... Low resolution, slitless spectral images were obtained at the Loiano Observatory in the wavelength window 3300-6420 ?, in order to identify in extragalactic objects targets displaying the most prominent features that characterise the spectrum of bright hot stars, WR and Luminous Blue Variables (LBV), and of nebular regions as well. We present the results with the well studied galaxy M 101, where the previously known H II regions with WR star signatures are easily identified. ...

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. ...
