Performance modeling can be used throughout the development, deployment, and maintenance of system hardware and application software. In this work we illustrate three uses of performance modeling on large-scale systems: the verification of performance during system installation, the comparison of two large-scale systems, and the prediction of performance on possible future architectures. We det...

In semiarid climates, a significant component of recharge to basin aquifers occurs along the mountain front. Traditionally called “mountain-front recharge” (MFR), this process has been treated by modelers of basins as a boundary condition. In general, mountain-front recharge estimates are based on the general precipitation characteristics of the mountain (as estimated, e.g., by the chloride mas...

It has long been argued that mountains have an effect on wars. While some research understands this chiefly in physical terms, other research looks at the effect that mountains have on human nature. This article will look at the two thousand year history of the term ‘mountain people.’ It will explore how the belief has emerged that living in mountainous regions changes people to the degree that...
