The integers $ a_n=\sum_{k=0}^n{\binom nk}^2{\binom{n+k}k}^2, n=0,1,2,... $ appear as denominators of rational approximations to $\zeta(3)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty k^{-3}$ in Apery's proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$. The sequence satisfies a polynomial recursion, namely, $ (n+1)^3a_{n+1}-(2n+1)(17n^2+17n+5)a_n+n^3a_{n-1}=0$, where $n=0,1,2,...$, and admits several curious congruence properties. ...

... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...

... The obtained results lead to the following conclusions: a) the heavy element enrichment had taken place in the Galaxy in a few bursts of its activity rether than in a continuons manner; b) these bursts occured during the callapse of the early Galaxy; c) the star formation had been inhibited in the time of the bursts; d) the metal enrichment did not proceed in the periods of star formation, between these bursts of activity. ...

... ADC_Keywords: Galaxy catalogs ; Nonstellar objects Description: NGC 2000.0 is a modern compilation of the New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (NGC), the Index Catalogue (IC), and the Second Index Catalogue compiled by J. L. E. Dreyer (1888, 1895, 1908). ... The order of the new catalog is strictly by right ascension, the NGC and IC objects being merged into one machine-readable file. ... The book also contains a table of right ascensions for NGC and IC objects. ...

... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...

... Paul Czarapata, Glen Federwitz, John Anderson, and eventually Claudio Rivetta (all FNAL) were on site to commission the telescope's control and interlock systems. Angie Prosapio and Steve Bastian were also able to assist in this effort. Glen reviewed the newly printed wiring sheets and then compared and tested them to the interlock and control rack on the lower level. ... Despite the poor weather, the word is that commissioning of the interlock and controls system went as planned. ...

. You can compare any two versions of a file that is under the control of SCCS with the sccsdiff command: /usr/sccs/sccsdiff -r version -r version s. filename . Using this command produces a line by line difference between the two versions of the file. Results are shown in the same format as that produced by the diff command. Examples .
