The Moving Out

Moving Up or Moving Out :

This research note presents a theory of congressional retirement and tests it with data from the 102d Congress. The results bridge the gap between the 1970s macro retirement studies and the more recent micro-centered approaches by highlighting the importance of career ceilings. Defined as the interaction between formal position and years of service, the career ceilings variable can be interpret...

Moving the Default Memory Manager Out of the Mach Kernel

1. Abstract We have implemented a default memory manager for the Mach 3.0 kernel that resides entirely in user space. The default memory manager uses a small set of kernel privileges to lock itself into memory, preventing deadlocks against other Mach system services. An extension to the Mach boot sequence loads both the kernel and user program images at system startup time. The resulting system...

Inside-Out Signaling: Moving the AT1 Receptor in to Get the Message Out.

W ith cardiovascular disease remaining a major cause of morbidity and mortality despite recent therapeutic advances, the molecular basis of heart failure continues to be an active field of investigation. In particular, the renin-angio-tensin system, which plays a major role in blood pressure control and cardiac hypertrophy, has been the subject of countless studies. The renin-angiotensin system...

Moving Out the Edges of a Lattice Polygon

We review previous work of (mainly) Koelman, Haase and Schicho, and Poonen and Rodriguez-Villegas on the dual operations of (i) taking the interior hull and (ii) moving out the edges of a two-dimensional lattice polygon. We show how the latter operation naturally gives rise to an algorithm for enumerating lattice polygons by their genus. We then report on an implementation of this algorithm, by...
