description: In Montero-Dorta et al. 2017, we show that luminous red galaxies (LRGs) from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) at $z\sim0.55$ can be divided into two groups based on their star formation histories. So-called fast-growing LRGs assemble $80\%$ of their stellar mass at $z\sim5$, whereas slow-growing LRGs reach the same evolutionary state at $z\sim1.5$. We further demonstrate that these two subpopulations present significantly different clustering properties on scales of $\sim1 - 30 \mathrm{Mpc}$. Here, we measure the mean halo mass of each subsample using the galaxy-galaxy lensing technique, in the $\sim190°^2$ overlap of the LRG catalogue and the CS82 and CFHTLenS shear catalogues. We show that fast- and slow-growing LRGs have similar lensing profiles, which implies that they live in haloes of similar mass: $\log\left(M_{\rm halo}^{\rm fast}/h^{-1}\mathrm{M}_{\odot}\right) = 12.85^{+0.16}_{-0.26}$ and $\log\left(M_{\rm halo}^{\rm slow}/h^{-1}\mathrm{M}_{\odot}\right) =12.92^{+0.16}_{-0.22}$. This result, combined with the clustering difference, suggests the existence of galaxy assembly bias, although the effect is too subtle to be definitively proven given the errors on our current weak-lensing measurement. We show that this can soon be achieved with upcoming surveys like DES.

description: This report describes current research within the software engineering community on the topic of interoperability between software systems. That research includes analyses of the different types of interoperability problems and issues and efforts to define models of interoperability that will aid in creating solutions to those problems. The report also describes work that is currently underway at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) in this area. That work originated in an independent research effort and now has grown into a separate technical initiative in the area of interoperability. The SEI initiative is currently focused on analyzing several aspects of interoperability: how it is manifest in different kinds of activities (i.e., programmatic vs. constructive vs. operational activities), the essential characteristics of interoperability, and the key principles on which solutions will depend.

description: El presente trabajo de grado analiza la responsabilidad civil y del Estado en la implementación de la liberación controlada de fármacos (nanopartículas), teniendo como base el escenario del riesgo tecnológico y científico, que causa incertidumbre acerca de sus efectos nocivos, como también el hecho de exceder el riesgo permitido. En tal sentido, se identifica los antecedentes y referentes teóricos en el uso y aplicación de la liberación controlada de fármacos; de igual manera, se contextualiza la teoría del riesgo y su incidencia en la responsabilidad como criterio de imputación, con el fin de determinar, si el principio de precaución o la responsabilidad por riesgo creado aplican en la liberación controlada de fármacos, estando dentro de la probabilidad de eximentes de responsabilidad, el riesgo de desarrollo y la responsabilidad por producto defectuoso. Para el mismo, se utilizó una revisión bibliográfica en diferentes bases de datos de la Universidad Externado de Colombia, utilizando el resumen analítico de libros, capítulos de libros y revistas científicas especializadas, como también doctrina y jurisprudencia colombiana. Lo anterior con la finalidad de determinar si el principio de precaución y la responsabilidad por riesgo, son aplicables en la liberación controlada de fármacos, como régimen objetivo.
description: This degree project analyzes civil and state liability in the implementation of the controlled release of drugs (nanoparticles), based on the technological and scientific risk scenario, which causes uncertainty about its harmful effects, as well as the fact that exceed the allowable risk. In this sense, the background and theoretical references in the use and application of the controlled release of drugs are identified; In the same way, the risk theory and its incidence in the responsibility are contextualized as imputation criteria, in order to determine if the precautionary principle or the responsibility for created risk apply in the controlled release of drugs, being within the Likelihood of Disclaimers, Development Risk, and Product Liability. For the same, a bibliographic review was used in different databases of the Externado de Colombia University, using the analytical summary of books, book chapters and specialized scientific journals, as well as Colombian doctrine and jurisprudence. The foregoing in order to determine if the precautionary principle and responsibility for risk are applicable in the controlled release of drugs, as an objective regimen.

Subjects: subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)

description: Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring of field of fractions $K$ and of residue field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$.
 In an earlier work, we studied the question of extending torsors on $K$-curves into torsors over $R$-regular models of the curves in the case when the structural $K$-group scheme of the torsor admits a finite flat model over $R$. In this paper, we first give a simpler description of the problem in the case where the curve is semistable. Secondly, if $R$ is assumed to be Henselian and Japanese, we solve the problem of extending torsors even if the structural group does not admit a finite flat $R$-model.

