How To Survive Y2k Chaos In The City: A Preparedness and Self-Reliance Handbook
Authors: Ken Eirich, Nancy Eirich
Venue:  (1998)

:Several years ago we began our own research on the Y2k-Millennium Bug. At the very beginning we were hopeful "they" would find "the magic bullet" and everything would be okay. That hope was short-lived. As more documented information emerged we realized that we were at the threshold of the most potentially devastating, man-made disaster, ever experienced in history. A predictable disaster that is set to strike at - midnight, January 1, 2000 and within 24 hours, will to some degree or another, affect everyone in the world. As we began to consider the possible ramifications of Y2k to our lifestyle, we became increasingly convinced that we needed to prepare for, possibly, a worst case scenario - and do it now. But, where to begin? What should we prepare for? What if there was no electricity, no water, no heat? How would we keep warm? How would we eat? What would we eat? What should we store and how long would it last? What things, if forgotten, could be potentially devastating? How to Survive Y2k Chaos in the City tells you everything you need to know, to prepare for you and your family's survival in the city and suburbs. Some of the things you will learn from How to Survive Y2k Chaos in the City (A Preparedness and Self-Reliance Handbook) are: How to make sure the water you drink is safe. How to store enough water for all your needs. How to find, filter and treat water when the taps don't work. How to live without electricity and what you need for heat, light and cooking. How much fuel you need, storage and safety principles. How to protect your family from carbon monoxide poisoning and fire hazards. How to avoid the 10 most common mistakes made in food storage. Find out what to store, how much, how long it will last and how to keep it safe. How to prevent food poisoning and other life-threatening illnesses and safeguard your family. Learn how to use the food in your cupboards to make good and healthy meals. Use the complete checklists on "personal preparedness" to make sure every member of your family is "ready". Other checklists will help you "not forget" important items, your life may soon depend upon. How to grow enough food in your home and in small spaces to keep you alive. Learn the art of long-term fresh food storage. Find out how and what to use as barter items in the event it becomes the new economy. Learn how to substitute for items that may no longer be available on store shelves. There is also a comprehensive index for quick reference. And much, much more.
Video-Based Driver Assistance&mdash;From Basic Functions to Applications
Authors: Wilfried Enkelmann
Venue: International Journal of Computer Vision (2001)

Image sequences recorded with cameras mounted in a moving vehicle provide information about the vehicle's environment which has to be analysed in order to really support the driver in actual traffic situations. One type of information is the lane structure surrounding a vehicle. Therefore, we systematically developed and investigated driver assistance functions which make explicit use of the lane structure represented by lane borders and lane markings. With increasing computing power of standard PCs it was possible to realize more complex driver assistance with general purpose hardware. Investigations with a video-based lane departure warning system and a lane change assistant for highways will be discussed in detail.We integrated our lane keeping assistant in some experimental cars and performed systematic experiments in real traffic situations which enables the experience of video-based driver assistance on a high level&mdash;the action of a system. This allows us to assess whether a driver assistance system really understands the actual traffic situation which is the basis for reliable systems accepted by the user.

Energy-Scalable Protocols for Battery-Operated MicroSensor Networks
Authors: Alice Wang, Wendi B. Heinzelman, Amit Sinha, Anantha P. Chandrakasan
Venue: Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems (2001)

In wireless sensor networks, the goal is to gather information from a large number of sensor nodes and communicate the information to the end-user, all under the constraint of limited energy resources. Network protocols minimize energy by using localized communication and control and by exploiting computation/communication tradeoffs. In addition, data fusion algorithms such as beamforming aggregate data from multiple sources to reduce data redundancy and enhance signal-to-noise ratios, thus further reducing the required communications. We have developed a sensor network system that uses a localized clustering protocol and beamforming data fusion to enable energy-efficient collaboration. We compare the performance of two beamforming algorithms, the Maximum Power and the Least Mean Squares (LMS) beamforming algorithms, using the StrongARM SA-1100 processor. Results show that the LMS algorithm requires less than one-fifth the energy required by the Maximum Power beamforming algorithm with only a 3 dB loss in performance, thus showing that the LMS algorithm is better suited for energy-constrained systems. We explore the energy-scalability of the LMS algorithm, and we propose an energy-quality scalable architecture that incorporates techniques such as variable filter length, variable voltage supply and variable adaptation time.
Politics as Usual, 1st edition
Authors: Michael Margolis, David Resnick
Venue:  (2000)

