... Arithmetic Functions . Random Numbers . String Conversion . Searching and Sorting . ... There are 4 basic integer functions: . int abs(int number); long int labs(long int number); div_t div(int numerator,int denominator); ldiv_t ldiv(long int numerator, long int denominator); . ... In practice no functions produce truly random data -- they produce pseudo-random numbers. ... The stdlib.h provides 2 useful functions to perform general searching and sorting of data on any type. ...

The original files with the data were in different formats. ... Such files were named "standard data files" and linked to the database. They can be easily transformed to any desirable format by a code. Here we present two simple computer programs of this kind. ... When running the code, you can specify columns in the output file: wavelength, energy (eV) or wavenumber (cm -1 ) as the first column, and complex refractive index or dielectric function as the second and third columns. ...

Since the days of Sputnik and Explorer 1, thousands of spacecraft have gone into space, some of them carrying human passengers. The first person to orbit the Earth was the Russian Yuri Gagarin, on April 12, 1961. The first American to do so was John Glenn, who completed three orbits on February 20, 1962; more than 26 years later, at age 77, Glenn returned to space aboard the space shuttle. ... in orbit. ...

... The department was founded in late sixties by Prof. D.Ya.Martynov, who for many years was also the director of Sternberg Astronomical Institute. At present time, the head of the department is Prof. A.M.Cherepashchuk, a pupil of D.Ya.Martynov and his successor as the director of SAI. Since Prof. Martynov, the scientific activity of the department was primarily related to binary stars. ... The department consists of 15 members most of which have Ph.D. in Astrophysics. ...

So what is "Code Blue" and what does it mean? It's no great secret that several years ago we had the mirror re-coated on the 31" Blue Beast at Warren Rupp Observatory, and within a few short weeks, portions of the coating began to fail. ... These are the fellows that showed up at the Observatory on February 20th to help with the gargantuan and nail-biting task of getting mirror out of the telescope safely, out of the cell safely, into the box safely, and put into the truck safely. ...
