Russian State Time and Earth Rotation Service: Observations, Eop Series, Prediction Russian State Time, Frequency and Earth Rotation Service provides the official EOP data and time for use in scientific, technical and metrological works in Russia. The observations of GLONASS and GPS on 30 stations in Russia, and also the Russian and worldwide observations data of VLBI (35 stations) and SLR (20 stations) are used now. To these three series of EOP the data calculated in two other Russian analysis centers are added: IAA (VLBI, GPS and SLR series) and MCC (SLR). Joint processing of these 7 series is carried out every day (the operational EOP data for the last day and the predicted values for 50 days). The EOP values are weekly refined and systematic errors of every individual series are corrected. The combined results become accessible on the VNIIFTRI server (ftp.imvp.ru) approximately at 6h UT daily.

Abstract. Sixty-seven subjects Q-sorted 47 written messages according to creativeness. Message ratings were factor analyzed. Subjects were tested for creative aptitude on the Remote Associates Test. The predominate factor, creativeness, accounted for 11 percent of the common factor variance. The thirteen subjects salient on this factor had moderate to high RAT scores, indicating that creativeness aptitude provides a basis for judging creativeness of writing. The creativeness factor scores and 24 stylistic measures of each message were correlated. The correlations were factor analyzed. Three factors having moderatesized loadings on creativeness emerged. Four stylistic indices loaded highly on one of these factors. The multiple correlation between these four indices and creativeness factor scores was .67. A multiple regression equation was generated, which may be used as a stylistic correlate measure of creativeness.
