There were two forms of nativism1 during the Tokugawa period. The first was literary in orientation. Literary nativists undertook exhaustive and comprehensive studies of Japan’s classical literature, and both poetry and prose works were central to their scholarship. An array of luminary intellects mostly from the eighteenth century made their mark on this form of nativism, including Keichū (164...

The Distributed ASCI Supercomputer (DAS) Project has resulted in four generations of highly successful distributed clusters, starting with DAS-1 in 1997 leading up to DAS-4, which is expected to be installed mid-2010. Each new incarnation has implemented bold new technologies, pushing the limits of highperformance cluster design. Recent years have also seen the rise of the cloud computing parad...

A transactional agent is a mobile agent which manipulates objects in one or more than one computer so as to satisfy some constraint like ACID. An agent creates a surrogate agent on a computer on leaving the computer. A surrogate holds objects manipulated by the agent until the agent terminates. The surrogate can recreate a new incarnation of the agent if the agent is faulty. Transactional agent...

The OWLlink interface provides an implementation-neutral mechanism for accessing OWL reasoner functionality. In contrast to its DL-oriented predecessor DIG, OWLlink relies on OWL 2 for the primitives of the modelling language, and is thus fully compatible with the forthcoming incarnation of OWL. The OWLlink core introduced in this document covers (i) basic reasoner management, (ii) assertion of...

This lecture introduces pixon-based image restoration/reconstruction methods. The relationship between image Algorithmic Information Content and the Bayesian incarnation of Occam's Razor are discussed as well as the relationship of multiresolution pixon languages and image fractal dimension. Also discussed is the relationship of pixons to the role played by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle ...

In August 2014 CSCS received a new test bed storage system from Cray, namely the latest incarnation of their innovative HPC data storage product dubbed Sonexion 2000. The purpose of this study is to evaluate this product, covering installation, configuration and tuning including the Lustre file-system and integrating it with an x86 cluster. We describe the hardware, infrastructure, software sta...

The Internet has evolved greatly from its original incarnation. For instance, the vast majority of current Internet usage is data retrieval and service access, whereas the architecture was designed around host-to-host applications such as telnet and ftp. Moreover, the original Internet was a purely transparent carrier of packets, but now the various network stakeholders use middleboxes to impro...

The RNA polymerase II carboxy terminal domain has long been known to play an important role in the control of eukaryotic transcription. This role is mediated, at least in part, through complex post-translational modifications that take place on specific residues within the heptad repeats of the domain. In this addendum, a speculative, but formal mathematical conceptualization of this biological...
