This document describes when and how to use name-based virtual hosts. ... IP-based virtual hosts use the IP address of the connection to determine the correct virtual host to serve. ... To use name-based virtual hosting, you must designate the IP address (and possibly port) on the server that will be accepting requests for the hosts. ... For example, suppose that you are serving the domain www.domain.tld and you wish to add the virtual host www.otherdomain.tld , which points at the same IP address. ...

... Course Content and Philosophy: . This course is designed to be an exploration of the process by which the Universe grows to a state of self-awareness, as defined by the emergence of intelligence which asks questions and seeks information about that very Universe. More specifically, it is a study in the evolution of ideas, based on observations, and the development of a non-unique evolutionary model that describes the origin of the Universe and the development of life. ...

Information about this camera is below . ... Yes , I did in fact put on the web one of the earliest web cameras ever. I can document the software as early as May 1994 (based both on backup tapes, as well as the May 1994 annular eclipse which we imaged using one of these cameras), although I'm sure I had things working over the winter before that. I can't remember if my inspiration was that someone else put a camera on the web, or that someone else had a camera on the Mbone in their office. ...

... We describe the construction of convolution kernels that allow one to generate (multiwavelength) images with a common PSF, thus preserving the colors of the astronomical sources. We generate convolution kernels for the cameras of Spitzer, Herschel Space Observatory, Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), ground-based optical telescopes (Moffat functions and sum of Gaussians), and Gaussian PSFs. ...

Name-based virtual hosting is usually simpler, since you need only configure your DNS server to map each hostname to the correct IP address and then configure the Apache HTTP Server to recognize the different hostnames. ...

Next: Observational Zoo of Binaries Up: No Title Previous: Contents . In the early 1980s, our understanding of binary star evolution љ based on the pioneer work by Paczynski (1971)[ 150 ], Tutukov and Yungelson (1973)[ 195 ], van den Heuvel and Heise (1972)[ 201 ], allowed us to construct a general evolutionary scenario љ which successfully explained the genesis of well-studied normal stars and offered potential explanation for new X-ray sources discovered in space experiments. ...

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. ...

... Previous: New Image Quick-Look System for Subaru Telescope Data Archive . ... We have developed a quick and easy data evaluation system for use with the observations of the Subaru telescope High Dispersion Spectrograph (HDS). The system, named OZEKI/B, is based on a general purpose image browser, NAOimage, which is a newly developed core system utility. ... For these purposes, using Java we have developed a new image browser, OZEKI/B, that provides an efficient quicklook of echelle images. ...

... According to the big bang theory, huge amounts of energy were released, giving rise to matter, antimatter and dark matter. ... The Big Bang Theory has enabled scientists to make certain predictions. ... These particles are the building blocks of matter, antimatter and dark matter. ... This could theoretically happen if the hydrogen was shockheated to over 100000 C. The Big Bang Theory is only a theory and so there is no concrete evidence to suggest that it is entirely correct. ...
