We inform the variable-star community that the publication of the "Peremennye Zvezdy" (Variable Stars) journal, founded by Prof. B.V. Kukarkin (1909 1977) in 1928, is planned to be resumed by November, 2005. Currently it is possible for us to publish "Peremennye Zvezdy" only as an electronic journal. ... The main journal will accept original scientific papers containing theoretical results as well as results based on detailed analysis of variable-star observations. ...

Since XmCCD uses Motif, the libraries and include files must be available. ...

... Research Statement Summary The Lambek calculus was introduced in 1958 for linguistic purposes, but it enjoys a very natural algebraic interpretation. ... On this powerset one can naturally define three operations--multiplication, left and right division. ... Subsets of the free semigroup are naturally called formal languages. ... For the original Lambek calculus, the languages generated by these grammars are exactly context-free languages (M. Pentus 1992). ...

... Although many of the images are used for teacher-driven activities, students do have the opportunity to work with scientists on original research projects. ... The primary goal is to have teachers experience astronomy research and then to bring the research data into their classrooms via the internet. ... They also learn how to process their data, build a solar telescope to take home to their classrooms, and learn background information from astronomers in each of the three research areas. ...

... the data are described accurately enough to allow an unambiguous interpretation of the data, as well as a comprehension of the context in which the data were acquired and/or processed; a single ascii file, named ReadMe , is designed for this role. the data are in a format which allows their usage by tools currently in usage in our discipline -- normally flat ascii files ; other formats can be accepted, but are converted into flat files. ...
