In this chapter we will consider two very simple but useful Web agents that I have written on Actor Prolog for my own needs. ... Let us start the Web agent. Fig. ... Start of the Web agent. The Context diagram consists of three blocks: "Logic Programming Sites", "Edit", and "Check". ... Some Web sites that are linked with the logic programming and Prolog are listed in the pulldown list (these addresses are transferred to the "Edit" block from the "Logic Programming Sites" block). ...

The name for the output image to be created. xdim = 512 [integer] . The X dimension for the output image. ydim = 512 [integer] . The Y dimension dor the output image. gamma = 1.6666 [real] . ... For a discussion of the significance of this please see the discussion below and the references given. fwhmx = 5.0 [real] . ...

... 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...

. The Zooniverse has created an online interface, Panoplies, where you can develop your own visualisation portal that can be made public or private. In this talk I will discuss some of the ways you can utilise this online system for your own research even if you know nothing about web design.

... The flying laboratories, which are designed on the basis of the "IL-76 MDK" wide-body airplane, can create short-term weightless conditions. ... Weightlessness lasts for 25 seconds and can be recreated up to 15 times within one flight. ... The airplane volume (3,4m У 3,2m У 14.1 Л), as well as the payload of experimental equipment, allocated in the laboratory compartment, advantageously single out our airplane from the similar ones in the world. ...

... I am involved in Project Astro, a program to bring astronomers into public schools to assist with teaching students about science and astronomy. ... While there are all sorts of scale model of the Solar System type exercises ( Mitchell Charity's page has a good listing of what's available), none were really tailored towards discovering the spatial relationships of the planets, and in a way that could be done at night as part of a Star Party. ...

AUTOMATIC CREATION OF THE HYPSOMETRIC MAP OF VENUS. ... The hypsometric map of Venus (1:45M) created under editing of Dr. Rodionova gives the representation of the planet relief on the basis of up-to-date data. ... The requirement was to preserve contour polygons with the areas more than 10 000 sq. km at the Venus surface, which corresponded with areas approximately more than 5 sq. km at the map. ... The other side of Venus map has been prepared. ... Surface height histograms for both Venus and Earth. ...

... A rough estimation is that in the United States there is one planetarium per 100,000 population, ranging in size from the Hayden Planetarium's 20-meter dome seating 430 people, to three-meter inflatable portable domes where children sit on the floor. ... Together dblo associates make a huge impact in the architecture, interior design and development arena in London. ... With the holidays around the corner what better way to spoil your family than with your very own private home cinema. ...
