The features interdisciplinary noted practical implementation systematic relation to complex training programs f...

In politics as in history, masters accomplish great things, but often, lowly beings such as servants perform those tasks. At times, they subvert them. In science, servant-beings are frequently described as demons and angels. Who are these effective agents? This essay traces parts of the large historical network of persons and places in which ‘little helpers’ service their master’s will. It look...

This paper describes my experience with teaching courses on software modeling and design to undergraduate and graduate (Masters and PhD) students, in addition to in-depth short courses to industry. The undergraduate course is an introductory software engineering course, which includes lectures on software modeling and design. The Masters course is a detailed course on software modeling and desi...

The thesis aims at extending the capabilities of devices and enabling cooperation, i.e., data connection sharing, among users who may or may not necessarily be related to or know each other. To achieve this objective as well as to validate the results of our theoretical analysis, we developed a smart-phone application for data connection sharing. By means of data connection sharing, users may i...

Solution: The ring F [x] of polynomials with coefficients in a field F is a P.I.D. Each prime ideal is generated by a monic, irreducible polynomial. Assume there are only a finite number of prime ideals generated by the polynomials f1, . . . , fn and let f(x) = 1+f1(x) · · · fn(x). No fi divides f , hence f is also irreducible. This contradicts the assumption that all the prime ideals were gene...

Accumulating evidence argues that aging exerts a profound influence on epigenetics, and vice versa. A pair of studies by Merkwirth et al. and Tian et al. now provide insights on how mitochondrial stress experienced by C. elegans larvae propagates a specific and persistent epigenetic response that protects adult cells and extends lifespan.
