The Albany State men's tennis team did more than that; they made a full recovery. After losing 6-3 to Amherst this past Tuesday, which included three third-set tiebreaker defeats, the Danes snapped back with...

Fast Fourier transforms parallelize well but need large amounts of communication. An algorithm which concentrates all the communication in one or two transposition steps is the transpose split algorithm. Di erent transposition algorithms can be used depending on data size and communication latency. A new transpose split algorithm for real and hermitian data is presented for one, two and three d...

The present study was performed to compare the metabolite profiles of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the liver and serum of rats, hamsters, and guinea pigs after exposure to a PCB mixture, Kanechlor 500 (100 mg/kg, i.p.). The percentage of contribution of major PCB residues in the liver 5 days after exposure indicated that nonplanar PCBs with 2,4- or 2,3,4-chlorine substitution were more a...

No problem is ever permanently closed. The editor is always pleased to consider for publication new solutions or new insights o n p a s t p r oblems. (1) Determine the set of all c > 0 such that whenever (1) holds, then we have x + y + z xy + yz+ zx. The positive r eals c asked for are those satisfying c 4. From (1), we have xy < c and z = c ; xy x + y + xy. Substituting this value of z into th...
