REPORT ON PIERRE DELIGNE FELLOWSHIP, 2010 SERGEY OBLEZIN During 2010 I have been working on developing a representation theory approach to mirror symmetry and quantum cohomology of homogeneous spaces, associated to Lie groups of classical type. According to Givental the glN -Whittaker functions, being solutions to the quantum cohomology D-module QH (FlN ) of the complete flag variety FlN = GLN (C)/B , describe the corresponding equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of FlN . ...

... Especially necessary for an assessment of the calibration reliability of simulations of the different observing modes (still to be performed by the XMM-Newton calibration teams) was the closure of the loop between simulation and data analysis. This has been done complementing the SciSim release with the release of 90 specific SciSim calibration files included in the SciSim CCF tarfile , together with the corresponding Calibration Index file CCF_scisim.cif. ...

We have produced a high-level overview of PROS. ... The incremental stages were the short-term goals: a project overview diagram (i.e., an organizational diagram of software modules); high-level diagram (i.e., a bubble diagram of each module in the system); and unifying element tables (i.e., tables of task vs. software attributes)....

... 2007 June 2 . 3D Full Moon . ... Explanation: Get out your red/blue glasses and check out this satisfying stereo anaglyph of the Full Moon. ... Regardless of your preferred technique for stereo viewing , the 3D effect comes from combining pictures of the same scene taken at different angles -- mimicking the slightly different perspective of each eye. Perhaps surprisingly for Earthdwellers , getting two pictures of the Full Moon from different angles only requires a little patience. ...

... The value of tile-size, NW , may be thought of as a sixth coordinate axis in the chirplet transform parameter space - TF-area. Including this sixth coordinate axis provides us with a hierarchical (multi-resolution) CCT. ... Various 2- D slices through the multiresolution CCT may correspond to useful tilings of the TF plane with true parallelograms (true to the extent that the DPSS define a truly rectangular region in the TF plane). ...

. The polar diagram shows the spacecraft corrected geomagnetic co-ordinates : co-latitude - local time . The geomagnetic co-latitude in the range (10 ° , 50 ° ) is shown with 10 ° step. The geomagnetic local time meridians correspond to 6, 12 and 18 hours. The different colours are used for each of the 4 spacecraft. On the plot the SC names are shown by the corresponding colours.

In this chapter we will consider an example of visual expert system written on the Actor Prolog language. ... There are a lot of methods of oil field bed stimulation that increase output of the oil production: thermal, physical-chemical, gas, microbiological, and others. ... Fig. ... The Top-Most diagram consists of three blocks: the "Describe parameters of hydrocarbon field" block, the "Check adaptability of existed methods of oil production" block, and the "Display solution" block. ...

To construct two-dimension distribution of minor planets user should specify elements/ parameters/ function that will be plotted as abscissas and ordinates. In three-dimension case one should add to them the element plotted on Z axis. ... Though you may choose elements plotted along different axes at will, often there is good reason to plot such elements as a, n, or n" along X axis (two-dimension distributions) and to plot them along Y axis in three-dimension case. ...

Stellar Clusters are very useful laboratories for empirically studying stellar evolution. ... All cluster stars are at the same distance . All cluster stars have the same physical age . ... CM diagram Young Cluster In this case we see the Main Sequence fully represented. The blue dots represent massive stars with short main sequence lifetimes. ... Thus, identifying the most massive star which is still on the main sequence is an effective means of determining the age of a stellar cluster. ...