Los museos, deben dialogar más con sus públicos e investigar acerca de las diferentes comunidades digitales que comparten intereses y objetivos misionales, ya no solo como instituciones sociales y comunicativas, sino como sujetos sociales que convocan, dialogan y proponen conjuntamente con los usuarios activos. Las comunidades digitales del presente estudio, Quito de aldea a ciudad y Cita con la Memoria, discuten y promueven la recuperación de la memoria urbana, a partir de la imagen fotográfica, en los espacios digitales en línea, como Facebook y Youtube.

Digital communication resignifies and disseminates the different contents on its screens; promotes the participation and conversation of and among its audiences, configured in communities of multiple intelligences and in connection (Rheingold, 2004; De Kerckhove, 1999), a constitutive element of cyberculture (Lèvy, 2007), which is based on active participation of users, as knowledge managers. Museums must dialogue more with their audiences and investigate the different digital communities that share interests and mission objectives, not only as social and communicative institutions, but as social subjects that convene, dialogue and propose together with active users. The digital communities of this study, Quito from village to city and Cita con la Memoria, discuss and promote the recovery of urban memory, from the photographic image, in online digital spaces, such as Facebook and YouTube.

description: Component containers are a key part of mainstream component technologies, and play an important role in separating nonfunctional concerns from the core component logic. This paper addresses two different aspects of containers. First, it shows how generative programming techniques, using AspectC++ and metaprogramming, can be used to generate stubs and skeletons without the need for special compilers or interface description languages. Second, the paper describes an approach to create custom containers by composing different non-functional features. Unlike component technologies such as EJB, which only support a predefined set of container types, this approach allows different combinations of non-functional features to be composed in a container to meet the application needs.

description: The common idea behind complexity reduction in physical systems is separation of information into "physically meaningful" and "safely ignorable". Here we consider a generic notion of such separation -- implemented by coarse-graining the state-space -- and address the question of what information is indeed safely ignorable if we want to reduce the complexity of dynamics. The general condition for reducibility of dynamics under coarse-graining will be presented for stochastic and quantum systems. In the process we develop the quantum notion of state-space coarse-graining that allows to marginalize selected degrees of freedom. One of our main findings is that there is a broader class of symmetries, beyond those that are considered by Noether's Theorem, that can play a role in the reduction of dynamics. Some examples of quantum coarse-grainings and the reduction of dynamics with symmetries will be discussed.

A Matter of Life or Death: a review of the evidence supporting an association between social capital and rates of suicide in Canadian Inuit communities
Creators: name: Kemp, Beverly

description: Canadian Inuit include ~55,000 inhabitants in parts of Labrador, Quebec, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories. The rate of suicide in these communities is 135 for every 100 000 individuals - 12 times the Canadian average and one of the highest in the world.1 This structured review explores the existing evidence supporting an association between social capital and rates of suicide amongst Canadian Inuit. Initially, a search strategy was developed using the terms “suicide”, and “Inuit” in the PubMed (Medline), Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The final search procured nine relevant references. The research emphasizes suicide as a stressor within Inuit population. Social capital contributes to risk factors including, unemployment, being single, legal problems, abuse history, and a record of mental illness. The mean age of suicide is 23.41 with 82.5% being male2. Within individuals 15-24, 45% have had suicidal thoughts in their lifetime, and 15% had attempted suicide in the past year3. Those experiencing the “good life” (family and traditional culture) report higher levels of social support – a protective factor for suicide. Canada is entering a collaborative relationship with Inuit to prioritize resilience, empowerment, and suicide prevention. Crisis lines have been implemented to resolve immediate distress, while other Inuit led programs have the potential as long term solutions. This inquiry allows for a better grasp of suicidal behavior, rationale, and the emerging trajectory of suicide prevention.

