... 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. ...

NAME apachectl - Apache HTTP server control interface SYNOPSIS apachectl command [.. DESCRIPTION apachectl is a front end to the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to help the adminis- trator control the functioning of the Apache httpd daemon. NOTE: If your Apache installation uses non-standard paths, you will need to edit the apachectl script to set the appropriate paths to your PID file and your httpd binary. See the comments in the script for details. ...
