... ICND-96, Saratov, Russia. ... And though a number of efficient methods of digital sound compression is developed by far, there is still a need in new efficient methods. In this report we study a possibility of application of fractal methods to compression of speech signals. ... In this method, a speech frame is divided into larger pieces called domains, and smaller ones called regions, and an optimal set of affine transformations of domains into regions is calculated. ...

Authors: Yu.G. Shevelev , V.A. Marsakov , . ... We have constructed and investigated properties of metallicity function of disk stars with different ages, proceeding from the statistically restored real altitude distributions of stars at the solar galactocentric distance. It is shown that the metallicity distribution of stars in each age range is not of Gaussian form, but it may be considered as a superposition of two normal distributions centered at -0.2 and 0.0 dex. ...

Polarization properties of two pulsars R. N. Manchester (ATNF, CSIRO, Australia) . ... Abstract Mean pulse polarization properties at 1.4, 4.6 and 8.3 GHz and rotation measures are presented for two pulsars with unusually wide profiles. PSR J0437-4715 is a millisecond pulsar with significant emission over at least 80% of the pulse period. It shows a complicated variation of linear position angle across the pulse indicating substantial departures from a dipole field structure. ...

... X-ray (left) and magnetic field (right) evolution of an X-ray jet in coronal hole. ...
