The Chair of the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Data Engineering (TCDE) is elected for a two-year period. The mandate of the current Chair, David Lomet, expires at the end of this year and the process of electing a Chair for the period 2013-2014 has begun. A Nominating Committee consisting of Paul Larson and Masaru Kitsuregawa has been struck. The Nominating Committee invites nomi...

In this paper, we present a theory of synchronous data-ow languages. Our theory is supported by both some heuristic analysis of applications and some theoretical investigation of the data-ow paradigm. Our model covers both behavioural and operational aspects, and allows both synchronous and asynchronous styles of implementation for synchronous programs. This model served as a basis to establish...

We contend that Paul consciously alludes to Deut. 9-10; 29-30 and to Jer. 31:30-34 in Rom. 2:1-16. These allusions shape and inform Paul’s discourse and, therefore, provide a new approach to old exegetical questions, such as, the rhetorical nature of vv. 6-11 and whether vv. 13-16 refer to ‘Gentile Christians’. On the basis of our intertextual approach we assert that: (1) Romans 2 is essentiall...

The Swiss spallation neutron source SINQ at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) has been in operation since 1996 using an optical guide system to transport low-energy neutrons from the beam lines. Clear signs of degradation motivated us redesign all guides, which were then replaced 2019–2020. All instruments received new tailored guides and was resumed July 2020. Neutron flux measurements before afte...

2 Acknowledgments Writing a master's thesis can sometimes be a lonesome activity, I therefore feel privileged to be able to thank the following people. First of all I want to thank Kees Koster and Paul Vitt anyi for their experienced guidance and interest during the writing of this thesis. I also thank Andr e Berthiaume for giving me a ``rst hand' introduction in quantum computing, his knowledg...
