SpringFlow: a digital spring-sign
Authors: Charlotte Axelsson, Eva Eriksson, Daniel Lindros, Marie Mattsson
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

We present SpringFlow, a digital Spring-sign, which, from February to May, changes its characteristics to indicate how far gone spring is. With the aid of our Spring-sign, you navigate through time just like you would with a calendar. Its construction resembles a hollow ball, while the appearance of it depends on the users interactions. By tilting it, changes in sound, light, heat and cold will be produced. Based upon prior work in ubiquitous computing, SpringFlow incorporates old techniques to create something new. This paper describes the components, interaction, implementation, conceptual approach, but most of all the aesthetics

A Stochastic Jurdjevic--Quinn Theorem
Authors: Patrick Florchinger
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

The purpose of this paper is to state sufficient conditions for the stabilizability of stochastic differential systems when both the drift and diffusion terms are affine in the control. This result extends to stochastic differential systems the well-known theorem of Jurdjevic--Quinn [J. Differential Equations, 28 (1978), pp. 381--389] and incorporates earlier stabilization results proved in [P. Florchinger, Stochastic Anal. Appl., 12 (1994), pp. 473--480] and [R. Chabour and M. Oumoun, Stochastic Anal. Appl., 16 (1998), pp. 43--50].

Insanely Great: The Life and Times of MacIntosh, the Computer That Changed Everything
Authors: Steven Levy
Venue:  (2000)

:The Story Behind the Macintosh Computer INSANELY GREAT: THE LIFE & TIMES OF MACINTOSH covers the research and development that led to the first 128K Mac and the struggles involved to make the continued evolution of the Macintosh possible. Predecessors of the Mac and ideas that made their way into the first computer with a smiling start-up screen are discussed in loving detail (the author is a big fan of the Macintosh) -- the mouse, icons and other discoveries that revolutionized the way people work with computers. Along the way, the reader gets a sense of the people who contributed to the various Macintosh teams: Steve Jobs, with his "reality-distortion field" that prodded the team to create the near-impossible; John Sculley, the former Pepsi CEO brought in to facilitate the growing up of the Apple company; and many other key members of the Macintosh teams including Bill Atkinson, the genius behind MacPaint and later, HyperCard. As it turns out, Bill Atkinson did not originally plan for a menu bar on top of the screen. It sort of migrated upward, like cream rising to the top. Atkinson wanted the commands to be geographically predictable, the same place in every application. For that reason, he rejected pop-up windows [as had been used in Xerox's PARC computers]. Then he got the idea of a menu bar -- a constant presence from which one could evoke a menu of commands by pointing and clicking. At first he put the bar at the bottom of the active window, then after some testing moved it to the top. But putting the menu bar on top of a window presented a problem: when the user shrank the size of the window, you couldn't get the headings to fit. (Microsoft's Windows uses this approach, and suffers by it.) So finally, at [user-testing fanatic Larry] Tesler's urging, he moved it to the top of the screen. Users quickly learned where the commands were under the individual headings. Atkinson was impressed that they could implicitly visualize where a command might "live" on the screen, moving the mouse over the heading, dropping down the menu and going right to the location in one fell swoop. It was a case of totally internalizing the illusion of geography in cyberspace -- you would "go" to a menu choice that didn't really exist until you created it. Steven Levy's INSANELY GREAT isn't only the chronicle of a single machine; it's a chapter in the story of the personal computer's ongoing evolution. Readers who may have never used a computer without icons or a trash can (or Recycle Bin) may want to learn how the Macintosh made the computers and operating systems that followed its introduction were made possible.

System Synthesis with VHDL: A Transformational Approach
Authors: Petru Eles, Krzysztof Kuchcinski, Zebo Peng
Venue:  (1998)

:This book addresses the two most active research areas of design automation today: high-level synthesis and system-level synthesis. In particular, a transformational approach to synthesis from VHDL specifications is described. System Synthesis with VHDL provides a coherent view of system synthesis which includes the high-level and the system-level synthesis tasks. VHDL is used as a specification language and several issues concerning the use of VHDL for high-level and system-level synthesis are discussed. These include aspects from the compilation of VHDL into an internal design representation to the synthesis of systems specified as interacting VHDL processes. System Synthesis with VHDL can be used for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in the area of design automation and, more specifically, of high-level and system-level synthesis. At the same time the book is intended for CAD developers and researchers as well as industrial designers of digital systems who are interested in new algorithms and techniques supporting modern design tools and methodologies.

When the Windows 2000 network is in place,you will no longer need this server as a Domain Controller,but you still want this server to be available for network file storage. Which of the following will you do? A. Before upgrading to Windows 2000 Server,demote the Domain Controller. B. Before upgrading to Windows 2000 Server,run DCPROMO to demote the Domain Controller. C. Upgrade the Windows NT Server to Windows 2000 Server,and then run WINMSD to demote the Domain Controller. D. Upgrade the Windows NT Server to Windows 2000 Server,and then run DCPROMO to demote the Domain Controller. D. Upgrade the Windows NT Server to Windows 2000 Server,and then run DCPROMO to demote the Domain Controller. When inventorying servers,you should consider the role servers will play in the Windows 2000 Active Directory network. DCPROMO is a wizard in Windows 2000 that allows you to promote servers to be Domain Controllers or demote Domain Controllers back to servers. A is incorrect because once you make a Windows NT Server a Domain Controller you cannot change it from that role without reinstalling the operating system. B is incorrect because DCPROMO is a tool available only with Windows 2000 Server. You need to upgrade the server to Windows 2000 before using it. C is incorrect,because WINMSD is a tool that allows you to view current hardware configuration,but it has nothing to do with the promotion or demotion of servers and Domain Controllers.

The Discrete First-Order System Least Squares: The Second-Order Elliptic Boundary Value Problem
Authors: Zhiqiang Cai, Byeong Chun Shin
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

In [Z. Cai, T. Manteuffel, and S. F. McCormick, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 34 (1997), pp. 425--454], an L2-norm version of first-order system least squares (FOSLS) was developed for scalar second-order elliptic partial differential equations. A limitation of this approach is the requirement of sufficient smoothness of the original problem, which is used for the equivalence of spaces between (H1)d and $H(\div)\cap H({\rm curl})$-type, where d=2 or 3 is the dimension. By directly approximating $H(\div)\cap H({\rm curl})$-type space based on the Helmholtz decomposition, this paper develops a discrete FOSLS approach in two dimensions. Under general assumptions, we establish error estimates in the L2 and H1 norms for the vector and scalar variables, respectively. Such error estimates are optimal with respect to the required regularity of the solution. A preconditioner for the algebraic system arising from this approach is also considered.

Optimal object descriptor caching in temporal object database systems
Authors: Kjetil Nørvåg, Kjell Bratbergsengen
Venue: Information organization and databases: foundations of data organization (2000)

In object database systems (ODBs) with logical OIDs, an OID index (OIDX) is needed to map from OID to the physical location of the object. In a transaction-time temporal ODB, the OIDX should also index the object versions. In this case, the index entries, which we call object descriptors (OD), also include the commit timestamp of the transaction that created the object version. In this chapter, we present an analytical model for OIDX access costs and optimal use of the memory for buffering index pages and ODs, with different access patterns.
