Our major effort in this reporting period comprised functional genomic studies of key genes for carbon metabolite and nodulation/nitrogen fixation in Sinorhizobium meliloti, compar...
Abstract. In the context of iterated hash functions, "dithering" designates the technique of adding an iteration-dependent input to the compression function in order to d...
Abstract. Symbolic execution is a flexible and powerful, but computationally expensive technique to detect dynamic behaviors of a program. In this paper, we present a context-sensi...
Traditionally, clock network layout is performed after cell placement. Such methodology is facing a serious problem in nanometer IC designs where people tend to use huge clock buff...
In this paper we investigate two related aspects of the formalization of open interaction systems: how to specify norms, and how to enforce them by means of sanctions. The problem...
