... The plug-plates for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey are drilled with the plate elastically deformed over a convex mandrel and with the sky-facing side away from the mandrel. ... The deformation of the plug-plate by the drilling mandrel and the plug-plate cartridge causes radial distortion of the plate that must be anticipated by the computer numerical controlled (CNC) drilling program so that the end of each fiber optic is positioned correctly on the focal surface by the plug-plate. ...

MAKING THE PROFILES . First of all you are expected to load a FITS file ("FILE"-"LOAD"). ... By pressing the middle button you copy the profile from the first profile window to the second one. ... An example: first integral can correspond to the profile of active region and second integral can correspond to the profile of quiet chromospheric region. ... The second profile (which is subtracted from the first one) you extract after clicking on "SUBTRACT"-"MARK QUIET PROFILE" and marking the region. ...

Support data for calibrating the CCD consisted of eight bias frames and four 60-second dark frames. ... To rescue the images, we processed and registered the four 15-second integrations and the 60-second integration separately. ... The 60-second images were then registered to the composite of 15-second images to produce the image M11-COMBO.FTS. ...

Abstract . A self-consistent model for the dynamical and chemical evolution of dense interstellar clouds is examined. The model includes the basic atomic and molecular constituents of dense clouds and the reactions in which they are involved. ... The results of one-dimensional modeling of the early stages of collapse of protostellar clouds of different masses under the action of ultraviolet radiation are presented. Astrophysical applications of the results obtained are discussed. ...

Berlin, Germany . Berlin was founded in the early thirteenth century as the capital of Brandenburg. ... After the Second World War, the city was partitioned into East and West Berlin. ... Though medical and educational facilities were well funded in both East and West Berlin, housing remained a problem for both. Inadequate housing retarded the population growth of East Berlin, and West Berlin suffered from the destruction of one third of its housing to during the Second World War. ...

This is how a typical dispersion modeling result looks when shown as a map. ... Their numerical values are shown at the top. White normally means no data, but high values may be also shown as white if above the fixed high limit (that is, if no automatic normalization is used for colors). Note that calculations were done both for cell positions and for station positions, so both are colored. PO territories are filled by color corresponding to the average value of cells overlaying them. ...
