Automated Parallelization Of Discrete State-Space Generation, David M. Nicol, Gianfranco Ciardo Jan 1997

Automated Parallelization Of Discrete State-Space Generation, David M. Nicol, Gianfranco Ciardo

Computer Science Technical Reports

We consider the problem of generating a large state-space in a distributed fashion. Unlike previously proposed solutions that partition the set of reachable states according to a hashing function provided by the user, we explore heuristic methods that completely automate the process. The first step is an initial random walk through the state space to initialize a search tree, duplicated in each processor. Then, the reachability graph is built in a distributed way, using the search tree to assign each newly found state to classes assigned to the available processors. Furthermore, we explore two remapping criteria that attempt to balance …

Silica-Cemented Terrace Edges, Central California Coast, Lynn E. Moody, R. C. Graham Jan 1997

Silica-Cemented Terrace Edges, Central California Coast, Lynn E. Moody, R. C. Graham

Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences

The morphologic development of soils on marine terraces is a function of terrace age and geomorphic evolution. In this study, interrelationships between terrace landscape evolution and pedogenic silica cementation were investigated. Soil morphology, micromorphology, selective dissolution, penetration resistance, and hydraulic conductivity were used to determine the nature and extent of the cementation and evaluate the effect of cementation on soil properties. Soils on the interior part of the terrace (coarse-loamy, mixed, thermic Typic Epiaquolls) contain plinthite, continuous throughout the entire terrace, cemented to the extent that it is only slowly permeable. A seasonally perched water table develops above the plinthite, …

Nucleotide Or Nucleoside Photoaffinity Compound Modified Antibodies, Methods For Their Manufacture And Use Thereof As Diagnostics And Therapeutics, Boyd E. Haley, Heinz Köhler, Krishnan Rajagopalan, Gabriela Pavlinkova

Chemistry Faculty Patents

Sites on antibodies having affinity for photoaffinity compounds, in particular purine or azidopurine containing compounds are taught. These sites provide for the site-specific attachment of nucleotide photoaffinity compounds to antibodies, e.g., ATP- or GTP-analog photoaffinity compounds by photochemical reaction. These nucleotide photoaffinity compounds may additionally be attached to molecules having a desired therapeutic or diagnostic activity, and the resultant conjugates used as diagnostics or therapeutics.


Application Of A Picosecond Soft X-Ray Source To Time-Resolved Plasma Dynamics, J. Workman, M. Nantel, Anatoly Maksimchuk, Donald P. Umstadter Jan 1997

Application Of A Picosecond Soft X-Ray Source To Time-Resolved Plasma Dynamics, J. Workman, M. Nantel, Anatoly Maksimchuk, Donald P. Umstadter

Donald Umstadter Publications

We demonstrate the application of an ultrashort x-ray source as an external probe to measure plasma dynamics. The plasma is generated by a 100-fs Ti: sapphire laser focused onto thin metallic films. Time-resolved spectroscopy of the gold x-ray probe transmission through a perturbed 1000 Å aluminum film reveals redshifts of the L-shell photoabsorption edge. We show that the dynamic behavior of this shift is consistent with the relaxation of the aluminum following the compression generated by a shock wave traveling through the film. An analytic plasma model, with comparison to a numerical hydrodynamics model, indicates compression up to 1.4 …


Blue Light Second Harmonic Generation In The Organic Crystal Ortho-Dicyanovinyl-Anisole, Carl H. Grossman, Samuel Aryeh Schulhofer-Wohl , '98, Erik Robert Thoen , '95 Jan 1997

Blue Light Second Harmonic Generation In The Organic Crystal Ortho-Dicyanovinyl-Anisole, Carl H. Grossman, Samuel Aryeh Schulhofer-Wohl , '98, Erik Robert Thoen , '95

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Works

Type I phase matched second harmonic generation (SHG) in the organic crystal ortho-Dicyanovinyl-anisole (DIVA) has been measured for a range of near infrared fundamental wavelengths (855-960 nm). Turning curves for type I phase matched SHG were derived from measured refractive index values and show noncritical phase matching at 860. Measured type I phase matched SHG is in close agreement with the calculated results and gives effective SHG coefficients ranging from 1.9 to 5.9 times as large as d(32) Of potassium niobate.

