Next: M.E. Bailey, Director Up: Research Previous: C.S. Jeffery, Research Astronomer Contents . Dr Michael Smith has focused mainly on the earliest stages of stellar evolution: the processes leading to star formation from an initially unstable, collapsing cloud of gas, and the energetic outflows -- jets and winds -- associated with the formation and early evolution of protostars and pre-main-sequence stellar objects. ... Spectacular jets of molecules, however, betray its presence. ...

... This proposal seeks to investigate the properties of the GRB-SN and therefore enhance our understanding of the GRB central engine, GRB progenitors, and the associated physical properties. ... Their results favour low metallicity, sub-luminous galaxies with L A significant part of Rapoport's PhD thesis will be dedicated to better understand the Supernovae that become GRBs, and to investigate the connections between GRB central engines and the progenitor stars that explode. ...

The HyperNews Linux KHG Discussion Pages . ... Keywords: dma, page locking, process termination . ... The device is also able to initiate a DMA transfer all by itself to or from the application's memory. To be able to do this DMA transfer I will have to pin some pages to memory, do some vitual to physical mapping, and also some scatter-gather mechanism. ... What is the best way to make sure that the pages get pinned in memory until the device driver receives a release from the dying process? ...
