The processor allocation in an n-dimensional hypercube multiprocessor using buddy strategy, gray code strategy, and a new strategy is implemented on Macintosh. Our implementations show that when processor relinquishment is not considered (i.e. static allocation), all these strategies are optimal in the sense that each incoming request sequence is always...
The Server System/1 (SS/1) Design Editor is a graphical programming tool that provides a simple interface for object oriented parallel programming. Two difficult problems with parallel programming, partitioning, end visualization are addressed by the SS/1 Design Editor. An SS/1 program is structured using object oriented design concepts. This leads to...

A method is described for measuring the vertical component of velocity fluctuations due to three-dimensional turbulence in the ocean from a freely falling microstructure profiler. The dynamic pressure measurement relies on a commercially available and very sensitive piezoresistive differential pressure transducer. At nominal profiler fall speeds of 0.9 m s⁻¹,...

The RNA genome of tobacco etch virus (TEV), a plant potyvirus, functions as an mRNA for synthesis of a
346-kilodalton polyprotein that undergoes extensive proteolytic processing. The RNA lacks a normal 5' cap
structure at its terminus, which suggests that the mechanism of translational initiation differs from that of a...
Vapam(r) (NaMDC) is the fumigant most commonly used to arrest and control decay of utility poles. While volatile fungitoxins are detectable only 1 to 2 years after treatment, poles treated with Vapam(r) remain free of decay fungi for 6 to 17 years. Vapam(r) decomposes to produce volatile fungicides as well...
This report presents observations from a single mooring of velocity, temperature, conductivity, and pressure, made as part of the Ocean Storms experiment, conducted in the N.E. Pacific Ocean (47° 25.4' N, 139° 17.8' W) from August 1987 to June 1988. The mooring contained a total of 14 current meters, 4...
The Coordinated Eastern Arctic Experiment (CEAREX) was a multi-platform geophysical study covering the period from winter 1988 to spring 1989 in the vicinity of the Yermak Plateau and Fram Strait. The Oceanography ("0") Camp component of CEAREX was designed to study the physical oceanographic conditions from the deep Nansen Basin...