description: Forests play a key role in the mitigation of global warming and provide many other vital ecosystem goods and services. However, as forest continues to vanish at an alarming rate from the surface of the planet, the world desperately needs knowledge on what contributes to forest preservation and restoration. Migration, a hallmark of globalization, is widely recognized as a main driver of forest recovery and poverty alleviation. Here, we show that remittance from migrants reinforces forest recovery that would otherwise be unlikely with mere migration, realizing the additionality of payments for ecosystem services for China’s largest reforestation policy, the Conversion of Cropland to Forest Program (CCFP). Guided by the framework that integrates telecoupling and coupled natural and human systems, we investigate forest-livelihood dynamics under the CCFP through the lens of rural out-migration and remittance using both satellite remote sensing imagery and household survey data in two representative sites of rural China. Results show that payments from the CCFP significantly increases the probability of sending remittance by out-migrants to their origin households. We observe substantial forest regeneration and greening surrounding households receiving remittance but forest decline and browning in proximity to households with migrants but not receiving remittance, as measured by forest coverage and the Enhanced Vegetation Index derived from space-borne remotely sensed data. The primary mechanism is that remittance reduces the reliance of households on natural capital from forests, particularly fuelwood, allowing forests near the households to recover. The shares of the estimated ecological and economic additionality induced by remittance are 2.0% (1.4%∼3.8%) and 9.7% (5.0%∼15.2%), respectively, to the baseline of the reforested areas enrolled in CCFP and the payments received by the participating households. Remittance-facilitated forest regeneration amounts to 12.7% (6.0%∼18.0%) of the total new forest gained during the 2003–2013 in China. Our results demonstrate that remittance constitutes a telecoupling mechanism between rural areas and cities over long distances, influencing the local social-ecological gains that the forest policy intended to stimulate. Thus, supporting remittance-sending migrants in cities can be an effective global warming mitigation strategy.
Stochastic Homogenization for Reaction-Diffusion Equations

description: In the present paper we study stochastic homogenization for reaction-diffusion equations with stationary ergodic reactions. We first show that under suitable hypotheses, initially localized solutions to the PDE asymptotically become approximate characteristic functions of a ballistically expanding Wulff shape. The next crucial component is the proper definition of relevant front speeds and subsequent establishment of their existence. We achieve the latter by finding a new relation between the front speeds and the Wulff shape, provided the Wulff shape does not have corners. Once front speeds are proved to exist in all directions, by the above means or otherwise, we are able to obtain general stochastic homogenization results, showing that large space-time evolution of solutions to the PDE is governed by a simple deterministic Hamilton-Jacobi equation whose Hamiltonian is given by these front speeds. We primarily consider the case of non-negative reactions but we also extend our results to the more general PDE $u_{t}= F(D^2 u,\nabla u,u,x,ω)$ as long as its solutions satisfy some basic hypotheses including positive lower and upper bounds on spreading speeds in all directions and a sub-ballistic bound on the width of the transition zone between the two equilibria of the PDE.

description: Relativistic energy shifts of the low energy levels of Fe have been calculated using the Dirac-Hartree-Fock and configuration interaction techniques. The results are to be used in the search for the space-time variation of the fine structure constant in quasar absorption spectra. The values of the shifts are the largest among those used in the analysis so far. This makes Fe a good candidate for the inclusion into the analysis.

description: Buffer overflows continue to be the source of a vast majority of software vulnerabilities. Solutions based on runtime checks incur performance overhead, and are inappropriate for safety-critical and mission-critical systems requiring static—that is, prior to deployment—guarantees. Thus, finding overflows statically and effectively remains an important challenge. This report presents COVERT, an automated application framework aimed at finding buffer overflows in C programs using state-of-the-art software verification tools and techniques. Broadly, COVERT works in two phases: INSTRUMENTATION and ANALYSIS. The INSTRUMENTATION phase is the core phase of COVERT. During INSTRUMENTATION, the target C program is instrumented such that buffer overflows are transformed to assertion violations. In the ANALYSIS phase, a static software verification tool is used to check for assertion violations in the instrumented code, and to generate error reports. COVERT was implemented and then evaluated on a set of benchmarks derived from real programs. For the ANALYSIS phase, experiments were conducted with three software verification tools—BLAST, COPPER, and PANA. Results indicate that the COVERT framework is effective in reducing the number of false warnings, while remaining scalable.

description: We study the anisotropic neutrino emission from the core of neutron stars induced by the star's magnetic field. We model the core as made out of a magnetized ideal gas of strange quark matter and implement the conditions for stellar equilibrium in this environment. The calculation is performed without resorting to analytical simplifications and for temperature, density and magnetic field values corresponding to typical conditions for a neutron star's evolution. The anisotropic neutrino emission produces a rocket effect that contributes to the star's kick velocity. We find that the computed values for the kick velocity lie within the range of the observed values, reaching velocities of the order of $\sim1000$ km s$^{-1}$ for magnetic fields between $10^{15}-10^{18}$ G and radii of 20 to 5 km, respectively.

