... ICND-96, Saratov, Russia. ... And though a number of efficient methods of digital sound compression is developed by far, there is still a need in new efficient methods. In this report we study a possibility of application of fractal methods to compression of speech signals. ... In this method, a speech frame is divided into larger pieces called domains, and smaller ones called regions, and an optimal set of affine transformations of domains into regions is calculated. ...

Oleg KARPENKOV (Poncelet laboratory, Moscow): Energies of knots and of certain graphs . Energies of knots are functionals on the space of smooth or piecewise smooth knots, this depends on the type of energy. We consider the best-known energies of knots: Mobius energy, energy of osculating circles and some other energy functionals, and also we present a new Mm-energy of a knot. ... The described approach can be generalized to the case of graphs for some special types of energies. ...

We have assembled a homogeneous database of 417 ultraviolet (UV) extinction curves for reddened sight lines having International Ultraviolet Explorer spectra. ... We find that (1) the Cardelli, Clayton, Mathis (CCM) extinction law applies for 93% of the sight lines, implying that dust processing in the Galaxy is efficient and systematic, (2) the central wavelength of the 2175 ц… bump is constant, and (3) the 2175 ц… bump width is dependent on environment. ...
