A force platform can be an excellent teaching aid in undergraduate physics classes and laboratories. Recently, Cross showed how to increase student interest and understanding of elementary mechanics by using a force platform to study everyday human movements such as walking, running, and jumping. My experiences with using a force platform in undergraduate classes have also been highly favourabl...

The increasing number of Internet users and innovative new services such as e-commerce are placing new demands on Web servers. It is becoming essential for Web servers to provide performance isolation, have fast recovery times, and provide continuous service during overload at least to preferred customers. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of three kernelbased mechanisms t...

Today, caching web proxies use general-purpose le systems to store web objects. Proxies, e.g., Squid or Apache, when running on a UNIX system, typically use the standard UNIX le system (UFS) for this purpose. UFS was designed for research and engineering environments, which have di erent characteristics from that of a caching web proxy. Some of the di erences are high temporal locality, relaxed...

European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) 2001 meeting.

Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptorand human metabolic disease At the Robert Turner Memorial Lecture opening the 37th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Stephen O’Rahilly (Cambridge, U.K.) discussed the relationship between peroxisome proliferator– activated receptor (PPAR)and human metabolic disease. He tried to “get some of the flavor of Robert...
