initial experiments around 1885 demonstrated that there was no apparent difference, and he improved the experiment to demonstrate this with more accuracy. in 1889 he used the device with different types of sample materials to see if there was any change in gravitational force due to materials. this experiment proved that no such change could be measured, to a claimed accuracy of 1 in 20 million. in 1890 he published these results, as well as a measurement of the mass of gellért hill in budapest.[3]
the next year he started work on a modified version of the device, which he called the "horizontal variometer". this modified the basic layout slightly to place one of the two rest masses hanging from the end of the rod on a fiber of its own, as opposed to being attached directly to the end. this allowed it to measure torsion in two dimensions, and in turn, the local horizontal component of g. it was also much more accurate. now generally referred to as the eötvös balance, this device is commonly used today in prospecting by searching for local mass concentrations.
using the new device a series of experiments taking 4000 hours was carried out with dezsö pekár (1873–1953) and jenő fekete (1880–1943) starting in 1906. these were first presented at the 16th international geodesic conference in london in 1909, raising the accuracy to 1 in 100 million.[4] eötvös died in 1919, and the complete measurements were only published in 1922 by pekár and fekete.
[edit]related studies
eötvös also studied similar experiments being carried out by other teams on moving ships, which led to his development of the eötvös effect to explain the small differences they measured. these were due to the additional accelerative forces due to the motion of the ships in relation to the earth, an effect that was demonstrated on an additional run carried out on the black sea in 1908.
in the 1930s a former student of eötvös, jános renner (1889–1976), further improved the results to between 1 in 2 to 5 billion.[5] robert h. dicke with p. g. roll and r. krotkov re-ran the experiment much later using improved apparatus and further improved the accuracy to 1 in 100 billion.[6] they also made several observations about the original experiment which suggested that the claimed accuracy was somewhat suspect. re-examining the data in light of these concerns led to an apparent very slight effect that appeared to suggest that the equivalence principle was not exact, and changed with different types of material.
in the 1980s several new physics theories attempting to combine gravitation and quantum physics suggested that matter and anti-matter would be affected slightly differently by gravity. combined with dicke's claims there appeared to be a possibility that such a difference could be measured, this led to a new series of eötvös-type experiments (as well as timed falls in evacuated columns) that eventually demonstrated no such effect. a side-effect of these experiments was a re-examination of the original eötvös data, including detailed studies of the local stratigraphy, the physical layout of the physics institute (which eötvös had personally designed), and even the weather and other effects. the experiment is therefore well recorded.[7]tibetan and himalayan library

[edit]overview
thdl was established in 2000 in association with the university of virginia library and the institute for advanced technology in the humanities, using the innovative fedora (flexible extensible digital object repository architecture) system. content includes publications, research resources, language learning materials, and a gazetteer.
thdl provides "an integrated environment for the digital publication of many diverse academic projects connected with tibet and the himalayan region". the structure of thdl consists of five overarching domains: collections, reference, community, tools, and education.
content of thdl is in english, tibetan, nepali, dzongkha and chinese languages. most content in the digital library is published under the thdl public license for digital texts.[1]
the project is run by an international team of scholars from universities and private organizations around the world.
thdl hosts the journal of the international association of tibetan studies (jiats), a freely available online, peer-reviewed english language academic journal focusing on tibetan studies.

date released 2000
tibetan machine uni is an open source opentype font for the tibetan script based on a design by tony duff which was updated and adapted for rendering unicode tibetan text by the tibetan and himalayan library project at the university of virginia and released under the gnu general public license. the font supports a particularly extensive set of conjunct ligatures for tibetan.ufraw

ufraw (which stands for unidentified flying raw) is an application which can read and manipulate photographs in raw image formats, as created by many digital cameras. ufraw is available both as a stand-alone utility, as a gimp plugin, and in f-spot via the developinufraw extension. as a stand-alone application, ufraw can be invoked with a graphical interface, or as a command line batch processing utility.
ufraw reads raw images, using dcraw as a back end, and supports color management via littlecms, allowing the user to apply input, output, and display color profiles (see also linux color management).
thanks to dcraw's versatility, ufraw supports nearly all of the numerous raw image formats used by digital camera manufacturers.

ufraw-batch is the little known sidekick of the ufraw gui. it gets installed together with the gui on windows as well as linux. as the name implies, it is ufraw's batch processor that allows you to process multiple files with great control over almost all of the settings that are available in the gui version.
ufraw's author, udi fuchs describes it so:
batch processing workflow there are two reasons to use batch processing. one reason is if you know exactly the parameters you want to apply to your images. the other reason is you don't have the patience to wait for ufraw to process your images after you make your settings. for the first scenario, you need to prepare an id file with all the settings. then you can convert the images using ufraw-batch—conf=idfile.ufraw. you can also use the command line options, but beware that settings from the resource file .ufrawrc might affect your output. for the second scenario, use ufraw's interactive interface and in the save as dialog set the option create id file to only. with this setting ufraw finishes the save procedure immediately since it does not need to convert the raw file. later you should use the command ufraw-batch *.ufraw to do the actual conversion.
ufraw-batch's manpage is here [1]
ufrb-kde ufrb-kde is a konqueror servicemenu that provides right-click access to ufraw-batch with the results piped through imagemagick's convert for sharpening. basically, you select multiple raw files in your file manager and send them all to ufraw-batch to be converted to one of four formats at one of 3 sharpness levels (plus one high-iso mode that adds the wavelet denoising of ufraw into the mix)
ufrb-kde is currently available for kde on linux only (as it is heavily based around kdialog) although it should easily be converted to gnome (with gnomedialog) or even lightweight windowmanagers like xfce (with xdialog). even a dos batchscript should not prove impossible as both ufraw and imagemagick are fully platform independent
you can find ufrb-kde here: [2]
ufraw-batch for multiprocessors a simple, yet effective way to use ufraw-batch in a way that benefits from multi-threaded processors or multi-processor machines is here: [3], though recent versions (0.15+) can benefit from automatic parallelization when compiled with a openmp enabled gnu compiler collection.
