We show that the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) method is able to describe experimental values of alpha decay widths by including a residual nucleon-nucleon Surface Gaussian Interaction (SGI) within standard procedure used calculate nuclear mean field. call this Cluster HFB (CHFB) approach. In way we correct deficient asymptotic behaviour corresponding single-particle (sp) wave functions generat...

Correlation of the octane number (ON) of heptane and octane isomers with various topological indices, Z, w, p, and B, was studied. For single parameter correlation the index B by Balaban and w by Wiener show good results, whereas for two-parameter correlation almost any combination among the above four indices was found to give relatively high r value. Further, by adding the third parameter the...

We started to implement SMP support for the OpenBSD/sgi port and selected the SGI Octane as the first target machine. We are now at the point where we have almost finished, except for the implementation of some non-critical features. SMP support is now operational on SGI Octane systems and the code has been merged into the OpenBSD tree.

The proviral integration site for moloney murine leukemia virus (Pim) kinases, consisting of Pim-1, Pim-2 and Pim-3, belongs to a family of serine/threonine kinases that are involved in controlling cell growth and differentiation. Pim kinases are emerging as important mediators of adipocyte differentiation. SGI-1776, an inhibitor of Pim kinases, is widely used to assess the physiological roles ...

Our previous studies have shown that when slices of the rat superior colliculus (SC) are exposed to a solution containing 10 microM bicuculline and a low concentration of Mg2+ (0.1 mM), most neurons in the intermediate gray layer (stratum griseum intermediale; SGI), wide-field vertical (WFV) cells in the optic layer (stratum opticum; SO), and a minor population of neurons in the superficial gra...

Purpose: To investigate SGI-110 as a "chemosensitizer" in ovarian cancer and to assess its effects on tumor suppressor genes (TSG) and chemoresponsiveness-associated genes silenced byDNAmethylation in ovarian cancer. Experimental Design: Several ovarian cancer cell lines were used for in vitro and in vivo platinum resensitization studies. Changes in DNAmethylation and expression levels of TSG a...

This paper presents a parallel version of CLUSTAL W, called pCLUSTAL. In contrast to the commercial SGI parallel Clustal, which requires an expensive shared memory SGI multiprocessor, pCLUSTAL can be run on a range of distributed and shared memory parallel machines, from high-end parallel multiprocessors (e.g. Sunfire 6800, IBM SP2, etc.) to PC clusters, to simple networks of workstations. We h...

This report describes the research projects and accomplishments made possible through the availability of the sixteen processor SGI Origin 2000, purchased in parts with the funds from NSF SCREMS grant NSF 98-72009. To date the SGI Origin 2000 has served as the main computing facility in many interdisciplinary projects involving 48 faculty, research scientists, postdocs, graduate and undergradua...
