Therefore, during measurements at the North Pole with a vertical detector, or with collimator-equipped detectors aimed at the Sun or at the Pole Star in Puschino, that is both detectors cannot depend upon Earth diurnal rotation, there was an absolute synchronism of the histogram shape change with histogram shape changes in Antarctic.
Synchronous measurements of alpha-decay of [sup.239]Pu carried out at north pole, antarctic, and in puschino confirm that the shapes of the respective histograms depend on the diurnal rotation of the earth and on the direction of the alpha-particle beam
This requires the addition of a phase-stable comb generator reference source because this type of VNA loses phase synchronism between acquisitions.

The great importance of knowing temperature requirements was pointed out by PRATISSOLI & PARRA (2000), when they said Trichogramma pretiosum temperature requirements knowledge allows to know optimum temperature to insect development, better synchronism of parasitoid livestock, helping to increase Integrated Pest Management (IPM) performance when this parasitoid is used.

Kompfner originally made the suggestion that an electron beam and an electromagnetic wave traveling in near synchronism could be a viable source of microwave energy.(1,2,3) A TWT based on this principle was first demonstrated in the laboratory in 1948.

For this synchronism to succeed, a chain has to be forged from Pilsu-Dagan to his scribe Ba'la-malik to a participant named Ribi-Dagan to the Hittite functionary Laheya, and both of the intermediate links are far from secure.