:Cyberspace is no longer a mystery. It has become irrevocably intertwined with everyday life, facilitating everything from reading the news and paying the bills to ordering birthday presents. We are in the midst of a revolution in mass communication, and there now exists the technology for creating new forms of community, empowering citizens, and challenging existing power structures. But will such changes occur?In this fascinating book Michael Margolis and David Resnick ponder the effects of cyberspace on American politics. Our political system tends to normalize political activity, and thus, the Internet&rsquo;s vast potential could be lost, rendering it just another purveyor of ignored information. This broad examination begins with a history of cyberspace and moves through discussions of parties, political interest groups, candidates, mass media, information dissemination, and commercial uses of the Internet. Politics as Usual offers an innovative and exciting look into previously ignored aspects of the Internet and American politics.

Dependence graphs and compiler optimizations
Authors: D. J. Kuck, R. H. Kuhn, D. A. Padua, B. Leasure, M. Wolfe
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1981)

Dependence graphs can be used as a vehicle for formulating and implementing compiler optimizations. This paper defines such graphs and discusses two kinds of transformations. The first are simple rewriting transformations that remove dependence arcs. The second are abstraction transformations that deal more globally with a dependence graph. These transformations have been implemented and applied to several different types of high-speed architectures.

Parallel Variable Distribution for Constrained Optimization
Authors: C. A. Sagastizábal, M. V. Solodov
Venue: Computational Optimization and Applications (2002)

In the parallel variable distribution framework for solving optimization problems (PVD), the variables are distributed among parallel processors with each processor having the primary responsibility for updating its block of variables while allowing the remaining &ldquo;secondary&rdquo; variables to change in a restricted fashion along some easily computable directions. For constrained nonlinear programs convergence theory for PVD algorithms was previously available only for the case of convex feasible set. Additionally, one either had to assume that constraints are block-separable, or to use exact projected gradient directions for the change of secondary variables. In this paper, we propose two new variants of PVD for the constrained case. Without assuming convexity of constraints, but assuming block-separable structure, we show that PVD subproblems can be solved inexactly by solving their quadratic programming approximations. This extends PVD to nonconvex (separable) feasible sets, and provides a constructive practical way of solving the parallel subproblems. For inseparable constraints, but assuming convexity, we develop a PVD method based on suitable approximate projected gradient directions. The approximation criterion is based on a certain error bound result, and it is readily implementable. Using such approximate directions may be especially useful when the projection operation is computationally expensive.

Numerical Methods for the Einstein Equations in Null Quasi-Spherical Coordinates
Authors: Robert Bartnik, Andrew H. Norton
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

We describe algorithms used in our construction of a fourth-order in time evolution for the full Einstein equations and assess the accuracy of some representative solutions. The scheme employs several novel geometric and numerical techniques, including a geometrically invariant coordinate gauge, which leads to a characteristic-transport formulation of the underlying hyperbolic system, combined with a "method of lines" evolution; convolution splines for radial interpolation, regridding, differentiation, and noise suppression; representations using spin-weighted spherical harmonics; and a spectral preconditioner for solving a class of first-order elliptic systems on S2. Initial data for the evolution is unconstrained, subject only to a mild size condition. For sample initial data of "intermediate" strength (19% of the total mass in gravitational energy), the code is accurate to 1 part in 105, until null time z=55M when the coordinate condition breaks down.
