Straightforward Java Persistence Through Checkpointing, Jon Howell

Computer Science Technical Reports

Several techniques have been proposed for adding persistence to the Java language environment. This paper describes a scheme based on checkpointing the Java Virtual Machine, and compares the scheme to other techniques. Checkpointing offers two unique advantages: first, the implementation is independent of the JVM implementation, and therefore survives JVM updates; second, because checkpointing saves and restores execution state, even threads become persistent entities.

Influence Of Vertical Transport On Free Tropospheric Aerosols Over The Central Usa In Springtime, R. Talbot, Jack E. Dibb, M Loomis

Earth Sciences

Measurements of the atmospheric aerosol chemical composition during the Subsonic Aircraft: Contrail and Cloud Effects Special Study (SUCCESS) indicate substantial vertical transport of boundary layer aerosol to the free troposphere over the south-central United States during springtime. Mixing ratios of water-soluble aerosol Ca 2+ at 6 - 12 km altitude exhibited a median mixing ratio of 20 pptv, with 15% of the measurements > 100 pptv and a maximum of ! 235 pptv. In air parcels with enhanced Ca 2+, the ratios K+/Ca 2+, Mg2+/Ca 2+, and Na+/Ca 2+ in the bulk aerosol were distinctly characteristic of those in limestone and/or …

A Landscape Plan Based On Historical Fire Regimes For A Managed Forest Ecosystem: The Augusta Creek Study, David O. Wallin, John Cissel, Frederick J. (Frederick John) Swanson, Gordon E.

The Augusta Creek project was initiated to establish and integrate landscape and watershed objectives into a landscape plan to guide management activities within a 7600-hectare (19,000-acre) planning area in western Oregon. Primary objectives included the maintenance of native species, ecosystem processes and structures, and long-term ecosystem productivity in a federally managed landscape where substantial acreage was allocated to timber harvest. Landscape and watershed management objectives and prescriptions were based on an interpreted range of natural variability of landscape conditions and disturbance processes. A dendrochronological study characterized fire patterns and regimes over the last 500 years. Changes in landscape conditions throughout …

Known Source Detection Predictions For Higher Order Correlators, Lisa A. Pflug, George E. Ioup, Juliette W. Ioup

Physics Faculty Publications

The problem addressed in this paper is whether higher order correlation detectors can perform better in white noise than the cross correlation detector for the detection of a known transient source signal, if additional receiver information is included in the higher order correlations. While the cross correlation is the optimal linear detector for white noise, additional receiver information in the higher order correlations makes them nonlinear. In this paper, formulas that predict the performance of higher order correlation detectors of energy signals are derived for a known source signal. Given the first through fourth order signal moments and the noise …

Amphibians And Reptiles [Of The Sand Hills], Patricia W. Freeman

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

Of the 60 species of amphibians and reptiles presently known from Nebraska, 27 are found in the Sand Hills and one more is marginal to the east. Fourteen species of the 60 are essentially state wide in distribution, including the Sand Hills, and eight species of reptiles are strongly influenced by the Sand Hills (Lynch, 1985). Of 12 species that occur widely over the moister eastern part of the state, only four extend into the Sand Hills, and one occurs only under the wet conditions along the rivers of the eastern Sand Hills.

Measuring The Bunch-Length Of An Electron Beam By Utilizing The Laser Heterodyne Technique, Katrina L. Carter

Electronic Dissertations and Theses

The focus of this project was to develop an apparatus that would aid in measuring the bunch-length of an electron beam at the interaction point of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) by utilizing the laser heterodyne technique. This technique involves the superposition of two laser pulses of slightly different frequencies. As a result, a traveling fringe pattern is created, and a bunch-to-bunch variation of the Compton rate would be introduced. The magnitude of this variation depends on the best wavelength and on Fourier transform of the longitudinal bunch distribution. The laser heterodyne technique is implemented by the addition of a …

Air-Water Gas Exchange And The Carbon Cycle Of Green Bay, Lake Michigan, James Waples

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to constrain estimates of the kinetics of gas transfer across the air-water interface as well as quantify the net flux of carbon between southern Green Bay (1635 km²) and the atmosphere.

In 1994 and 1995, over 3500 measurements of surface water CH₄ and CO₂ were made using a continuous sample disk equilibrator. Estimates of CH₄ flux from southern Green Bay to the atmosphere based on air-water concentration gradients, shear corrected wind speeds and the U/K (wind speed/transfer coefficient) relationship of Broecker et al. (1978) agreed to within ~10% of …

Search For Color-Suppressed B Hadronic Decay Processes At The Υ(4S) Resonance, B. Nemati, Kenneth A. Bloom, Cleo Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

Using 3.1 fb^-1 of data accumulated at the Υ(4S) by the CLEO-II detector, corresponding to 3.3×10⁶ BB̅ pairs, we have searched for the color-suppressed B hadronic decay processes B⁰→D⁰ (D*⁰)X⁰, where X⁰ is a light neutral meson π⁰, ρ⁰, η, η′ or ω. The D*⁰ mesons are reconstructed in D*⁰→D⁰π⁰ and the D⁰ mesons in D⁰→K^-π⁺, K^-π⁺π⁰ and K …
