... For a semple of red giants comprising about 2000 stars, the distributions of metallicity [Fe/H] are given. ... The center of the distributions of giants in both galactic poles is found to demonstate a statisticaly significant gap similar to the one found earlier for the late main-sequence stars. The implications of the metallicity distribution properties for the problems of the chemical evolution of the galactic disk are discussed. ...

Next: Data reduction: moments Up: No Title Previous: Feature enhancement: local . ... When this is done for the energy map, with the energy scale distributed logarithmically, the result is shown on Fig. ... It can be shown that the mean magnitude at each duration reproduces the mean power spectrum in log-log coordinates. Therefore, this particular presentation of the probability density function shows graphically the scale-dependent scatter around the mean energy spectrum. ...

... Routines for accessing I/O ports are in /usr/include/asm/io.h (or linux/include/asm-i386/io.h in the kernel source distribution). ... Before you access any ports, you must give your program permission to do so. This is done by calling the ioperm() function (declared in unistd.h , and defined in the kernel) somewhere near the start of your program (before any I/O port accesses). ... For example, ioperm(0x300, 5, 1) would give access to ports 0x300 through 0x304 (a total of 5 ports). ...

... Intervening dark matter , which is normally invisible, might show its presence by distorting images originating in the distant universe , much the way an old window distorts images originating on the other side. By noting the degree to which background galaxies appear unusually flat and unusually similar to neighbors, the dark matter distribution producing these weak gravitational lensing distortions can be estimated. ...
