Big Types In Little Runtime

Figure A.1 shows the translation from λ→ to λ ⇓ ` including the insertion of origin markers, and is otherwise identical to Figure 3. Similarly,Figure A.2 shows the single-step reduction rules for λ` with origin markers p included; otherwise it is identical to the rules shown in Figure 4. Figure A.3 shows the precision relations for λ` and λ ? → used in proving the gradual guarantee. Figure A.4 ...

www.sciencemag.org SCIENCE VOL 338 14 DECEMBER 2012 1389 COVER Arachnoscelis magnifi ca, a predaceous katydid (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), on a leaf in the San Lorenzo forest of Panama. This attractive insect is but one of the ~25,000 arthropod species likely to live in this 6000-hectare forest, confi rming the formidable diversity of arthropods, which appears to be 300 times that of mammals in...

Little Big Photon

18 P hotons come in many beautiful colors and are very useful for transmitting information with little loss over large distances. However, photons are also a little boring: they essentially do not interact with one another. This absence of interactions, or equivalently, the linearity of the optical response, is what allows one to send powerful optical pulses over large distances through optical...

Big science, little science.

In the USA, where I live and work, it is well known that I have little love for structural genomics—the attempt to determine the structures of most or all of the proteins in an organism by some combination of high-throughput X-ray crystallo graphy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and homology modelling. My reasons are a matter of public record: structural genomics is based on an assumpt...
