The Distributed object migration environment (Dome) addresses three major issues of distributed parallel programming: ease of use, load balancing, and fault tolerance. Dome provides process control, data distribution, communication, and synchronization for Dome programs running in a heterogeneous distributed computing environment. The parallel programmer writes a C++ program using Dome objects ...

geophysical data are always affected by different sources of anomaly. these sources are classified in to three groups: first group is relatively deep sources commonly called as regional effects, second group is near surface sources or local effects and third group is high frequency noises. the only common way to separate the anomaly is separation with respect to the signal frequency. there are ...

We report on further SLAC measurements of the Askaryan effect: coherent radio emission from charge asymmetry in electromagnetic cascades. We used synthetic rock salt as the dielectric medium, with cascades produced by GeV bremsstrahlung photons at the Final Focus Test Beam. We extend our prior discovery measurements to a wider range of parameter space and explore the effect in a dielectric medi...

Rock salt represents a potential host rock formation for the final disposal of radioactive waste. The interactions between indigenous microorganisms and radionuclides, e.g. uranium, need to be investigated to better predict the influence of microorganisms on the safety assessment of the repository. Hence, the association process of uranium with two microorganisms isolated from rock salt was com...