Persuading the World of Genocide : Locating and Protecting the Foundational Rhetoric of the United Nations Genocide Convention

description: Raphael Lemkin’s neologism, genocide, coined in 1944 to describe the ‘crime of crimes’, was introduced to the world in the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in 1948. While the crime is thought to be almost as old as humanity itself, the events of the 20th century have provided too many examples from which the international community cannot turn away.

The Convention’s definition of genocide and the elements which constitute the crime are contained within its foundational rhetoric, which—as the adjective suggests—is the layer that supports the entire edifice. The Convention is a source of law in the matter of genocide and its drafters urged that it be adopted into the domestic law of the contracting parties. The definition of genocide has not escaped criticism from numerous quarters, however, and the calls for its radical amendment (or even complete replacement) are always energetic and sometimes strident. To date the definition has remained unamended, despite the calls for change.

In part, the Convention’s relative success at international law is attributable to the capacity of courts and tribunals to interpret the foundational rhetoric in such a way as to align fact matrices with the definition and elements and to achieve a just outcome. Not everything decried as ‘genocide’ rises to meet the definition: on occasion, the serious categories of war crimes and crimes against humanity provide the means by which a charge is prosecuted and defended at law.

This thesis argues that the Convention possesses a ‘stable instability’ in its foundational rhetoric, especially at Article II. The many calls for amendment—some of which are considered in this study—have thus far failed to persuade the United Nations to amend its own document. Some domestic iterations of the Convention have made their own, sometimes idiosyncratic, amendments, and these have passed into law with curious results. ‘Genocide’ has passed into vernacular usage, a result of which is often-confused application divorced from its source; it becomes a blunt instrument of contempt and abuse. The Convention and its faithful reproductions provide a forensic instrument to be employed with precision and restraint, not a popular label controlled only by outrage. This thesis proposes that the Convention’s foundational rhetoric is robust and resilient, productive of just outcomes in the hands of those who wield it with due care and caution.

description: Background: Observed activity of metformin in reducing the risk of severe COVID-19 suggests a potential use of the anti-hyperglycemic in the prevention of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). We assessed the 3-month and 6-month risk of PASC among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) comparing metformin users to sulfonylureas (SU) or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) users. Methods: We used de-identified patient level electronic health record data from the National Covid Cohort Collaborative (N3C) between October 2021 and April 2023. Participants were adults ≥ 18 years with T2DM who had at least one outpatient healthcare encounter in health institutions in the United States prior to COVID-19 diagnosis. The outcome of PASC was defined based on the presence of a diagnosis code for the illness or using a predicted probability based on a machine learning algorithm. We estimated the 3-month and 6-month risk of PASC and calculated crude and weighted risk ratios (RR), risk differences (RD), and differences in mean predicted probability. Results: We identified 5596 (mean age: 61.1 years; SD: 12.6) and 1451 (mean age: 64.9 years; SD 12.5) eligible prevalent users of metformin and SU/DPP4i respectively. We did not find a significant difference in risk of PASC at 3 months (RR = 0.86 [0.56; 1.32], RD = −3.06 per 1000 [−12.14; 6.01]), or at 6 months (RR = 0.81 [0.55; 1.20], RD = −4.91 per 1000 [−14.75, 4.93]) comparing prevalent users of metformin to prevalent users of SU/ DPP4i. Similar observations were made for the outcome definition using the ML algorithm. Conclusion: The observed estimates in our study are consistent with a reduced risk of PASC among prevalent users of metformin, however the uncertainty of our confidence intervals warrants cautious interpretations of the results. A standardized clinical definition of PASC is warranted for thorough evaluation of the effectiveness of therapies under assessment for the prevention of PASC.

description: The acquisition community needs guidance in long-term management planning for selecting, approving, and upgrading software products, especially commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and other reusable software products. As the mixture of these components in systems increases, the demand for a planned way to manage them continues to grow. The COTS and Reusable Software Management Plan (CRSMP) can facilitate acquisition programs' management of COTS and other reusable software products. The CRSMP provides a strategy outline for managing data about component licensing, tracking release schedules, monitoring software interdependencies, choosing specific features and extensions and documenting those choices, and evaluating and mitigating risks associated with deploying COTS and other re-usable software components in a system. The CRSMP presented in this report can serve as a guide for how to manage multiple COTS and other reusable software components in complex systems.

