about precession of orbiting bodies observing binary stars de Sitter double star experiment Image Geodetic effekt.jpg thumb A representation of the geodetic effect. General relativity cTopic Phenomena The geodetic effect also known as geodetic precession , de Sitter precession or de Sitter effect represents the effect of the curvature of spacetime , predicted by general relativity , on a vector carried along with an orbiting body. For example, the vector could be the angular momentum of a gyroscope orbiting the Earth, as carried out by the Gravity Probe B experiment. The geodetic effect was first predicted by Willem de Sitter in 1916, who provided relativistic corrections to the Earth Moon system s motion.

Unreferenced date April 2009 A geodetic network is a network of triangle s which are measured exactly by techniques of terrestrial surveying or by satellite geodesy . In classical geodesy up to the sixties this is done by triangulation , based on measurements of angle s and of some spare distances the precise orientation to the geographic north is achieved through methods of geodetic astronomy . The principal instruments used are theodolite s and tacheometer s, which nowadays are equipped with infrared distance measuring, data base s, communication systems and partly by satellite links. Electronics Electronic distance measurement EDM was introduced around 1960, when the prototype instruments became small enough to be used in the field. EDM increased network accuracy accuracies up to 1 1 million 1 cm per 10 km today at least 10 times better , and made surveying less costly. The geodetic use of satellite s began around the same time. By using bright satellites like Echo satellite Echo I , Echo II and Pageos , global networks were determined, which later provided support for the theory of plate tectonics . Another important improvement was the introduction of radio and electronic satellites like Geos Geos A and B 1965 70 , of the Transit satellite Transit system Doppler effect 1967 1990 &mdash which was the predecessor of GPS and of laser techniques like Lageos USA or Starlette F .

Astro geodetic geoid solutions are computed by the spatial Integral integration of the two components of vertical deflection s.

WorldSystem Teletext or WST is the name of a standard for encoding and displaying teletext information, which is used as the standard for teletext throughout Europe today. It originally stems from the UK standard developed by the BBC and the UK Independent Broadcasting Authority in 1974 for teletext transmission, extended in 1976 as the Broadcast Teletext Specification. With some tweaks to allow for alternative national character sets, and adaptations to the NTSC 525 line system as necessary, this was then promoted internationally as WorldSystem Teletext . It was accepted by ITU R CCIR in 1986 under international standard CCIR 653 now ITU R BT.653 as one of four recognised standards for teletext worldwide, and may now most commonly be referred to as CCIR Teletext System B . Almost all television sets sold in Europe since the early 80s have built in WST standard teletext decoders as a feature. WST is used for all teletext services in Europe & Scandinavia, including Ceefax from the BBC and services from Teletext Ltd. Teletext on ITV in the United Kingdom , ZDFtext from ZDF and ARDText from ARD TV ARD in Germany , and Tekst TV from NRK in Norway , among many other teletext services offered by other television networks throughout the European continent.

DEFAULTSORT World Counseling System Category Counseling ...multiple issues citation style March 2010 cleanup March 2010 orphan November 2010 The World Counseling System WCS , otherwise called the Religious Counseling Standard , is a classification model developed for use mostly in religious counseling. It is a model commonly used for counseling in Africa , Asia and South America and it works on three assumptions That someone is concerned or confused about someone or there is an issue that needs to be resolved, usually urgently. That the issue involved is such that it cannot be resolved through the person s own efforts. That the inability to resolve the issue without outside assistance necessitates a recourse to a higher being who possesses superior wisdom. This higher being is expected to function through earthly agents. This process involves the engagement of people with supernatural gifts such as prophet s in whatever religion and faith based counselors to help resolve the problem. The core of the model is that the person with the problem commits his or her case into the hands of the agent of a supernatural being who is expected to proffer solutions to the problem. Owing to the involvement of some supernatural being, the issues that can be resolved are unlimited, which makes categorization difficult. Categorization is based, therefore, on the personalities involved in the resolution process, rather than on the problems that need to be solved. Classifications Under the WCS system, counseling is carried out in three categories Love Personal relationships Business relationships Other relationships If someone needs counseling in the area of personal relationship , he or she could seek help from the agents regarding a spouse, boyfriend girlfriend or Engagement fianc e . He or she could ask such questions as Is my husband faithful? Is this person the right person for me to marry? and If I marry this person, will the marriage last ... more details

The purpose of ECGN is to connect the height systems obtained via geometric positioning by GNSS with gravity referenced heights with a cm level accuracy. The effects of the atmosphere , the ocean s and time dependent parameters of the solid Earth on the gravity field are investigated.

The Experimental Geodetic Payload is a Japanese satellite sponsored by NASDA , and launched in 1986 on the first flight of the H I rocket. After launch, the satellite was renamed Ajisai the Japanese name for the Hydrangea plant , but it is most commonly known by the acronym EGP . Some sources identify the satellite as the Experimental Geodetic Satellite , or EGS.
