We propose to produce a commercial powerful lightweight debugging tool, called Swat, which will be of use to both supercomputer application programmers and to programmers of cluster- and cloud-based parallel e-commerce and engineering systems and middleware. The tool will be based the STAT stack-trace debugging tool produced jointly by the University of Wisconsin and Lawrence Livermore National La ...

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) require robust seals that can prevent intermixing of air and fuel, remain inert in reducing and oxidizing environments while in contact with SOFC materials, and maintain their effectiveness through repeated thermal cycles. Recent research has focused on compliant (or viscous) glasses that remain vitreous over time in the SOFC stack operating environment, and are able ...

At present, CdZnTe is considered the material of choice for efficient, room temperature gamma-radiation detection systems used for the detection and identification of radionuclides. Despite the advances in CdZnTe materials technology during the last decade, the major impediments in the progress of - ray detection technology are the low yield of device quality materials and detectors, and the limit ...
