... ICND-96, Saratov, Russia. ... And though a number of efficient methods of digital sound compression is developed by far, there is still a need in new efficient methods. In this report we study a possibility of application of fractal methods to compression of speech signals. ... In this method, a speech frame is divided into larger pieces called domains, and smaller ones called regions, and an optimal set of affine transformations of domains into regions is calculated. ...

... While there is practically no detector noise present at energies above , X-ray data below are considerably contaminated by noise events, which become more and more dominant towards the lowest transmitted energies (Fig. ... Investigations of 40 hours of in-orbit calibration data with the filter wheel closed, taken over a period of more than two years, showed that the noise properties vary with position and energy, but are fairly stable in time for most areas on the detector. ...

... Spectra obtained with the 6-m telescope of SAO RAS are used along with archival data from Spitzer and several ground-based telescopes to infer a strength of PAH emission, age, properties of the UV radiation field, and metallicity of studied HII complexes. Physical properties (age, radiation field parameters, metallicity) are related to the F 8 /F 24 ratio used as a proxy for the PAH abundance in order to reveal factors that may influence the PAH evolution in HII complexes. ...

... We study ergodic properties of random maps defined as collections of nonsingular maps $f_1,\dots,f_w$ from a compact metric space $(X,\rho)$ into itself taken with probabilities $p_1,\dots,p_w$ ($\sum_i^wp_i=1$) and considered as Markov processes on $X$. ... In the first situation, when the random map is expanding on average, we mainly follow ideas borrowed from the theory of piecewise expanding maps and the corresponding Banach space is a version of the space of functions of bounded variation on $X...

The astrometric properties of the NOAO Mosaic Imager are investigated using the new IRAF MSCRED and IMMATCHX packages and observations taken during recent engineering runs. ... The TAN projection plus cubic polynomial plate solutions and bilinear interpolation were used to combine the 8 pieces of the mosaic into a single 8K by 8K image with an undistorted TAN projection coordinate system. ... A new plate solution was computed for the combined images. ...

Authors: Yu.G. Shevelev , V.A. Marsakov , . ... We have constructed and investigated properties of metallicity function of disk stars with different ages, proceeding from the statistically restored real altitude distributions of stars at the solar galactocentric distance. It is shown that the metallicity distribution of stars in each age range is not of Gaussian form, but it may be considered as a superposition of two normal distributions centered at -0.2 and 0.0 dex. ...
