Subject: FORTRAN mesh generation

I have spent several weeks crawling around the internet trying to
locate a user-friendly mesh generator for 2D elements written in
FORTRAN (77or90). I am a research student at Kingston University,
England and I am trying to find this hidden treasure to incorporate it into my
research into Finite Element Analysis. Any advice or recommendations
will be gratefully received. Thankyou.

Subject: Survey: Publishing in Chemistry

Dear colleague!

Scientific publishing is changing in a world that is dominated
by the Internet. As a part of my PhD-thesis I am studying
the influence of electronic media on publishing in chemistry.

I would be very grateful, if you would take time to fill in my
survey, which I am using to gain an understanding of current
trends dealing with scientific publishing.

On average to read and complete the form will take you 15 minutes.
Feel free to tell a colleague about this survey as well.

The survey is accessible via World Wide Web at:

http://www.ccc.uni-erlangen.de/clark/survey.html

No record will be made of your identity. Your specific answers
will not be shared with other organizations. You will not be put
on any mailing lists or offered any products.

Thank you for your interest in this survey. Your participation
is greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Subject: Wanted -- Odd back issues of TOMS

Has anyone got copies of ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS)

Volume 1 No 2 (June 1975)
Volume 5 No 3 (Sept 1979)

that are surplus to their requirements. I've been trying to get a complete
run and am running short of ideas as to where to get the last two.

If anyone is interested I have spare copies of all ACM TOMS from
Vol 9 No 4 (Dec 1983) to Vol 22 No4 (Dec 1996) with the exception of Vol
16 No 1 (Mar 1990) and Vol 14 No 1 (Mar 1988).

I also have spares of the SIGNUM newsletter from Vol 18 No 4 (Oct 1983) to
Vol 31 No 4 (Oct 1996) less

30(3), 28(3), 25(3), 20(1) and 19(3)

All looking for a good home.

Subject: METIS 3.0: Graph/Mesh Partitioning and Sparse Matrix Ordering Software

METIS
A Software Package for Partitioning Unstructured Graphs, Partitioning
Meshes, and Computing Fill-Reducing Orderings of Sparse Matrices

http://www.cs.umn.edu/~karypis/metis
------------------------------------

Version 3.0
-----------


We would like to announce the release of version 3.0 of the METIS package
for partitioning unstructured graphs, partitioning finite element meshes,
and for computing fill-reducing orderings of sparse matrices.
METIS 3.0 contains a number of changes over METIS 2.0. The major changes
are the following:

* Improved the speed of the partitioning algorithms. The new code has
better cache locality which dramatically improves the speed for large
graphs. A factor of 2 to 6 speedup can be obtained for a wide range of
graphs. METIS can now partition a 4 million node graph in well under a
minute on a MIPS R10000.

* Added partitioning routines that can be used to compute a partition
with prescribed partition weights. For example, they can be used to
compute a 3-way partition such that partition 1 has 50% of the weight,
partition 2 has 20% of the way, and partition 3 has 30% of the weight.

* METIS can now directly partition the element node array of finite
element meshes. It produces two partitioning vectors. One for the
elements and one for the nodes.
METIS supports the following elements: triangles, tetrahedra, hexahedra.

* METIS now includes a number of mesh conversion functions that can
be used to create the dual and nodal graphs directly from the
element connectivity arrays. These are highly optimized routines.

* Improved the quality and reduced the run-time of the fill-reducing
orderings.
- Added a node based ordering code that greatly improves ordering
quality.
- Improved the quality of the orderings produced by the original
edge-based ordering code.
- Added better support for ordering LP matrices.
- METIS can now analyze the graph and try to compress together nodes
with identical sparsity pattern. For some problems, this significantly
reduces ordering time.

* Better support has been added for Fortran programs.

* Better support for weighted graphs.

Subject: ANNOUNCE: f90doc, a documentation tool for Fortran 90

* Announcing f90doc, a documentation tool for Fortran 90 code *

f90doc is an easy-to-learn documentation tool for Fortran 90 written by Erik
Demaine. Basically, it generates pages of HTML documentation from Fortran 90
source. The documentation is derived from comments prefixed with !! written
(if desired) in a simple and intuitive documentation language whose source is
easily readable in the code itself, while formatting nicely in HTML. f90doc is
similar to javadoc, but does not require comments to be written in HTML.
