You can make a symbolic link that points to a file that does not exist. The link becomes active when the file that it points to is created. ... Look at this example: ln -s $HOME/accounts/pending current (make a symbolic link to a non-existent file) more current cat: accounts/pending: No such file or directory (this is what happens if you try to page it) cp ~/accounts/may ~/accounts/pending (now to create the file that the symbolic link points to) more current XYZ Co. ...

... Great oppositions. ... Proxima Centauri. ... Scientists proved that the problem of preserving the Earth's climate and the annual change of seasons can be solved by a small star, negligible mass, but similar to a main-sequence star, moving in a circular orbit around the Sun. ...

fitcircle - find mean position and pole of best-fit great [or small] circle to points on a sphere. fitcircle [ xyfile ] -L norm [ -H [ nrec ] ] [ -S ] [ -V ] [ -: ] [ -bi [ s ][ n ] ] fitcircle reads lon,lat [or lat,lon] values from the first two columns on standard input [or xyfile ]. ... Then two locations are found: the mean of the input positions, and the pole to the great circle which best fits the input positions. ... If no file is specified, fitcircle will read from standard input. ...

In this method the fields outside and inside a particle are represented by expansions in term of proper basis functions (practically always the vector spherical harmonics). Since the particle surface does not coincide with the coordinate surface, it is impossible to satisfy the boundary conditions exactly, and the expansions are limited by a finite number of terms, and the boundary conditions are considered in a finite set of points (matching points). ...

... They are concerned with Attitude Control System of the spacecraft, satellite visibility from tracking stations, limits on the satellite autonomous operations during the orbit, and needs for auxiliary operations with the spacecraft. ... Among the operational constraints the most important one is the number of programmed slews per orbit, which determines the maximum number of radio sources to be observed during one orbit. ...

... For the past years I have been working on the problem of synthesis of light curves of close binary systems, consisting of a normal star and a compact object (point object with fixed X-ray luminosity). ... Possible existence of a bright spot on the disk's lateral surface is taken into account. ... The last of then will be published in Gordon and Breach Publishers ( Cherepashchuk A.M., Katysheva N.A., Khruzina T.S., Shugarov S.Yu. ...

Disastrous earthquakes happen 100 to 200 times a year. ... There is a chance that the data of ionospheric plasma observations hold an answer to the latter question. Satellites and ground-based facilities may detect earthquake precursors in the ionosphere a few hours or days before the main shock. ... ULF "Hz"-oscillations have been recorded several hours before the main shock in a narrow magnetic field tube (40...100 km along the satellite trajectory) conjugated with epicenter of the earthquake. ...

The most frequently asked question about Photoshop 4.0 is a question about type tool. ... There are 2 modes now - outline mode and layer mode. ... If you want to use old filters in this layer, you would need a selection - this is not a problem. Don't be scared of layers if you aren't used to them - you can get selection around your type even if you are using layer mode type. To get this selection, while layer with type is active, do Load Selection... and specify Layer X Transparency . ...
