An Unknown Organism in Flint

An Overview of the FLINT / ML

The FLINT project at Yale aims to build a state-of-the-art systems environment for modern type-safe languages. One important component of the FLINT system is a high-performance type-directed compiler for SML'97 (extended with higher-order modules). The FLINT/ML compiler provides several new capabilities that are not available in other type-based compilers: type-directed compilation is carried o...

Disseminated Nocardiosis in an Immunocompromised Child with Unknown Cause

Disseminated nocardiosis (DN), is an infrequent and severe infection due to Nocardia species and defined as infection in two or more discontinuous organs.  Most infections occur in the immunocompromised host or in persons with underlying disease.  DN occurs rarely in children.  In this report, we describe an 11-year-old immune-compromised child with nocardiosis involving the lung, skin, brain a...

Computing an organism.

T ‘‘social amoebae’’ of species Dictyostelium discoideum roam individually through the soil as long as their bacterial food is present. The social phase for these cellular slime molds begins when the food supply is exhausted. After some hours, the assemblage of amoebae aggregate into several large groups, each of which forms a worm-like slug that propels itself toward heat and light. This bring...

AN INVERSE PROBLEM WITH UNKNOWN RADIATION TERM

In this paper, we consider an inverse problem of linear heat equation with nonlinear boundary condition. We identify the temperature and the unknown radiation tern from an overspecified condition on the boundary
