Institutions are linkage mechanisms that bridge across three kinds of social divides—they link micro systems of social interaction to meso (and macro) levels of organization, they connect the symbolic with the material, and the agentic with the structural. Two key analytic principles are identified for empirical research, relationality and duality. These are linked to new research strategies fo...

How to build an educational bridge.

Working in outreach programmes run by our physics departments, we have learnt that pupils in secondary schools know very little about materials science and nanotechnology. There are various educational resources on these subjects for students and teachers (www.materialsworldmodules.org; www.pls. scienzamateriali.unimib.it) but because the topics are not included in Italian national curricula, t...

How to Build an Interference Graph

SUMMARY The design and implementation of an interference graph is critical to the performance of a graph-coloring register allocator. The cost of constructing and manipulating the interference graph dominates the overall cost of allocation. The literature on graph-coloring register allocation suggests the use of a bit matrix coupled with lists of edges to represent the graph. 1-3 Recently, Geor...

It does so in the form of an (incomplete) cookbook recipe, listing necessary ingredients for putting together a distributed search infrastructure. The reader has to be aware, though, that many of these ingredients are research question...
