Recent Pythia 8 developments: Hard diffraction, Colour reconnection and collisions
An overview of recent developments in \pythia~8 is given. First the new hard
diffraction model, which is implemented as a part of the multiparton
interactions (MPI) framework, is discussed. Then the new colour reconnection
model, which includes beyond leading colour effects that can become important
when MPI are present, is briefly reviewed. As a last topic an introduction is
given to our implementation of photon-photon collisions. In particular photon
PDFs, required modifications for the initial state radiation algorithm and beam
remnant handling with photon beams is discussed.Comment: Contribution to proceedings of 7th International Workshop on Multiple

Models for energy and charge transport and storage in biomolecules
Two models for energy and charge transport and storage in biomolecules are
considered. A model based on the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation with
long-range dispersive interactions (LRI's) between base pairs of DNA is offered
for the description of nonlinear dynamics of the DNA molecule. We show that
LRI's are responsible for the existence of an interval of bistability where two
stable stationary states, a narrow, pinned state and a broad, mobile state,
coexist at each value of the total energy. The possibility of controlled
switching between pinned and mobile states is demonstrated. The mechanism could
be important for controlling energy storage and transport in DNA molecules.
Another model is offered for the description of nonlinear excitations in
proteins and other anharmonic biomolecules. We show that in the highly
anharmonic systems a bound state of Davydov and Boussinesq solitons can exist.Comment: 12 pages (latex), 12 figures (ps
Using SNMP for creating distributed diagnostic tools
In this paper we describe how SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) can be extended to do control system diagnostics. Our solution consists of a SNMP agent for LynxOS and a configurable MIB (Management Information Base) browser. We have reused diagnostic modules from the existing diagnostic system and integrated our development into a commercial network management product
