GROUPS OF ALGEBRAIC TRANSFORMATIONS OF AFFINE VARIETIES FINAL REPORT FOR THE THREE YEARS KARINE KUYUMZHIYAN 1. ... The latter is an algebraic variety with the given field of rational functions and an infinitely transitive regular action of a group of algebraic automorphisms generated by unipotent algebraic subgroups. ... Quotient groups. ... Since over R there exist irreducible non-connected varieties, we cannot have even one-transitivity of any connected group of automorphisms. ...

... Shock is a non-linear plasma wave generated by plasma flow (Burgess, 1995). ... Shocks are thus places where plasma and field go through dramatic changes in density, temperature, field strength, and/or flow speed. If there is no plasma flow through the surface (Un <> 0) or there is no dissipation and compression across it, we talk about discontinuity only, not shock. ... Contact discontinuity . ... Plasma pressure and field strength increase at shock; magnetic field bends away from normal . ...

... It allows observations of extended and starlike objects in different modes: CCD photometry, panoramic spectroscopy with the Fabry-Perot interferometer, spectroscopy and spectropolarimetry with a "long-slit", slit-free spectroscopy, multi-object spectroscopy. ... Digital servo drives that were installed have improved the reliability of the complex, extended the range severalfold, and reduced the telescope's speed control step. ... A software and hardware set for the BTA control system was implemented...

Distribution of the analyzed SEPs with different >100 MeV proton fluxes ( J 100 ) at the microwave flux density plane ' S 9 vs. ... 1) General correspondence takes place between intensities of microwave bursts and proton fluxes - J 100 increases when S 9 and S 15 rise. ... 3) Powerful microwave bursts ( S 9 , S 15 >3000-10000 sfu ) with hard radio spectra ( S 9 < S 15 ) correspond to majority of powerful proton fluxes ( J 100 >10 pfu ). ...

... Predictions for Leonids 2009 . 55P/Tempel-Tuttle , the parent comet of the Leonid stream, returns to perihelion every 33 years or so (in fact very close to 3 times a century), generating a new trail of meteoroids and dust each time. ... A review article by David Asher entitled `Leonid dust trail theories' is available as paper number 346 in the Armagh preprint/reprint series . ... McNaught and Asher have developed a model to estimate Zenithal Hourly Rates of meteors during trail encounters. ...

This module provides an environment variable with a unique identifier for each request. ... The unique identifier is even unique across multiple machines in a properly configured cluster of machines. ... On Unix machines, Apache creates several children, the children process requests one at a time. ... To distinguish time we will use a Unix timestamp (seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC), and a 16-bit counter. ... The actual ordering of the encoding is: time stamp, IP address, pid, counter. ...

... Low Polar Orbit . ... Different types of satellite orbits have different uses: while the synchronous orbit is best for communication satellites, Lagrangian point orbits help monitor the solar wind before it reaches Earth. ... Many spacecraft use such orbits, e.g. the US Air Force surveillance satellites of the DMSP series, or the series of French Earth-resources spacecraft SPOT . ... If the satellite then starts near a noon-midnight orbit, it will always pass near noon and near midnight. ...
