description: Da secoli, il rapporto fra religione e politica interroga la morale civile, trascinando con sé la riflessione sul dimensionamento di potere secolare e auctoritas del sacro. Il tempo della politica scandito a partire dalla rivoluzione del 1789 e culminato nella pervasiva secolarizzazione del primato ideologico novecentesco è sembrato per una lunga fase trionfante. La religione si è trovata ridotta a coadiuvante delle istituzioni, a tentativo ‘spontaneo’ di reagire o resistere all’urto del processo storico.
I saggi offerti in questo volume vogliono essere un contributo per fornire alcuni strumenti interpretativi, per quanto limitati a contesti specifici. Il rapporto del tutto peculiare tra Stato moderno, emergenza del presentismo e mescolanza di potere civile e religione è alla base di tutti i saggi che qui presentiamo. Ci. sia che abbiano come tema un particolare momento storico, sia che siano dedicati alla più stretta attualità.

description: Up-to-date and reliable language models are consistently sought after and are essential in various applications. Typically, models are trained on a fixed dataset and then deployed globally. However, the knowledge of the models becomes outdated. Enabling automatic updation of AI knowledge using web data involves significant concerns regarding the model's safety and quality due to a threat from unsafe and undesirable text across the web. The purity of new data was essential for updating knowledge of language models to maintain their reliability. This paper proposes AutoPureData, a system that automatically collects and purifies web data. The system loaded a sample of web data. Utilizing existing trusted AI models, it successfully eliminated unsafe text with an accuracy of 97% and undesirable text with an accuracy of 86%, demonstrating the system's effectiveness in purifying the data. The system ensures that only meaningful and safe text can be used to update LLM knowledge. The pure text was then optimized and stored in a vector database for future querying. It was found that LLM can fetch new data from the vector DB. The LLM writes the RAG query in English, even if the user's query is in another language, proving that the system can perform cross-lingual retrieval. This paper proposes a method to maintain the accuracy and relevance of up-to-date language models by ensuring that only purified data was used to update LLM knowledge. This work contributes to updating knowledge of chatbots using meaningful and safe text, enhancing their utility across various industries, and potentially reducing the risks associated with outputs caused by unsafe or impure data.

ALEXA, IS AMAZON A SURVEILLANCE CAPITALIST? PRIVACY ISSUES AND OTHER CONCERNS REGARDING THE SURVEILLANCE CAPITALIST ECONOMIC LOGIC
Creators: name: Paniagua Delgado, Jenniffer
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: As cyberspace has become an important part of our everyday life, we can come across with plenty of smart devices, sometimes even without realizing it. Data collection has become a normality, but a big part of that data goes for undisclosed commercial practices of extraction, prediction, and sales. Therefore, it is important to understand the reasons behind that data collection and whether our confidential information is being protected or actually used against us. Zuboff explains the surveillance capitalist economic logic conveying the theoretical framework she created with real-world experiences and cases. It is clear here, that surveillance capitalism presents a current threat to cyberspace and the way we interact with it. Moreover, Zuboff acknowledges through her book the existence of evidence that suggests Amazon is directed towards surveillance capitalist methods. This study aimed to prove that this, in fact, is the case. This information was obtained paying close attention to interviews, press releases, company programs, and policies related to Amazon. Through this paper, it has become evident that Amazon has, and plans to continue having, surveillance capitalist practices. It is important to scrutinize Amazon and other big tech companies that claim to protect its users. The reality is different since, at the end of the day, companies serve their own interests. Keywords: Amazon, behavioral modification, cyberspace, privacy, surveillance capitalism.

description: It is impractical to verify multiplier or divider circuits entirely at the bit-level using ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs), because the BDD representations for these functions grow exponentially with the word size. It is possible, however, to analyze individual stages of these circuits using BDDs. Such analysis can be helpful when implementing complex arithmetic algorithms. As a demonstration, we show that Intel could have used BDDs to detect erroneous look-up table entries in the Pentium(TM) floating point divider. Going beyond verification, we show that bit-level analysis can be used to generate a correct version of the table.

