We will also learn about the formation and early evolution of supermassive black holes, by comparing the measured number density and luminosity distribution with predictions from theoretical models," Yoshiki Matsuoka, a former Princeton researcher now at Ehime University in Japan who led the study, said.

Metallurgical and Stress State Factors Which Affect the Creep and Fracture Behavior of 9% Cr Steels

The median raindrops have the largest number density, which contribute most to rain-rate; the number density and width of median raindrops increase with the increasing of rain-rate, and the raw capture DSD is obviously lower than the real DSD because of the unsteady capture probability, which takes on a nonuniform step downward trend, especially in the light rainfall and rainstorm; there is no significant discrepancy between the inversed DSDs from interval 1, interval 2, interval 3, and interval 4, which agree well with real DSD.

where n is particle number density, [n.sub.0] is the reference particle number density as a criteria of the fluid volume, which is defined by the initial particle number density in a regular distribution of particles, and [DELTA]t is the time increment of computation.
