  • Implementing a Run-time Library for a Parallel MATLAB Compiler

    Creator:
    Malishevsky, Alexey
    Abstract:
    Programming parallel machines has been a difficult and unrewarding task. The short lifespan of parallel machines and their incompatibility have made it difficult to utilize them. Our goal here is to create an environment for parallel computing which allows users to take advantage of parallel computers without writing parallel programs....

  • Gamma irradiation inactivation kinetics of medically important bacteria contaminating seafoods

    Creator:
    Quinn, Dorothy Jean
    Abstract:
    Gamma irradiation inactivation kinetics were studied using fifteen organisms naturally contaminating seafoods. Survival curves for seven Salmonella, three Shigella, two Streptococcus species and a Staphylococcus, Escherichia and Proteus species were determined using Hartsell's broth and fresh oysters. Also, the Shigella species and one species of Streptococcus, Escherichia and Proteus were...

  • An Evaluation of the Effects of Hatchery and Management Practices on Geomagnetic Orientation Behavior in Juvenile Pacific Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

    Creator:
    Scanlan, Michelle M.
    Abstract:
    Numerous populations of salmon and trout undergo extensive migrations, migrating from freshwater to the sea and throughout ocean basins. Years later they return to their natal streams with remarkable accuracy and precision. The outward migration is accomplished without the benefit of following experienced migrants or prior individual experience. Evidence suggests...

  • Fauna of the Permian rocks near Quinn River Crossing, Nevada

    Creator:
    Lembach, Dixie Jane
    Abstract:
    The Permian rocks near Quinn River Crossing, Humboldt County, Nevada, crop out as a north-trending block-faulted ridge and consist of more than 2600 feet of middle Permian fossiliferous limestone. About 1000 feet of unfossiliferous cherty shales, sandstones, and conglomerates are associated with the limestone and are assumed also to be...

  • Cytochrome P-450 monooxygenases in the mosquito, Culex pipiens

    Creator:
    Baldridge, Gerald D.
    Abstract:
    A sucrose density-gradient ultracentrifugation technique for obtaining microsomes has been developed. This technique has advantages over the classic differential centrifugation technique, in that it is faster, is better suited to work with small quantities of tissue, and offers the opportunity to work with a defined microsomal sub-cellular fraction, rather than...

  • Task-parallel extension of a data-parallel language

    Creator:
    Macielinski, Damien D.
    Abstract:
    Two prevalent models of parallel programming are data parallelism and task parallelism. Data parallelism is the simultaneous application of a single operation to a data set. This model fits best with regular computations. Task parallelism is the simultaneous application of possibly different operations to possibly different data sets. This fits...

  • Empirical studies of a WYSIWYT testing methodology

    Creator:
    Rothermel, Karen J.
    Abstract:
    Is it possible to achieve some of the benefits of formal testing within the informal programming conventions of the spreadsheet paradigm? We investigate an approach that attempts to do so via the development of a testing methodology for this paradigm. The "What You See Is What You Test" (WYSIWYT) methodology...

  • Microwave methods of measuring resistivity of gallium arsenide

    Creator:
    Quinn, Alexander C.
    Abstract:
    This paper is concerned with the determination of gallium arsenide resistivity by measurement of attenuation of microwave energy at 7500 megacycles transmitted through a slice. The first section of this paper describes gallium arsenide properties as compared to silicon, germanium, silicon carbide, and diamond. A description is then given of...

  • Decomposition of di-p-toluenesulfonyl-hydrazones

    Creator:
    Bradway, Diane Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    Thermal decomposition of several di-p-toluenesulfonylhydrazones was studied. It was found that the carbene decomposition of tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanedione, di-p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone gave two products resulting from rearrangement. One was identified as 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-hexatriene. A tentative structure for the second was proposed. During the course of the study, a more convenient procedure for thermal decompositions was...

  • PedVac - a graphical interface and front-end to a parallel pedestrian evacuation simulator

    Creator:
    Vimawala, Ankush V.
    Abstract:
    The World Trade Center disaster brought into focus, tragically, the need for well-designed evacuation systems in modem buildings. Today, designing an efficient evacuation system has become an integral part of designing large buildings. Simulation software enables an evacuation system to be evaluated. Modern day buildings, whether airports, auditoriums, public office...
