Notation as a tool of thought
TLDR
The importance of nomenclature, notation, and language as tools of thought has long been recognized and did much to stimulate and to channel later investigation in chemistry and in botany.Abstract:
The importance of nomenclature, notation, and language as tools of thought has long been recognized. In chemistry and in botany, for example, the establishment of systems of nomenclature by Lavoisier and Linnaeus did much to stimulate and to channel later investigation. Concerning language, George Boole in his Laws of Thought [1, p.21] asserted "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review how a few fundamental array concepts lead to a simple and powerful programming paradigm for organizing, exploring and analysing scientific data, and their evolution into a flexible interoperability layer between increasingly specialized computational libraries is discussed.

User Interface Management Systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a DEVICE-DEVICE DEVC DEVICE DEVICE (Device-Device-Device Discrete Controller) for autonomous driving systems and demonstrated its performance.

An Operational Approach to Requirements Specification for Embedded Systems
TL;DR: The approach to requirements specification for embedded systems described in this paper is called "operational" because a requirements specification is an executable model of the proposed system interacting with its environment, embodied by the language PAISLey, which is motivated and defined herein.

Brain abscesses in neonates. A study of 30 cases
TL;DR: The absence of initial seizures, sterile cerebrospinal fluid, normal ventricles on CT scans, and early aspiration of the abscess seem to be factors portending a better prognosis in terms of epilepsy and mental sequelae.

A Programming Language
TL;DR: The paper describes a succinct problem-oriented programming language that relies heavily on a systematic extension of a small set of basic operations to vectors, matrices, and trees, and on a family of flexible selection operations controlled by logical vectors.
