Phosphorylide complexes, Li+[Ph3P+C-HR]X-, where R = H, alkyl, or alkoxy, gives very poor yields of olefins from aldehydes in the Wittig reaction. In the presence of 1.1 equivs. tert-BuOK the reaction is strongly accelerated. By this method methylenecycloh ...
Modern data center fabrics open the possibility of microsecond distributed applications, such as data stores and message queues. A challenging aspect of their development is to ensure that, besides being fast in the common case, these applications react fa ...
Several recent studies identify the memory system as the most frequent source of hardware failures in commercial servers. Techniques to protect the memory system from failures must continue to service memory requests, despite hardware failures. Furthermore ...
Contemporary software systems are beset by problems that create challenges and opportunities for broad new OS research. To illustrate, we describe five areas where broad OS research could significantly improve the current user experience. These areas are d ...
We argue that ongoing research in extensible kernels largely fails to address the real challenges facing the OS community. Instead, these efforts have become entangled in trying to solve the safety problems that extensibility itself introduces into OS desi ...
The widespread use of bots to support software development makes social coding platforms such as GitHub a particularly rich source of data for the study of human-bot interaction. Software development bots are used to automate repetitive tasks, interacting ...
At the core of the contribution of this dissertation there is an augmented reality (AR) environment, StaticAR, that supports the process of learning the fundamentals of statics in vocational classrooms, particularly in carpentry ones. Vocational apprentice ...
Polyethylene-TiO2 (from now on PE-TiO2) transparent, non-scattering sputtered films have been found effective in the discoloration of methylene blue (MB) under low intensity solar simulated light. By Fourier transform attenuated infrared spectroscopy (ATR- ...
