Divide-and-conquer has been demonstrated as a simple and efficient programming model for grid applications. In previous work, we have presented the divide-and-conquer based Satin system and its load balancing algorithm, clusteraware work stealing (CRS). In this paper, we provide a detailed analysis of CRS with respect to important properties of grid systems, namely scalability, heterogeneous co...

The in-plane thermo-elastic behaviour of woven fabric reinforced composites is analysed using a combination of published micromechanics and finite element techniques. The repetitive unit of an arbitrary woven fabric composite is divided into elements of which the thermo-elastic properties are determined using micromechanics. The properties of the repetitive unit are obtained using the finite el...

The lepidopteran family Lymantriidae contains about 200 genera and about 2,500 described species, mostly from the Old World Tropics (DeWorms, 1983). Of the 46 recognized species and subspecies of Lymantriidae in North America, 30% are considered pests (Ferguson, 1978). The pest species include three introduced species which have become established in North America, the gypsy moth, Lymantria dis...

The high-energy particle transport code NMTC/JAM, which has been developed at JAERI, was improved for the high-energy heavy ion transport calculation by incorporating the JQMD code, the SPAR code and the Shen formula. The new NMTC/JAM named PHITS (Particle and Heavy-Ion Transport code System) is the first general-purpose heavy ion transport Monte Carlo code over the incident energies from sever...
