We present an implementation of Active Messages and four implementations of the Split-C parallel programming language over the Virtual Interface Architecture user-level networking system running on the Berkeley Millennium cluster. This cluster is composed of 16 2-way SMP Intel 400 MHz PII processors using Myrinet network interface cards. Results from application benchmarks show that the best Sp...

s:1080:"Background: Studies have shown that gasoline vapor influences many physiological aspects of body. The present study was exerted to evaluate the effects of gasoline vapor inhalation on serum levels of testosterone in male rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, gasoline vapor receiving for 1hour, 2 hours and 3 hours/day. After 10 weeks, blood sam...

Gaussian split Ewald (GSE) is a versatile Ewald mesh method that is fast and accurate when used with both real-space and k-space Poisson solvers. While real-space methods are known to be asymptotically superior to k-space methods in terms of both computational cost and parallelization efficiency, k-space methods such as smooth particle-mesh Ewald (SPME) have thus far remained dominant because t...

Vapor film formation and growth due to contact of a hot body and other liquids arise in some industrial applications including nuclear fuel rods, foundry and production of paper. The possibility of a steam explosion remains in most of these cases which could result in injuries and financial damage. Due to the importance of such phenomenon, this study deals with vapor layer forming, growth, and ...

OBJECTIVES Male infertility is on the rise. Artificial insemination is an option in many cases like oligozoospermia or oligoasthenozoospermia. Homologous insemination is helpful for some couples in whom sperm count is low. This study was aimed to understand the most suitable portion of split ejaculate for insemination and also the level of calcium and magnesium in each split. MATERIALS AND ME...

Via molecular dynamics simulations, we have studied the kinetics of vapor–“solid” phase transition in an active matter model which self-propulsion is introduced via well-known Vicsek rule.