The wage gap between the public and the private sector among Canadian-born and immigrant workers

Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2017

description: Using data from the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS), this paper investigates the wage gap between the public sector and the private sector for the Canadian-born and immigrant male and female workers. The public sector includes public administration, educational services, and health care and social assistance, while the other industry categories define the private sector. The average annual wages of public sector employees are generally higher than those of their private sector counterparts with the same endowments. Thus, as was found in earlier studies, there exists a public sector wage premium in the Canadian labour market. The results of an Oaxaca decomposition indicate that immigrants enjoy a higher public sector wage premium than Canadian natives. Comparing Canadian natives to immigrants, the wage gap in favour of male natives is appreciably greater in the private sector than in the public sector, whereas the wage advantage to female natives is slightly larger in the public sector than in the private sector. For both natives and immigrants, wages increase importantly with educational attainment and work experience acquired in Canada in both public and private sectors.

description: We present a way to abstract functional units in symbolic simulation of actual circuits, thus achieving the effect of uninterpreted functions at the bit-level. Additionally, we propose an efficient encoding technique that can be used to represent uninterpreted symbols with BDDs, while allowing these symbols to be propagated by simulation with a conventional bit-level symbolic simulator. Our abstraction and encoding techniques result in an automatic symmetry reduction and allow the control and forwarding logic of the actual circuit to be used unmodified. The abstraction method builds on the behavioral Efficient Memory Model [18][19] and its capability to dynamically introduce consistent initial state, which is identical for two simulation sequences. We apply the abstraction and encoding ideas on the verification of pipelined microprocessors by correspondence checking, where a pipelined microprocessor is compared against a non-pipelined specification

description: Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (OBDDs) have found widespread use in CAD applications such as formal verification, logic synthesis, and test generation. OBDDs represent Boolean functions in a form that is both canonical and compact for many practical cases. They can be generated and manipulated by efficient graph algorithms. Researchers have found that many tasks can be expressed as series of operations on Boolean functions, making them candidates for OBDD-based methods. The success of OBDDs has inspired efforts to improve their efficiency and to expand their range of applicability. Techniques have been discovered to make the representation more compact and to represent other classes of functions. This has led to improved performance on existing OBDD applications, as well as enabled new classes of problems to be solved. This paper provides an overview of the state of the art in graph-based function representations. We focus on several recent advances of particular importance for formal verification and other CAD applications.
L’influence du lobby pro-israélien dans la conduite de la politique étrangère américaine au Moyen-Orient. Étude de cas sur les négociations de l’accord sur le nucléaire iranien.
Creators: name: St-Laurent, Maude

description: Durant les dernières années, la problématique du nucléaire iranien a occupé beaucoup de place dans les médias occidentaux. Un des facteurs expliquant l’importance qu’a pris le dossier dans la politique américaine est l’influence des lobbies israéliens à Washington. En juillet 2015, après de longues négociations, une entente a été conclue entre le P5 + 1 et l'Iran appelé JCPOA ou Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Dans ce mémoire, nous tentons de répondre à la question suivante : Que révèle l’accord sur le nucléaire iranien sur les stratégies et les limites de l’influence du lobby pro-israélien à Washington ? L'opposition au JCPOA est venue de divers groupes incluant le Parti républicain, le gouvernement d'Israël, et diverses organisations de lobbying pro-israéliennes aux États-Unis. La portée des efforts du lobby AIPAC pour contrecarrer l'accord a été sans précédent. Le groupe de pression et ses alliés ont utilisé divers moyens afin de convaincre les membres du Congrès de rejeter l’accord sur le nucléaire iranien, tels que la formation de coalition, le lancement de publicités à la télévision, la publication de reportages dans les journaux, l’utilisation des médias sociaux, le lobbying direct auprès des législateurs, etc. Cependant, ces tactiques n’ont pas réussi à leur assurer un vote des deux-tiers des membres du Congrès. L’entente a démontré les limites de l’influence du lobby israélien, notamment d’AIPAC, à Washington. D’abord, cet échec s’explique par des changements dans le paysage politique américain qui ont causé un fractionnement du lobby pro-israélien. Ensuite des erreurs stratégiques ont été commises par le lobby et ses partenaires lors de leur campagne.

