Increasing interest is being shown in the use of Java for scientific applications. The Java Grande benchmark suite was designed with such applications primarily in mind. The perceived lack of performance of Java still deters many potential users, despite recent advances in just-in-time and adaptive compilers. There are, however, few benchmark results available comparing Java to more traditional languages such as c and Fortran. To address this issue, a subset of the Java Grande benchmarks has been re-written in c and Fortran allowing direct performance comparisons between the three languages. The performance of a range of Java execution environments, c and Fortran compilers have been tested across a number of platforms using the suite. These demonstrate that on some platforms (notable Intel Pentium) the performance gap is now quite small. copyright (c) 2003 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.

The unsafe features of c make it a big challenge to ensure memory safety of c programs, and often lead to memory errors that can result in vulnerabilities. Various formal verification techniques for ensuring memory safety of c have been proposed. However, most of them either have a high overhead, such as state explosion problem in model checking, or have false positives, such as abstract interpretation. In this article, by innovatively borrowing ownership system from Rust, we propose a novel and sound static memory safety analysis approach, named SafeOSL. Its basic idea is an ownership-based intermediate language, called ownership system language (OSL), which captures the features of the ownership system in Rust. Ownership system specifies the relations among variables and memory locations, and maintains invariants that can ensure memory safety. The semantics of OSL is formalized in K-framework, which is a rewriting-logic based tool. c programs to be checked are first transformed into OSL programs and then detected by OSL semantics. Experimental results have demonstrated that SafeOSL is effective in detecting memory errors of c. Moreover, the translations and experiments indicate that the intermediate language OSL could be reused by other programming languages to detect memory errors.

In this work, the effects of c, N, and Al on the microstructures and creep properties of Fe-cr-Al-Nb-W ferritic alloys were investigated through scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffractometry, as well as uniaxial creep testing and hardness testing. The results demonstrated that the matrix of the Fe-cr-Al-Nb-W heat-resistant steel was ferrite, while the precipitation phases were Laves phases, M23c6 carbides and MX nitride phases. M23c6 and MX precipitated at grain interior, Laves phases precipitated at grain interior, grain boundary and around MX phases. c, N and Al affected microstructure and creep of heat-resistant steel. As the Al content increased or as N content decreased along with the c increase, the average diameter of the Laves phases, along with M23c6 and MX phase grain interior decrease. Moreover, the unit density increased and the phase spacing decreased, which led to the minimum creep rate decrease and creep rupture time increase. compared to M23c6, Laves and MX phases mainly affected the alloy creep strength. The decrease of Laves phase continuity coefficient (ratio of Laves phase particle spacing and size) on the grain boundary was conducive to the plasticity improvement of heat-resistant steel.

We consider the stochastic queue core problem on a tree network. Our aim is to find an optimal path on a tree network subject to the average travel time of particles moving along the tree for service given by a server traversing along the optimal path. We assume that particles originating at a node on a tree network request their demands for service randomly and the server is modeled first by an M/M/1 and then by an M/G/1 queue using the FIFO discipline. We consider that all paths along which the particles travel are modeled with an M/G/c/c state-dependent queue with the particles being independent of each other having demands according to the Poisson distribution. Two algorithms are developed for computing the optimal path on a tree network along with the M/M/1 and the M/G/1 queues. The computational complexity of the algorithms and illustrative numerical results obtained by implementations of the algorithms in MATLAB software environment are given.

With the increase in application, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWcNTs) are potentially bioavailable to environmental organisms. However, the potential transgenerational effect of MWcNTs and underlying mechanisms remains still unclear. Here, we examined transgenerational MWcNT toxicity and the underlying mechanism mediated by germline long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in caenorhabditis elegans. Exposure to 0.1-10 mu g/L MWcNT caused transgenerational toxicity reflected by endpoints of brood size and locomotion behavior. Meanwhile, among germline lncRNAs, expression of 5 lncRNAs were dysregulated by MWcNT exposure. Among these 5 dysregulated lncRNAs, only germline RNAi of linc-7 affected MWcNT toxicity. Increase in germline linc-7 expression was observed transgenerationally, and transgenerational MWcNT toxicity was prevented in linc-7 (RNAi) nematodes. Moreover, germline linc-7 controlled transgenerational MWcNT toxicity by activating downstream DAF-12, a transcriptional factor. Therefore, our data indicated the association between induction of transgenerational MWcNT toxicity and increase in germline linc-7 expression in organisms.

