The Nameless
نویسنده
چکیده
A personal survey of the abortion problem in Britain, based on articles in The Observer. Paul Ferris sets out the present situation clearly for the layman and gives case-histories which are often moving. He makes it clear that the existing law is archaic and socially unjust. Abortion is very much a mental health problem and psychiatrists have recently been used as a scapegoat, because society will not make up its mind to put the law on a more rational and humane basis. The medical profession in general does not emerge with much credit from this book and many people who are professionally concerned would gain a deeper understanding of the problem from Ferris' findings. Here, as in other social problems, journalism has been an important lever for reform.

Locally Nameless Permutation Types
We define “Locally Nameless Permutation Types”, which fuse permutation types as used in Nominal Isabelle with the locally nameless representation. We show that this combination is particularly useful when formalizing programming languages where bound names may become free during execution (“extrusion”), common in process calculi. It inherits the generic definition of permutations and support, a...
متن کاملDe-indirection for flash-based SSDs with nameless writes
We present Nameless Writes, a new device interface that removes the need for indirection in modern solid-state storage devices (SSDs). Nameless writes allow the device to choose the location of a write; only then is the client informed of the name (i.e., address) where the block now resides. Doing so allows the device to control blockallocation decisions, thus enabling it to execute critical ta...
متن کاملRemoving the Costs of Indirection in Flash-based SSDs with Nameless Writes
We present nameless writes, a new interface that obviates the need for indirection in modern solid-state storage devices (SSDs). Nameless writes allow the device to pick the location of a write and only then inform the client above of the decision. Doing so keeps control of block allocation decisions in the device, thus enabling it to perform important tasks such as wear-leveling, while removin...
متن کاملStrong Induction Principles in the Locally Nameless Representation of Binders (Preliminary Notes)
When using the locally nameless representation for binders, proofs by rule induction over an inductively defined relation traditionally involve a weak and strong version of this relation, and a proof that both versions derive the same judgements. In these notes we demonstrate with examples that it is often sufficient to define just the weak version, using the infrastructure provided by the nomi...
متن کاملAbstract Process Structures (Extended Abstract)
Process Structures Abstract In 9], we presented a theory of process structures as an equivalent, nameless presentation of the notion of \processes with names" as found in usual process calculi. It was shown there that a coherent set-like theory can be developed for nameless processes , including the counterpart of relation, function, and quotient. The present paper gives an abstract framework i...
متن کاملLocally Nameless Sigma Calculus
We present a Theory of Objects based on the original functional ςcalculus by Abadi and Cardelli [1] but with an additional parameter to methods. We prove confluence of the operational semantics following the outline of Nipkow’s proof of confluence for the λ-calculus reusing his general Commutation.thy [4] a generic diamond lemma reduction. We furthermore formalize a simple type system for our ς...
