Generating Analyzers with PAG

To produce high quality code, modern compilers use global optimization algorithms based on abstract interpretation. These algorithms are rather complex; their implementation is therefore a non{trivial task and error{prone. However, since they are based on a common theory, they have large similar parts. We conclude that analyzer writing better should be replaced with analyzer generation. We pres...

The pag Gene of pXO1 Is Involved in Capsule Biosynthesis of Bacillus anthracis Pasteur II Strain

The poly-γ-D-glutamic acid capsule and anthrax toxins are major virulence factors of Bacillus anthracis. Genes responsible for capsule biosynthesis are located on pXO2, whereas genes encoding the toxins, which are composed of edema factors, lethal factors, and protective antigens (PA), are located on pXO1. In this study, we found that the pag null mutation not only eliminated the production of ...

The Periaqueductal Gray (PAG)

This issue covers a broad territory of PAG function: neu-ropharmacology, functional organization, and PAG plasticity in adaptive behavior, emotion, anxiety, and the less-studied plasticity of the PAG function in females. Interest in the involvement of PAG in defensive behavior has a long history. Thinking about this area was radically changed by the seminal contributions of Bandler and DePaulis...

Psych-Aetiology Graph (PAG)

This paper will introduce the ‘Psych-Aetiology Graph’, PAG for short. The concept of PAG is devised by the author as a way of conceptualising/formalising/summarising the client’s condition. The term ‘Psych-Aetiology’ is used to encompass all the Bio-Psycho-Social factors contributing to the client’s presenting condition. Also, the graph has no arithmetic value and is not based on any particular...
