supporting one another.

	Apse Chapel
		The common source of the ambulatory and radiating chapels seems to have been the church of St. Martin of Tours, where originally there was a choir of two bays, and an apse of five bays, surrounded by a single ambulatory and five radiating chapels.
		Each apsidal chapel could be treated as a sanctuary, to be entered only by the officiating, priest and his attendants, and the ambulatory served as the necessary nave for the worshippers.
		No ambulatory with tangential chapels is older than about A. The peri-apsidal plan of Westminster Abbey, commenced in 1050 by Edward the Confessor, anticipated Cluny by thirty-nine years, a plan which was reproduced at Gloucester in 1089 and at Norwich in 1096.

	R. Lee Hawkins---Apsidals (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Some of these binaries, particularly DI Herculis, show a rate of precession of the line of the apsides that is inconsistent with general relativistic predictions.
		Since it is only necessary to observe near the time of minimum to get useful science on an apsidal system, useful science can be done in one night.
		This makes apsidal monitoring an excellent project for areas where there are seldom long stretches of clear weather, such as the East US.

	Overview (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Excavation of Area 3 was finally completed, revealing an apsidal basin built in opus caementicium The basin is lined with brick, waterproofed with a thick layer of cocciopesto and revetted with white marble slabs, fragments of which are still in situ with bronze pins fastening them to the structure.
		A limited sounding around the plinth in Area 4 uncovered 30 cm of a distinct linear feature aligned with the east side of the plinth, suggesting that other structures related to this earlier phase are preserved on the earthen floor at the base of the Area 4 plinth.
		This phase is well represented by the wall which invades the northeast corner and center of the apsidal basin, obliterating the structure with its stone foundations, which rest directly on the basin floor.

	Poleshifts (1)
		The average rate of apsidal (or perihelion) precession is 12 arc-seconds (1/300°) per year, or 108,000 years for a complete rotation,
		Using the figure of 50" for the precession of the equinoxes and 12" for apsidal motion, the combined movement is equal to 62" (62/3600°) a year, or 20,903.226 years for a complete cycle.
		These two periodicities, along with the 41,000-year obliquity cycle and the 100,000-year eccentricity cycle, are said to have been confirmed by the discovery of similar periodicities in studies of the Pleistocene climate record.

		From the peristyle, through a wide corridor with traces of mosaic pavement, one reaches an apsidal room identified as the "tepidarium", where one stopped for a while after a hot bath.
		Next to the "tepidarium" is the "laconicum" or sweat room, round in shape and originally covered by a dome.To the north of the "tepidarium" and the "laconium" there is a wide corridor with "spicatum" paving that led to other sectors of the baths, always of the 1st century BC, of which there are scarce remains.
		The part of the baths complex that was built at a later date, in the Hadrian era, is located to the south of the initial republican center.

	[42.05] Eccentricity excitation and apsidal alignment in exo-planetary systems (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In multiple-planet systems, there is also a tendency for near-alignment of the arguments of periapse of two planets, and secular apsidal resonance is strongly indicated in one case, Upsilon Andromedae.
		Apsidal resonance is the phenomenon of phase-locking of the apsidal longitudes of two orbits, such that the two planets have a common average rate of apsidal precession and the angular difference of their apsidal longitudes librates around 0.
		We describe a dynamical mechanism for establishing apsidal resonance in a pair of planets that are initially on nearly circular orbits.

		Fieldwork in 2003 concentrated on the large deforested sector of the Villa of Maxentius that encompassed the great apsidal audience hall (or aula), its vestibule, and a communicating section of cryptoporticus that had been consolidated in 1965.
		In late June of 2005, three large excavation trenches will be opened; two in the apsidal hall and one in the unexcavated sector of the palace to the east of the aula.
		Two areas of the apsidal hall hold particular interest for attempts to establish an occupational history of the building and to bring the old trenches into phase with a complete, well-documented stratigraphic sequence for the aula.

		Attributed to the emperor Maxentius (306-312 C.E.) by means of epigraphical evidence, the early fourth-century phase of the complex included construction of the large apsidal hall and an extension of the ambulacrum in order to connect the vaulted walkway to the pulvinar of the Maxentian circus.
		The 2005 excavation season concentrated on the monumental apsidal hall of the Villa of Maxentius, the first area to be cleared as part of the Comune's long-term commitment to deforesting the site.
		The lack of occupational debris suggests that the apsidal hall was never consistently used.

	Kamat Research Database: Research Abstract
		This paper argues against the current view that the apsidal form was Buddhist in origin and that apsidal Hindu temples are essentially Buddhist shrines subsequently converted to Hinduism.
		Instead, the paper establishes that the apsidal form was part of a common architectural vocabulary widely used from the second century bc onwards not only for the Buddhist shrine, but also for the Hindu temple and several local and regional cults.
		Finally, the paper highlights the archaeological excavations conducted at the apsidal temple of Gudimallam also in Andhra to trace the history of the religious site from the second century bc to the twelfth century ad, the objective being to highlight the changing nature of the Hindu temple.

	Interactive Dig Sagalassos - Domestic Area Report 3
		During the second and third weeks of the campaign, the Domestic Area team, under the direction of Inge Uytterhoeven and Rob Rens of K. Leuven and Sevgi Gerçek of Istanbul University, continued the excavation of the large room XLVI, which belongs to the representative wing in the northern part of the mansion.
		In order to construct the apse on top of the rectangular room, the lower part of the apse was interwoven with a vault that covered Room XLVI and thus formed the base for the mosaic on the upper floor (Room L).
		Since the tuff blocks had collapsed just below the northern edge of the apse, the apsidal rubble wall on top of it (maximum preserved height: 1.50 meters) had deteriorated greatly and was on the verge of collapsing.

		The potential energy is plotted in cyan, the centrifugal potential is plotted in green, and the two are added to give the effective potential energy plotted in blue.
		Values are stored for subsequent plotting of the orbit, and the apsidal angle (the value of theta at the pericenter) is printed.
		The reason that the inverse first power force appears to have a closed orbit is because its apsidal angle is close to 11/32 of 360 degrees (the initial velocity was chosen to make this true).
