Scala’s type system unifies aspects of ML modules, object-oriented, and functional programming. The Dependent Object Types (DOT) family of calculi has been proposed as a new theoretic foundation for Scala and similar expressive languages. Unfortunately, ty ...
An alternative type of vector signaling codes having increased pin-efficiency normal vector signaling codes is described. Receivers for these Permutation Modulation codes of Type II use comparators requiring at most one fixed reference voltage. The resulti ...
This paper concerns approximate cloaking by mapping for a full, but scalar wave equation, when one allows for physically relevant frequency dependence of the material properties of the cloak. The paper is a natural continuation of [20], but here we employ ...
The Locomotive Assignment Problem (LAP) is a class of planning and scheduling problems solved by assigning a fleet of locomotives to a network of trains. In the planning versions of the LAP, the type of consist (a group of linked locomotives) assigned to e ...
We propose to investigate a new approach to effect checking that has an elegant solution to the effect polymorphism problem. The central idea is that instead of talking about effects we talk about capabilities. For instance, instead of saying a function “t ...
Although a building lifetime is not predictable, it is an essential data in the yearly impact calculation. Yet, in the assessment of the environmental impacts of building the lifetime is considered as a fixed value. The purpose of this study is to introduc ...
We introduce a suitable concept of weak evolution in the context of the radial quintic focussing semilinear wave equation on R^{3+1}, that is adapted to continuation past type II singularities. We show that the weak extension leads to type I singularity fo ...
This article addresses questions about the double centralizer of unipotent elements u in simple algebraic groups G of type and defined over algebraically closed fields of bad characteristic. We use the method developed in [14] to determine , deduce its dim ...
Nutritional interactions between corals and symbiotic dinoflagellate algae lie at the heart of the structural foundation of coral reefs. Whilst the genetic diversity of Symbiodinium has attracted particular interest because of its contribution to the sensi ...
A scalable programming language is one in which the same concepts can describe small as well as large parts. Towards this goal, Scala unifies concepts from object and module systems. An essential ingredient of this unification is the concept of objects wit ...
