Femtosecond and subfemtosecond time scales typically rule electron dynamics at metal surfaces. Recent advance in experimental techniques permits now remarkable precision in the description of these processes. In particular, shorter time scales, smaller system sizes, and spin-dependent effects are current targets of interest. In this article, we use state-of-the-art theoretical methods to analyz...

Since its inception, in 1993, the Lua programming language has gone far beyond our most optimistic expectations. In this paper, we describe the trajectory of Lua, from its creation as an in-house language for two specific projects, until Lua 4.0, released in November 2000. We discuss the evolution of some of its concepts and the main landmarks in its

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Phylogenetic analysis of DNA and amino acid sequences requires the creation of files formatted specifically for each analysis package. Programs currently available cannot simultaneously code inferred insertion/deletion (indel) events in sequence alignments and concatenate data sets. • METHODS AND RESULTS A novel Perl script, 2matrix, was created to concatena...

The LaHave House Project explores the creation of an automated architectural design service based on an industrial design approach to architecture in which Architects design families of similarly structured objects, rather than individual ones. Our current system consists of three software components: 1) A design engine that uses shape grammars to generate a library of preliminary level house d...

This paper describes an online resource designed to aid in the creation of educational robotics programs where teams of mentors work with middle and high school students. This resource, The RoboCupJunior Primer, is based on five years of undergraduate mentoring experience in a local public school. The primary goals of the primer are threefold: first, to expose interested parties to the resource...

The prevalence of image and video capture along with public demand to view such recordings has made privacy protection a major concern. Redaction is used to obfuscate personally identifiable information such as faces, license plates, house numbers, and store fronts. Redaction aims to obfuscate targeted areas while maintaining scene context. We propose facial obfuscation methods that maintain co...

In the field of Human Language Technology (HLT), the existence of linguistically interpreted real-world texts provides the license necessary for a given language to enter the area of high-tech applications. The significance of BulTreeBank is the granting of an HLT license to a “less processed” language like Bulgarian which, until recently, has been formally modelled and processed mainly on the ...
