Microsymposium 38, MS085, 2003 (A4 format) REMOTE DETERMINATION OF LUNAR SOIL MATURITY. ... Shevchenko et al. [6, 7], and Pinet et al. [8] developed the method to determine the maturity of lunar soil by using spectropolarimetric ratio Pmax(B)/Pmax(R) for blue (B) and red (R) spectral regions. On the basis of known laboratory results and telescopic data, it was found that ratio Pmax(419nm)/Pmax(641nm) could be used as a remote sensing parameter of lunar soil maturity. ...

... Heracles Triplane and Aerospace Systems . The key characteristics of two-stage aerospace systems are determined according to speed and carrying capacity of the aircraft-carrier used . ... So the SPIRAL system hypersonic carrier was expected to launch the second stage by weight 63 tons at a speed corresponding to 6M; whereas launching weight of the MAKS system orbital stage with the use of the An-225 MRIYA heavy subsonic aircraft reaches 275 tons, and the HERACLES aircraft - 450 tons. ...

To print commands and their arguments as they are executed: cat example #!/bin/sh TEST1=result1 TEST2=result2 if [ $TEST1 = "result2" ] then echo $TEST1 fi if [ $TEST1 = "result1" ] then echo $TEST1 fi if [ $test3 = "whosit" ] then echo fail here cos it's wrong fi . This is a script called example which has an error in it; the variable $test3 is not set so the 3rd and last test [ command will fail. Running the script produces: example result1 [: argument expected . ...
