IBM study

A research effort at IBM studied methods of partitioning the System/370 [Agnew82]. Instructions set partitioning was chosen as the best general method of partitioning primarily because of the reduced number of control breaks necessary with that partitioning scheme, and because it allows the partitions to be implemented on off-the-shelf microprocessors (Motorola s 68000). Seven instruction set partitioning schemes are described in the article that summarizes this research. APARTY s ability to address the various schemes is described below. 

In the IBM study described under "Coffee causes heart attacks ," the blood pressure was also taken on all participants. The IBM researchers concluded that, "it is clear that there was no specific relationship between daily coffee consumption and blood pressure in those studied". It is noteworthy, too, that the IBM study included 72,100 chronic coffee drinkers. 

Our s-IBM studies from about two decades ago were the first to identify an mfracellular accumulation of aP in any disease [22, 23, 29, 94]. They were the basis for our proposal of an important cytotoxic role of mtracellular AP, not only for s-IBM muscle fibers but also for Alzheimer neurons [95]. 

The new formalism is especially useful for parallel and distributed computers, since the communication intensity is exceptionally low and excellent load balancing is easy to achieve. In fact, we have used cluster of workstations (Silicon Graphics) and parallel computers - Terra 2000 and IBM SP/2 - to study dynamics of proteins.

As a crucial factor that dominates the behavior of lubricant flow, the mobility of PFPE molecules has been studied extensively in both experiments and simulations, through observing the spreading of the lubricant on solid substrates. Investigators, including Novotny [46], O Connor et al. [47], Min et al. [48], and Ma et al. [49], in collaboration with IBM scientists, carried out systemic experimental studies on spreading... 

Arnold M. Guloy was born in Manila, in the Philippines. After graduation from Manila Science High School, he studied chemistry and received his BS degree at the University of the Philippines, Quezon City. He received his Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry from Iowa State University under the supervision of Professor John D. Corbett in 1992. After an IBM Postdoctoral fellowship at the IBM Research Center at York-town Heights, he joined the faculty at the University of Houston in 1994, where he is currently an Associate Professor. He has over 70 publications with emphasis on exploratory research in solid state...

The IBM group (Marwick et al., 1987, 1988) studied both the boron and deuterium sites in B-2H complexes using the 2H(3He, pa) and 11B(1H, a) nuclear reactions respectively. The optimum results were obtained with a 30 keV B implant of 1015 cm-2. Figure 8 shows SIMS profiles of the 2H and nB in a typical sample used in their work. A near-surface layer with excess hydrogen remains even after etching off 1000 A of the surface (the figure shows SIMS data from the etched sample). Deeper in, the B and H concentrations are the same within the error in the SIMS calibration, consistent with B—H pair formation. The horizontal lines on the plot show... 

In the IBM, the presence of the solid boundary (fixed or moving) in the fluid can be represented by a virtual body force field -rp( ) applied on the computational grid at the vicinity of solid-flow interface. Considering the stability and efficiency in a 3-D simulation, the direct forcing scheme is adopted in this model. Details of this scheme are introduced in Section II.B. In this study, a new velocity interpolation method is developed based on the particle level-set function (p), which is shown in Fig. 20. At each time step of the simulation, the fluid-particle boundary condition (no-slip or free-slip) is imposed on the computational cells located in a small band across the particle surface. The thickness of this band can be chosen to be equal to 3A, where A is the mesh size (assuming a uniform mesh is used). If a grid point (like p and q in Fig. 20), where the velocity components of the control volume are defined, falls into this band, that is... 

In system 1, the 3-D dynamic bubbling phenomena in a gas liquid bubble column and a gas liquid solid fluidized bed are simulated using the level-set method coupled with an SGS model for liquid turbulence. The computational scheme in this study captures the complex topological changes related to the bubble deformation, coalescence, and breakup in bubbling flows. In system 2, the hydrodynamics and heat-transfer phenomena of liquid droplets impacting upon a hot flat surface and particle are analyzed based on 3-D level-set method and IBM with consideration of the film-boiling behavior. The heat transfers in...
