Imaging and timing performance of 1 cm x 1 cm position-sensitive solid-state photomultiplier

- 1 - PERFORMANCE OF THE SHALLOW WATER EQUATIONS ON THE CM - 200 and CM - 5

We describe the implementation of a fluid dynamical benchmark on two Thinking Machines Corporation parallel computers the 65,536 processor CM-200 computer and the 1024-node CM-5 computer. The benchmark, the Shallow Water Equations, is frequently used as a model for both oceanographic and atmospheric circulation. We describe the steps involved in implementing the algorithm on the computers and w...

Software Portability and the CM - 5 1

Portability is a desirable attribute of most programs. If programs can be easily adapted to various contemporary computing environments and to the new, improved environments of the future, their usefulness is broadened and software costs can be substantially reduced. This problem is especially acute for high-performance parallel software, because architectures evolve rapidly and are often radic...

Near Infrared Absorption of Ethylene between 8200 cm 1 and 9500 cm " 1 to High Pressures and Temperatures

The near infrared absorption of pure ethylene in the region of the second overtone of the C-H stretching fundamentals (8200 c m 1 to 9500 c m J ) was measured at supercritical temperatures {Tc = 9.5 °C) between 22 °C and 200 °C from 0.7 bar to 3000 bar. The density and temperature dependence of bandshape, maximum frequency and absorption intensity are reported and discussed. The bands observed ...

Optokinetic analysis of gait cycle during walking with 1 cm- and 2 cm-high heel lifts.

The use of orthotic heel lifts is proposed in many cases of Achilles tendon disorders as a first-line or conservative treatment. The use of heeled shoes induces a plantar flexion of the ankle joint with a consequent decrease in the tension forces acting onto the triceps surae. The question to address is how high must the heel be? Gait cycle using 1 cm- and 2 cm-high heel lifts was examined. Eac...
