The Post-Soviet Handbook: A Guide to Grassroots Organizations and Internet Resources, 2nd edition
Authors: M. Holt Ruffin
Venue:  (1999)

:The Soviet Union's demise in 1991 resulted in new independent nations faced with enormous challenges--radical economic restructuring, crime, corruption, even civil war. But it also spawned the formation of thousands of dynamic new organizations by public-spirited citizens seeking to make their societies more humane, economies more productive, environments cleaner, and legal systems more just. This thoroughly revised edition of The Post-Soviet Handbook documents the variety of grassroots efforts in Russia, Ukraine, and five other nations of post-Soviet Eurasia, providing concise descriptions and accurate contact information for these diverse organizations. Many of the new entries represent projects based in provincial centers, reflecting powerful trends in post-Soviet societies toward autonomy and decentralization. Internet users will find a wealth of new resources. A new element is the inclusion of projects based in Canada. Whether the issues are the environment, the disabled, the excesses of "wild capitalism," human rights, or ethnic conflict, The Post-Soviet Handbook shows how grassroots self-organization accomplishes real change.

Convergence of Nonconvergent IRK Discretizations of Optimal Control Problems with State Inequality Constraints
Authors: J. T. Betts, N. Biehn, S. L. Campbell
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

It has been observed that optimization codes are sometimes able to solve inequality state constrained optimal control problems with discretizations which do not converge when used as integrators on the constrained dynamics. Understanding this phenomenon could lead to a more robust design for direct transcription codes as well as better test problems. This paper examines how this phenomenon can occur. The difference between solving index 3 differential algebraic equations (DAEs) using the trapezoid method in the context of direct transcription for optimal control problems and a straightforward implicit Runge--Kutta (IRK) formulation of the same trapezoidal discretization is analyzed. It is shown through numerical experience and theory that the two can differ as much as O(1/h3) in the control. The optimization can use a small sacrifice in the accuracy of the states in the early stages of the trapezoidal method to produce better accuracy in the control, whereas more precise solutions converge to an incorrect solution. Convergence independent of the index of the constraints is then proven for one class of problems. The theoretical results are used to explain computational observations.

Simple and effective array prefetching in Java
Authors: Brendon Cahoon, Kathryn S. McKinley
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 joint ACM-ISCOPE conference on Java Grande (2002)

Java is becoming a viable choice for numerical algorithms due to the software engineering benefits of object-oriented programming. Because these programs still use large arrays that do not fit in the cache, they continue to suffer from poor memory performance. To hide memory latency, we describe a new unified compile-time analysis for software prefetching arrays and linked structures in Java. Our previous work uses data-flow analysis to discover linked data structure accesses, and here we present a more general version that also identifies loop induction variables used in array accesses. Our algorithm schedules prefetches for all array references that contain induction variables. We evaluate our technique using a simulator of an out-of-order superscalar processor running a set of array-based Java programs. Across all our programs, prefetching reduces execution time by a geometric mean of 23%, and the largest improvement is 58%. We also evaluate prefetching on a PowerPC processor, and we show that prefetching reduces execution time by a geometric mean of 17%. Traditional software prefetching algorithms for C and Fortran use locality analysis and sophisticated loop transformations. Because our analysis is much simpler and quicker, it is suitable for including in a just-in-time compiler. We further show that the additional loop transformations and careful scheduling of prefetches used in previous work are not always necessary for modern architectures and Java programs.

The Thayer method of instruction at the United States Military Academy: a modest history and a modern personal account
Authors: Amy E. Shell
Venue: PRIMUS: problems, resources, and issues in mathematics undergraduate studies (2002)

In 2002, The United States Military Academy at West Point celebrates its bicentennial. For most of those two hundred years the academy has taught its courses by what is known as the Thayer method of instruction. In short, the philosophy is that cadets are responsible for their own learning. They study the material prior to attending class. The learning is then reinforced in class through a combination of group learning and active learning exercises done primarily at the blackboards.I will give a short overview of how instruction at West Point has evolved in two hundred years, along with a discussion of our current teaching methods and how they can be integrated into any science classroom.

