These are draft notes for the first part of the Atlas of reductive Lie groups project, dealing with the structure theory part of the program. Computationaly, most of this should be very light, and certainly much or all of it could be implemented in a high-level environment such as Maple or GAP. However, since the structure theory things lie at the very heart of the program, it is neceesary to h...

Software evolution demands continuous adaptation of software systems to continuously changing requirements. Our goal is to cope with software evolution by automating program transformation and system recon guration. We show that this can be achieved with a static metaprogramming facility and a library of suitable metaprograms. We show that former approaches of program transformations are not su...

The bond portfolio management problem is formulated as a stochastic program based on interest rate scenarios. The coefficients of the resulting program are subject to errors of various kind. In this paper, we complement the theoretical stability results of [10] by simulation experiments. Adapting the approach of [16] to problems based on perturbed yield curves, we then provide bounds for the op...

This work extends a model proposed by Voldman, Mandelbrot, et al. on the fractal nature of the gaps separating cache misses, and shows how the fractal dimension of the gap distribution can be used to predict the miss ratio experienced by the program that has generated the series of cache misses. This result supports the thesis that the fractal dimension of the distribution of the intermiss gaps...

We are piloting such a model within our residency program with the first class to begin their three years of dermatology training in July 2016, followed by a (minimum) three-year term on faculty. We plan to provide our trainees with the tools they need to succeed as strong academic leaders and educators and, in so doing, fill a muchneeded gap in the physician workforce. Such a program might sim...

Background: PGY program was initiated in 2003 for undifferentiated physicians Taiwan, the aimed to improve physicians’ general competency gap exposed during SARS epidemic breakout. Many published studies discussed effectiveness of program. We were interested learning impacts gained from physicians' perspectives EM rotation program, and little known regarding this subject.

Healthcare systems in many low income countries have evolved to provide services for acute, infections and are poorly structured for the provision of chronic, non-communicable diseases which are increasingly common. Epilepsy is a common chronic neurologic condition and antiepileptic drugs are affordable, but the epilepsy treatment gap remains >90% in most African countries. The World Health Org...

Gap junctions coordinate electrical signals and facilitate metabolic synchronization between cells. In this study, the authors have developed a novel assay for the identification of gap junction blockers using fluorescence microscopy imaging-based high-content screening technology. In the assay, the communication between neighboring cells through gap junctions was measured by following the redi...
