The long-term technical goal is to design, to develop and to test the next generation primitive equation, Terrain-following Ocean Modeling System (TOMS) for high-resolution scientific and operational applications. This project will improve the ocean modeling capabilities of the U.S. Navy for relocatable, coastal, coupled atmosphere-ocean forecasting applications. It will also benefit the ocean ...

Artificial insemination is practiced extensively with commercial turkeys. This is primarily the result of selective breeding for a heavier and broader-breasted commercial turkey and the consequent inability of toms to consistently transfer semen to the hen at copulation. The broiler industry has not adapted AI to the extent of the turkey industry but it is occasionally used in pedigree lines an...

The long-term goals of this effort are to: 1) develop and evaluate an expert Terrain-following Ocean Modeling System (TOMS) that will provide a state of the art model and supporting tools for simulations of a wide range of problems and scales; 2) support the Navy’s efforts in improving operational coastal ocean forecasting systems; and 3) provide continuous support for the terrainfollowing ocea...

The TOMS paper ”A Fully Portable High Performance Minimal Storage Hybrid Format Cholesky Algorithm” by Andersen, Gunnels, Gustavson, Reid, and Waśniewski, used a level 3 Cholesky kernel subroutine instead of level 2 LAPACK routine POTF2. We discuss the merits of this approach and show that its performance over POTRF is considerably improved on a variety of common platforms when POTRF is solely ...

An estimate of tropospheric ozone concentrations was obtained from the difference in the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) data between the high Andes and the Pacific Ocean. From 1979 to 1992 the tropospheric ozone concentration apparently increased by 1.48 ± 0.40 percent per year or 0.21 ± 0.06 Dobson unit per year over South America and the surrounding oceans. An increase ...

The simplicial complex K(A) is defined to be the collection of simplices, and their proper subsimplices, representing maximal lattice free bodies of the form (x: Ax<~ b), with A a fixed generic (n + 1 ) × n matrix. The topological space associated with K(A) is shown to be homeomorphic to R n, and the space obtained by identifying lattice translates of these simplices is homeorphic to the n-toms.

Let A be a unital separable C∗-algebra, and D a strongly selfabsorbing C∗-algebra (in the sense of Toms and Winter). We show that if A is D-absorbing, then the crossed product of A by a finite group is D-absorbing as well, assuming the action satisfying a Rokhlin property. With some extra restrictions on A and D, we obtain a similar result for crossed products by Z.
