Although the Cluster Ready program is aimed at systems built on Intel's Xeon processors, the Cluster Checker can also be used to verify an Advanced Micro Devices-based system. Intel's parallel libraries run on AMD hardware with the same performance and are fully supported by Intel. According to Werner Krotz-Vogel, Technical Marketing Engineer at Intel's Cluster Ready team, the Math Kernel Library (MKL) runs even faster than the open source library Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software (ATLAS) on an AMD Opteron system.

Another example of multiple layered plasmonics involves placing drugs inside of the nanoparticle and using it as a vehicle to deliver toxic drugs to cancerous sites only. This is accomplished by coating the outside of a nanoparticle with iron oxide (allowing for easy tracking with an MRI machine) then once the area of the tumor is coated with the drug filled nanoparticles, the nanoparticles can be activated using resonant light waves to release the drug.

Microbubbles work as contrast agents in ultrasound for two main reasons: The large difference in acoustic impedance between body tissues and the microbubbles and their quality of having a resonant frequency generally under 10 MHz. Due to the larger mismatch in acoustic impedances, the microbubbles are near-perfect reflectors of ultrasound waves in the body. This allows them to be point-sources of acoustic waves. Furthermore, at their resonant frequency, the microbubbles have a relatively large-magnitude broadband frequency response, which is picked up by the ultrasound transducer.

Gray returned to Aberdeen but never settled. He was offered, and accepted, the position of Surgeon-in-Chief to the Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) in Montreal, but when he went to Canada he became involved in bitter political infighting between Sir Arthur Currie, Principal and Vice-chancellor of McGill University and Sir Henry Vincent Meredith, President of the RVH, over the issue of whether Gray should be offered the Chair of Surgery at McGill University. Rather than furthering his surgical prospects, the move to Montreal destroyed him professionally. He lived out the rest of his life in surgical obscurity. He died in Montreal in 1938.

Knight-Jones defines the types of metachronism in ciliary beat of metazoa depending on the relative direction of wave to the effective beat. If the effective beat is in the same direction as metachronal wave, then it is called as symplectic metachronal wave. If opposite, the wave is called antiplectic. There are cases where the wave is directed to the right or to the left of the effective beat. In these cases the metachronal wave is called dexioplectic if effective beat is to the right of the wave, and laeoplectic if effective beat is to the left of the wave.

The experimental results allowed meaningful modeling of the seasonal heat budget processes occurring through the Arctic Ocean sea ice and atmosphere. The scope of the model was the column from below the ice pack through the top of the atmosphere. The scientists realized that key to the model was correctly characterizing the changing reflectivity or albedo of the ice surface, owing to changes in snow pack and ice melting. Cloud cover was key to describing how much energy reached or escaped the ocean surface.

Evan gave the informal name, Rinconada schist, to these beds and noted the presence of staurolite porphyroblasts. Montgomery formalized the designation of the mixed schist and quartzite beds as the Rinconada member of the Ortega Formation in 1953. The Rinconada Member was promoted to independent formation status by Bauer and Williams in their sweeping revision of the Precambrian stratigraphy of northern New Mexico in 1987.

Living in large colonies in confined spaces creates a risk of pathogen spreading. Insects in social networks show many anti-pathogen behaviours to prevent the spread of infection. An example of this behaviour is the pathogen alarm behaviour in termites. If a termite detects itself being infected with pathogen spores, it will produce a vibratory signal to warn the other colony members to stay away from it to prevent the spread of the fungi.

Nitrogen gas is the most abundant molecule in earth's atmosphere, comprising about 78 percent of the total composition of air, however not typically a large source of nitrogen to the river. This form of nitrogen, dinitrogen gas (<chem>N2</chem>), is inert and biologically unavailable to most living organisms. However, some bacteria and archaea can utilize nitrogen fixation to convert dinitrogen into ammonia or other compounds accessible to organisms.

The one team from the WCHA that they did not face during the season was Minnesota. This was due to the on-going feud between the two programs over recruiting practices. Both teams were able to benefit from this since the two teams were the strongest in the WCHA and finished in the top two of the conference. Denver won their second consecutive WCHA title with their 17–1 conference record and played Michigan Tech at home in the WCHA tournament. For the first game of the total-goal series Denver dominated the Huskies, winning 9–1 and followed that up with an equally impressive 8–2 victory the following night. Denver's 17–3 victory was the widest margin for any 2-game series in the history of the WCHA tournament as well as being tied for the most goals scored by one team in a two-game series.

Over and above his connection to the Royal Society of Edinburgh it was in connection with the Royal Physical Society that he made his main influence. This society, one of the oldest scientific bodies in Edinburgh, had ‘fallen into one of its periodic fits of depression,’ when, in 1877, Gray accepted its secretaryship. He entered on his duties with great energy, and, by his courtesy and singular charm of manner not less than by his power of organisation and his excellent business faculty, he was successful in introducing needed reforms, in attracting new members and inspiriting old ones, and, finally, in placing the society upon a satisfactory footing as an active scientific body, issuing printed ‘Proceedings.’ At the time of his death, which occurred suddenly in Edinburgh on 18 February 1887, Gray was engaged, in conjunction with William Evans, upon a volume dealing with the birds of the east coast of Scotland.

