Biography: Sage Weil received his Ph.D. from UCSC in 2006 under the direction of Scott Brandt and Carlos Maltzahn. Sage designed Ceph as part of his PhD research. Since graduating, he has continued to refine the system with the goal of providing a stable next generation distributed file system. Prior to his graduate work, Sage helped found New Dream Network, the company behind Dreamhost web hos...

This paper discusses in how far FCA software can be combined with the computer algebra system Sage. The motivation for this paper is teaching mathematics to software engineering students using Sage and FCA which highlights differences and connections between mathematical and computational structures. Furthermore, this paper provides implementation details on how Sage’s functions for matrices, g...

background and objective:   the aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical effects of a mouthwash containing sage (salvia officinalis) extracts on streptococcus mutans (sm) causing dental plaque in school-aged children. material and methods: a double blind clinical trial study was conducted in a dormitory on 70 girls aged 11-14 years having the same socioeconomic and oral hygiene conditions....

Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) occupy sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) habitats in 11 western states and 2 Canadian provinces. In September 2015, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced the listing status for sage-grouse had changed from warranted but precluded to not warranted. The primary reason cited for this change of status was that the enactment of new regulatory mechanism...

We have used an off-line 3-D chemical transport model (CTM) to investigate the 11-yr solar cycle response in tropical stratospheric ozone. The model is forced with European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) (re)analysis (ERA-40/operational and ERAInterim) data for the 1979–2005 time period. We have compared the modelled solar response in ozone to observationbased data sets that ...

AIM The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of intramammary infusion of sage (Salvia officinalis) essential oil (EO) on milk somatic cell count (SCC), milk composition parameters and selected hematology and serum biochemical parameters in 20 Awassi ewes affected with subclinical mastitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The dried leaves of sage were used to extract the EO by hydrodistillati...

We present a symbolic tool that provides robust algebraic methods to handle automatic deduction tasks for a dynamic geometry construction. The main prototype has been developed as two different worksheets for the open source computer algebra system Sage, corresponding to two different ways of coding a geometric construction. In one worksheet, diagrams constructed with the open source dynamic ge...

Multidimensional Continued Fraction Algorithms are generalizations of the Euclid algorithm and find iteratively the gcd of two or more numbers. They are defined as linear applications on some subcone of R. We consider multidimensional continued fraction algorithms that acts symmetrically on the positive cone R+ for d = 3. We include well-known and old ones (Poincaré, Brun, Selmer, Fully Subtrac...
