A very important stage in a story of formation of any new science is the shift from discussion of situation which are possible but do not occur in practice due to some reason to recognition of real phenomena of interest. ... We suggest to consider computer viruses as this new specific form of life which is coming in the contact with our form of life. ... Computer life has been created by human being, the role of independent evolution of computer viruses seems to be still negligible. ...

... Archives . ... Diab Jerius follows up on LOESS techniques б with a very nice summary update and finds LOCFIT to be very useful, but there are still questions about how it deals with measurement errors and combining observations from different experiments: . ... LOESS has been succeeded by LOWESS and, finally LOCFIT, which is the 800lb gorilla of local regression fitting. The LOCFIT algorithm uses local regression (i.e. fits over samples of the data) to generate smooth curves. ... Chandra Blog . ...

... The SF does not contain all the information required to process the ODF with the SAS. odfingest extends the SF with data extracted from the instrument housekeeping data files and the calibration database. It creates a new summary file: the SAS ODF Summary File (SOSF). ... The user need not have write access to the ODF directory. odfingest uses the parameter outdir to learn where to write the SOSF. ... Alternatively, the name of the SOSF can be passed to odfingest with the parameter summaryfile . ...

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. ...
