Creating models of truss structures with optimization
Authors: Jeffrey Smith, Jessica Hodgins, Irving Oppenheim, Andrew Witkin
Venue: ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) (2002)

We present a method for designing truss structures, a common and complex category of buildings, using non-linear optimization. Truss structures are ubiquitous in the industrialized world, appearing as bridges, towers, roof supports and building exoskeletons, yet are complex enough that modeling them by hand is time consuming and tedious. We represent trusses as a set of rigid bars connected by pin joints, which may change location during optimization. By including the location of the joints as well as the strength of individual beams in our design variables, we can simultaneously optimize the geometry and the mass of structures. We present the details of our technique together with examples illustrating its use, including comparisons with real structures.
Dot-depth, monadic quantifier alternation, and first-order closure over grids and pictures
Authors: Oliver Matz
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

This paper presents results from two different areas. The first area is monadic second-order logic (MSO) over finite structures, in particular over the so-called grids. These are structures whose elements can be arranged as a matrix and which have two binary relations corresponding to vertical and horizontal successors. For this logic, we study the expressive power of the alternation of existential and universal monadic second-order quantifiers, i.e., set quantifiers. In Matz et al. (Information and Computation, LICS' 97, 1999, to appear) it had been shown that these alternations cannot be limited to a fixed number without loss of expressiveness. In this paper, we strengthen this result in several ways. Firstly, we show that there are MSO formulas that have a very restricted form of k+1 set quantifiers but are not equivalent to a formula with k quantifiers. Secondly, we show that if we fix the number of such alternations, the expressive power of formulas that start with a block of universal quantifiers differs from the power of those that start with an existential one this was previously known only for coloured grids. Thirdly, we investigate how an additional prefix of first-order (i.e., element) quantifiers influences the expressive power of MSO formulas. The second area that this paper is concerned with is two-dimensional formal language theory. We study how the alternation of (first- and monadic second-order) quantifications, on the one hand, relates to the dot-depth measure of two-dimensional (i.e., picture) languages, on the other hand. That measure is the two-dimensional version of the classical notion of dot-depth for (one-dimensional) starfree word languages. We show that the hierarchy induced by this dot-depth cuts through the hierarchy given by monadic second-order quantifications. In particular, beyond each level of the monadic second-order alternation hierarchy, there is a starfree picture language.

Constraint-based mode analysis of mercury
Authors: David Overton, Zoltan Somogyi, Peter J. Stuckey
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th ACM SIGPLAN international conference on Principles and practice of declarative programming (2002)

Recent logic programming languages, such as Mercury and HAL, require type, mode and determinism declarations for predicates. This information allows the generation of efficient target code and the detection of many errors at compile-time. Unfortunately, mode checking in such languages is difficult. One of the main reasons is that, for each predicate mode declaration, the compiler is required to decide which parts of the procedure bind which variables, and how conjuncts in the predicate definition should be re-ordered to enforce this behaviour. Current mode checking systems limit the possible modes that may be used because they do not keep track of aliasing information, and have only a limited ability to infer modes, since inference does not perform reordering. In this paper we develop a mode inference system for Mercury based on mapping each predicate to a system of Boolean constraints that describe where its variables can be produced. This allows us handle programs that are not supported by the existing system.

Essential CSS and Dhtml for Web Professionals, 2nd edition
Authors: Dan Livingston, Micah Brown
Venue:  (2001)

From the Book:PrefaceWhen I first started learning DHTML, there were two kinds of books on the market: overly simplified, cutesy books that were appropriate for technophobe junior high schoolers, and huge reference tomes that had their own gravity. But nothing really taught me how to build pages for real clients using CSS and DHMTL.This book will guide you through CSS (also called "style-sheets") and DHTML, using examples and techniques taken straight from my experience as a Web designer and programmer. I'll start off with basic concepts and simple examples and work up to more sophisticated effects and functionality.Who This Book Is ForThis book is for beginning to intermediate Web designers or programmers. You should already know enough HTML to build a simple table and form, and enough JavaScript to create an image rollover. You don't have to be a professional, but some basic Web development skills will make this book's material easier to digest. I'm assuming you want to add a little spark and interaction to your Web pages, as well as find a solid and simple way to control the fonts on your pages.How This Book Is Laid OutThe first code-heavy chapter covers CSS in all of its useful forms with a myriad of examples. The rest of the chapters focus on DHTML by presenting a real-world task and walking you through it step by step. All of the examples are for one of two fictional companies: Shelley Biotechnologies or Stitch, an online fashion magazine (like every other book in this series).The exercises and examples are designed to give you a solid, market-ready foundation in DHTML and enough expertise in practical solutions to carryyou through 90% of the DHTML projects you'll do. You'll find there's often more than one way to accomplish a feat in DHTML, which is finethere is no right or wrong in coding.All of the code, images, and working examples are available for download and viewing on www.wire-man.com/dhtml2 and www.phptr.com/essential. Special for Second EditionI am delighted to be able to write a second edition of this book. I've received hundreds of emails from readers of the first editionsome good, some bad. I have implemented many of the suggested changes, and kept the things people liked. I think the book is much stronger for it. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to drop me a line at dhtml2@wire-man.comI'd love to hear from you.

