A major problem in our earlier proposal for a C interface was that a part of the interface was not portable between platforms. The libcc interface solves this problem by using a C compiler and its .h-files. The .h-files contain knowledge about the specific platform, and the C compiler automatically inserts the necessary conversions between Forth and C types. In this paper we describe the libcc ...

Software projects that use a compiled language are built hundreds of thousands of times during their lifespan. Hence, the compiler is invoked over and over again on an incrementally changing source base. As previous work has shown, up to 97 percent of these invocations are redundant and do not lead to an altered compilation result. In order to avoid such redundant builds, many developers use ca...

This paper introduces TweetNaCl, a compact reimplementation of the NaCl library, including all 25 of the NaCl functions used by applications. TweetNaCl is published on Twitter and fits into just 100 tweets; the tweets are available from anywhere, any time, in an unsuspicious way. Distribution via other social media, or even printed on a sheet of A4 paper, is also easily possible. TweetNaCl is h...

Suppose there are d diploids and m tetraploids. In the language of [2], there are m models h = 1, h = 2, . . .h = m, where h is the number of hybridizations. Each model has a different number of parameters. The main difficulty with the network prior is that the normalization constants are needed for the different models. Let W be the network topology and node times. The conditional priors π(W |...

The inverse fluidized bed bioreactor was adapted for the axenic culture of heterotrophic microorganisms. Penicillin V synthesized by Penicillium chrysogenum ATCC 28089 was used as a model system for secondary metabolite production. The biomass growth rate was controlled by the rate of nutrient addition while an eroder in the inner draft tube limited the maximum biofilm thickness. When a lactose...

Health[1] Health[1]Mental health [2]Refugees [3]Sweden [4]Forskning.no [5] Refugees in Sweden run three times more risk of developing schizophrenia than persons born in Sweden. They can experience armed drones in the sky, bloody battles, frequent bombings and all sorts of persecution and abuse before encountering the worries and traumas of a dramatic exodus and an uncertain future. A huge study...
