We report on some of the interactions between two SciDAC projects: The National Computational Infrastructure for Lattice Gauge Theory (USQCD), and the Performance Engineering Research Institute (PERI). Many modern scientific programs consistently report the need for faster computational resources to maintain global competitiveness. However, as the size and complexity of emerging high end comput...

the water remains at the centre of livelihood from the beginning of human civilization. civilization enriched mostly on the fertile plains and river valleys. with times, people began migrating to highland slopes where there was easy access to water to use. two villages in mustang region of nepal were considered for research to drill the causes of conflicts on water sources right and water share...

As indicated by Becker and Watts (2001), teaching in economics and finance is still mostly done in a Chalk and Talk passive learning environment. This paper reports on an active, hands-on approach implemented for business students enrolled in an undergraduate course in options and futures at HEC Montréal. The proposed environment adapts and extends the studio approach first developed for Introd...

The complexity of modern scientific software is an important issue that needs to be addressed as part of an effort to revitalize high end computing (HEC). The complexity arises from both the scientific demands and the increasingly complex computers on which the software is run. We believe that HEC software developers need to be able to use a higher level of abstraction to express their computat...

Capillary electrophoresis of lambda double-stranded (ds) DNA (48.5 kbp) in dilute hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) solutions shows band spreading that cannot be explained by diffusion alone. Dispersion and asymmetry factors of lambda ds-DNA bands were measured as functions of capillary length, HEC concentration and field strength. Band spreading and asymmetry can be explained by a recently developed...

Abstract The experiences from recent urban flooding events suggest that the conventional centralized detention systems based on size expansion with minimum costs need to accommodate extreme exceeding their design capacity. This study investigated resilience effects of decentralized address in areas. An integrated flood measure integrates regional performance sub-basins a control system was prop...