Managing Client/Server: Includes Coverage of Network Management system Management Distributed Databases and Data Warehousing
Authors: Dolf Zantinge, Pieter Adriaans, Peter Andriaans
Venue:  (1996)

:Client/server is a method by which information-system programs and data are divided between a client computer and a server computer. Software is split into many modules and is stored both on the server and on the client. While multiple clients make use of this server to request, store and change data, the entire application manifests itself to the user as a single program. The system management of a client/server organization needs an integrated approach in which network database and application management are interwoven. This book gives a comprehensive overview of the management of client/ server sites. It provides a bird's-eye view of the strategic, and will help you to structure the management of your client/server systems and give you a deeper understanding of the technical issues. It covers the following areas: Client/server architectures Network management System management Distributed databases Data warehousing Cost justification The authors have written this book to help non-technical managers understand more fully how the organization and its individuals are affected by client/server systems. Three case studies based on actual client/server implementations are used to illustrate the principles set forth.

Representations of the Post/Human: Monsters, Aliens and Others in Popular Culture
Authors: Elaine L. Graham
Venue:  (2002)

:Microchips. Genetic modification of plants. Cloning. Exciting new discoveries in reproductive, genetic, and information technologies all serve to call into question the immutability of the boundaries between humans, animals, and machines. The category of the "posthuman" reflects the implications of such new technologies on contemporary culture, especially in their capacity to reconfigure the human body and to challenge our most fundamental understandings of human nature. Elaine L. Graham explores these issues as they are expressed within popular culture and the creative arts. From the myth of Prometheus and the Gothic horror of Frankenstein's monster to contemporary postmodern science fiction, a gallery of fantastic creatures haunts Western myth, religion, and literature. They serve to connect contemporary debates with enduring concerns about the potential -- and the limits -- of human creativity. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Superconvergence of the Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Elliptic Problems on Cartesian Grids
Authors: Bernardo Cockburn, Guido Kanschat, Ilaria Perugia, Dominik Schötzau
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

In this paper, we present a superconvergence result for the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for a model elliptic problem on Cartesian grids. We identify a special numerical flux for which the L2-norm of the gradient and the L2-norm of the potential are of orders k+1/2 and k+1, respectively, when tensor product polynomials of degree at most k are used; for arbitrary meshes, this special LDG method gives only the orders of convergence of k and k+1/2, respectively. We present a series of numerical examples which establish the sharpness of our theoretical results.

Numerical Discretization of Energy-Transport Models for Semiconductors with Nonparabolic Band Structure
Authors: Pierre Degond, Ansgar Jüngel, Paola Pietra
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

The energy-transport models describe the flow of electrons through a semiconductor crystal, influenced by diffusive, electrical, and thermal effects. They consist of the continuity equations for the mass and the energy, coupled with Poisson's equation for the electric potential. These models can be derived from the semiconductor Boltzmann equation.This paper consists of two parts. The first part concerns the modeling of the energy-transport system. The diffusion coefficients and the energy relaxation term are computed in terms of the electron density and temperature, under the assumptions of nondegenerate statistics and nonparabolic band diagrams. The equations can be rewritten in a drift-diffusion formulation which is used for the numerical discretization.In the second part, the stationary energy-transport equations are discretized using the exponential fitting mixed finite element method in one space dimension. Numerical simulations of a ballistic diode are performed.

Discovering a new world of lab management
Authors: Scott Delaney, Rachel Daigle, Toni Sparks
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

Managing computer labs on any campus can be exhausting and time-consuming. However, it has been the experience of the Louisiana State University Office of Computing Services Labs Management Group that the strategic task of running a large network of public access computer labs and general access computer classrooms becomes much smoother when efficient and effective management tools are put to use. This paper details the steps that OCS Labs Management took to create a web-based solution with the goal of streamlining the many routine lab-related procedures. The OCS Lab Management Database consists of several components that are employed in the management of over 10 public access labs and 7 general access computer classrooms, totaling more than 800 PC's and 65 student workers on the LSU campus. Head counts, student worker progress reports, documentation solutions, site evaluations, and student worker training, such as streaming video tutorials are some of the features included in the web-based solution. The database also provides lab management with the capability of tracking PC hardware and software problems as well as ordering of parts and maintenance, and wireless PDA integration enables lab management to easily access the database while visiting locations across campus. Lab management, student workers, faculty and students all benefit from this innovative web-based lab management tool.
