... The numbers of three types of compact binaries containing accreting NSs and BHs, which are most interesting from the point of view of their observational appearances, have been calculated as a function of time: i) X-ray transient source containing a NS in an eccentric orbit around a main sequence Be-star (the observed prototype: A0535+26), ii) BH The evolution of the selected types of X-ray binaries during the first 10 million years after the starburst onset is presented in Fig. ...

The first persistent Web agent that we have created on Actor Prolog is a program that collects information about research groups that develop Prolog and projects in the field of logic programming. The agent looks through a given list of Web sites and calculates some attributes of the sites: the date of recent modification, total size, the number of figures, the number of outside links, the number of error links, the number of given keywords, etc. ... http://www.cplire.ru/Lab144/space/prolog.html . ...

... The planning and reduction programs are distributed with array sizes set large enough to let most observers work without difficulty. However, you might need to reduce a very large data set, or to deal with a very large number of passbands (9 is the nominal limit). ... The main problem is holding the matrix of normal equations during the iterations; on the other hand, star catalogs can be made quite large without paying much of a price in terms of performance. ...
