In Actor Prolog a resident is a special mechanism that helps processes to inspect state of other processes. A resident observes the state of a specified (target) process and if the state of the process changes (for instance, after message handling) it proves a specified predicate of the process. ... Work of the resident. ... Any change of the list of target processes or arguments of resident function results in activation of the resident and repeated collection of information in the target worlds. ...

However, molecular emission features are only very rarely observed in the optical spectra of PPNe. ... On the other hand, it is well known that cometary nuclei spectra show prominent Swan band emission. In both spectra of IRAS04296 we have discovered strong emission in the (0;0) and (0;1) bands of the Swan system of the molecule. ... Now consider the case of IRAS04296. ...

The Hubble orbiting telescope. The Earth's atmosphere, while transparent to visible light, absorbs most "electromagnetic radiations" which belong to the same family as light: parts of the infra-red (IR) and all of the ultra-violet (UV), X-rays and gamma rays. ...

... This applet generates an observing list based on an observer's location and time. ... To use this program, enter in your location, and the local times at which you wish to begin and end observing. The date you enter should correspond to the calendar day at the time at which you begin observing. For example, if you wish to observe from 9:37 PM October 23, 2007 until 3:21 AM October 24, 2007, you would enter 21:37 for the starting time, 03:21 for the finish time, and 10/23/2007 for the date. ...

... In order to compare the number of different evolutionary stages obtained and X-ray luminosity of the chosen X-ray sources with the observed galactic values we use the sum of C/O+O/C , where C and O are the calculated and observed values of a given binary type, respectively. If we make comparison for a number of different binary species (for example, we compare the number of CV, number of X-ray pulsars,   total X-ray luminosity of LMXB, etc.), we write this criterion in the form: . ...

... This year's eclipse is unique in duration. ... Although, at the present time, there are 6 solar observatories belonging to leading space agencies in orbit around the Earth, the eclipse of 22 July, 2009, will only be seen by two of them: the Russian CORONAS-PHOTON satellite equipped with TESIS telescopes and Japan's HINODE satellite fitted with an XRT space telescope. ... TESIS will be the first of the two devices (and the very first on Earth) to witness the solar eclipse. ...

This diagram gives one visual rendering of a table that has been marked up especially for aural rendering. The table has a centered caption above it that reads "Travel Expense Report". ... In order to group information in a useful way, the table has a central column group with three columns, labeled "Meals", "Hotels", and "Transport" from left to right. The table's first column (to the left of the central column group) lists days of travel and labels these days with the city visited. ...