Morphological annotation of Korean with Directly Maintainable Resources

description: This article describes an exclusively resource-based method of morphological annotation of written Korean text. Korean is an agglutinative language. Our annotator is designed to process text before the operation of a syntactic parser. In its present state, it annotates one-stem words only. The output is a graph of morphemes annotated with accurate linguistic information. The granularity of the tagset is 3 to 5 times higher than usual tagsets. A comparison with a reference annotated corpus showed that it achieves 89% recall without any corpus training. The language resources used by the system are lexicons of stems, transducers of suffixes and transducers of generation of allomorphs. All can be easily updated, which allows users to control the evolution of the performances of the system. It has been claimed that morphological annotation of Korean text could only be performed by a morphological analysis module accessing a lexicon of morphemes. We show that it can also be performed directly with a lexicon of words and without applying morphological rules at annotation time, which speeds up annotation to 1,210 word/s. The lexicon of words is obtained from the maintainable language resources through a fully automated compilation process.

description: We study the "complexity equals volume" (CV) and "complexity equals action" (CA) conjectures by examining moments of of time symmetry for $\rm AdS_3$ wormholes having $n$ asymptotic regions and arbitrary (orientable) internal topology. For either prescription, the complexity relative to $n$ copies of the $M=0$ BTZ black hole takes the form $ΔC = αc χ$, where $c$ is the central charge and $χ$ is the Euler character of the bulk time-symmetric surface. The coefficients $α_V = -4π/3$, $α_A = 1/6 $ defined by CV and CA are independent of both temperature and any moduli controlling the geometry inside the black hole. Comparing with the known structure of dual CFT states in the hot wormhole limit, the temperature and moduli independence of $α_V$, $α_A$ implies that any CFT gate set defining either complexity cannot be local. In particular, the complexity of an efficient quantum circuit building local thermofield-double-like entanglement of thermal-sized patches does not depend on the separation of the patches so entangled. We also comment on implications of the (positive) sign found for $α_A$, which requires the associated complexity to decrease when handles are added to our wormhole.

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Generative Design is the methodology for automatic creation of a large number of designs via an iterative
 algorithmic framework while respecting user-defined criteria and limitations. It is mainly used as a designer
 assistive tool for the creation of prototypes in sectors like product manufacturing, automotive and aerospace
 industry while there are also references of use of Generative Design in architecture [1]. The algorithms used
 are mainly originating from nature-mimicking procedures [2]. Generative Design differentiates from shape
 optimization due to the fact that it does not focus on finding the optimal design but on being able to propose
 a large variety of designs that satisfy all designer-defined constraints in an automated procedure. Thus, it
 can be said that it focuses on proposing initial designs for inspiring the designer.
 In this work, a methodology for Generative Design called DzAIN is proposed. DzAIN is based on an
 algorithmic architecture that combines topology optimization and deep learning methods. Deep learning
 and specifically Deep Belief Networks (DBN) [3] are used for diversifying, through stochasticity, designs
 generated by topology optimization method Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) [4]. SIMP
 is used for guiding the design procedure towards a local optima. The response time for DzAIN to propose
 a series of shapes is minimal as only a small population of SIMP iterations is needed while the time needed
 for application of a series of DBNs is insignificant. In the current work, a series of examples of computer
 generated designs with the use of DzAIN are presented in order to validate the proposed methodology.

description: We propose a fast and versatile algorithm to calculate local and transport properties such as conductance, shot noise, local density of state or local currents in mesoscopic quantum systems. Within the non equilibrium Green function formalism, we generalize the recursive Green function technique to tackle multiterminal devices with arbitrary geometries. We apply our method to analyze two recent experiments: an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer in a 2D gas and a Hall bar made of graphene nanoribbons in quantum Hall regime. In the latter case, we find that the Landau edge state pinned to the Dirac point gets diluted upon increasing carrier density.

description: This thesis makes an argument for Clint Eastwood as a historian director with a demonstrable appetite for the use of the medium to champion and expand cinema’s potential as a tool for the exploration, deconstruction and re-examination of traditional approaches to the past. A case is made that the eighteen dramatic historical films Eastwood has directed show a consistent emphasis on subverting the conventions of historical subgenres; reinterpreting historical events or individuals; rejecting certitude in favour of ambiguity; and inviting reflections on the insurmountable gap between the past and the histories we construct in order to recapture it.

