Interactive visualization

Article Abstract:

PV-Wave, $4,500, is computer software for visualization and analysis of data, from Precision Visuals Inc. A P&C (Point & Click) version runs interactively providing convenient access to files as well as graphing and analysis features. The program tested for this evaluation ran on a Sun SparcStation IPC with 8 Mbytes of system memory. Sixteen Mbytes is recommended. Installing the program is easy, and it comes with a helpful tutorial. PV-Wave P&C can import various kinds of files: ASCII; comma-separated variables (CSV); binary; tagged-image file format (TIFF); raster images; and custom. Data visualization is the program's strength, and data can be visually interpreted and analyzed in various ways. The program was very slow in accomplishing some procedures, but this might have been because it was tested on a system with only half the recommended memory. PV-Wave deserves serious consideration.

Cooperating on superconductivity

Article Abstract:

IBM, AT&T and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lincoln Laboratory are members of the Consortium for Superconducting Electronics (CSE). The two-year-old organization is run for the US government by MIT and has a simple organizational structure chaired by the provost of MIT. Managers of four major programs in materials and processing, junctions, networks, and circuits advise the directorate of project status. CSE deals with superconductivity at the thin film level. The CSE materials and processing program is of high importance for the development and evaluation of substrate materials and film-deposition techniques. The consortium studies how to optimize several deposition techniques: sputtering, coevaporation, laser ablation and molecular-beam epitaxy to learn how to make the best film for specific applications.
