The quest for high resolution has preoccupied radio astronomers
ever since radio waves were first detected from space fifty years
ago. This venture was par ticularly stimulated by the discovery of
quasars, and led to the development of interferometer techniques
using baselines of transglobal dimensions. These meth ods have
become known as Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). Arrays of
radio telescopes situated all over the Earth (or even in space) are
regularly used for researches in radio astronomy, reaching
resolutions as small as a fraction of a milli arcsecond. The
technique also allows the measurement of the positions of the radio
telescopes to a few millimeters and so VLBI has become a major tool
in geodesy and the study of the rotation of the Earth. VLBI has now
passed the pioneer stage and is becoming a standard facility
available to astronomers and geodesists, requiring the coordination
of the operations of indpendently owned radio telescopes around the
world. In Europe observatories from England, Federal Republic of
Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Sweden and The Netherlands are
coordinated in their VLBI activity by the European VLBI Network
Consortium (EVN). The Programme Committee of the EVN allocates time
to scientific projects on a routine basis three times a year. The
Unites States has a similar arrangement of a network of independent
radio observatories, and joint experiments using 'Global Network'
are often made."
Late Victorian Britain witnessed three challenges to its
eighteenth-century Republican Ideal: democracy, capitalism and
ethnic nationalism. Calling upon the languages and debates of the
period, the book examines contending images of the social order
with new data analytic techniques and information. Joining the
contextual study of history to advanced analytic techniques refutes
standard interpretations and provides a more complete portrait of
the period. The conclusions on democratic transition have important
implications for understanding today's efforts to reap democracy's
rewards.
