Looking Good on Paper: How to Create Eye-Catching Reports, Proposals, Memos, and Other Business Documents
Authors: Garrett Soden
Venue:  (1995)

UNLIKE VIRTUALLY ALL OTHER BOOKS ABOUT GRAPHICS, Soden's Looking Good on Paper doesn't teach design as a way to enhance a publication's aesthetic appeal, but as a practical method for improving the effectiveness of everyday business communication. The genesis of the book came from Soden's own experience as a designer. During his time as Art Director for Occidental College, Soden had found that his interns, although typically art majors, had never been taught the principles of publication design that directly influence communication; principles that working designers learned through apprenticeship or culled from technical books on typography and printing. Research revealed that there existed no book that concisely summarized these principles, and so Soden found he had to teach them anew every year. With the advent of desktop publishing and word processors, Soden realized that the principles he taught could be used as a powerful set of guidelines to improve business documents. He chose as his model a paragon of clarity, Strunk and White's Elements of Style. Similar to the way Elements codifies the principles of effective composition, Looking Good on Paper distills the basics of visual communication into 36 straightforward commandments. Also like Elements, Soden's book provides both general prescriptions and specific rules. The key to Soden's general instruction is his concept of presenting readers with a "Hierarchy of Attention." Principles in this section include Show what deserves first attention, second attention, and so forth; Create only the number of visually distinct levels you need; Make similar items look similar; and Organize your material into simple shapes. Specific rules that ensure readability include Don't use several different fonts in one document; Set your font size and margins so that between thirty and ninety characters fit on each line; Don't justify narrow columns; and Reduce the letterspace, word space, and line space when you use larger fonts. The book also includes an introductory section that guides readers on how to approach putting a message in printed form, with principles such as Know your message, Know your audience, Choose an effective form, Aim for a response, and Put your taste in the background. Illustrations on nearly every page, including many "before and after" examples, show readers exactly how to apply the principles. An excerpt from Looking Good on Paper appeared in the professional journal Before and After, and the book was translated and published in Italy by the distinguished publisher FrancoAngeli.

Digital Instrumentation and Control Systems in Nuclear Power Plants: Safety and Reliability Issues
Authors: National Research Council
Venue:  (1997)

:The nuclear industry and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) have been working for several years on development of an adequate process to guide the replacement of aging analog monitoring and control instrumentation in nuclear power plants with modern digital instrumentation, without introducing off-setting safety problems. This final report of a two-phased study identifies criteria for the USNRC's review and acceptance of digital applications in nuclear power plants. The book focuses on eight areas: software, quality assurance, common-mode software failure potential, systems aspects of digital instrumentation and control technology, human factors and human-machine interfaces, safety and reliability assessment methods, dedication of commercial off-the-shelf hardware and software, the case-by-case licensing process, and adequacy of technical infrastructure.

Intuitionistic Light Affine Logic
Authors: Andrea Asperti, Luca Roversi
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computational Logic (TOCL) (2002)

This article is a structured introduction to Intuitionistic Light Affine Logic (ILAL). ILAL has a polynomially costing normalization, and it is expressive enough to encode, and simulate, all PolyTime Turing machines. The bound on the normalization cost is proved by introducing the proof-nets for ILAL. The bound follows from a suitable normalization strategy that exploits structural properties of the proof-nets. This allows us to have a good understanding of the meaning of the &sect; modality, which is a peculiarity of light logics. The expressive power of ILAL is demonstrated in full detail. Such a proof gives a hint of the nontrivial task of programming with resource limitations, using ILAL derivations as programs.

Experimental comparisons of online and batch versions of bagging and boosting
Authors: Nikunj C. Oza, Stuart Russell
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

Bagging and boosting are well-known ensemble learning methods. They combine multiple learned base models with the aim of improving generalization performance. To date, they have been used primarily in batch mode, i.e., they require multiple passes through the training data. In previous work, we presented online bagging and boosting algorithms that only require one pass through the training data and presented experimental results on some relatively small datasets. Through additional experiments on a variety of larger synthetic and real datasets, this paper demonstrates that our online versions perform comparably to their batch counterparts in terms of classification accuracy. We also demonstrate the substantial reduction in running time we obtain with our online algorithms because they require fewer passes through the training data.

Building a robust software-based router using network processors
Authors: Tammo Spalink, Scott Karlin, Larry Peterson, Yitzchak Gottlieb
Venue: Proceedings of the eighteenth ACM symposium on Operating systems principles (2001)

Recent efforts to add new services to the Internet have increased interest in software-based routers that are easy to extend and evolve. This paper describes our experiences using emerging network processors---in particular, the Intel IXP1200---to implement a router. We show it is possible to combine an IXP1200 development board and a PC to build an inexpensive router that forwards minimum-sized packets at a rate of 3.47Mpps. This is nearly an order of magnitude faster than existing pure PC-based routers, and sufficient to support 1.77Gbps of aggregate link bandwidth. At lesser aggregate line speeds, our design also allows the excess resources available on the IXP1200 to be used robustly for extra packet processing. For example, with 8 &times; 100Mbps links, 240 register operations and 96 bytes of state storage are available for each 64-byte packet. Using a hierarchical architecture we can guarantee line-speed forwarding rates for simple packets with the IXP1200, and still have extra capacity to process exceptional packets with the Pentium. Up to 310Kpps of the traffic can be routed through the Pentium to receive 1510 cycles of extra per-packet processing.
Regular Gr&ouml;bner bases
Authors: Jonas Månsson, Patrik Nordbeck
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2002)

In this paper we introduce the concept of bi-automaton algebras, generalizing the automaton algebras previously defined by Ufnarovski. A bi-automaton algebra is a quotient of the free algebra, defined by a binomial ideal admitting a Grbner basis which can be encoded as a regular set; we call such a Grbner basis regular. We give several examples of bi-automaton algebras, and show how automata connected to regular Grbner bases can be used to perform reduction. Copyright 2002 Academic Press
