Garbage Cooking in Iowa

Cooking fuel choices and garbage burning practices as determinants of birth weight: a cross-sectional study in Accra, Ghana

BACKGROUND Effect of indoor air pollution (IAP) on birth weight remains largely unexplored but yet purported as the most important environmental exposure for pregnant women in developing countries due to the effects of second-hand smoke. We investigated the associations between the determinants of indoor air quality in households and birth weight. METHODS A cross-sectional study of 592 mother...

SIGPLAN ACM Garbage In / Garbage Out March Möbius

Algorithms for extracting the roots of polynomials of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th degree are usually presented as cookbook recipes, with no insight about how such a recipe works or how it might have been discovered. This note shows how a clever high school student could use transformations (translation, scaling, rotation, inversion) of the complex plane to discover root-extraction methods for these po...

Garbage Collection in LOGFLOW*

The LOGFLOW is a distributed Prolog system running on multi-transputer machines and workstation clusters. The engines (Distributed Data Driven Prolog Abstract Machines, 3DPAM) execute the Prolog program parallel with fine-grain execution. Coarse-grain pieces of work are executed by traditional sequential WAM (Warren Abstract) machines. In the execution of logic programming languages the memory ...

Garbage in , Hollywood Out !

As military forces around the world embrace modelling and simulation as a fundamental enabling technology necessary to help them meet strategic objectives, the limitations and potential misuses of these tools and the processes that use them are worth closer examination. Of particular concern is the potential for decision-makers to be unduly influenced by state-of-the-art animation and 3D graphi...
