Global Change, Fisheries, and the Integrity of Marine Ecosystems: The Future Has Already Begun

Given that the sun continues to shine as it does now, the physicists can tell us that further increases of greenhouse gases will cause the Earth's atmosphere to become warmer, a strong and most probably correct prediction. Meteorologists and other atmospheric scientists-especially those with access to global climate models-can predict the regional structure of the climate that should result, in...

BooNE Has Begun

There are now several sources of evidence for neutrino oscillations. There is evidence from solar neutrino experiments, which observe fewer electron neutrinos than would be consistent with the sun’s energy output [1]. In addition, the recent SNO results indicate that there is a nonelectron flavor active neutrino component in the solar flux [2,3]. Evidence also comes from experiments studying ne...

MPI in 2002: Has it Been Ten Years Already?

In April of 1992, a group of parallel computing vendors, computer science researchers, and application scientists met at a one-day workshop and agreed to cooperate on the development of a community standard for the message-passing model of parallel computing. The MPI Forum that eventually emerged from that workshop became a model of how a broad community could work together to improve an import...
