Modular Invariance and Uniqueness of Conformal Characters
We show that the conformal characters of various rational models of
W-algebras can be already uniquely determined if one merely knows the central
charge and the conformal dimensions. As a side result we develop several tools
for studying representations of SL(2,Z) on spaces of modular functions. These
methods, applied here only to certain rational conformal field theories, may be
useful for the analysis of many others.Comment: 21 pages (AMS TeX), BONN-TH-94-16, MPI-94-6
The diurnal time course of net photosynthesis of soybean leaves: Analysis with a physiologically based steady-state photosynthesis model
A physiologically based steady-state model of whole leaf photosynthesis (WHOLEPHOT) is used to analyze observed net photosynthesis daily time courses of soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., leaves. Observations during two time periods of the 1978 growing season are analyzed and compared. After adjustment of the model for soybean, net photosynthesis rates are calculated with the model in response to measured incident light intensity, leaf temperature, air carbon dioxide concentration, and leaf diffusion resistance. The steady-state calculations closely approximate observed net photosynthesis. Results of the comparison reveal a decrease in photosynthetic capacity in leaves sampled during the second time period, which is associated with decreasing ability of leaves to respond to light intensity and internal air space carbon dioxide concentration, increasing mesophyll resistance, and increasing stomatal resistance.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/47732/1/442_2004_Article_BF00346258.pd

Distributed-Data Imaging System
A group of eight Digital Equipment Corporation Alpha workstations is interconnected with ATM to form a cluster with supercomputer power. For output, each workstation drives a single tile on an 8-tile high- resolution frame buffer. A special purpose adapter is used to convert the workstation`s ATM format to the frame buffer`s HIPPI format. This paper discusses the rationale behind the workstation farm, and then describes the visualization output path in detail. To provide the system quickly, special emphasis was placed on making the design as simple as possible and using standard software protocols to drive and synchronize the display. The design choices are examined, and the resultant system is described.. Previously, a display could connect to a single computer; or a group of computers could drive a fragmented display, e.g., a video wall. Our system is unique in that it provides a high-quality desktop visualization display driven collectively by a group of workstations. A short video will be shown during the presentation to demonstrate the system capabilities