description: The Informedia Project digital video library pioneered the automatic analysis of television broadcast news and its retrieval on demand. Building on that system, we have developed a wearable, personalized Informedia system, which listens to and transcribes the wearer's part of a conversation, recognizes the face of the current dialog partner and remembers his/her voice. The next time the system sees the same person's face and hears the same voice, it can retrieve the audio from the last conversation, replaying in compressed form the names and major issues that were mentioned. All of this happens unobtrusively, somewhat like an intelligent assistant who whispers to you: "That's Bob Jones from Tech Solutions; two weeks ago in London you discussed solar panels". This paper outlines the general system components as well as interface considerations. Initial implementations showed that both face recognition methods and speaker identification technology have serious shortfalls that must be overcome.
Three Point Nine Percent Female: A Review of the Barriers to Increasing Female Troops Participation on United Nations Peace Operations
Creators: name: Morris, Connor
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Since UNSCR 1325 (2000) urged member states to ensure increased representation of women at all levels, the UN has made marginal progress improving the gender balance of troops deployed on UNPO. Despite ambitious targets for increasing the percentage of female troops in these operations, as of January 2019 women made up only 3.9% of all troops deployed on UNPO, up from 1.8% in 2006. Attempts to assess the barriers to improving the gender balance of personnel tend to consider all types of military personnel, police and civilian staff involved in UNPO, rather than focusing on the specific challenges of meeting gender targets for troops. In order to fill the current policy and research gap, this paper considers the challenges to improving the gender balance of troops. Existing studies highlight four possible explanations for the failure to make quicker progress: (1) there are not enough female troops available to contribute to UNPO; (2) UN and UN member states policies and procedures discourage women’s inclusion; (3) the gendered predispositions of decision makers and societal norms portray women as needing protection rather than as protectors; and (4) there are few incentives offered to both female troops and UN member states. This paper will evaluate each of these explanations as well as solutions that have been proposed to overcome existing barriers to female troop participation in UNPO. It will conclude with a set of recommendations, calling on the UN and UN member states to: improve recruitment and retention of women in national armies; eliminate unnecessary policies discouraging women’s inclusion; directly challenge gendered predispositions that neglect to see women as protectors; and provide financial incentives for UN member states that contribute female troops. The paper concludes by addressing the implications of its research for Canada and analyzing current actions being taken to improve the gender balance of troops deployed on UNPO.

description: The largely intrinsically disordered phenylalanine-glycine-rich nucleoporins (FG Nups) underline a selectivity mechanism, which enables the rapid translocation of transport factors (TFs) through the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). Conflicting models of NPC transport have assumed that FG Nups undergo different conformational transitions upon interacting with TFs. To selectively characterize conformational changes in FG Nups induced by TFs we performed small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) with contrast matching. Conformational ensembles derived SANS data indicate an increase in the overall size of FG Nups is associated with TF interaction. Moreover, the organization of the FG motif in the interacting state is consistent with prior experimental analyses defining that FG motifs undergo conformational restriction upon interacting with TFs. These results provide structural insights into a highly dynamic interaction and illustrate how functional disorder imparts rapid and selective FG Nup / TF interactions.

Die besondere Stellung des Elements Fluor im Periodensystem bedingt eine Chemie dramatischer Gegensätze zwischen extremer Reaktivität und vollständiger Inertheit. Die Einführung fluorierter funktioneller Gruppen in organische Moleküle vermag auf einzigartige Weise die physikalisch-chemischen und pharmakologischen Eigenschaften zu verändern. Die vorliegende Dissertation beschäftigt sich im Hauptteil mit der selektiven Aktivierung des ungiftigen Schwefelhexafluorid zur Einführung der Pentafluorsulfanylgruppe in alpha-substituierte Styrole unter Verwendung von Licht als Energiequelle. Die Verwendung stark reduziertender Photoredoxkatalysatoren basierend auf Phenylphenothiazin bietet erstmals Zugang zu einem unbekannten Aktivierungsmodus, der die Übertragung der SF5-Gruppe auf organische Substrate erlaubt. Die Knüpfung der C-S-Bindung war zuvor ausschließlich auf die Verwendung extrem toxischer Reagenzien wie S2F10, SF5Cl oder SF5Br beschränkt. Die Methode eröffnet damit eine nachhaltige Verwertungsmöglichkeit des starken Treibhausgases zur Darstellung potentiell pharmakologisch wertvoller Moleküle unter milden Bedingungen. Im weiteren Verlauf der Arbeit wurde die Methode auf die Aktivierung von Trichlorfluormethan zur Einführung des Dichlorfluormethylsubstituenten übertragen. Im letzten Teil werden erste Ergebnisse der photochemischen Chlorierung von Benzol unter Verwendung von anorganischen Chloriden sowie Nitrosyltetrafluoroborat vorgestellt.

