... Another significant contribution to the crystal energy of metals is the electron-ion interaction or the electron bandstructure energy (E BS ) which is defined by the interaction of valence electrons and the Brillouin zone (BZ) planes. ... The program BRIZ has been developed for 3D visualization of Brillouin zone configurations and intersections of BZ planes with a Fermi sphere[4]. ... 1.75 (electrons/atom). ... 4] Degtyareva V.F., Smirnova I.S.: BRIZ: a vizualization program for Brillouin zone ? ...

To run a process in the background as a job and carry on working add an (ampersand) at the end of the command line. ... The shell forks a child process to run the command and displays the job number ( [ n ] ) and the PID (Process IDentifier) number. ... If the command is likely to produce error messages you will need to redirect standard error. ... Do not run an interactive command that requires you to type something at the terminal as a background job. ... You will then have to kill its process . ...

The BP were computed by the aperture method, proceeding from the fild distribution in the aperture of the primary mirror. The components of the main and cross-polarization components of the electric field in the vertical aperture of the primary mirror was computed in Frenel diffraction approximation. ...

Authors: Yu.G. Shevelev , V.A. Marsakov , . ... Based on a previously compiled catalog of fundamental astrophusical parameters for nearby disk F stars (containing, in particular, metallicity, isochronal ages, and space-velocity components), with were derived from published astrometric data, the Galactic orbital elements were calculated for 1630 stars. ... The radial and vertical metallicity gradients were found for mixed-age stars and for a few narrow age ranges. ...

This section is on a higher level than the rest, and is primarily meant for advanced users, who may wonder how orbital motion is actually derived. ... As stated earlier, the motion of a satellite (or of a planet) in its elliptical orbit is given by 3 "orbital elements": . ... 3) The mean anomaly M , an angle growing at a steady rate, increasing by 360 degrees each orbit . ... In polar coordinates ( r,f ) describing the satellite's motion in its orbital plane, f is the polar angle. ... The angles: . ...

... Research objects and scientific purposes . Space scientific program includes development and launch of two supersmall spacecrafts "Universitetskiy" and "Kompas-2" intended for monitoring of radiation conditions near the Earth. ... All the studies conducted in the near-Earth space are characterised by strong radiation fields. ... The circular polar orbits, which cover all the near-Earth space, are the most favorable for comprehensive studies of the radiation conditions near the Earth. ...

As it is in Ephemerides task, O–C can be calculated with different accuracy. ... It presents three modes of accuracy. One can calculate position of a minor planet by the formulae of elliptic motion starting from the fundamental set of elements for given minor planet. ... Also there is possibility to calculate positions taking into account perturbations from different sets of perturbing bodies by numerical integration ( Integration mode). ... Accuracy of integration is equal to 10**(–10) AU. ...

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. ...
