	EA6VQ - The ionosphere at VHF
		John, your intuition, that the differential phase shift between the linearly polarised ordinary and extraordinary waves ought to be comparable to the differential phase shift between transverse RHC and LHC terms, was absolutely right.
		(1) Ordinary/Extraordinary waves are respectively linear polarizations with the E field parallel to the magnetic field, and with the E field perpendicular to the magnetic field.
		For example a 100% vertically polarized wave can be considered as the sum of two different linearly polarized waves in phase, each containing half the power, one with the plane of polarization 45 degrees clockwise of vertical and the other 45 degrees anti-clockwise of vertical.

	Heat wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessively hot weather, which may be accompanied by excessive humidity.
		Some regions of the globe are more susceptible to heat waves than others, such Mediterranean-type climates with a summer dry spell which becomes much hotter than usual on certain years.
		In temperate climates, a heat wave is defined as at least three consecutive days with temperatures of 30 °C (86 °F) or more.

	Olympus Microscopy Resource Center: Specialized Microscopy Techniques - Polarized Light Microscopy - The Quarter Wavelength Retardation Plate
		The quarter wavelength retardation plate is a common optical accessory for polarized light microscopy that operates by introducing a relative phase shift of 90 degrees between the orthogonal wavefronts (ordinary and extraordinary) passing through when the plate is illuminated with linearly polarized light.
		Commercial quarter wavelength retardation plates are specified by their linear retardation, which is 137 nanometers for the device illustrated in Figure 1 that is designed to operate in light having a principal wavelength of 548 nanometers (in the green region).
		In polarized light microscopy applications, the quarter wavelength plate is utilized in a similar manner to the full wave retardation plate in order to determine whether the combination of a weakly birefringent specimen and the plate (oriented at a 45-degree angle to the polarizer and analyzer) yield higher or lower order interference colors.

	Melles Griot - Glossary
		A half-wave plate is a retardation plate whose thickness is such that the phase difference between the extraordinary and ordinary rays after passing through the place is exactly one-half cycle.
		Half-wave plates are used in laser-line rotators that allow the polarization plane of a laser beam to be continuously adjusted without moving the laser.
		The half-wave plate will convert left circularly polarized light into right circularly polarized light, or vice versa, by reversing the direction of propagation.

	Stanford University Department of Physics: History
		Yet he had already made extraordinary contributions to physics, through his theory of electron transport, the Bethe-Bloch equation of the stopping power of fast particles in matter, the theory of ferromagnetism, his invention of spin waves, and Bloch walls.
		It was not until the arrival of Swiss physicist Felix Bloch, however, in 1934, that physics research at Stanford truly caught fire.
		Encouraged initially by Enrico Fermi to do experimental physics because, among other things, it was "fun," in 1938 Bloch (in collaboration with Luis Alvarez) made the first experimental measurement of the magnetic moment of the neutron, marking the beginning of the work for which he is perhaps best known.

	BBC - Science & Nature - Horizon - Mega-tsunami: Wave of Destruction
		Once unleashed they create an extraordinary phenomenon, a gigantic tidal wave, far bigger than any normal tsunami, able to cross oceans and ravage countries on the other side of the world.
		Scientists predict that it will generate a wave that will be almost inconceivably destructive, far bigger than anything ever witnessed in modern times.
		In 1958 there was a landslide, in which a towering cliff collapsed into the bay, creating a wave half a kilometre high, higher than any skyscraper on Earth.

	The Wave Structure of Matter --- Mountain Man's News Archive
		Instead, the most extraordinary conclusion of the wave electron structure is that the laws of physics and the structure of matter ultimately depend upon the waves from the total of matter in a universe.
		This structure settles a century old paradox of whether particles are waves or point-like bits of matter.
		Every particle communicates its wave state with all other matter so that the particle structure, energy exchange, and the laws of physics are properties of the entire ensemble.

	The New Czech Miracle
		Czech filmmaking has enjoyed an extraordinary renaissance over the last half decade, with a new "Velvet Generation" of directors creating the most exciting, vibrant and important cinema to emerge from that nation since the remarkable Czechoslovak New Wave, also known as the Czech Film Miracle, of the 1960s.
		In 1951, at the height of the Cold War, 14 leading Czechoslovak Communists, including Rudolf Slansky, the second most powerful man in the country, were arrested on charges of high treason and espionage; in 1952, they were put on display in a notorious show trial that made headlines around the world.
		The Prague Spring filmmakers of the mid-1960s were renowned for work that was politically and aesthetically daring, humanistic, lyrical, often satirical; this new generation has built on that great tradition, brought it into the postmodern (and post-postmodern) period, and extended it into the 21st century.

	Rogue Wave - Out of the Shadow
		Whether or not the "band" Rogue Wave will be able to follow it remains anyone's guess, but like a tearful hug from an old best friend, Out of the Shadow is a warm, familiar, and quietly affecting experience.
		Oddly, it wasn't until after the recording of these songs that Rogue Wave was formed, when Schwartz initiated a series of "love-affair" encounters with like-minded souls via the Craig's List website.
		From these extraordinary (read: Extra-ordinary) origins comes some of the most humblingly gleeful sunshine college-pop of recent memory - all radiant choruses, verdant melodies, acoustic strums and keyboard flourishes, gleaned from a songwriting talent that almost seems to glisten.