description: We study the differential conductance of a time-reversal symmetric Weyl semimetal-superconductor (N-S) junction with an s-wave superconducting state. We find that there exists an extended regime where the zero-bias differential conductance acquires the universal value $e^{2}/h$ per unit channel, independent of the pairing and chemical potentials on each side of the junction, due to a perfect cancellation of Andreev and normal reflection contributions. This universal conductance can be attributed to the interplay of the unique spin/orbital-momentum locking and s-wave pairing that couples Weyl nodes of the same chirality. We expect that the universal conductance can serve as a robust and distinct signature for time-reversal symmetric Weyl fermions, and be observed in the recently discovered time-reversal symmetric Weyl semimetals.

description: We report the first extragalactic detection of the complex organic molecules (COMs) dimethyl ether (CH$_3$OCH$_3$) and methyl formate (CH$_3$OCHO) with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). These COMs together with their parent species methanol (CH$_3$OH), were detected toward two 1.3 mm continuum sources in the N 113 star-forming region in the low-metallicity Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Rotational temperatures ($T_{\rm rot}\sim130$ K) and total column densities ($N_{\rm rot}\sim10^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$) have been calculated for each source based on multiple transitions of CH$_3$OH. We present the ALMA molecular emission maps for COMs and measured abundances for all detected species. The physical and chemical properties of two sources with COMs detection, and the association with H$_2$O and OH maser emission indicate that they are hot cores. The fractional abundances of COMs scaled by a factor of 2.5 to account for the lower metallicity in the LMC are comparable to those found at the lower end of the range in Galactic hot cores. Our results have important implications for studies of organic chemistry at higher redshift.

description: Quantum dot-superconductor arrays have emerged as a new and promising material platform for realizing topological Kitaev chains. So far, experiments have implemented a two-site chain with limited protection. Here we propose an experimentally feasible protocol for scaling up the chain in order to enhance the protection of the Majorana zero modes. To this end, we make use of the fact that the relative sign of normal and superconducting hoppings mediated by an Andreev bound state can be changed by electrostatic gates. In this way, our method only relies on the use of individual electrostatic gates on hybrid regions, quantum dots, and tunnel barriers, respectively, without the need for individual magnetic flux control, greatly simplifying the device design. Our work provides guidance for realizing a topologically protected Kitaev chain, which is the building block of error-resilient topological quantum computation.

description: Bifacial photovoltaic technologies are estimated to supply >16% of global energy demand by 2050 to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. However, the current IEC bifacial measurement standard (IEC 60904-1-2) does not provide a pathway to account for the critical effects of spectral or broadband albedo on the rear-side irradiance, with in-lab characterization of bifacial devices limited by overestimation of rear incident irradiance, neglecting spectral albedo effects on the rear, or both. As a result, prior reports have limited applicability to the diverse landscapes of bifacial photovoltaic deployments. In this paper, we identify a general bifacial illumination method which accounts for spectral albedo while representing realistic system operating conditions, referred to as the scaled rear irradiance (SRI) method. We describe how the SRI method extends the IEC standard, facilitating indoor testing of cell or module performance under varied albedo with standard solar simulator set-ups. This enables improved comparisons of bifacial technologies, application-specific optimization, and the standardization of bifacial module power ratings.

description: Magnetic impurities play an important role in many spintronics-related materials. Motivated by this fact, we study the anomalous Hall effect in the presence of magnetic impurities, focusing on two-dimensional electron systems with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We find a highly nonlinear dependence on the impurity polarization, including possible sign changes. At small impurity magnetizations, this is a consequence of the remarkable result that the linear term is independent of the spin-orbit coupling strength. Near saturation of the impurity spins, the anomalous Hall conductivity can be resonantly enhanced, due to interference between potential and magnetic scattering.

description: Multi-level qudit systems are increasingly being explored as alternatives to traditional qubit systems due to their denser information storage and processing potential. However, qudits are more susceptible to decoherence than qubits due to increased loss channels, noise sensitivity, and crosstalk. To address these challenges, we develop protocols for dynamical decoupling (DD) of qudit systems based on the Heisenberg-Weyl group. We implement and experimentally verify these DD protocols on a superconducting transmon processor that supports qudit operation based on qutrits $(d=3)$ and ququarts $(d=4)$. Specifically, we demonstrate single-qudit DD sequences to decouple qutrits and ququarts from system-bath-induced decoherence. We also introduce two-qudit DD sequences designed to suppress the detrimental cross-Kerr couplings between coupled qudits. This allows us to demonstrate a significant improvement in the fidelity of time-evolved qutrit Bell states. Our results highlight the utility of leveraging DD to enable scalable qudit-based quantum computing.

