The year 2015 marks the 750th birth anniversary of the Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). It is less known that Dante had a sound level of medical knowledge, probably derived by his academic studies. In his works, medieval notions of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology (e.g. the connection between brain and spinal cord, function of optic nerve and peripheral nerves, knowledge of vegetative ...

During spring 2000 we faced the question of how to design an Advanced Operating Systems Course at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos of Madrid. After browsing through the internet, we found that on most occasions, a not-so-advanced operating system was being usually used to teach such

Full-system simulation of systems comprising hundreds of microcontrollers, at the level of instruction execution, along with simulation of their peripherals, inter-device communication, power consumption and the like, can be tasking even on high-end workstations. To enable the partitioning of these simulations, which have a high degree of coarse-grained parallelism, over a network of workstatio...

In her article "Dante's Linguistic Detail in Shelley's Triumph of Life" Anita O'Connell analyzes Shelley's attention to detail in Dante's poetic style and presents a close textual analysis of the ways Shelley draws on the beauty of Dante's texts. When Dante's Divine Comedy re-emerged into the public sphere in Britain through Henry Cary's 1814 translation, his reputation was as a stern, dark, Me...

Esse um assunto Michel Foucault e, contemporaneamente, Giorgio Agamben exploram suas pesquisas livros. Trata...

One of the commonest abstractions in computer systems is that of the file. What clearly began as a metaphor for long-term storage of data has progressed to a fundamental, first-class resource-access mechanism in recent distributed Operating System design. This paper examines four publications related to this development: “Introduction and Overview of the Multics System” [1] and “A General-Purpo...