Enhancing The Performance Of Membrane Introduction Mass Spectrometry By Organic Carrier And Liquid Chromatographic Separation, Shi Ouyang, Yong Hong Chen, Yan Xu Jan 1997

Enhancing The Performance Of Membrane Introduction Mass Spectrometry By Organic Carrier And Liquid Chromatographic Separation, Shi Ouyang, Yong Hong Chen, Yan Xu

Chemistry Faculty Publications

A method of membrane introduction mass spectrometry with liquid chromatographic separation (LC/MIMS) for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water has been developed. The method not only inherited all the advantages of membrane introduction mass spectrometry by flow-injection analysis (FIA/MIMS), but also expanded the application of MIMS to the determination of compounds with identical quantitation ions. Because the quantitation by LC/MIMS is based on two-dimensional identification (retention time (tr) and mass-to-charge ratio ()), it provides a tangible approach to the analysis of VOCs in complex aqueous samples. In this work, a C18 column and a mobile phase (methanol/water) …


On Protostellar Disks In Herbig Ae/Be Stars, Anatoly Miroshnichenko, Željko Ivezić, Moshe Elitzur Jan 1997

On Protostellar Disks In Herbig Ae/Be Stars, Anatoly Miroshnichenko, Željko Ivezić, Moshe Elitzur

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

The spectral shape of IR emission from Herbig Ae/Be stars has been invoked as evidence for accretion disks around high-mass protostars. Instead, we present here models based on spherical envelopes with an r-1.5 dust density profile that successfully explain the observed spectral shapes. The spectral energy distributions of eight primary candidates for protostellar disks are fitted in detail for all wavelengths available, from visual to far-IR. The only envelope property adjusted in individual sources is the overall visual optical depth, and it ranges from 0.3 to 3. In each case, our models properly reproduce the data for IR excess, …

Advancement Of An Optical Remote Sensing Model To Simulate The Underwater Light Field, Charles R. Bostater, Wei-Ming Ma, Ted Mcnally Jan 1997

Advancement Of An Optical Remote Sensing Model To Simulate The Underwater Light Field, Charles R. Bostater, Wei-Ming Ma, Ted Mcnally

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

An analytical solution to the two-flow equations developed by Bostater, et al. is modified, and a sensitivity analysis is performed on the remote sensing model which contains both diffuse and specular light components. The resulting model simulates the solution to two different cases of the two- flow equations. The Case I model uses the two-flow irradiance equations where sub-surface collimated or specular irradiance is evaluated implicitly. All of the irradiance is assumed to become completely diffuse when it enters the water column. The Case II model uses equations that explicitly include collimated irradiance in the water column. Both models are …


Application Of A Flow-Through Absorption Tube For Remotely Estimating Water-Quality Parameters, Charles Bostater, Melissa Keller, Manuel Gimond Jan 1997

Application Of A Flow-Through Absorption Tube For Remotely Estimating Water-Quality Parameters, Charles Bostater, Melissa Keller, Manuel Gimond

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

A flow through absorption tube is described and applied. The tube is similar in concept to a 50 cm pathlength cylindrical cuvette described previously by Bostater and Gimond.' The new absorption tube allows for continuous, underway measurements of water absorption signatures. Water is allowed to flow through the tube, and in this way the spectral change or track ofabsorption can be measured as a function oftime or space when operated from a stationary or moving platform. Data gathered from various environments ranging from very turbid to clear water is analyzed and described. Concentrations of chlorophyll-a, suspended matter, and dissolved organic …

Testing Writing On Computers: An Experiment Comparing Student Performance On Tests Conducted Via Computer And Via Paper-And-Pencil, Michael Russell, Walt Haney Jan 1997

Testing Writing On Computers: An Experiment Comparing Student Performance On Tests Conducted Via Computer And Via Paper-And-Pencil, Michael Russell, Walt Haney

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Computer use has grown rapidly during the past decade. Within the educational community, interest in authentic assessment has also increased. To enhance the authenticity of tests of writing, as well as of other knowledge and skills, some assessments require students to respond in written form via paper-and-pencil. However, as increasing numbers of students grow accustomed to writing on computers, these assessments may yield underestimates of students' writing abilities. This article presents the findings of a small study examining the effect that mode of administration - computer versus paper-and-pencil - has on middle school students' performance on multiple-choice and written test …

Roughening And Preroughening Of Diamond-Cubic {111} Surfaces, Donald L. Woodraska, John A. Jaszczak Jan 1997

Roughening And Preroughening Of Diamond-Cubic {111} Surfaces, Donald L. Woodraska, John A. Jaszczak

Department of Physics Publications

A solid-on-solid model for {111} surfaces of diamond-cubic materials that correctly takes into account the diamond-cubic crystal structure has been developed for Monte Carlo simulation. In addition to a roughening transition at temperature TR, a distinct preroughening transition at TPR≈0.43TR is indicated by divergences in the surface specific heat and order-parameter susceptibility. Preroughening appears to arise naturally in our nearest-neighbor bond model from the entropic freedom available in the nontrivial crystal structure. Preroughening is shown to dramatically lower the nucleation barrier for growth and etching at low driving forces.