description: Abstract: "Computers support more and more daily activities for common users, and users increasingly take their activities to different locations. Rather than being bound to a specific device, users would like to take full advantage of the computer systems accessible to them, much like they take advantage of the furniture in each physical space. However, user attention takes a heavy toll when scaling the use of computers to tasks that are constantly interrupted and resumed, and that span many locations and long periods. In this report we describe an infrastructure that provides users with easy access to their tasks as a logical unit, across multiple devices, and over time spans of years. The infrastructure handles platform and application heterogeneity, as well as dynamic adaptation to resource variations. We validate that the infrastructure's overhead is small compared to normal application startup, and that the approach scales."

Real Estate Transaction Taxes on Foreign Buyers in Greater Vancouver and Toronto and Their Effect on the Housing Market
Creators: name: Thurston, Zachary
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: This paper uses housing price and transaction data to examine the effects of the Foreign Buyers Tax and Non-Resident Speculation Tax on the affected housing markets. These taxes were found to impact both housing prices and the number of transactions in the regions they applied. The Foreign Buyers Tax was found to initially decrease the monthly percentage change in housing prices by 1.73 percentage points, and later by 1.43 percentage points. This later effect is estimated when the scope of the tax was expanded, and the rate increased. The Non-Resident Speculation Tax was found to decrease the monthly percentage change in housing prices by 3.94 percentage points. The number of monthly transactions was also impacted by the taxes. The Foreign Buyers Tax decreased monthly transactions by 24 percent, and later by 30 percent. The equivalent effect was estimated at 38 percent for the Non-Resident Speculation Tax. These estimates should be interpreted as the short-run impact of the taxes within the year the tax was imposed.

description: The ability to distribute quantum entanglement over long distances is a vital ingredient for quantum technologies. Single atoms and atom-like defects in solids are ideal quantum light sources and quantum memories to store entanglement. However, a major obstacle to developing long-range quantum networks is the mismatch between typical atomic transition energies in the ultraviolet and visible spectrum, and the low-loss propagation band of optical fibers in the infrared, around 1.5 $μ$m. A notable exception is the Er$^{3+}$ ion, whose 1.5 $μ$m transition is exploited in fiber amplifiers that drive modern communications networks. However, an optical interface to single Er$^{3+}$ ions has not yet been achieved because of the low photon emission rate, less than 100 Hz, that results from the electric dipole-forbidden nature of this transition. Here, we demonstrate that the emission rate of single Er$^{3+}$ ions in a solid-state host can be enhanced by a factor of more than 300 using a small mode-volume, low-loss silicon nanophotonic cavity. This enhancement enables the fluorescence from single Er$^{3+}$ ions to be clearly observed for the first time. Tuning the excitation laser over a small frequency range allows dozens of distinct ions to be addressed, and the splitting of the lines in a magnetic field confirms that the optical transitions are coupled to the Er$^{3+}$ ions' spins. These results are a significant step towards long-distance quantum networks and deterministic quantum logic for photons, based on a scalable silicon nanophotonics architecture.

description: Excerpts from the Foreword: This bibliography is an amplification of a brief list of references prepared in the fall of 1927 for use in a course on the history of agriculture in the United States, taught in the graduate school of the United States Department of Agriculture. Only in the sections pertaining to agriculture in the strict sense of the word has an effort been made to list more than the main references. A few publications issued prior to 1900 and after 1929 are given, but only the literature printed during the intervening years has been carefully searched. No systematic attempt has been made to include pertinent items in publications of State departments of agriculture and in agricultural periodicals. The same is true of breed books and texts devoted primarily to agricultural methods. In conformity with general governmental policy, the annotations are elucidations of titles and descriptions rather than critical evaluations

description: Large software systems require decompositionalmechanisms in order tomake them tractable. Traditionally, MILs and IDLs have played this role by providing notations based on definition/ use bindings. In this paper we argue that current MIL/IDLs based on definition/use have some serious drawbacks. A significant problem is that they fail to distinguish between “implementation” and “interaction” relationships between modules. We propose an alternative model in which components interact along well-defined lines of communication – or connectors. Connectors are defined as protocols that capture the expected patterns of communication between modules. We show how this leads to a scheme that is much more expressive for architectural relationships, that allows the formal definition of module interaction, and that supports its own form of automated checks and formal reasoning.
