Data commentary, the verbal comment on visual material, is a complex area in science writing; yet, few studies in academic writing focus on it, and teaching material is often too generic to be of use for students. This chapter presents an approach to addressing the teaching and learning of data commentary in ESP writing courses within the science disciplines involving direct application of a small

We report on preliminary results from time-resolved optical spectroscopy of the He-rich variable white dwarf GD 358.

Engineering design problems are most frequently charac-terized by constraints that make them hard to solve and time-consuming. When evolutionary algorithms are used to solve these problems, constraints are often handled with the generic weighted sum method or with techniques specific to the prob-lem at hand. Most commonly, all constraints are evaluated at each generation, and it is also necessary

A Single-Ion Hit Facility (SIHF) consists of a custom-build facility based in particle accelerators which offers irradiation controlling the number of delivered particles with a precise targeting localization. The irradiation spot can be confined down to the nanometre scale allowing the irradiation of subcellular compartments with a single particle. Therefore, these facilities have become a very p

Thread-Level Speculation has been used to take advantage of multicore processors in virtual execution environments for the sequential JavaScript scripting language. While the results are promising the memory overhead is high. Here we propose to reduce the memory usage by limiting the checkpoint depth based on an in-depth study of the memory and execution time effects. We also propose an adaptive h

We present the characterization results of a new high resolution negative electron beam resist mr-L 6000.1 XP. The resist can also be used as imprintable polymer in nanoimprint lithography with sub-100 nm resolution. The feature size achieved after e-beam exposure was about 50 nm with sensitivity of 2-4 μC/cm². Studies of the resist properties as a function of chemical composition and d

Automating the synthesis of operating procedures for batch processes is very valuable as plant personnel often spend considerable amount of time and effort in preparing and verifying them for correctness and completeness. Towards this goal, a framework for automating operating procedure synthesis for batch processes is proposed in this paper. We propose an approach based on Grafcet, a discrete eve
