We have designed and implemented a new garbage collector for the Standard ML of New JerseySystem (SML/NJ). This collector has higher performance, lower latency and generally requires lessphysical memory than the existing SML/NJ collector. In addition, it is able to exploit the largesecondary caches found on modern workstations. This paper describes the design of the collector,an...

The pre-historical vegetation structure in temperate forest regions is much debated among European and North American ecologists and conservationists. Frans Vera's recent hypothesis that large mammals created mosaics of forest and openland vegetation in both regions throughout the Holocene has been particularly controversial and has provoked new approaches to conservation management. Thirty yea...

and is one of only eight of its kind currently funded by the NCI (competitive renewal in 2010). This program, which has been continuously funded by the NCI for 41 years, provides a unique eight-week research experience for New Jersey Medical School's first and second-year medical students as well as undergraduate students enrolled in our combined BS/MD seven-year program. This year 21 medical s...

We report 17 species of Paederinae new for New Brunswick, Canada. Ten of these species, Lathrobium othioides LeConte, Lathrobium amplipenne Casey, Lathrobium armatum Say, Lathrobium confusum LeConte, Lathrobium debile LeConte, Achenomorphus corticinus (Gravenhorst), Rugilus rufipes Germar, Homaeotarsus bicolor (Gravenhorst), Homaeotharsus cribratus (LeConte), and Homaeotarsus pallipes (Gravenho...

The impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans revealed vulnerabilities caused by the interaction of the city’s fragile physical environment, aging infrastructure, and declining economic and social structure. The hurricane constituted a triggering event, but the severe destruction and heavy losses documented the extraordinary costs of inadequate plans and practice, given the city’s high exposur...

The runtime data structures of the Standard ML of New Jersey compiler are simple yet general. As a result, code generators are easy to implement, programs execute quickly, garbage collectors are easy to implement and work efficiently, and a variety of runtime facilities can be provided with ease.

The Jeep problem was introduced in 1947 and has since spawned numerous variations with real-life applications. The goal of the original problem was to find the correct procedure for a single Jeep to reach a certain distance using the minimum amount of fuel. The second part of this paper introduces the idea of multiple Jeeps, called a Jeep Convoy[4] by CG Phipps in 1947. The goal of the Jeep Con...

We add functional continuations and prompts to a language with an ML-style type system. The operators extend and simplify the control operators in Standard ML of New Jersey (SML/NJ) and Scheme, and can be themselves used to implement (simple) exceptions and references. We prove that well-typed terms never produce run-time type errors, and give a module for implementing functional continuations ...
