Underdetermined sets is a new type of data structures (terms) developed in Actor Prolog . ... The point is that an underdetermined set can include some indefinite rest (a tail) like a list in usual Prolog . At the same time, the order of elements of an underdetermined set can be arbitrary one and it does not affect results of unification of underdetermined sets. Moreover, Actor Prolog guarantees that a rest of an underdetermined set never contains elements that are explicitly given in the set. ...

... To run the <LAYER> version of the example, select: flower.htm . ... However, if the page had several layers with absolute positions, and you wanted to place another layer in a relative position to one of the existing layers, you could use inline JavaScript to calculate the value for LEFT or TOP . ... In this example, there is really no need to use inline JavaScript to position the last flower layer, since you could just let the TOP value default to its natural value, as in the other flower layers. ...

... 3 ­ Sternberg State Astronomical Institute, Moscow, :jeanna@sai.msu.ru The graphic method of the analysis of an arrangement of linear structural elements on geographical and geological maps of continents (A.V.Dolitsky, [1]) has allowed to find out global stress fields of the past and among them one which directions (the main normal and maximal tangents) describe more than 80 % of all linear elements of a relief. ... The found poles share program way on density of an arrangement on 3-4 groups. ...

Abstract -- Calculations are performed for the circular polarization of maser radiation from a turbulent, Keplerian disk that is intended to represent the sub-parsec disk at the nucleus of the galaxy NGC4258. ... This turbulence, along with the Keplerian velocity gradients and the blending of the three hyperfine components to form the 6 16 --5 32 masing transition of water, are key ingredients in determining the appearance of the polarized spectra that are calculated. ...

Since this represents energy leaving the black hole, it will slowly release all of its mass in this fashion." ... If a pair of particles is produced which gets its rest mass energy from the gravitational field of the hole, and one particle is lost, then there will be a decrease in the energy of the hole. ...

... As a result of BTA observations of 23 chemically peculiar stars with strong magnetic fields, it was found that in 22 of them the longitudinal magnetic field, measured from the hydrogen line cores are considerably lower (by about 1/3) than the value measured from metal lines in the same spectra. ...
