Synovial membrane asks for independence.

Synovial membrane is traditionally considered as a part of the joint capsule. It, however, differs from fibrous part of the capsule in development, structure, function, vascularisation, innervation and involvement in pathological processes. Moreover, in some areas, it even does not contact with the fibrous capsule. Thus, it appears that the synovial membrane should be considered as an independe...

Booledozer: Logic Synthesis for Asks

Logic synthesis is the process of automatically generating optimized logic-level representation from a high-level description. With the rapid advances in integrated circuit technology and the resultant growth in design complexity, designers increasingly rely on logic synthesis to shorten the design time while achieving performance objectives. This paper describes the IBM logic synthesis system ...

Reclaiming freshwater sustainability in the Cadillac Desert.

Increasing human appropriation of freshwater resources presents a tangible limit to the sustainability of cities, agriculture, and ecosystems in the western United States. Marc Reisner tackles this theme in his 1986 classic Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water.

Geronimo’s Cadillac: Lessons for Learning Object Repositories

Much of the work into learning objects and repositories work has, to date, been driven by the philosophical and technical considerations of metadata, ontologies, semantics, user-modelling, architecture, interoperability and standardization issues etc. This work is very important. However, this paper discusses the importance of understanding the context of application for learning object reposit...
