COMMENTS
The product of exponents in the canonical prime factorization of n, or A005361(n), is a function of the second signature of n (cf. A212172). Since A181800 consists of the first integer of each second signature, this sequence gives the value of A005361 for each second signature in order of its first appearance.
a(n) also gives the number of divisors of A212638(n), a permutation of A025487. Each positive integer n appears A001055(n) times in this sequence.

FORMULA
a(n) = A005361(A181800(n)).
a(n) = A000005(A212638(n)).
EXAMPLE
The product of the exponents in the prime factorization of 144 (2^4*3^2) is 4*2 = 8. Since 144 = A181800(10), a(10) = 8.
