We present a single-pulse study of the four-component pulsar J1819+1305, whose ``null pulses bunch at periodic intervals of around 57 times the rotation period. The emission bursts between the null bunches exhibit characteristic modulations at two shorter periodicities of approximately 6.2 and 3 times the rotation period, the former found largely in the two outer components, and the latter only in the first component. Many bursts commence with bright emission in second component, exhibit positive six-period drift across the full profile width, and end with 3-period modulation in the leading component. The 57-period cycle can be modelled geometrically as a sparsely filled subbeam carousel with nulls appearing whenever our line of sight intersects a circulating empty region. This interpretation is compatible with other recent evidence for periodic, carousel-related nulling and appears to support the physics of a polar-gap emission model for ``drifting subpulses, but the subtle structure of the emission bursts defies an easy explanation.

We present a single pulse study of pulsar B1944+17, whose non-random nulls dominate nearly 70% of its pulses and usually occur at mode boundaries. When not in the null state, this pulsar displays four bright modes of emission, three of which exhibit drifting subpulses. B1944+17 displays a weak interpulse whose position relative to the main pulse we find to be frequency independent. Its emission is nearly 100% polarized, its polarization-angle traverse is very shallow and opposite in direction to that of the main pulse, and it nulls approximately two-thirds of the time. Geometric modeling indicates that this pulsar is a nearly aligned rotator whose alpha value is hardly 2 degrees--i.e., its magnetic axis is so closely aligned with its rotation axis that its sightline orbit remains within its conal beam. The stars nulls appear to be of two distinct types: those with lengths less than about 8 rotation periods appear to be pseudonulls--that is, produced by empty sightline traverses through the conal beam system; whereas the longer nulls appear to represent actual cessations of the pulsars emission engine.

It is shown that the ion-proton magnetosphere is unstable in a limited area of the P - Pdot plane against transitions to a self-sustaining inverse Compton scattering mode in which the particles accelerated are mainly protons with a small component of positrons. It is argued that this mode cannot be absolutely stable. The number density of any outward-moving pair plasma is small and electron and positron Lorentz factors too high to support growth of any collective mode capable of exciting normal pulsar coherent radio emission. Particle fluxes and the position at which they pass through the light cylinder are mode-dependent and in principle, transitions can be accompanied by changes in spin-down torque. The properties of the system are discussed in relation to observations of nulls, mode-changes, and the group of long-term intermittent pulsars.
We present the results of simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of PSR J1819-1458. Our 94-ks XMM-Newton observation of the high magnetic field 5*10^13 G pulsar reveals a blackbody spectrum (kT~130 eV) with a broad absorption feature, possibly com posed of two lines at ~1.0 and ~1.3 keV. We performed a correlation analysis of the X-ray photons with radio pulses detected in 16.2 hours of simultaneous observations at 1-2 GHz with the Green Bank, Effelsberg, and Parkes telescopes, respectively. Both the detected X-ray photons and radio pulses appear to be randomly distributed in time. We find tentative evidence for a correlation between the detected radio pulses and X-ray photons on timescales of less than 10 pulsar spin periods, with the probability of this occurring by chance being 0.46%. This suggests that the physical process producing the radio pulses may also heat the polar-cap.
The Nested Relational Calculus (NRC) has been an influential high-level query language, providing power and flexibility while still allowing translation to standard SQL queries. It has also been used as a basis for language-integrated query in progra mming languages such as F#, Scala, and Links. However, SQLs treatment of incomplete information, using nulls and three-valued logic, is not compatible with `standard NRC based on two-valued logic. Nulls are widely used in practice for incomplete data, but the question of how to accommodate SQL-style nulls and incomplete information in NRC, or integrate such queries into a typed programming language, appears not to have been studied thoroughly. In this paper we consider two approaches: an explicit approach in which option types are used to represent (possibly) nullable primitive types, and an implicit approach in which types are treated as possibly-null by default. We give translations relating the implicit and explicit approaches, discuss handling nulls in language integration, and sketch extensions of normalization and conservativity results.
Radio pulsar PSR B1946+35 is a classical example of a core/cone triple pulsar where the observers line-of-sight cuts the emission beam centrally. In this paper we perform a detailed single-pulse polarimetric analysis of B1946+35 using sensitive Areci bo archival and new observations at 1.4 and 4.6 GHz to re-establish the pulsars classification wherein a pair of inner conal outriders surround a central core component. The new 1.4 GHz observation consisted of a long single pulse sequence of 6678 pulses, and its fluctuation spectral analysis revealed that the pulsar shows a time-varying amplitude modulation, where for a thousand periods or so the spectra have a broad low frequency red excess and then at intervals they suddenly exhibit highly periodic longitude-stationary modulation of both the core and conal components for several hundred periods. The fluctuations of the leading conal and the core components are in phase, while those in the trailing conal component in counterphase. These fluctuation properties are consistant with shorter pulse sequence analyses reported in an earlier study by Weltevrede et al. (2006, 2007) as well as in our shorter pulse sequence data sets. We argue that this dual modulation of core and conal emission cannot be understood by a model where subpulse modulation is associated with the plasma {bf E}$times${bf B} drift phenomenon. Rather the effect appears to represent a kind of periodic emission-pattern change over timescales of $sim$18 s (or 25 pulsar periods), which has not been reported previously for any other pulsar.
