We present a multi-core, GPU-based framework for simulation and visualization of two-dimensional floods, based on the full implementation of Saint Venant equations. A validated CPU-based flood model was converted to NVIDIA’s CUDA architecture. The model was run on two different NVIDIA graphics cards, a GeForce 8400 GS and a Tesla T10. The model was tested using two case study applications. Impl...

Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire studied anatomy and congenital abnormalities in humans [2] and other animals in nineteenth century France. Under the tutelage of his father, Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, Isidore compiled and built on his father's studies of individuals with developmental malformations, then called monstrosities. In 1832, Isidore published Histoire générale et particulière des a...

Angela Verne. (Catholic Printing Company, Farnwort'1' Bolton, Lanes. 18s.) "According to legend, she (St. Dymphna) fled from Ireland to Gheel with the priest Gonerbernus to escape the unholy desire of her own father, a pagan kl0fc of Ireland. The latter, however, discovered their whereabouts and put them ^ death." These stark sentences, which embody all that is known of the patron sain of the f...

introduction the aim of this study was toinvestigate the sterilization potential of atmospheric pressure plasma jet (appj) and interactions of this technology with double-stranded dna using the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and single-strand conformation polymorphism (sscp) techniques. materials and methods the plasma jet was produced through a high voltage sinusoidal power supplyusing a mixt...

The need for clean water has risen exponentially over the globe. Millions of people are affected daily by a lack of clean water, especially women and children, as much of their day is dedicated to collecting water. The global water crisis not only has severe medical implications, but social, political, and economic consequences as well. The Institute of Catholic Bioethics at Saint Joseph's Univ...

A jet flowing in the Kelvin wave propagation direction along the seaward side of a continental slope is found to decrease in strength as it leaks mass onto the continental shelf. As a result, a shelf break jet flowing in the opposite direction is induced on the shelf. The combination of these two flows creates a decaying, high-pressure tongue centered about the shelf break. An idealized, reduce...

There are two kinds of judgments. When you are a judge, and when you are judged. Antoine de Saint-Exupery, “Fortress” Three studies showed that the group of observers accurately recognized biases in other people’s behaviors while the group of actors was unable to detect the same biases in their own behaviors. The logic and inevitability of biases influenced the estimations of the former. Biases...
