PILGRIM A Parallel Library for Grid Manipulations in Earth Science Calculations

This o ce note discusses the design of PILGRIM a library which will support the manipu lations of grids in Earth Science software currently being designed and implemented at the Data Assimilation O ce DAO It allows various grids to be distributed over an array of processing elements PEs and manipulated with high parallel e ciency Unlike many parallel libraries the developer takes some basic res...

A pilgrim seeking diagnosis

We present the case of an unusual presentation of Dressler’s syndrome and the important role of new imaging techniques in its diagnosis. A 42-year-old man was admitted with progressive dyspnoea and pleuritic chest pain during the last two months. Physical examination showed signs of hemodynamic instability (BP 75/40, HR 120 bpm). X-Ray showed cardiomegaly and electrocardiogram was suggestive of...

Fourier analysis and the Takenaka-Malmquist basis

We consider problems related to the generalization of the classical Fourier basis to a basis of rational functions with prescribed poles outside the unit disk. We give some generalizations about the convergence and estimation of the Fourier coefficients with respect to this generalized basis. We also consider a rational generalization of the classical Toeplitz matrices and consider the asymptot...

Are web stabilimenta attractive to praying mantids?

Certain species of orb-weavers add extra silk structures, termed a stabilimentum or web decoration, to their webs. In the genus Argiope stabilimenta are silken structures of densely woven zig-zag ribbons. The adaptive value of these stabilimenta is still unclear and controversially discussed. In the course of time, many functional hypotheses have been proposed for silk stabilimenta. Because of ...
