چکیده
Software systems are complex. They coordinate components written at di erent times, by di erent people, perhaps even in di erent programming languages, to accomplish shared goals. Operating systems, for example, contain device drivers written by third parties, which must be trusted (or proved) not to crash the kernel. OSs are also typically implemented in multiple languages (e.g., context switching code in assembly interacting with schedulers written in C), which can lead to complicated system-level invariants and subtle bugs. Other widely used software systems, such as the implementations of languages like Java and OCaml, are just as heterogeneous: The compiler is written in a high-level language but generates code that is linked to garbage collectors and other runtime components written in C or C++.

Analytical solutions for the fractional Klein-Gordon equation
In this paper, we solve a inhomogeneous fractional Klein-Gordon equation by the method of separating variables. We apply the method for three boundary conditions, contain Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin boundary conditions, and solve some examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.
متن کاملOn the exoneration of Dr. William H. Stewart: debunking an urban legend
BACKGROUND It is one of the most infamous quotes in the history of biomedicine: "It is time to close the book on infectious diseases, and declare the war against pestilence won." Long attributed to the United States Surgeon General, Dr. William H. Stewart (1965-1969), the statement is frequently used as a foil by scientific and lay authors to underscore the ever-increasing problems of antibioti...
