It seems scientists and laypeople alike have wondered for quite a long time whether or not water exists on Mars. ... A second reason we should determine the sites of ancient Martian seas is that if water once existed on Mars, it is possible that conditions for life obtained on the planet in the past and possibly even persist into the present. ...

In Actor Prolog a resident is a special mechanism that helps processes to inspect state of other processes. A resident observes the state of a specified (target) process and if the state of the process changes (for instance, after message handling) it proves a specified predicate of the process. ... Work of the resident. ... Any change of the list of target processes or arguments of resident function results in activation of the resident and repeated collection of information in the target worlds. ...

... Since moonshine is really reflected sunlight, the full Moon is on the average slightly brighter in mid-winter, when Earth is closest to the Sun. In addition, the distance of the full Moon also varies, due to the ellipticity ("eccentricity") of the Moon's orbit. On 22 December, 1999, the two effects combined to produce the brightest full Moon of the century. ... This year will be the first full moon to occur on the winter solstice, Dec. 22nd, commonly called the first day of winter. ...

... In the talk, we will review the proof and give some new applications to the multiplicity free actions in complex analytic context. Let D be a connected complex manifold, O(D) the space of holomorphic functions on D and K a maximal compact subgroup of G acting by holomorphic transforms on D. If there exists an antiholomorphic involution µ : D D such that µ(p) K p for all p D (1) then, by a result of J.Faraut and E.G.F.Thomas, O(D) is a multiplicity free K -module. ...
