High sensitivity accelerometers for gravity experiments

I. Experiments with Rats

IN current nutritional research it is a matter of importance that methods should be made available for detecting the presence of partial or latent deficiencies in the human subject-in other words, methods for assessing the "level of nutrition". Several such tests have been elaborated during the past few years, including the urinary excretion ("saturation") test for vitamin C and the darkadaptat...

Experiments with Parallel I/o

Commodity hardware and operating systems can be used in place of expensive specialty parallel machines. On such Peer-to-Peer systems, high bandwidth I/O is needed for demanding applications. This work attempts to provide insight into what is needed to get acceptable performance from Peer-to-Peer style Parallel I/O using our Alpha Farm cluster of workstations .

High-Resolution Large-Eddy Simulations of Flow in a Steep Alpine Valley. Part I: Methodology, Verification, and Sensitivity Experiments

This paper investigates the steps necessary to achieve accurate simulations of flow over steep, mountainous terrain. Large-eddy simulations of flow in the Riviera Valley in the southern Swiss Alps are performed at horizontal resolutions as fine as 150 m using the Advanced Regional Prediction System. Comparisons are made with surface station and radiosonde measurements from the Mesoscale Alpine ...