The turnover of native and applied c and N in undisturbed soil samples of different texture but similar mineralogical composition, origin and cropping history was evaluated at -10 kPa water potential. cores of structurally intact soil with 108, 224 and 337 g clay kg(-1). were horizontially sliced and N-15-labelled sheep faeces was placed between the two halves of the intact core. The cores together with unamended treatments were incubated in the dark at 20degreesc and the evolution Of cO2-c determined continuously for 177 d. Inorganic and microbial biomass N and N-15 were determined periodically. Net nitrification was less in soil amended with faeces compared with unamended soil. When adjusted for the NO3-N present in soil before faeces was applied, net nitrification became negative indicating that NO3-N had been immobilized or denitrified. The soil most rich in clay nitrified least N and N-15. The amounts of N retained in the microbial biomass in unamended soils increased with clay content. A maximum of 13% of the faeces N-15 was recovered in the microbial biomass in the amended Soils. cO2-c evolution increased with clay content in amended and unamended soils. cO2-c evolution from the most sandy soil was reduced due to a low content of potentially mineralizable native soil c whereas the rate constant of c mineralization rate peaked in this soil. When the pool of potentially mineralizable native soil c was assumed proportional to volumetric water content, the three soils contained similar proportions of potentially mineralizable native soil c but the rate constant of c mineralization remained highest in the soil with least clay. Thus although a similar availability of water in the three soils was ensured by their identical matric potential, the actual volume of water seemed to determine the proportion of total c that was potentially mineralizable. The proportion of mineralizable c in the faeces was simiiar in the three soils (70% of total c), again with a higher rat

Fecl3/c was used as an efficient and convenient promoter for glycosylation through Ferrier-type rearrangement of 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-D-glucal, which is a relatively unreactive substrate for this type of reaction. The method was applicable to a wide range of alcohols, especially phenols. A series of 2,3-unsaturated-O-glucosides were prepared efficiently (47-92%) by this method under mild conditions.

Recently, fabricating one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials on c/ccomposite has been recognized effective to improve the thermal shock resistance of the coated composites. However, the remaining metal catalyst in cVD process and the week bond of 1D nanomaterials with substrate limit the strengthening effect. Herein, laser chemical vapor deposition (LcVD) was proposed for fabricating porous Sic nanostructured coating on c/ccomposite without metal catalyst. The laser heating resulted in a temperature gradient between the top and bottom of the coating, providing an external driving force for the vertical growth of whiskers with side-branches, forming a porous network nanostructure. The porous nanostructure was beneficial to reduce cTE and effectively relieve thermal stress. After 10 times of thermal shock test from RT to 1723 K, the porous Sic nanostructured coating remained intact. This work provides a novel methodology to produce functional coating on c/ccomposite with outstanding thermal shock resistance.

In this paper, the torsion and flexural-torsional coupled mechanical properties of different c/Sic torque tubes were investigated for the testing condition at room and elevated temperatures. Effects of fiber types, fiber preforms, and small hole during fabrication process on torsion mechanical properties were investigated. Flexural -torsional coupled mechanical tests for c/Sic torque tubes with different external diameter and wall thickness were conducted at room and elevated temperatures. The torsion and flexural moments and corresponding shear and flexural strength were obtained. The fracture surface and cracks propagation path were observed and analyzed. The torque and shear strength in T300TM-3k torque tube were much higher than those of T300TM-1k torque tube. Among 3D needled (3DN), 2D plain-woven [0 degrees /90 degrees] and [+/- 45 degrees] c/Sic torque tubes, the density, torque, and shear strength of 3DN-c/Sic torque tube were the highest. For the c/Sic torque tubes with small hole, the small hole not only increased the densification and uniformity (axial and radial) of the torque tube, but also has the potential to make the damage cracks more zigzag, which improved the fracture toughness of the torque tubes.
