... I am developing an Informed Prefetching and Caching system as part of the kernel in which it is very important that the memory assigned to hold the data does not get swapped to disk. Without any thought to swapping I used vmalloc() to assign memory to the data structures of the Informed prefetching system. ... I later realized that most probably the pages assigned using vmalloc() were getting swapped to the disk and when I referenced them, they were brought from the disk rather than memory. ...

... The choice of which type of electricity is called "positive" and which "negative" was made around 1750 by Ben Franklin, early American scientist and man of many talents (the stamp on the left commemorates his role as first US postmaster--and colonial postmaster before that). ... Franklin knew of two types of electric charge, depending on the material one rubbed. ... Later, when electric batteries were discovered, scientists naturally assigned the direction of the flow of current to be from (+) to (-...

... ClassX is a project aimed at creating an automated system to classify X-ray sources and is envisaged as a prototype of the Virtual Observatory. ... The most fundamental are: (a) classification methods and algorithms, (b) selection and definition of classes (object types), and (c) identification of source counterparts across multi-wavelength data. ... Using different sets of training parameters (attributes), we get different classifiers for the same list of class names (e.g., Figure 1). ...

... BITS sets the number of bits per sample for each baseband channel. ... Since an experiment will typically use the same number of bits per sample for all channels, it is usually only necessary to specify one value. If BITS is 2 , the first magnitude bit is placed on assigned track plus 8 for FORMAT = VLBA1:4 , on assigned track plus 4 for FORMAT = VLBA1:2 , and on assigned track plus 2 for FORMAT = VLBA1:1 . ... Same as baseband channel 1 if one or more are set. ... Example: BITS=1 . ...

The late afternoon (10/23) weather cleared beautifully and the camera was transported to the 2.5m enclosure. Mike, Jim, and Jeff Pier take the strain on the camera. Mike positions the truck in the 3.5m enclosure and the camera is lifted onto the truck. ... APO's most experienced pickup driver (Jon Davis) is assigned the task of driving the camera to the enclosure, while Jim, Mike, Dave Woods ride with the camera in the back, and et al "chase" the truck with cameras and applause. ...

... For any PostScript hardcopy printer that has been assigned by ASSIGN/GRAPH , MIDAS produces a so-called encapsulated PostScript file. Using a public domain macro package ( e.g. Psfig/TeX) this PostScript plot file can, with a minimum of effort, be included in TeX or LaTeX documents. To do so, in the TeX or LaTeX document one should refer to the (possibly renamed) MIDAS PostScript file (normally pscrplot.ps ). ... Here is how the LaTeX text file with the included MIDAS plot then looks like. ...

... Astronomy Education Bibliography . ... Many scientific and engineering disciplines (as well as the National Academy of Science) are taking a new look at this question and beginning to urge university departments to broaden the skills with which their students emerge from graduate school. In astronomy, the American Astronomical Society in the early 1990's appointed an Astronomy Education Policy Board, which took on as its first task a nationwide re-examination of graduate training in our field. ...
