SUMMARY This paper describes recent development eeorts on the integrated simulation environment TENT. TENT is a component-based software integration and workkow management system using the capabilities of CORBA and Java. It is used to integrate the applications required to form complex workkows, which are typical of multidisciplinary simulations in engineering, in which diierent simulation code...

We present and discuss philosophy and methodology of chaotic evolution that is theoretically supported by chaos theory. We introduce four chaotic systems, that is, logistic map, tent map, Gaussian map, and Hénon map, in a well-designed chaotic evolution algorithm framework to implement several chaotic evolution (CE) algorithms. By comparing our previous proposed CE algorithm with logistic map a...

the functions of shelters are basically the same everywhere: to avoid extreme weather and to provide shelter for a comfortable living and working environment; but the designs and processes for those in different climates are significantly different. to live in the tropical area, olgyay stated two major problems the habitants have to be prepared for: the avoidance of excessive solar radiation an...

This paper proposes a novel one-way Hash function which is based on the Coupled Integer Tent Mapping System and termed as THA (THA-160, THA-256). The THA-160 compresses a message of arbitrary length into a fingerprint of 160 bits, well the THA-256 compresses a message of arbitrary length into a fingerprint of 256 bits. The algorithm adopts a piecewise message expansion scheme. Compared with SHA...

This paper describes some Java releated aspects of TENT (TEstbed for Numerical Turbine simulation), a system designed for integrating various codes and tools of a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation system. TENT provides a distributed simulation environment for simulation tasks in energy and propulsion technology, and it allows to connect the diierent tools to an application scenario....

Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT; serotypes A-G) and tetanus neurotoxin elicit flaccid and spastic paralysis, respectively. These neurotoxins are zinc proteases that cleave SNARE proteins to inhibit synaptic vesicle fusion to the plasma membrane. Although BoNT/B and tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) cleave VAMP-2 at the same scissile bond, their mechanism(s) of VAMP-2 recognition is not clear. Mapping experi...

For improvement of spatial uniformity of negative ion beams, the external magnetic filter was replaced to a novel tent-shaped magnetic filter in the JAEA 10 ampere negative ion source. The tent filter geometry is based on new findings in surface production of negative ions in high electron temperature plasmas. In order to link the tent filter, the original line-cusp field configuration on the s...
