... A simple Virasoro vertex algebra is rational (and -2 semisimple as well) iff its central charge is of the form c = 1 - 6(pppp ) , where p, p are relatively prime integers, greater than 1 (which are central charges of the so called minimal models). A simple affine vertex algebra Vk (g), attached to a simple Lie algebra g is rational (and semisimple as well) iff its level k is a non-negative integer. ... We call such f an exceptional nilpotent and such k an exceptional level. ...

Next Previous Contents . This means that an interrupt happened that no driver expected. ... In many cases you can safely ignore this error message, especially if it only happens once or twice at boot-time. For boot-time messages, look at the messages which are nearby for a clue as to what is going on. For example, if probing is going on, perhaps a probe for a physical device caused that device to issue an interrupt that the driver didn't expect. ...

... Heracles Triplane and Aerospace Systems . The key characteristics of two-stage aerospace systems are determined according to speed and carrying capacity of the aircraft-carrier used . ... So the SPIRAL system hypersonic carrier was expected to launch the second stage by weight 63 tons at a speed corresponding to 6M; whereas launching weight of the MAKS system orbital stage with the use of the An-225 MRIYA heavy subsonic aircraft reaches 275 tons, and the HERACLES aircraft - 450 tons. ...

... From the observed direction of interplanetary magnetic field lines, we believe this field comes from the Sun, carried by magnetic field lines dragged out by the solar wind . ... That is why magnetic field-line loops tend to keep back the solar wind, unlike the outward-bound lines in the "coronal holes" between them. ... The magnetic field at all these points is already so weak that the solar wind overpowers it and shifts its field lines, while its own motion--radially outward--remains unchanged. ...

Starting PROFILES you just click on the "FILE-LOAD" button. By "BROWSE" buttons you choose the profiles you want to use. Note : Times when the profiles were taken must be contained in the end of the file name (e.g. "p082023.fts", "prof082023.fts", "082023.fts") and the files must be fts files obtained for example in XLOOK.
