IMAGE PROCESSING WITH CRAYONS Jerry Alan Fails Department of Computer Science Masters of Science As computers become faster, smaller, and less expensive, ubiquitous computing, the distribution of computers into everyday spaces, grows at an ever-increasing rate. One area of particular interest is perceptual user interfaces (PUIs). PUI systems use sensing-devices for input, which are coupled with...

The primary means for patients in the United States to gain redress for grievances against hospitals and physicians is the tort system. Largely through rulings from state and federal courts, we rely on the tort system to incentivize individuals and firms to take appropriate care of those in their charge, compensate those who are harmed by their actions, manage risk, and punish those who fail to...

The central dogma of molecular biology states that information in DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which is in turn translated into proteins by structures called ribosomes. Lengths of mRNA strands vary, but all mRNAs use codons, sets of three nucleotide bases, to instruct the ribosome where to begin protein synthesis, what proteins to produce, and when to stop. Alan G. Hinnebusch, ...

The formula for the entropy density of black-body radiation is given in Lecture Notes 6. The derivation of this formula has been left to the statistical mechanics course that you either have taken or hopefully will take. For our purposes, the important point is that the early universe remains very close to thermal equilibrium, and therefore entropy is conserved. The conservation of entropy appl...

Caros leitores, gostaria de dar boas vindas ao Victor Fossaluza (UFSCar) e também agradecê-lo por ter aceito a tarefa de ser o editor deste boletim para o biênio 2013-2014. Ele, em seu primeiro boletim, nos traz um excelente texto de K. V. Mardia e S. B. Cooper sobre o trabalho de Alan Turing. Sendo assim, esperamos muito mais dele para os próximos boletins! Gostaria também de informá-los que o...