description: There is considerable interest in studying the impact of major life events (e.g., marriage, job loss) on people’s lives. This line of research is inherently causal: Its goal is to study whether life events cause changes in the examined outcomes. However, because major life events cannot be randomly assigned, studies in this area necessarily rely on longitudinal observational data. In this article, we provide guidelines for researchers interested in studying life events in an explicitly causal framework. Although focused on life-event studies for substantive context, many recommendations also apply to longitudinal observational studies more broadly. We begin by emphasizing the importance of clearly specifying the causal estimand and describe conditions in which the defined causal estimand can be identified. Then, we discuss the features and challenges of the two main analytical approaches to causal inference in life-event studies: difference-in-difference designs with a (matched) comparison group that attempt to separate event-related changes from normative changes and within-person designs that control for all time-invariant person-level confounders. We describe how the desired causal effect can be estimated in these designs and provide recommendations for when to apply each modeling strategy. In addition, we present methods for conducting sensitivity analysis, probing the robustness of the estimated causal effects, and evaluating the generalizability of the results. We conclude by describing how new specialized panel studies can be designed to examine the impact of various life events in more controlled settings.

description: We present an exact ground state solution of a quantum dimer model introduced in Ref.[1], which features ordinary bosonic spin-singlet dimers as well as fermionic dimers that can be viewed as bound states of spinons and holons in a hole-doped resonating valence bond liquid. Interestingly, this model captures several essential properties of the metallic pseudogap phase in high-$T_c$ cuprate superconductors. We identify a line in parameter space where the exact ground state wave functions can be constructed at an arbitrary density of fermionic dimers. At this exactly solvable line the ground state has a huge degeneracy, which can be interpreted as a flat band of fermionic excitations. Perturbing around the exactly solvable line, this degeneracy is lifted and the ground state is a fractionalized Fermi liquid with a small pocket Fermi surface in the low doping limit.

description: Coronaviruses have caused three severe epidemics since the start of the 21st century: SARS, MERS and COVID-19. The severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and increasing likelihood of future coronavirus outbreaks motivates greater understanding of factors leading to severe coronavirus disease. We screened ten strains from the Collaborative Cross mouse genetic reference panel and identified strains CC006/TauUnc (CC006) and CC044/Unc (CC044) as coronavirus-susceptible and resistant, respectively, as indicated by variable weight loss and lung congestion scores four days post-infection. We generated a genetic mapping population of 755 CC006xCC044 F2 mice and exposed the mice to one of three genetically distinct mouse-adapted coronaviruses: clade 1a SARS-CoV MA15 (n=391), clade 1b SARS-CoV-2 MA10 (n=274), and clade 2 HKU3-CoV MA (n=90). Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping in SARS-CoV MA15- and SARS-CoV-2 MA10-infected F2 mice identified genetic loci associated with disease severity. Specifically, we identified seven loci associated with variation in outcome following infection with either virus, including one, HrS43, that is present in both groups. Three of these QTL, including HrS43, were also associated with HKU3-CoV MA outcome. HrS43 overlaps with a QTL previously reported by our lab that is associated with SARS-CoV MA15 outcome in CC011xCC074 F2 mice and is also syntenic with a human chromosomal region associated with severe COVID-19 outcomes in humans GWAS. The results reported here provide: (a) additional support for the involvement of this locus in SARS-CoV MA15 infection, (b) the first conclusive evidence that this locus is associated with susceptibility across the Sarbecovirus subgenus, and (c) demonstration of the relevance of mouse models in the study of coronavirus disease susceptibility in humans.

description: We examine diquark fluctuations and chiral soft modes existing in the precritical region of color superconductivity and chiral transition, respectively, at finite temperature and density. We evaluate how they contribute to anomalous di-lepton production; although there appear peaks in the spectral function owing to the existence of the soft modes, the enhancement of the production rate may not be so prominent to be a clear signal of the phsase transitions.

description: Spin systems with frustrated anisotropic interactions are of significant interest due to possible exotic ground states. We have explored their phase diagram on a nearest-neighbor triangular lattice using the density-matrix renormalization group and mapped out the topography of the region that can harbor a spin liquid. We find that this spin-liquid phase is continuously connected to a previously discovered spin-liquid phase of the isotropic $J_1\!-\!J_2$ model. The two limits show nearly identical spin correlations, making the case that their respective spin liquids are isomorphic to each other.

description: Torsional oscillations of a free-standing semiconductor beam are shown to cause spin-dependent oscillating potentials that spin-polarize an applied charge current in the presence of intentional or disorder scattering potentials. We propose several realizations of mechanical spin generators and manipulators based on this piezo-spintronic effect.

