Operating System-level virtualization, also known as a container, is an increasingly popular approach to isolating applications that use the same underlying OS kernel [2, 5–7]. Containers have recently gained popularity as the default back-end for Docker, an application packaging and distribution system used by companies including Google [3]. The purported reason to use containers over a hardwa...

Computing technology has evolved dramatically from the 20th century to the 21st century. This was a period of accelerating changes for the IT industry and all of its supporting technologies and industries, The IT industry has gone from isolated and complex computing system environments (glass rooms) to personal computing and mobile environments in a distributed fashion at a rapid rate through a...

Component-based programming systems have shown themselves to be a natural way of constructing extensible software. Well-defined interfaces, encapsulation, late binding and polymorphism promote extensibility, yet despite this synergy, components have not been widely employed at the systems level. This is primarily due to the failure of existing component technologies to provide the protection an...

Autoepistemic (AE) logic is a formal system characterizing agents that have complete introspective access to their own beliefs. AE logic relies on a fixed point definition that has two significant parts. The first part is a set of assumptions or hypotheses about the contents of the fixed point. The second part is a set of reflection principles that link sentences with statements about their pro...

This paper reports an attempt to determine the segmentation of glides using existing knowledge about tonal alignment as reference. It is found that the likely onset of a glide is much earlier than what is acoustically the most obvious, i.e., the point where the formants reach their extremes. It is further found that there is indication that the point of formant extremes may in fact be the point...

The earliest sources relevant for our subject date back as early as the predynastic period, that is about 3000 B.C. In this epoch (and still later), the goddess Neith* played an important role in the Egyptian pantheon. Two attributes are typical for Neith: the Lower Egyptian Red Crown on her head and arrow and bow in her hand. Therefore, Neith originally was not only a goddess of the not (hern ...

Does the visual perception of glides require a d y n a m i c representation? In our previous experiments on the visual perception of rounding, we argued against the mandatory status of dynamic representations for visual vowels. In this paper, we focus on a specifically temporal contrast between the French vowel [y] and the corresponding [ÿ] glide. Results are twofold. First: for subjects who us...

The concept of Erd} os number is well known among mathematicians and somewhat known more generally (see, for example, de Castro & Grossman, 1999] or the web site Paul Erd} os, who died in late 1996, was a mathematician who was author or coauthor|most often the latter|of nearly 1500 papers and had nearly 500 coauthors. By deenition, Erd} os had Erd} os number zero, his collaborators had Erd} os ...

Sir,?The ' os naviculare manus '* and the ' os naviculare pedis '* are two bones in the human body serving homologous functions and having analogous positions; the term ' navicular' being common to both, confusion is possible. Generally the prefix and suffix of the ' naviculare' are omitted, the adjuncts of distinction being dispensed with, and the bone being called the ' navicular bone' for al...
