Abstract. A reflective programming language provides means to render explicit what is typically abstracted away in its language constructs in an on-demand style. In the early 1980’s, Brian Smith introduced a general recipe for building reflective programming languages with the notion of procedural

We introduce a new distance between two distributions that we call the Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD), which reflects the minimal amount of work that must be performed to transform one distributioninto the other by moving “distribution mass ” around. This is a special case of the transportation

We present a comprehensive methodology for realistically animating liquid phenomena. Our approach unifies existing computer graphics techniques for simulating fluids and extends them by incorporating more complex behavior. It is based on the Navier-Stokes equations which couple momentum and mass

The names “Virginia Tech ” and “Cho ” will be associated forever with the tragic mass homicide of 32 persons cum suicide by Seung-Hui Cho on 16 April 2007. In the aftermath, many questions have been posed: “What happened and

. This suggests that there is a role for both democratic institutions and mass media in ensuring that the preferences of citizens are reflected in policy. The ideas behind the model are tested on panel data from India. We show that state governments are more responsive to falls in food production and crop flood

parameters over both land and ocean. The aerosol products available over land include aerosol optical thickness at three visible wavelengths, a measure of the fraction of aerosol optical thickness attributed to the fine mode, and several derived parameters including reflected spectral solar flux at the top

It is by now a well-known topic in semantics that there are striking similarities between the meanings of nominal and verbal expressions, insofar as the mass:count distinction in the nominal domain is reflected in the ate1ic:telic distinction in the verbal domain (cf. Leisi 1953, Taylor 1977,

of neutrino mass matrices obeying µ-τ

Abstract. The opportunities of mass customization are acknowledged as fundamentally positive by theoretical and empirical studies for many years. Many companies are already operating on this new business model successfully. But most of them are rather small start-ups which utilize the novelty

experimental science. I begin my reflections by going back in time before the tau, before even my interest in leptons. I was trained as an engineer at Polytechnic University (then the Polytechnic Institute of BrooMyn) and I always begin the design of an experiment with engineering drawings, with engineering
