Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are at the forefront of advanced materials technology because of their light weight, high strength and toughness, high temperature capabilities, and graceful failure under loading. During the last 25 years, tremendous progress has been made in the development and advancement of CMCs under various research...
I first starting thinking about human/machine augmentations in 2000 when I started a company
focused in the Telco software space. Initially, I focused on how to enable wireless content
development, but at that time, devices were primitive. High speed networks hadn't fully taken
on in many areas of the U.S. for mobile networks...

With its rep for being the sort of machine that won't intimidate even the most inexperienced users, what's the appeal of the Mac® for hard-core geeks? The Mac has always been an efficient tool, pleasant to use and customize, and eminently hackable. But now with Mac OS® X's BSD core, many a Unix® developer has found it irresistible. The...
Concurrent processes can exhibit extremely complicated behavior, and
neither informal reasoning nor testing is reliable enough to establish their
correctness. In this thesis, we develop a new technique for the verification
of parallel programs. The technique is stated in terms of axioms and inference
rules, and it is used to prove...
