... In our numerical experiments we have mainly considered two test objects provided by R.

... The obtained results lead to the following conclusions: a) the heavy element enrichment had taken place in the Galaxy in a few bursts of its activity rether than in a continuons manner; b) these bursts occured during the callapse of the early Galaxy; c) the star formation had been inhibited in the time of the bursts; d) the metal enrichment did not proceed in the periods of star formation, between these bursts of activity. ...

... The procedure of radiometer signal integration can be considered as a sort of reducing dimension of the initial sampling space, where the samples are the result of analog-to-digital conversion. ... The probability distribution of the signal and spikes is completely known. ... The quality of the considered algorithm could be also illustrated by Figure 2 . ... One could see the considered adaptive algorithm is preferable even by low degree of compression, because all spikes have been depressed. ...

Results on nonequilibrium distributions of charged particles and radioisotope sources of current are as the following: . the new power-law distribution of charged particles in nonequilibrium media, for example, in the thin metalic films, under powerful energy source pumping were obtained ( together with V.I.Karas, V.M.Kontoriovich, V.E.Novikov); . ...

... This represents the first HI selected sample covering the core and the outskirts of a local cluster of galaxies. ... Optically selected samples miss a considerable number of low luminosity, low surface brightness galaxies underestimating by almost a factor 2 the number of HI rich galaxies present in the cluster volume. ... Right: The g band luminosity function for galaxies in the A1367 volume as obtained from the optically (circles) and HI (histogram) selected sample. ...

Next: Stars without Periods Up: Other Stars Previous: Stars with Highly . ... However, due to lower signal to noise their periods are less secure. ... This could be interpreted as a continuous distribution with statistically insignificant deviations which give the appearance of gaps or a real gap. ... When the distributions of periods greater five days are compared for the ONC stars and those near Orionis the KS test gives a 47% probability of these distributions being drawn from the same population. ...
