A scientific visualization workbench

Description: A system for visualization of data from supercomputer simulations has been developed for use by scientists and engineers at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The scientific visualization workbench, as the system is called, is based on an industry standard workstation (a Sun 3/160C), the NeWS window system, and a video/graphics add-in card, which is supported by NeWS. Also involved is a frame buffer attached to a 48-Mbit/s Cray channel and a video link from the frame buffer to the Sun workstation.… more

Using the NeWS window system in a Cray environment

Description: NeWS is structured as a single UNIX process, a network server that contains a PostScript interpreter. Client programs, which exist somewhere out on the network, talk to NeWS through byte streams. This paper describes the implementation of such a client interface on a Cray running the UNICOS operating system. With only a modest effort, it is possible to fit a simple PostScript interface to existing mainframe applications, which allows the user to graphically interact with the program from a remo… more

Biological effects of static and low-frequency electromagnetic fields: an overview of United States literature

Description: Results are reviewed from a number of studies on the biological effects of static and low frequency electromagnetic fields on animals. Based on a long history of experience with electric fields by the utility industry, it appears that intermittent and repeated exposures to strong 60-Hz electromagnetic fields from present power transmission systems have no obvious adverse effect on the health of man. It has been recognized recently that this belief must be tested by carefully designed and execut… more

Accelerator-based fusion with a low temperature target

Description: This article reports a study of a cold target with a high Fermi energy in light of recent research that points to a new phase of hydrogen, which is hypothesized to be related to metallic hydrogen. It has been shown that if the energy transfer between injected ions and target electrons is sufficiently small, net energy gain can be achieved. As such, the target is considered to be composed of nuclei and delocalized electrons.

Magnetic plasma expulsion

Description: The article presents one scheme for what is referred to as magnetic plasma expulsion, which would prevent the plasma from entering a given region. Magnetic plasma expulsion techniques may allow instrumentation access to the interiors of plasmas. Magnetic plasma expulsion techniques may also make alternative approaches for magnetic plasma confinement possible. Particle-in-cell simulation with the Warp code is used to study magnetic plasma expulsion. Some conditions for achieving magnetic plasma … more

Health aspects of power transmission. [Effects of 60 Hz electric field on biochemical, morphological, and physiological parameters in mice and rats]

Description: Exposure of rats and mice to 60-Hz electric fields at 100 kV/m for up to 120 days had no statistically significant, reproducible effects on a number of measures of metabolic status and growth, bone growth and structure, reproduction, hematology and serum chemistry, endocrinology, cardiovascular function, nerve function, or organ and tissue morphology. An effect on cell-mediated immunity was detected and is being evaluated further in additional experiments. Exposure of rats in utero (day 0 of ge… more

A network-based distributed, media-rich computing and information environment

Description: Sunrise is a Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) project started in October 1993. It is intended to be a prototype National Information Infrastructure development project. A main focus of Sunrise is to tie together enabling technologies (networking, object-oriented distributed computing, graphical interfaces, security, multi-media technologies, and data-mining technologies) with several specific applications. A diverse set of application areas was chosen to ensure that the solutions developed… more

Riparian vegetation of the Snake River in Washington State

Description: In January 1992, the US Army Corps of Engineers selected reservoir drawdown and lowered pool elevation as the preferred alternative in the Columbia River Salmon Flow Measured Options Analysis/Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). During March 1992, reservoirs upstream from Lower Granite and Little Goose Dams on the Snake River were drawn down below the minimum operating pool (MOP), which is 5 vertical feet below ordinary high water level (0@) level. The reservoir upstream from Lower Granite Dam… more

What CORBA can do: An example of a new system developed with object technology: TeleMed

Description: The TeleMed application grew out of a relationship with physicians at the National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine (NJC) in Denver. These physicians are experts in pulmonary diseases and radiology, helping patients combat effects of TB and other lung diseases. To make the knowledge and experience at NJC available to a wider audience, LANL has developed a virtual patient record system called TeleMed which is based on distributed national radiographic and patient record repo… more

TeleMed: An example of a new system developed with object technology

Description: Los Alamos National Laboratory has developed a virtual patient record system called TeleMed which is based on a distributed national radiographic and patient record repository located throughout the country. Without leaving their offices, participating doctors can view clinical drug and radiographic data via a sophisticated multimedia interface. For example, a doctor can match a patient`s radiographic information with the data in the repository, review treatment history and success, and then de… more

The design and performance of 150-MW S-band klystrons

Description: As part of an international collaboration, the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) klystron group has designed, fabricated and tested a 60 Hz, 3 {mu}s, 150 MW klystron built for Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY). A test diode with a 535 kV, 700 A electron beam was constructed to verify the gun operation. The first klystron was built and successfully met design specifications. This paper discusses design issues and experimental results of the diode and klystron including the suppress… more

Performance enhancement program: Managers guide to marginal performance interventions

Description: The marginal performer -- an employee who is not meeting performance standards established in the performance appraisal process -- is a fact of life that most supervisors eventually have to face. Screening of job applicants can reduce the number of employees with skill or performance difficulties, but problems can arise even with the most carefully chosen employee. They can also develop in people who were once productive.
