... The distribution of redshifts among the DXRBS FSRQs identified so far (Figure 3) is quite similar to that of the 1 Jy and S4 samples. ... A more thorough comparison will have to await completion of our survey and the convolution of the redshift distribution with the WGACAT sky coverage. As has already been mentioned by Hook et al. (1996), selecting flat-spectrum sources is an efficient way of finding high-redshift, radio-loud quasars. ...

... ROTATION CURVE: When studying spiral galaxies it is invariably found that the stellar rotational velocity in the disk remains constant, or "flat", with increasing distance away from the galactic center. ... The rotation speed of the stars in galaxies is found NOT to decrease with increasing distance from the galactic center (see emission lines in the spectrum), implying that the overall mass distribution of the galaxy is different from the light distribution. ...

The absorption of MHD waves due to the cusp (or the slow) resonance is studied numerically and the obtained results are discussed with respect to a possible application to conditions that are typical for the solar corona. The considered configuration is composed of two homogeneous regions separated by an inhomogeneous slab through which all physical parameters of the medium change continuously according to an initially prescribed distribution. ...

To construct two-dimension distribution of minor planets user should specify elements/ parameters/ function that will be plotted as abscissas and ordinates. In three-dimension case one should add to them the element plotted on Z axis. ... Though you may choose elements plotted along different axes at will, often there is good reason to plot such elements as a, n, or n" along X axis (two-dimension distributions) and to plot them along Y axis in three-dimension case. ...

. A distribution list is very useful where a group of users need to communicate amongst themselves on a regular basis. Each list is given a name just like any other user. By addressing a message to the list name, the sender can be sure that everyone will receive a copy. You cannot set up a distribution list yourself. Ask your system administrator to set one up for you.
