In the main part of this lecture, we will give an overview of the theory of fractal strings and of the associated complex fractal dimensions, with emphasis on the case of self-similar strings. ... These oscillations are expressed in terms of suitable explicit formulas (in the sense of number theory, but more general) and yield precise asymptotic expansions for certain geometric, dynamical or spectral counting functions associated to fractal strings. ...

Next: Data Analysis Applications . ... The past decade has witnessed a movement within the astronomical software community towards Open Systems . ... We present examples of user-customizable systems that can be built from existing tools, based on commonly-used infrastructure: a parameter interface library, FITS file format, Unix, and the X Windows environment. ... However, the currently available parameter file systems have serious limitations when inserted into a heterogeneous environment. ...

The rates of build-up in the atmosphere of human-made compounds that deplete the ozone layer (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons) have slowed in recent years as a direct result of reductions in global emissions of these compounds. ... The peak global ozone depletions are expected to occur during the next several years. ... Methyl bromide continues to be viewed as a significant ozone- depleting chemical. ...
