Computer program for fitting low-order polynomial splines by method of least squares
FITLOS is computer program which implements new curve fitting technique. Main program reads input data, calls appropriate subroutines for curve fitting, calculates statistical analysis, and writes output data. Method was devised as result of need to suppress noise in calibration of multiplier phototube capacitors
Computer program for analysis of flow across a gas turbine seal
Computer program analyzes the flow /leakage/ across a sealing dam for the case of steady, laminar, subsonic, isothermal, compressible flow. The analysis considers both parallel sealing-dam surfaces and surfaces with small tilt angles
Compressible flow computer program for gas film seals
Computer program, AREAX, calculates properties of compressible fluid flow with friction and area change. Program carries out quasi-one-dimensional flow analysis which is valid for laminar and turbulent flows under both subsonic and choked flow conditions. Program was written to be applied to gas film seals
Twin prime correlations from the pair correlation of Riemann zeros
We establish, via a formal/heuristic Fourier inversion calculation, that the
Hardy-Littlewood twin prime conjecture is equivalent to an asymptotic formula
for the two-point correlation function of Riemann zeros at a height on the
critical line. Previously it was known that the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture
implies the pair correlation formula, and we show that the reverse implication
also holds. A smooth form of the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture is obtained by
inverting the limit of the two-point correlation
function and the precise form of the conjecture is found by including
asymptotically lower order terms in the two-point correlation function formula.Comment: 11 page
Utilization of satellite cloud information to diagnose the energy state and transformations in extratropical cyclones
A study of the contribution of latent heat release to the synoptic scale vertical motions in the Jan. 9-11, 1975 extratropical cyclone case study was completed. Results indicate that early cyclone development was dominated by dry dynamical forcing. However, as the cyclone matured, the influence of latent heating became more significant. This influence appeared to be of two types, (1) the direct impact of heating causing a lowering of surface pressures, and (2) an indirect role in which the heating altered thermal and vorticity gradients and lead to subsequent increases in dry dynamical forcing. The kinetic energy budget was completed and extended to include an available potential energy budget. Focusing on the eddy component of the budgets, results indicate that kinetic energy increased throughout the cyclone's development, with the increase being most pronounced after the onset of significant latent heat release. Latent heating played a strong role not only in generating available potential energy, but also in forcing baroclinic release of potential energy

Evaluating distributed cognitive resources for wayfinding in a desktop virtual environment.
As 3D interfaces, and in particular virtual environments, become increasingly realistic there is a need to investigate the location and configuration of information resources, as distributed in the humancomputer system, to support any required activities. It is important for the designer of 3D interfaces to be aware of information resource availability and distribution when considering issues such as cognitive load on the user. This paper explores how a model of distributed resources can support the design of alternative aids to virtual environment wayfinding with varying levels of cognitive load. The wayfinding aids have been implemented and evaluated in a desktop virtual environment
