Computer life has been created by human being, the role of independent evolution of computer viruses seems to be still negligible. ...

Amanda Karakas One of the most important research fields in astrophysics is the study of the origin of the elements. ... Asymptotic Giant Blanch (AGB) Stars: For low and intermediate-mass stars (with initial masses between about 0.8 to 8 solar masses) the most important nucleosynthesis occurs when stars evolve off the main sequence to the giant branches. ... This indicates that these stars obtained their unusual abundances via mass transfer from a previous red giant star, that has long evolved away. ...

For Cycle 9 the Science Program Selection Office (SPSO) has changed the selection process to ensure that HST will continue to perform the best possible science with the best return for the astronomical community. This report summarizes the changes to the selection process and offers suggestions on writing an effective proposal that accounts for these changes. ... Fewer panels: With more orbits to allocate, each panel will have more flexibility, especially to approve the somewhat larger proposals. ...

The project of the informational system creation on the problem of evolution of radio galaxies, as a part of the "Big Trio" project aimed on studing of distant radio galaxies, is designed. This system allows a user to operate with simulated curves of spectral energy distributions (SED) to estimate ages and redshifts by photometry data. Authors use SEDs of several models for different types of galaxies. ... The HTTP and e-mail access is organized to this system. ...

. An operating system is the program that controls all the other parts of a computer system - both the hardware and the software.