There are many examples in nature where soft tissue and hard surfaces are connected by a mechanical gradient to improve the fracture and impact resistance. Examples include mussels that connect to hard rocks by the mussel byssus which connects back to the soft muscle of the foot. A more extreme example is the squid beak which has an extremely hard tip required to kill and dismember its prey which connects back to the soft flesh of the body of the squid. Without the mechanically gradient in the beak, the squid would be unable to withstand the high impacts despite its hardness since it would break off from the body at the junction between the materials.

Chaperones have also been implicated in the understanding the relationship between genotype and phenotype. Protein folding in itself transitions from genotype to phenotype: primary structure/amino acid sequence reflects genotype while the final, functional fold, either tertiary or quaternary structure, represents phenotype. Since chaperones are mediators of this transition by assisting in the fold of the client protein, chaperone activity is thought to modulate the adaptive evolution of the proteome.

Wireless localization is one of the techniques that can be used to detect fake location advertisements. Xiao et al. proposes a defense mechanism against Sybil nodes, which utilizes wireless localization for detecting them. They use the stationary base stations, aka Road Side Units (RSUs) located at the side of the roads all around the map in VANETs, to perform the localization. These RSUs have a wide radio range that allows the defense mechanism to be able to monitor a lot of vehicles at the same time. They can listen to VANET messages and they are all connected to each other by wired connections through the infrastructure.

"Overall," concludes Clegg, "it's a noble attempt, with much (much) more meat in it than the companion Introducing Chaos book - but it would need more historical perspective and less inclination to jump to soon into formulae if it were to appeal to its target audience." Nonetheless, according to Henbest, "the format means it’s an easy book to dip into, making cutting-edge science available to everyone," and according to Chown, "anyone with an enquiring mind is bound to take away something as they dip in and out of this highly entertaining book."

For a formula_70-dof tree-decomposable graph formula_4 with base non-edge formula_72, each point of a framework of a linkage formula_5 in formula_16 under the formula_75-norm can be placed iteratively according to an orientation vector formula_76, also called a realization type. The entries of formula_76 are local orientations of triples of points for all construction steps of the framework. A formula_76-oriented Cayley configuration space of formula_5 over formula_72, denoted by formula_81 is the Cayley configuration space of formula_5 over formula_72 restricted to frameworks respecting formula_76. In other words, for any value of formula_72 in formula_81, corresponding of frameworks of formula_5 respect formula_76 and are a subset of the frameworks in formula_89.

The electrochemical reduction of [UO] in an anaerobic solution is used to obtain pentavalent uranyl complexes (Figure 2. Compound 1-3). The coordination numbers of complexes 1-4 are 7, 7, 8 and 6. The rate of disproportionation of U which results U and U is reported to be slow in an aqueous medium with pH 2-4 hence U is obtained via electrochemical reduction. In these compounds tetradentate Schiff-base phenoxide (salophen) and β-diketonate ligands are bound along the equatorial plane, which stabilizes the U species obtained by the single electron reduction of U species. Anhydrous uranyl triflate compounds (Figure 2, compound 4) contains discrete cation-anion pairs and it is synthesized by the crystallization of [UO(OPPh)][OTf]. U containing cation in this uranyl triflate compound shows an octahedral geometry.

In classical contrast-enhanced ultrasound, many methods exist for separating signal reflected by the microbubbles and signal reflected by surrounding body tissues. Most of these methods utilize the subharmonic and super harmonic response of the microbubbles, as well as the microbubbles nonlinear response to ultrasound waves, as opposed to body tissues linear response to ultrasound waves. Some of the more common filtering methods are listed below.

It was expected that the change in reaction would quintuple the probability of synthesizing unbinilium, as the yield of such reactions is strongly dependent on their asymmetry. Although this reaction is less asymmetric than the Cf+Ti reaction, it also creates more neutron-rich unbinilium isotopes that should receive increased stability from their proximity to the shell closure at "N" = 184. Three signals were observed in May 2011; a possible assignment to Ubn and its daughters was considered, but could not be confirmed, and a different analysis suggested that what was observed was simply a random sequence of events.

Mantis shrimp have 5 pairs of pleopods which they use to swim. Kinematics of their swimming reveals metachronal pattern. Study by Campos et al. shows that the power stroke of the mantis shrimp ("Odontodactylus Havanensis") is metachronal, creating back-to-front wave motion. While power stroke is completed metachronally, recovery stroke occurs nearly synchronous. The same rowing pattern was observed by another study. Stein et al. also report the metachronal rowing in mantis shrimp in their study

The track, preserved in a large sandstone slab, was found in the 2009 Racehorse Creek landslide. It was preserved by a volunteer team coordinated by Tucker and flown off the mountainside using a large helicopter to Western Washington University’s Geology Department.

Finally, nitrogen load at the Columbia River mouth is about 2-20 times larger than that at the Canadian border. This gradient in nitrogen distribution is partly a result of the inputs of the Columbia's major tributaries, the Snake River and the Willamette River. The Snake and Willamette rivers together contribute about 50-80 percent of the nitrogen load in a given year, coming from activities within those respective watersheds.
