This research supports the conclusion that both environments are a viable alternative to single-CPU machines and that moderately parallel environments are feasible computer platforms for ocean modeling applications. These different versions enable a user to solve routing and scheduling problems interactively. They also schedule units to move through the network to perform tasks. Using piecewise linear elements and a superconvergence result, a scheme for solving Poisson's equation using finite element methods is developed and compared with standard methods. The approach requires only a single nodal point to accurately achieve a converged solution at any point in the domain with an error independent of grid size.
Scientific research consists of a vast number of contributions throughout documented history.
Each contribution to the broader fabric of science represents a blend of personalities and perspectives over time. Single-subject research, in union with new developments in statistical methodology and computer technology, has been used to understand the patterns of individuals' behaviors well beyond what was thought possible only a few decades ago. Similar models have been used to predict BSA in dogs, but dosages based on these predictions tend to be too high for large, obese dogs. However, we hypothesize that better estimates of BSA could be obtained by changing the form of the predictive model or by incorporating other measures of body shape and size. To test this, BSA data were collected on dogs euthanized for animal control purposes.
