The OAP commissioned the chief scientist and director of the NPOI to effect the science and operations for the Panel ; this manager is a senior member of the NOFS staff and reports to the NOFS Director.

NPOI is a successful example of the venerable Michelson Interferometer design, with the principle science managed by NOFS.

Lowell Observatory and NRL join in the scientific efforts through their fractions of time to use the interferometer ; science time is 85 % Navy ( NOFS and NRL ); and 15 % Lowell.

NOFS has used NPOI to conduct a wide and diverse series of scientific studies, beyond just the study of absolute astrometric positions of stars ,; additional NOFS science at NPOI includes the study of binary stars, Be Stars, Oblate stars, rapidly rotating stars, those with starspots, and the imaging of stellar disks ( the first in history ) and flare stars.

Installation plans for the 1. 8m Array were developed in 2010-2012 by the scientific and engineering staffs at NOFS, based on the funded science performed by NOFS and NRL.

In 2009 NOFS began final plans for NPOI to incorporate four aperture optical-infrared telescopes into the array, which were accepted by the Navy in 2010, and assigned to the Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station.

NOFS funds all principle operations, and from this contracts Lowell Observatory to maintain the Anderson Mesa facility and make the observations for NOFS to conduct the primary astrometry.

The final dark sky site chosen was Flagstaff, Arizona, and so the 40-inch telescope was moved to that location, beginning operations at the new Navy command, now called the Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station ( NOFS ).

USNO continues to maintain its dark-sky observatory, NOFS, near Flagstaff, Arizona, which also now oversees the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer.

The Navy Precision Optical Interferometer ( NPOI ) is a major astronomical interferometer ( world's largest baselines ), operated by the Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station ( NOFS ) in collaboration with the Naval Research Laboratory ( NRL ) and Lowell Observatory.

In 2007 – 2008, NRL with NOFS used NPOI to obtain first-ever closure phase image precursors of satellites orbiting in geostationary orbit.

In 2012 NOFS, with support from USNO, CNMOC and the Chief of Naval Operations ' Oceanographer staff, began developing funding and programming plans in order to install the array.

Today, the observatory's primary observational work is done at the U. S. Navy's higher elevation United States Naval Observatory, Flagstaff Station ( NOFS ) near Flagstaff, Arizona.

Those operations commenced in 1955, and within a decade, the Navy's largest telescope, the 61-inch " Kaj Strand Astrometric Reflector " was built, seeing light at NOFS in 1964.

NOFS opens to the public one weekend annually, in the autumn.

NOFS endeavors to facilitate construction starts in the 2012-2015 timeframe.

This eventually leads to the practice of indexing, which is used by almost every operating system from Windows to the system that operates Apple iPod devices.

Accommodation can be understood as the mechanism by which failure leads to learning: when we act on the expectation that the world operates in one way and it violates our expectations, we often fail, but by accommodating this new experience and reframing our model of the way the world works, we learn from the experience of failure, or others ' failure.

Fast twitch muscle ( as compared to slow twitch muscle ) operates using anaerobic metabolic systems, such that any recruitment of fast twitch muscle fibers leads to increased anaerobic energy expenditure.

The Developmental Therapeutics Program ( DTP ) operates a tiered anti-cancer compound screening program with the goal of identifying novel chemical leads and biological mechanisms.

This creates a definitional conflict because predeterminism, by this understanding, logically leads to a belief in the existence of a conscious being who must determine all actions and events in advance and who, possessing such seeming omnipotence, almost certainly operates outside of the laws of nature.

In chemistry, stereospecificity is the property of a reaction mechanism that leads to different stereoisomeric reaction products from different stereoisomeric reactants, or which operates on only one ( or a subset ) of the stereoisomers.

Each piston in a master cylinder operates a brake circuit, and for modern light trucks and passenger cars, usually a brake circuit leads to a brake caliper or shoe on only two of the vehicle's wheels, and the other brake circuit provides brake-pressure to power the other two brakes.

The Church operates relatively freely in Hong Kong ( where the Ecumenical Patriarch has sent a metropolitan, Bishop Nikitas and the Russian Orthodox parish of St Peter and St Paul resumed its operation ) and Taiwan ( where archimandrite Jonah George Mourtos leads a mission church ).

Quantum physics provides a framework for understanding how nature operates on subatomic scales, but differs completely from classical science, because in this framework, there is no such thing as empty space, and the position of an object and its momentum cannot simultaneously be precisely determined.

The observatory now operates as a science education project and is open to the public.

GSFC also operates two spaceflight tracking and data acquisition networks ( the Space Network and the Near Earth Network ), develops and maintains advanced space and Earth science data information systems, and develops satellite systems for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ).

A hereditary dictatorship, or family dictatorship, in political science terms a personalistic regime, is a form of dictatorship that occurs in a nominally or formally republican regime, but operates in practice like an absolute monarchy, in that political power passes within the dictator's family.

The null point theory has been controversial in its acceptance into mainstream coastal science as the theory operates in dynamic equilibrium or unstable equilibrium, and many field and laboratory observations have failed to replicate the state of a null point at each grain size throughout the profile.

* In computer science, a synchronizer is an algorithm that can be applied to a synchronous distributed algorithm to produce a version that operates in asynchronous networks.

Ulla Koch-Westenholz, in her 1995 book Mesopotamian Astrology, argues that this ambivalence between a theistic and mechanic worldview defines the Babylonian concept of celestial divination as one which, despite its heavy reliance on magic, remains free of implications of targeted punishment with the purpose of revenge, and so “ shares some of the defining traits of modern science: it is objective and value-free, it operates according to known rules, and its data are considered universally valid and can be looked up in written tabulations ”.
