a similar approach to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Tropical Raifall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Ground Validation (GV) program for the Automated Quality Check (AQC) of 7-minute radar-gauge data pairs.. In particular, the AQC procedure is used in the form presented during the VOLTAIRE project (Gabella and Notarpietro, 2004) and as it is implemented in the VOLTAIRE data q...

This article offers a critical discussion of Pocock's analysis of the relationship between Gibbon and Voltaire, and particularly the extent to which Decline and Fall was inspired by Voltaire's Essai sur les moeurs. It shows that "Momigliano's hypothesis" about the divorce of philosophy and erudition and their reconciliation in Gibbon was initially a commentary by Momigliano on Voltaire's histor...

Impacts on planetary bodies can lead to both prompt secondary craters and projectiles that reimpact the target body or nearby companions after an extended period, producing so-called ‘‘sesquinary” craters. Here we examine sesquinary cratering on the moons of Mars. We model the impact that formed Voltaire, the largest crater on the surface of Deimos, and explore the orbital evolution of resultin...

Verification and reliability are emerging as bottlenecks in processor design as aggressive technology scaling and continued architectural innovations enable to perform high speed complex operations. In this context we present VOLTaiRE, a ”VLIW processor with OnLine Testing and REconfigurability” that guarantees reliable functionality of the execution units even in the presence of manufacturing,...

Tradução inétida do texto “Voltaire et Spinoza” (1941) de Paul Hazard (1878-1944).

The comments relate to the often overlooked, if not in fact intentionally disregarded depths of what the so called internal aspects of mathematical knowledge may involve, depths concerning among others issues such as its unreasonable effectiveness in natural sciences, to use the terms of Eugene Wigner, suggested more than four decades ago. 1. On what Appears to be a Modern Trend ... It seems ap...
