Technical Report: Defining the Undefinedness of C

This paper investigates undefined behavior in C and offers a few simple techniques for operationally specifying such behavior formally. A semantics-based undefinedness checker for C is developed using these techniques, as well as a test suite of undefined programs. The tool is evaluated against other popular analysis tools, using the new test suite in addition to a third-party test suite. The s...

Inductive signal and tissue responsiveness defining the tectum and the cerebellum.

The mes/metencephalic boundary (isthmus) has an organizing activity for mesencephalon and metencephalon. The candidate signaling molecule is Fgf8 whose mRNA is localized in the region where the cerebellum differentiates. Responding to this signal, the cerebellum differentiates in the metencephalon and the tectum differentiates in the mesencephalon. Based on the assumption that strong Fgf8 signa...

Vitamin C: prospective functional markers for defining optimal nutritional status.

Most species of plants and animals synthesize ascorbic acid, but human subjects cannot, making vitamin C an essential component of our diet. Relationships between vitamin C intake and status, and between status and health are not yet clear. There is evidence, however, that higher intake of vitamin C is associated with lower risk of disease, supporting the concept that optimal intake is needed f...

A Note on Plurisubharmonic Defining Functions in C

Let Ω ⊂⊂ C n , n ≥ 3, be a smoothly bounded domain. Suppose that Ω admits a smooth defining function which is plurisubharmonic on the boundary of Ω. Then the Diederich-Fornaess exponent can be chosen arbitrarily close to 1, and the closure of Ω admits a Stein neighborhood basis.
