The gypsum mineralization occurred in the form of Satin Spar and Selenite in the south and southwest of the Fars province in the folded Zagros zone. In this region, Satin Spar mineralization has been formed as stratiform between the red marl and siltstone units of Late Miocene–Pliocene in Agha Jari, Bakhtiari, and the Gachsaran formations. The reserves of Satin Spar in this area are at least 20...

Satin is a system for running divide and conquer programs on distributed memory systems (and ultimately on wide-area metacomputing systems). Satin extends Java with three simple Cilk-like primitives for divide and conquer programming. The Satin compiler and runtime system cooperate to implement these primitives efficiently on a distributed system, using work stealing to distribute the jobs. Sat...

This study aimed to find the depositional environment and formation conditions of gypsum-dominated Miocene succession alternated intercalated with clastics carbonates in southwestern part Erzincan Basin. As a result sedimentological, mineralogical-petrographic investigations, it was determined that gypsum this sequence formed as primary secondary. Primary lithofacies; nodular anhydrite, selenit...

This paper introduces SPar, an internal C++ Domain-Specific Language (DSL) that supports the development of classic stream parallel applications. The DSL uses standard C++ attributes to introduce annotations tagging the notable components of stream parallel applications: stream sources and stream processing stages. A set of tools process SPar code (C++ annotated code using the SPar attributes) ...

Software support for making effective pen-based applications is currently rudimentary. To facilitate the creation of such applications, we have developed SATIN, a Java-based toolkit designed to support the creation of applications that leverage the informal nature of pens. This support includes a scenegraph for manipulating and rendering objects; support for zooming and rotating objects, switch...

Homeostatic plasticity keeps neuronal spiking output within an optimal range in the face of chronically altered levels of network activity. Little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms, particularly in response to elevated activity. We report that, in hippocampal neurons experiencing heightened activity, the activity-inducible protein kinase Polo-like kinase 2 (Plk2, also known as ...

This paper describes SPAR, a task planner that has been implemented on a PUMA 762. SPAR is capable of formulating manipulation plans to meet specified assembly goals; these manipulation plans include grasping and regrasping operations if they are deemed necessary for successful completion of assembly. SPAR goes beyond the classical AI planners, in the sense that SPAR is capable of solving geome...

In this paper we will give a small introduction to Spar, a programming language for semi-automatic parallel programming. Spar, a Java derivative is being developed as part of the Automap project, which aims to create completely automatic mappings for code and data at either compile time or runtime. We will present how Spar supports task-parallel programming and how it interacts with the user or...

The PSD-95/SAP90 family of scaffold proteins organizes the postsynaptic density (PSD) and regulates NMDA receptor signaling at excitatory synapses. We report that SPAR, a Rap-specific GTPase-activating protein (RapGAP), interacts with the guanylate kinase-like domain of PSD-95 and forms a complex with PSD-95 and NMDA receptors in brain. In heterologous cells, SPAR reorganizes the actin cytoskel...

We describe two mechanisms, rendering task scheduling and the render cache, used to optimize graphics rendering in a scenegraph to provide continuous visual feedback and high interactivity in large-scale sketch-based user interfaces. We have implemented these mechanisms in SATIN, a toolkit to support development of sketch-based user interfaces. Our experiments with DENIM, an early-stage web sit...
