With the rise of domain-specific languages (DSLs), research in language implementation techniques regains importance. While DSLs can help to manage the domain’s complexity, it is rarely affordable to build highly optimizing compilers or virtual machines, and thus, performance remains an issue. Ideally, one would implement a simple interpreter and still reach acceptable performance levels. RPyth...

abstract- desert truffles are hypogeous ascomyceteous ectomycorrhizal fungi, occurring in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. a pcr-based method was developed for the identification of 3 major desert truffles of iran: terfezia claveryi, tirmania pinoyi and tirmania nivea based on internal transcribed spacers of rdna. two specific pcr primers were designed for t. claveryi, 4 for t. pinoyi, and 2 for ...
