Tumaini University at Iringa, Tanzania, started a new B.Sc. program in IT in 2007. In the course of planning and implementation of the program, we found out that standard ACM/IEEE IT curricula are not adequate for an IT program in a poor, developing country. The standard curricula describe, in detail, the competences that IT specialists in industrialized countries should possess, but the specia...

Competition law in many countries prohibits …rms from making false claims about product quality or performance to potential buyers and also requires that the truth of speci…c claims be supported by adequate prior testing. This paper explores the di¤erences between these two policies and asks, among other questions, whether a policy of mandatory prior substantiation has any incremental e¤ect if ...

The manipulationist account of causation provides a conceptual analysis of cause-effect relationships in terms of hypothetical experiments. It also explains why and how experiments are used for the empirical testing of causal claims. This paper attempts to apply the manipulationist account of causation to a broader range of experiments—a range that extends beyond experiments explicitly designed...

The X-ray crystal structure of Torpedo californica acetylcholinesterase (TcAChE) complexed with BW284C51 [CO[-CH(2)CH(2)-pC(6)H(4)-N(CH(3))(2)(CH(2)-CH=CH(2))](2)] is described and compared with the complexes of two other active-site gorge-spanning inhibitors, decamethonium and E2020. The inhibitor was soaked into TcAChE crystals in the trigonal space group P3(1)21, yielding a complex which dif...
