Flow chemistry has gained considerable recognition as a simple, efficient, and safe technology for the synthesis of many types of organic and inorganic molecules ranging in scope from large complex natural products to silicon nanoparticles. In this paper we describe a method that adapts flow chemistry to the synthesis of libraries of compounds using a fluorous immiscible solvent as a spacer bet...

Traditionally, intrusion detection systems detect intrusions at the operating system (OS) level. In this paper we explore the possibility of detecting intrusion at the application level by using rich application semantics. We use short sequences of language library calls as signatures. We consider library call signatures to be more application-oriented than system call signatures because they a...

In this paper, we present a new graphical interface for traditional library environments, which allows the user to elaborate easily and efficiently new strategies in search processes. This tool is based on two linked interactive Euler diagram representations. The first one is an interactive representation of the structures composing the documentary kernel of the library. The user may navigate a...

Plan library's have proven their added value to the e ciency of planning. In this paper, we present results on the use of a plan library to plan repair. We show that using a relatively simple library, we can already obtain signi cant improvements in e ciency compared to plan repair without a library.

Moving to smaller libraries can be considered as a relevant task when porting software systems to limited-resource devices (e.g., hand-helds). Library miniaturization will be particularly effective if based on both dynamic (keeping into account dependencies exploited during application execution in a given user profile) and static (keeping into account all possible dependencies) information. Th...

This paper presents biped walking control using a library of optimal trajectories. The biped walking control problem is formulated as an optimal control problem. We take advantage of a parametric trajectory optimization method to find the periodic steady-state trajectory in regular walking. Then we use Differential Dynamic Programming (DDP) to generate a library of optimal trajectories and loca...

Recommendations are a valuable help for library users e.g. striving to gain an overview of the important literature for a certain topic. We describe a new method for generating recommendations for documents based on clustering purchase histories. The algorithm presented here is called restricted random walk (RRW) clustering and has proven to cope efficiently with large data sets. Furthermore, a...

For cloud providers it is important to offer services that safeguard their users from existing vulnerabilities. Research has shown that is not uncommon for libraries to contain vulnerabilities that can have serious security implications. Traditional host based vulnerability scanners can be used to identify such vulnerable libraries. However, these scanners require the user to install and mainta...

LCDs are a growing commodity in today’s market with products as diverse as children’s toys to medical devices. Modern LCDs, along with the graphics displayed on them, are growing in complexity. A graphics library can simplify and accelerate development while creating the desired user experience. TI provides the MSP430 Graphics Library for use in developing products with the MSP430TM MCU. This a...

In this chapter the fundamental aspects involved in biological treatment processes applied for the removal of nitrogen from wastewaters are described. A comprehensive review of the literature is provided including kinetic, microbiological and biochemical aspects of nitrification, denitrification and anammox, as well as key operational parameters affecting the processes. This information is rele...
