Google dominates around 92% of the search market worldwide (as November 2022), with most its revenue derived from advertising. However, Google's hegemony over and resulting implications are not necessarily accidental, arbitrary or (un)intentional. This article revisits Brin Page's original paper, drawing on six their key innovations, concerns design choices ( counting citations backlinks, trust...

Our ultimate goal is to help authors to find an elusive word. Whenever we need a word, we look it up in the place where it is stored, the dictionary or the mental lexicon. The question is how do we manage to find the word, and how do we succeed to do this so quickly? While these are difficult questions, I believe to have some practical answers for them. Since it is unreasonable to perform searc...

Lucy-n is a language for programming networks of processes communicating through bounded buffers. A dedicated type system, termed a clock calculus, automatically computes static schedules of the processes and the sizes of the buffers between them. In this article, we present a new algorithm which solves the subtyping constraints generated by the clock calculus. The advantage of this algorithm i...

An early onset idiopathic scoliosis refers to idiopathic deformity that presents itself from birth to ten years of age and includes an infantile type (identified from birth to three years of age) and a juvenile type (identified from three to ten years of age). In contrast to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (identified from ten years of age to the age of skeletal maturity), the juvenile idiopath...

Cameron has introduced a natural bijection between the set of one way infinite binary sequences and the set of sum-free sets (of positive integers), and observed that a sum-free set is ultimately periodic only if the corresponding binary sequence is ultimately periodic. He asked if the converse also holds. In this paper we present necessary and sufficient conditions for a sum-free set to be ult...
