Subject: Implementation of a math model of glucose infusion
The prevalence of diabetes indicates that it is a major,
worldwide health problem that is becoming increasingly
serious. An important step to mitigate this problem is
to promote and facilitate understanding of the cause,
direction and consequences of diabetes.
To assist in this effort, we have developed and now make
available the computer implementation of a mathematical
model for the physiological response to a glucose infusion.
This model demonstrates dynamically the production of insulin
for various model parameters, including the pancreatic
sensitivity to glucose.
The model is implemented in modest Fortran and Matlab codes,
with plotting of the dynamic response through Matlab graphics.
Details for requesting the codes and associated documentation
are given in http://www.lehigh.edu/~wes1/insulin.html.

Subject: TetGen 1.4.0 is available for download
TetGen is a tetrahedral mesh generator. It supports automatic mesh generation
for adaptive finite element and finite volume methods. TetGen implements a set
of Delaunay-based algorithms. It is written in C++ and can be used as either
an executable program or a library for integrating into other
applications. All major operating systems, e.g. Unix/Linux, MacOS, Windows,
etc, are supported.
New release 1.4.0 of TetGen is available for download at TetGen's website:
http://tetgen.berlios.de
The new version has many improvements in the algorithms that lead to a better
performance in mesh quality, mesh size, speed, and stability. A new feature to
identically preserve the input boundary in the output tetrahedral mesh is
provided. More details about the new features can be found at the TetGen's
website.
You're welcome to send questions, bug reports, feature suggestions to me
(si@wias-berlin.de).

Subject: PARA'06, Novel Data Formats and Algorithms, Umea, Sweden, Jun 06
Minisymposium on
Novel Data Formats and Algorithms
for Dense Linear Algebra Computations
Abstract: Recently, recursion was introduced into the area of Dense Linear
Algebra with the intent of producing new algorithms as well as improving
its existing algorithms. Recursion, via the divide-and-conquer paradigm,
introduced variable blocking to complement the standard fixed block
algorithms. In particular, new data structures for dense linear algebra
became an active research area. This Mini-Symposium will focus on both new
data structures and/or new or existing algorithms for high performing
dense linear algebra algorithms.
To be held at the
