Css Test

The W3C CSS Working Group maintains a CSS test suite already composed of more than 17,000 tests and growing constantly. Tracking the results of running such a large number of tests on a PDF formatter is more than anyone could or should want to do by hand. The system needs to track when a test’s result changes so that the changes can be verified and the test’s status updated. Finding differences is not the same as checking correctness. An in-house system for running the tests and tracking their results has been implemented as an eXist-db app. Is it a masterpiece of agile development, or an example of creeping featurism?

The Working GroupGalactic Centerwas created following a Business Meeting meeting of Division VIIGalactic Systems, held with the concurrence of Division VIIIGalaxies and the Universe, at the IAU XXVI General Assembly in Prague, 2006. The objective of the meeting was to highlight both recent progress on understanding the Galactic Center as well as to illustrate the way in which the center of the Milky Way Galaxy serves as a laboratory for understanding other galactic nuclei.

Earth Dynamics

An ideal definition of a reference coordinate system should meet the following general requirements:1. It should be as conceptually simple as possible, so its philosophy is well understood by the users.2. It should imply as few physical assumptions as possible. Wherever they are necessary, such assumptions should be of a very general character and, in particular, they should not be dependent upon astronomical and geophysical detailed theories.3. It should suggest a materialization that is dynamically stable and is accessible to observations with the required accuracy.

Observational Techniques

The focus of discussion in Working Group 3 was on the Thermodynamic Properties as determined spectroscopically, including the observational techniques and the theoretical modeling of physical processes responsible for the emission spectrum. Recent advances in observational techniques and theoretical concepts make this discussion particularly timely. It is wise to remember that the determination of thermodynamic parameters is not an end in itself and that these are interesting chiefly for what they can tell us about the energetics and mass transport in prominences.
