... This relieves the rest of the computer from knowing how to use the drive, since the controllers for different types of disks can be made to use the same interface towards the rest of the computer. ... Usually the number of sectors is the same for all tracks, but some hard disks put more sectors in outer tracks (all sectors are of the same physical size, so more of them fit in the longer outer tracks). ... For example, a hard disk might have 8 heads, 2048 tracks, and 35 sectors per track . ...

... 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. ...

... Номер следующего наблюдения устанавливается всегда автоматически, однако существуют ситуации, когда нужно переустановить номер следующего наблюдения (например, предыдущее наблюдение было ошибочным).

При отсутствии параметра программа сначала покажет старое значение для номера следующего наблюдения, а после этого, запросит новое значение. ...

Since an encoded file is an ASCII file, you can edit it to change the access permissions and file label. The first line of an encoded file might be: begin 600 pictures.tar.Z . The number 600 defines the access permissions for the original file - which the decoded file will also have. ... To change the access permissions edit the number 600 to something more appropriate such as 644 and then save the file. You can change the file label in the same way. ...
