Lawrence Grossman (1924–2006)

The nucleic acids research community lost one of its true pioneers with the passing of Larry Grossman on January 13 at the age of 81. Larry was born and raised in New York City where he dropped out of high school to help support his family and then enlisted in the Navy as a fighter pilot. He was shot down at the age of 19 or 20 and spent two days alone in a life raft in the Pacific prior to bei...

High-level synthesis is the process of translating a high-level program like specification of the behavior of a digital circuit into a structural design in terms of interconnected set of P..egisterTransfer level components. Component selection and pipelining (CS&P) is one of the important problems in HLS. The time complexity of the exhaustive search algorithm for this problem is exponential. In...

Historical Kinds and the "Special Sciences"

I do not believe there are any "special sciences" in Fodor's sense. I think that there is a large group of sciences I will call them "historical sciences" that differ fundamentally from the physical sciences because they quantify over a different kind of natural or real kind than do the physical sciences. Moreover, the laws, or better, the generalizations, that these kinds support are not excep...

QUOT AND HILBERT SPACES Contents

The purpose of this chapter is to write about Quot and Hilbert functors and to prove that these are algebraic spaces provided certain technical conditions are satisfied. In this chapter we will discuss this in the setting of algebraic space. A reference is Grothendieck’s lectures, see [Gro95a], [Gro95b], [Gro95e], [Gro95f], [Gro95c], and [Gro95d]. Another reference is the paper [OS03]; this pap...
