Automatic Transformations in the Inference Process

Description: A technique for incorporating automatic transformations into processes such as the application of inference rules, subsumption, and demodulation provides a mechanism for improving search strategies for theorem proving problems arising from the field of program verification. The incorporation of automatic transformations into the inference process can alter the search space for a given problem, and is particularly useful for problems having broad rather than deep proofs. The technique can also bā€¦ more

Scientific Workstation Evaluation Project: Multidisciplinary Experience with a Scientific Workstation

Description: This document is a formal report on the scientific workstation evaluation project. The objective of this project has been to evaluate a scientific workstation. When new computing systems appeared that exhibited the capabilities necessary to do scientific computing work at relatively low equipment cost, both the staff of the Argonne scientific divisions and we (the Computing Services staff) wished to know more about the equipment and the vendor claims.

Measurement of the Hydrogen Yield in the Radiolysis of Water by Dissolved Fission Products

Description: Hydrogen from the radiolysis of water by dissolved fission products is stripped from the solution and collected by bubbling carbon dioxide through the solution. Quantitative measurements of the G value for hydrogen show that the yield is essentially the same as would be obtained by external gamma radiolysis of nonradioactive solutions of the same chemical composition. The hydrogen yield can be enhanced by addition of a hydrogen-atom donor, such as formic acid, to the solution. The yield of hydrā€¦ more

Solution of the General Nonlinear Programming Problem with Subroutine VMCOM

Description: The solution of the general nonlinear programming problem by means of a subroutine called VMCON is described. VMCON uses an algorithm that solves a sequence of positive-definite quadratic programming sub-problems. Each solution determines a direction in which a one-dimensional minimization is performed. In developing this code, changes in the original implementation were made to make the program easier to use and maintain and to incorporate some recently developed LINPACK subprograms.