A bayesian approach to transcript estimation from gene array data: the BEAM technique
Authors: Ron O. Dror, Jonathan G. Murnick, Nicola A. Rinaldi, Voichita D. Marinescu, Ryan M. Rifkin, Richard A. Young
Venue: Proceedings of the sixth annual international conference on Computational biology (2002)

We present a new statistically optimal approach to estimate transcript levels and ratios from one or more gene array experiments. The Bayesian Estimation of Array Measurements (BEAM) technique uses a model of measurement noise and prior information to estimate biological expression levels. It provides a principled method to deal with negative expression level measurements, combine multiple measurements, and identify changes in expression level. BEAM is more flexible than existing techniques, because it does not assume a specific functional form for noise and prior models. Rather, it uses a more accurate noise model developed from experimental data, a process we illustrate here using Affymetrix yeast chips.

TiltType: accelerometer-supported text entry for very small devices
Authors: Kurt Partridge, Saurav Chatterjee, Vibha Sazawal, Gaetano Borriello, Roy Want
Venue: Proceedings of the 15th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2002)

TiltType is a novel text entry technique for mobile devices. To enter a character, the user tilts the device and presses one or more buttons. The character chosen depends on the button pressed, the direction of tilt, and the angle of tilt. TiltType consumes minimal power and requires little board space, making it appropriate for wristwatch-sized devices. But because controlled tilting of one's forearm is fatiguing, a wristwatch using this technique must be easily removable from its wriststrap. Applications include two-way paging, text entry for watch computers, web browsing, numeric entry for calculator watches, and existing applications for PDAs.
Consistent boundary conditions for multicomponent real gas mixtures based on characteristic waves
Authors: Nora Okong'o, Josette Bellan
Venue: Journal of Computational Physics (2002)

Previously developed characteristic-wave-based boundary conditions for multi-component perfect gas mixtures are here extended to real gas mixtures. The characteristic boundary conditions are derived from the one-dimensional wave decomposition of the Euler equations, and the wave amplitude variations are determined from the prescribed boundary conditions on the flow variables. The viscous conditions are applied separately. For multidimensional simulations, the boundary conditions for each coordinate direction are applied additively. These boundary conditions are tested on a representative two-dimensional problem--the propagation of an incompressible vortex by a supersonic flow with outflow conditions specified as nonreflecting-- solved using a high-order finite-difference scheme. Simulations conducted for a heptane-nitrogen mixture flow with strong real gas effects display excellent, nonreflective wave behavior as the vortex leaves the computational domain, verifying the suitability of this method for the multidimensional multicomponent real gas flows computed.

Low-leakage asymmetric-cell SRAM
Authors: Navid Azizi, Andreas Moshovos, Farid N. Najm
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

We introduce a novel family of asymmetric dual-Vt SRAM cell designs that reduce leakage power in caches while maintaining low access latency. Our designs exploit the strong bias towards zero at the bit level exhibited by the memory value stream of ordinary programs. Compared to conventional symmetric high-performance cells, our cells offer significant leakage reduction in the zero state and in some cases also in the one state albeit to a lesser extend. A novel sense-amplifier, in coordination with dummy bitlines, allows for read times to be on par with conventional symmetric cells. With one cell design, leakage is reduced by 7X (in the zero state) with no performance degradation. An alternative cell design reduces leakage by 40X (in the zero state) with a performance degradation of 5%.
The role of "genre" in the analysis of the use of videoconference systems at work
Authors: Teresa Cerratto Pargman, Ann Lantz
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

This paper reports the results of three case studies aimed at exploring the use of videoconference systems in different working situations. We observed how professionals in three geographically distributed groups --- one from the academic world and two from large Swedish companies --- used different videoconference systems for work. The paper discusses the fact that groups from different working contexts, using different videoconferences systems, decided to avoid them and instead all chose telephone conferences to support their meetings. This result is interpreted as a sign of a gap between emerging technologies and implementations of genres (conventions) in design.
