Aerospace Research in Bulgaria. 25, 2013, Sofia ANALYTICAL COMPUTATION OF TWO INTEGRALS, APPEARING IN THE THEORY OF ELLIPTICAL ACCRETION DISCS. I. SOLVING OF THE AUXILIARY INTEGRALS, EMERGING DURING THEIR DERIVATIONS Dimitar Dimitrov Space Research and Technology Institute – Bulgarian Academy of Sciences e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present work is a part of an extended analytical investigation of the dynamical equation, determining the spatial structure of the stationary elliptical accretion discs, according to the model of Lyubarskij et al. [1]. In the mathematical description of the problem are used as parameters the eccentricity e(u) of the particle orbits, and its derivative ė(u) ≡ de(u)/du ,where u ≡ ln(p), and p is the focal parameter of the considered orbit. During the process of simplification of that equation, there arises 2π the necessity of analytical evaluations of integrals of the following types: Ai(e, ė) ≡ ∫(1 + +ecosφ) – idφ, 0 2π 2π – 1 – k – k (i = 1,…,5), Jk(e, ė) ≡ ∫(1 + ecosφ) [1 + (e – ė)cosφ] dφ and Hk(e, ė) ≡ ∫(1 + ecosφ) × 0 0 ×[1 + (e – ė)cosφ] – 1dφ, (k = 1,…,4). In these formulas φ is the azimuthal angle, over which the averaging is taken. The approach in solving of the task is, in fact, recursive. At first, we evaluate the integrals with the smallest i and k (i.e., i and k equal to unity). After then, we go to the next steps, gradually increasing the integer powers i or k, until achieving the designated values 5 or 4, correspondingly. A special attention is devoted to these values of e(u) and ė(u) (and their difference e(u) - ė(u) ), which, eventually, may cause divergences in the intermediate or the final expressions. It is shown that although such troubles arise, they can be overcome by means of a direct substitution of the “peculiar” values of e(u) and/or ė(u) into the integrals, and after then performing the calculations. Even if the denominators in the final results appear factors equal to zero (due to the nullifications of e(u), ė(u) or e(u) – ė(u) ), the expressions are not

  • Bulgarian Cinema 2014 Facts / Figures / Trends Editorial
    BULGARIAN CINEMA 2014 FACTS / FIGURES / TRENDS EDITORIAL This special edition, prepared by the Bulgarian National Film Centre in con- junction with CREATIVE EUROPE MEDIA desk – Bulgaria, and with the help of the Observatory of Cultural Economics – Bulgaria, presents the current state of affairs in Bulgaria’s audiovisual industry. We did our best to offer more information both about the training in the field of cinema studies and the financing opportunities in this country, as well as about gaining support outside Bulgaria, the recent Bulgarian productions and their success, about the TV environment and the legislation. This year, we of- fer an exclusive analytical study (Chapter XII), conducted by the Observatory of Cultural Economics, which we deem to be important, as it considers the Bulgarian film industry to be a driving force of economic growth. We believe that the booklet could expand on the idea of the processes taking place in Bulgarian film industry. We also believe that the reference information, providing addresses and con- tact details of producers, festivals, distributors and institutions, could prove helpful to our readers to establish contact and enter into dialogue with their Bulgarian colleagues more easily. I LEGISLATION The institutional and legal environment for the development of Bulgarian film industry, set over the years of transition, contains legislation, secondary legislation and institutional bodies established under these.

Aerospace Research in Bulgaria. 25, 2013, Sofia APPLICATION OF AEROSPACE METHODS FOR MONITORING OF FOREST FIRES AND EVALUATION OF BURNED AREA IN HASKOVO REGION IN THE SUMMER OF 2011 Maria Dimitrova, Iva Ivanova, Mariana Zaharinova, Roumen Nedkov Space Research and Technology Institute – Bulgarian Academy of Sciences e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The most significant forest and field fires in Haskovo region in the summer of 2011 are looked through. Information about physico-geographic characteristics of the area, land cover, etc. are gathered and analyzed in GIS. Тhe location and the area affected by the largest fire are being determined based on sattelite data. An analysis of the affected area is done. Introduction Haskovo region is situated in the East part of South Bulgaria. It has an area of 5534 km2 that is 5% of the country area. In the region there are 261 urban places, arranged in 11 municipalities - Haskovo, Dimitrovgrad, Svilengrad, Lyubimets, Harmanli, Madzharovo, Simeonovgrad, Ivaylovgrad Topolovgrad, Mineral Baths and Stambolovo. The municipality borders are: the districts of Plovdiv, Stara Zagora, Yambol, Kardzhali. In the South-East region it borders with Greece and Turkey. The region is crossed by the railway line Sofia - Istanbul and the highway “Trakia”. The territory of Haskovo region covers the southwestern ridges of the Sakar Mountain and the northern parts of the Eastern Rhodopes. Though the region flow the rivers Maritsa, Arda and Sazliyka. There are hot springs and balneological resorts in the area of Haskovski Mineral Baths and Merichleri, in Simeonovgrad and Dolno Botevo.
