A key issue in software evolution analysis is being able to compute evolutionary change accurately and with rich semantics. This dissertation describes a mathematical framework for enabling accurate computation of semantic evolutionary change. It is based on graphs for representing software semantics, graph transformations for modeling evolution, and effects of graph transformations for capturi...

A self-homodyne photonic receiver for transmitted carrier wireless links isdemonstrated. The key innovations in this photonic RF-receiver are the design andimplementation of a resonant LiNbO3 microdisk electro-optic modulator and novelRF down-conversion techniques that exploit the sensitivity of the microdisk forefficient RF down-conversion in the optical domain. By careful RF a...

Meeting. This periodic gathering brings together chemists, pharmacologists and physicians interested in the medicinal use of these two precious metals. The participants were drawn from 8 countries and three continents. This meeting, because it is small and interdisciplinary, provides an intense interchange of ideas during the formal sessions, and perhaps more importantly, informal discussions s...