	Quantum Consciousness
		When two quantum systems have interacted, their wave functions become "phase entangled"so that when one system's wave function is collapsed, the other system’s wave function, no matter how far away, instantly collapses as well.
		The non-computable R process is known in various contexts as collapse of the wave function, quantum jump, Heisenberg event and/or state reduction.
		Noting the extraordinary dielectric strength of proteins (their abilty to sustain a voltage), Fröhlich (1968; 1970; 1975) proposed that the various factors determining protein conformation were integrated through a quantum level dipole oscillation within each protein's hydrophobic region (Figure 4).

		One is also drawn to the curious nature of quantum theory with its collapse of the wave function and its non-local correlations, ideas that seem to lie beyond the more conventional and classical notions of force and energy.
		XI Chaos Theory The idea of an overall form that guides or correlates processes of matter and energy at a subtle level is also present in what has generally been called "Chaos Theory".
		For, rather than theories of healing involving the search for some new form of physical energy in the universe, or some new force, one could perhaps focus attention on a way of coordinating existing energies at highly subtle and sophisticated levels.

	Manas: Culture, Indian Cinema- New Indian Cinema
		Unlike the popular cinema, the New Indian cinema is almost always concerned with the common man. The heroes are not supermen with extraordinary ambition, who have to rise from poverty, tame the rich girl and fight the evil landlord, but ordinary men and women acting under the pressures of ordinary living.
		Girish Karnad, who has made his influence widely felt both in theater and cinema, was at the forefront of the Kannada "New Wave".
		Though "New Indian Cinema" is not a precise nor a particularly illuminating term, it points to trajectories in Indian cinema that are identified with the emergence of a certain aesthetic sensibility, a political awareness and engagement with Indian political realities, and a new style of film-making.

		"On the basis of the rules of the assembly, the 42 undersigned deputies request an extraordinary session of the assembly be held on 13 February with the purpose of adopting a declaration of Kosovo as an independent and sovereign state," Dugolli said.
		Dugolli said the initiative is a direct response to references to Kosovo in the preamble of the new constitutional charter as being a part of Serbia and a response to the EU's failure to condemn Kosovo's inclusion in the constitutional charter.
		The signal of the Russian programs is apparently picked up by Ballempfang (off-air) at the border to Russia from the FM tx in Sochi on 71.93 MHz.

		While the death rate in Chicago from 1995 was actually about identical to the death rate in France, the deaths in Chicago came after two or three days of elevated heat and humidity, whereas the deaths in Europe occured toward the end of the heat wave.
		Although there is some debate, the delayed deaths in Europe may have occurred due to the temperatures and unusual atmospheric conditions reaching a critical juncture, whereas the conditions in Chicago resulted from a sudden onset of extraordinary atmospheric conditions.

	University of Chicago Hospitals: Severity of classic heat stroke recognized
		A study of patients admitted to intensive care units for heat stroke during the Chicago heat wave of July 1995 indicates that even the extraordinary level of weather-related mortality--more than 600 excess deaths in nine days--radically underestimates the real consequences of that episode.
		Classic heat-stroke patients who required intensive care during the 1995 Chicago heat wave often had complications rarely described in previous studies.
		Physicians classify heat stroke as: "exertional," triggered in healthy people by intense activity in very hot and humid weather; or "classic," which usually strikes the inactive ill or elderly during prolonged heat.

	Paths Not Taken
		For example, according to the wave theory the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons should increase as the intensity of the incident light is increased (at constant frequency), but in fact we observe that the ejected electrons invariably possess exactly the same kinetic energy for a given frequency of light.
		The main defect in Huygens' wave theory of optics was it's failure to account for the ray-like properties of light, such as the casting of sharp shadows.
		The wave theory of light is quite satisfactory for a wide range of optical phenomena, but when examined on a microscopic scale we find the transfer of energy and momentum via electromagnetic waves exhibits a granularity, suggesting that light comes in discrete quanta (packets).

	The Contemporary Physics Establishment: An illustrated tale of highmindedness and hubris
		But a revolutionary scientific proposition that goes to very foundation of physics is. What the Physics Establishment, when presented with this extraordinary problem, has done is that they made an extraordinary mess of it, and then simply walked away from it.
		I also derived an expression for wave velocity that is completely generalized, and in proper limit, reduces to all the known wave behaviors as well as the new wave behavior.
		It is the continuation of some twenty years worth of lonely development of new ideas in physics (all documented in standard, peer-reviewed journals), calling for an expansion and a revision of the foundations of physics at the textbook level.

		One-way distance through a uniform ionosphere, propagation normal to the magnetic field, in which a linearly polarised wave, E-field 45 degrees to the magnetic field lines, will become elliptically polarised to the indicated degree.
		It is much more difficult to predict the attenuation of a wave passing through the ionosphere than to predict, say, the amount of Faraday rotation.
