Sunday morning in Salt Lake City, whenfaithful Mormons flock to worshipat neighborhood wards, my father'ssecret psychiatric patients slip insidethe back door of 508 East South Temple,for fifty-five-minute appointments.A nurse impersonator, I greet them,steer them into the doctor's office,return Atlas Shrugged. We mightargue car, but on arrival fatherand team up. He exchanges his suitjacket for ...

Biomedical computing applications often follow a computational pipeline: experimental data or image acquisition, mathematical modeling, geometric modeling (segmentation, mesh generation), material modeling, numerical approximation (finite element analysis, linear solvers, nonlinear optimization), visualization (of the geometric model, material model, and solutions), and validation. An important...

Abrupt arid events in the post-glacial (w17.4–10 kyr BP) Dead Sea Basin (DSB) were recorded by significant lake level declines in Lake Lisan and massive deposition of gypsum and salt. Between 17.4 and 16 kyr cal BP, the lake level dropped from its late MIS2 stand of w260 m below mean sea level (m bmsl) to w330 m bmsl, depositing a thick sequence of gypsum. Between w16 and 15 kyr cal BP the lake...

A common problem in simulation and experimental research involves obtaining time-consuming, expensive, or potentially hazardous samples from an arbitrary dimension parameter space. For example, many simulations modeled on supercomputers can take days or weeks to complete, so it is imperative to select samples in the most informative and interesting areas of the parameter space. In such environm...

Prevalence of faecal indicator bacteria, Escherichia coli and pathogenic bacteria, Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella were analysed in Vembanadu lake (9 degrees 35'N 76 degrees 25'E), along south west coast of India for a period of one year from ten stations on the southern and northern sides of a salt water regulator constructed in Vembanadu Lake in order to prevent incurs...
