SUMMARY OF THE RESEARCH PROPOSAL by Maxim Vsemirnov Research topic: Hurwitz and (2,3)-generated matrix groups and related problems. ... The reason to study these groups arises from the fact that the class of (2, 3)-generated groups together with three cyclic groups {1}, C2 and C3 is exactly the class of quotients of the classical modular group PSL2 (Z). ... The answer is known for sporadic groups, some exceptional groups of Lie type and for the most series of classical matrix groups of large rank. ...

Each Apache configuration directive is described using a common format that looks like this: . ... This indicates the format of the directive as it would appear in a configuration file. This syntax is extremely directive-specific, and is described in detail in the directive's definition. ... If the directive has a default value ( i.e. , if you omit it from your configuration entirely, the Apache Web server will behave as though you set it to a particular value), it is described here. ...

... The overall globular cluster population is divided by gap in the metallicity function at [Fe/H]=-1.0 into two discrete groups with well-defined maxima at [Fe/H]=-1.60?0.03 dex, and -0.60?0.04 dex. ... Clusters with extremely blue horizontal branches occupy a spherical volume of radius ~ 9 kpc, have high rotational velocities ( V rot =77?33 km/s), have substantial and equal negative radial and vertical metallicity gradients, and are, on average, the oldest group (the old-halo subsystem). ...

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...

... Introduction: In the present work the morphometric parameters for 87 large martian craters [1](with diameters from 411 up to 110 kms) have been determined: depth of a crater, the relation of depth of a crater to diameter (/D), height of a rim ­ h, with the help of profiles constructed on the basis of supervision of space vehicle MGS [2].The comparison with similar morphometric parameters of large lunar craters also is fulfiled. ... 2000) Morphological Calague Of the Craters Of Mars. ...
