Chalcogenide Derivatives of Imidotin Cage Complexes
Authors: Eisler Dana J. , Chivers Tristram 
Published: October 2005

AbstractReaction of the secocubane [Sn3(μ2‐NHtBu)2(μ2‐NtBu)(μ3‐NtBu)] (1) with dibutylmagnesium produces the heterobimetallic cubane [Sn3Mg(μ3‐NtBu)4] (4) which forms the monochalcogenide complexes of general formula [ESn3Mg(μ3‐NtBu)4] (5 a, E=Se; 5 b, E=Te) upon reaction with elemental chalcogens in THF. By contrast, the reaction of the anionic lithiated cubane [Sn3Li(μ3‐NtBu)4]− with the appropriate quantity of selenium or tellurium leads to the sequential chalcogenation of each of the three SnII centres. Pure samples of the mono‐ or dichalcogenides are, however, best obtained by stoichiometric redistribution reactions of [Sn3Li(μ3‐NtBu)4]− and the trichalcogenides [E3Sn3Li(μ3‐NtBu)4]− (E=Se, Te). These reactions are conveniently monitored by using 119Sn NMR spectroscopy. The anion [Sn3Li(μ3‐NtBu)4]− also acts as an effective chalcogen‐transfer reagent in reactions of selenium with the neutral cubane [{Snμ3‐N(dipp)}4] (8) (dipp=2,6‐diisopropylphenyl) to give the dimer [(thf)Sn{μ‐N(dipp)}2Sn(μ‐Se)2Sn{μ‐N(dipp)}2Sn(thf)] (9), a transformation that results in cleavage of the Sn4N4 cubane into four‐membered Sn2N2 rings. The X‐ray structures of 4, 5 a, 5 b, [Sn3Li(thf)(μ3‐NtBu)4(μ3‐Se)(μ2‐Li)(thf)]2 (6 a), [TeSn3Li(μ3‐NtBu)4][Li(thf)4] (6 b), [Te2Sn3Li(μ3‐NtBu)4][Li([12]crown‐4)2] (7 b′′) and 9 are presented. The fluxional behaviour of cubic imidotin chalcogenides and the correlation between NMR coupling constants and tin–chalcogen bond lengths are also discussed.

Distributed loop‐scheduling schemes for heterogeneous computer systems
Authors: Chronopoulos Anthony T. , Penmatsa Satish , Xu Jianhua , Ali Siraj 
Published: October 2005

AbstractDistributed computing systems are a viable and less expensive alternative to parallel computers. However, a serious difficulty in concurrent programming of a distributed system is how to deal with scheduling and load balancing of such a system which may consist of heterogeneous computers. Some distributed scheduling schemes suitable for parallel loops with independent iterations on heterogeneous computer clusters have been designed in the past. In this work we study self‐scheduling schemes for parallel loops with independent iterations which have been applied to multiprocessor systems in the past. We extend one important scheme of this type to a distributed version suitable for heterogeneous distributed systems. We implement our new scheme on a network of computers and make performance comparisons with other existing schemes. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Crunching real data on the Grid: practice and experience with the European DataGrid
Authors: Groep D. , Templon J. , Loomis C. 
Published: October 2005

AbstractThe D0 experiment has used the European DataGrid (EDG) testbed to reprocess real data obtained from the Tevatron collider at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Pushing the use of the EDG software beyond feasibility studies has produced a set of recommendations for authors of experiment‐level software, for producers of middleware and for designers of Grid systems. This paper describes the D0 experience with the EDG software and the resulting recommendations. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
A new task scheduling method for distributed programs that require memory management
Authors: Koide Hiroshi , Oie Yuji 
Published: October 2005

AbstractIn parallel and distributed applications, it is very likely that object‐oriented languages, such as Java and Ruby, and large‐scale semistructured data written in XML will be employed. However, because of their inherent dynamic memory management, parallel and distributed applications must sometimes suspend the execution of all tasks running on the processors. This adversely affects their execution on the parallel and distributed platform. In this paper, we propose a new task scheduling method called CP/MM (Critical Path/Memory Management) which can efficiently schedule tasks for applications requiring memory management. The underlying concept is to consider the cost due to memory management when the task scheduling system allocates ready (executable) coarse‐grain tasks, or macro‐tasks, to processors. We have developed three task scheduling modules, including CP/MM, for a task scheduling system which is implemented on a Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation) communication infrastructure. Our experimental results show that CP/MM can successfully prevent high‐priority macro‐tasks from being affected by the garbage collection arising from memory management, so that CP/MM can efficiently schedule distributed programs whose critical paths are relatively long.

Preparation of undoped and indium doped ZnO thin films by pulsed laser deposition method
Authors: Kotlyarchuk B. , Savchuk V. , Oszwaldowski M. 
Published: October 2005

AbstractAn original modification of the standard Pulse Laser Deposition (PLD) method for preparing both undoped and indium doped zinc oxide (ZnO:In) thin films at low substrate temperature is proposed. This preparation method does not demand any further post‐deposition annealing treatment of the grown films. The developed method allows to grow thin films at low substrate temperature that prevents them from the considerable loss of their intrinsic electrical and optical properties. The influence of deposition parameters on the electrical and optical parameters of the undoped and the indium doped ZnO thin films is also analysed. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Optimization of Cr8O21 targets for Pulsed Laser Deposition
Authors: Tortet L. , Guinneton F. , Monnereau O. , Stanoi D. , Socol G. , Mihailescu I. N. , Zhang T. , Grigorescu C. 
Published: October 2005

AbstractThis work describes the preparation of Cr8O21 pellets with optimised mass density to be used as targets for Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) of chromium dioxide thin films. Cr8O21 is synthesised by thermal decomposition of CrO3, at 270 °C. An attempt to reduce the grain size of the Cr8O21 powder to the nanometer scale has been made in order to increase the density of the pressed and sintered pellets serving as targets. The morphology of those starting fine powders as well as of targets (before and after laser ablation) and the corresponding thin films were characterized and studied using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The composition of the films is a mixture of crystallised Cr2O3 and amorphous CrO2. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Studies on growth, induction period, interfacial energy and metastable zonewidth of m‐nitroaniline
Authors: Kanagasekaran T. , Gunasekaran M. , Srinivasan P. , Jayaraman D. , Gopalakrishnan R. , Ramasamy P. 
Published: October 2005

AbstractSingle crystals of m‐Nitroaniline (mNA) were grown by slow cooling solution growth technique. Induction period, interfacial energy and metastable zonewidth have been evaluated. The solubility of mNA has been estimated at different temperatures in acetone and ethanol. Interfacial energy has been estimated using the experimentally determined induction period values. It is observed that the nucleation rate increases with the increase of supersaturation. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