Shape dependence of resistance force exerted on an obstacle placed in a gravity-driven granular silo flow

description: Resistance force exerted on an obstacle in a gravity-driven slow granular silo flow is studied by experiments and numerical simulations. In a two-dimensional granular silo, an obstacle is placed just above the exit. Then, steady discharge flow is made and its flow rate can be controlled by the width of exit and the position of obstacle. During the discharge of particles, flow rate and resistance force exerting on the obstacle are measured. Using the obtained data, a dimensionless number characterizing the force balance in granular flow is defined by the relation between the discharge flow rate and resistance-force decreasing rate. The dimensionless number is independent of flow rate. Rather, we find the weak shape dependence of the dimensionless number. This tendency is a unique feature for the resistance force in granular silo flow. It characterizes the effective flow width interacting with the obstacle in granular silo flow.

description: This paper reflects a successful effort to apply commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based engineering principles to a software acquisition by the Financial and Business Services (FABS) and Information Technology (IT) departments at the Software Engineering Institute. The team responsible for the execution of the project was guided by the principles taught in the COTS-Based Systems for Program Managers and COTS Software Evaluation for Practitioners training programs conducted by the COTS-Based Systems Initiative at the Software Engineering Institute. Some of the major expectations set and realized included precise comprehension of requirements and preferences, ability to identify weak links in the proposed solutions, support for the "buy versus build" decision and the product recommendation, the promise of a shorter implementation phase, and brimming confidence based on a well-informed project approach.
Le capital social comme déterminant social de la santé mentale au Canada

description: Compte tenu l’importance d’assurer une intégration saine au Canada pour les immigrants, nous proposons une étude sur les déterminants sociaux de la santé dans la population immigrante issue de minorités visibles. Plus spécifiquement, nous voulons approfondir les connaissances sur le capital social comme déterminant de la santé mentale. Peu de recherches ont été effectuées en utilisant un grand nombre d’indicateurs du capital social et les déterminants de la santé mentale. Cette recherche quantitative vise à combler cette lacune en utilisant plusieurs formes du capital social afin de répondre aux questions suivantes: quels sont les effets des formes du capital social sur la santé mentale? Est-ce que le niveau de capital social est un facteur qui diminue le risque d’avoir une mauvaise santé mentale? Comment cette relation se présente-t-elle en tenant compte de plusieurs autres déterminants de la santé? L'étude actuelle a révélé qu’avoir un haut niveau de certaines formes du capital social diminue le risque de mauvaise santé mentale et cela même après l’inclusion de plusieurs variables de contrôle. De plus, la grande majorité des déterminants de la santé ont une relation significative avec la santé mentale, sauf le groupe ethnique. Ces résultats mettent en évidence le rôle du capital social dans la santé mentale. Il faudrait approfondir les recherches sur les sources du capital social dans les communautés. Ce faisant, il serait possible de mettre en place des interventions au niveau communautaire qui sera mieux en mesure de prévenir les problèmes de santé mentale des immigrants récents au Canada et plus généralement de maintenir un haut niveau de santé mentale pour la population canadienne.
Control Integration Through Message Passing in a Software Development Environment

description: Understanding tool integration in a Software Development Environment (SDE) is one of the key issues being addressed in current work on providing automated support for large-scale software production. Work has been taking place at both the conceptual level ("What is integration?") and the mechanistic level ("How do we provide integration?"). Many people see the answers to these questions as providing the cornerstone of real progress in the area. Until recently, existing integration mechanisms have been very rigid in the support for integration that they provide. Users have been offered a fixed level of integration with little flexibility. However, one approach that has been recently implemented employs a control integration paradigm that appears to be flexible, supportive, and adaptable to a wide range of end-user needs. Implementations of this paradigm are based on the notion of "message passing" as the underlying communication mechanism between SDE services.
