Underdetermined sets is a new type of data structures (terms) developed in Actor Prolog . ... The point is that an underdetermined set can include some indefinite rest (a tail) like a list in usual Prolog . At the same time, the order of elements of an underdetermined set can be arbitrary one and it does not affect results of unification of underdetermined sets. Moreover, Actor Prolog guarantees that a rest of an underdetermined set never contains elements that are explicitly given in the set. ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

... This applet generates an observing list based on an observer's location and time. ... To use this program, enter in your location, and the local times at which you wish to begin and end observing. The date you enter should correspond to the calendar day at the time at which you begin observing. For example, if you wish to observe from 9:37 PM October 23, 2007 until 3:21 AM October 24, 2007, you would enter 21:37 for the starting time, 03:21 for the finish time, and 10/23/2007 for the date. ...
