... These Frontier Fields will combine the power of HST with the natural gravitational telescopes of high-magnification clusters of galaxies. ... We are soliciting gravitational lensing maps for the last four Hubble Frontier Fields clusters (MACSJ0717.5+3745, MACSJ1149.5+2223, AbellS1063, and Abell 370) based upon the exceptionally deep HST FF imaging and other new ancillary data. ... For the full set of proposal instructions and requirements, see the FY16 Frontier Fields Lensing Map Call for Proposals....

... G.P.Panasenko (J.-V.Poncelet, Moscow) Multiscale problems: junction of models of different dimension, applications to hemodynamics. ... Gubkina , Moscow, Russia . ... The workshop is devoted to an important trend in mathematical modeling, the multiscale methods and its applications in biology and medicine. ... It was organized in the frame of the thematic year on the multiscale methods and modeling in biology and medicine organized by the Russian-French laboratory J.-V.Poncelet. ...

Russian SHAREABLE DATA CENTER Institute of Solar-Terrestial Physics SB RAS . ... Although their determination is based on the scattering process model, independent check-ups by rocket experiments have shown their correctness in experimental applications. ... Ionospheric data analysis, especially during strong disturbances, cannot be without some other kinds of diagnostic tools. ... The lack of data has always been a challange in this case. ...

Hydrocode Modeling of a High-velocity Impact of an Asteroid Particle on a Steel Surface . ... Present work deals with physical-mathematical modeling of hyper-velocity impacts up to 80 km/s. This problem is very important for asteroid protection systems and other critical nuclear and military objects. ... As a result of modeling, new models and criteria of extreme states of solids will be developed to describe hyper-velocity impacts. ... The LS-DYNA 3D hydrocode was used. ...

... These computer models are doing very well, but not yet well enough. The problem is dynamic range: any simulation that models a large enough piece of the universe to be representative (a cube of 100 Mpc on a side seems sufficient), cannot have the resolution to accurately follow what happens on galactic scales ( kpc). At present, each point in the n-body code represents around , and you cannot model star formation and galaxy dynamics with only particles. ...

... It is well known that the Least Squares method returns the values of the parameters regardless the correspondence of the model to observations. ... The proposed method based on the orthogonal representation of the equations of a model is free of this fault since it tests the consistency of the model and data. This method have been used to find out the compatibility of the standard kinematical model with the proper motions of stars in the Hipparcos catalogue. ... What is beyond the accepted model? ...

... As a summary I present a probable model for the evolution of the nearby starburst galaxies by taking into account observations of their large-scale and nuclear gas dynamics as well as numerical simulations of gas flows in galaxies. ... Thus, it is very likely that galaxy interaction plays an important role in the formation of bars . ... A good example is the barred starburst galaxy NGC 1808. ... In fact, one can nearly see the gas flowing toward the galaxy centre where it fuels the nuclear starburst...

... This article is part of the LWN Porting Drivers to 2.6 series . One of the more significant changes in the 2.5 development series is the creation of the integrated device model. The device model was originally intended to make power management tasks easier through the maintenance of a representation of the host system's hardware structure. ... Which devices exist in the system, what power state they are in, what bus they are attached to, and which driver is responsible for them. ...

... To determine the parameters we want (stellar magnitudes and colors) from the observations we have, we fit the data to a model. The model should represent the circumstances of the observations as realistically as possible; otherwise, effects present in the data but not in the model will be distributed among the available adjustable parameters, such as stellar magnitudes, extinction coefficients, and transformation parameters. ... The bias problem . ...
