... ALMA . ... OOF software . ... Software . ... We present a framework for modelling atmospheric phase errors and their correction by both the fast-switching and water vapour radiometeric techniques. Notable features are simulating three dimensional turbulent volumes instead of flat phase screens, considering three representative configurations of ALMA and parametrisation in terms of phase fluctuations on a 300m baseline, allowing referencing to the site-testing interferometer data. ...

... DMITRY CHELKAK, 2010. ... Results In 2010 I made some progress in several research pro jects concerning a sharp behavior of the critical Ising model as the mesh size tends to zero (see the list in Sect. 4 below), and the most important one was done in collaboration with K. Izyurov (Geneva-St. Petersburg). As a starting point, we constructed a spinor generalization of Smirnov's fermionic observable in the critical Ising model for non-simply connected domains (or Riemann surfaces). ...
