Does OO sync with the way we think?
No full textGiven that corrective-maintenance costs already dominate the software life cycle and look set to increase significantly, reliability in the form of reducing such costs should be the most important software improvement goal. Yet the results are not promising when we review recent corrective-maintenance data for big systems in general and for OO in particular-possibly because of mismatches between the OO paradigm and how we think
SayMore: Language documentation productivity
No full textLanguage Documenters quickly amass a large number of original recordings and artifacts based on them. We need to manage recordings, document informed consent, transcribe, translate, enter metadata, convert file formats, and, finally, submit to a digital archive. Along the way, we need to keep all these files well-organized and labeled. And we must keep track of the goals of the project in order to emerge with the desired coverage in areas such as genre, spontaneity, and the social roles of the speaker. We have powerful software for parts of this workflow, including Arbil, Elan, and EXMARaLDA. However, many of these tools appear best-suited for rather computer-savvy linguists, or those who can attend training courses. Recent linguistic software including WeSay (Albright and Author 2007) and FOLKER (Schmidt and Schütte 2010) have demonstrated that we can involve a wider spectrum of participants by using software with a task-focused interface that prioritizes clarity and efficiency over flexibility. In compensation, such software needs to emit data files that can be opened in more complex/powerful applications for further work. This paper presents SayMore (http://saymore.palaso.org), a new software tool that streamlines the collection and annotations of recordings. Currently, SayMore eases the collecting of media files from a recording device, the addition of metadata, transcription, and, perhaps uniquely, oral annotation (respeaking and translation). All time-aligned data is stored in ELAN XML format, so that projects needing to go beyond SayMore’s built-in annotation capability can do so easily. For interlinearization, SayMore can export to FLEx, Toolbox, and other formats. For sharing with the community, SayMore produces subtitled videos. For archiving, it has built-in capability to convert file formats to those appropriate for long-term accessibility. Finally, the paper describes how SayMore helps researchers monitor progress towards project goals along several axes, including genre, spontaneity, and which workflow steps have been completed

2nd Place: An Appreciation for Angst
No full textThis is Gianina Hatton\u27s submission essay, annotated bibliography, and annotated wishlist for the 2017 John and Margaret Class Student Book Collection Contest, which won second place.
Gianina is a freshman at Chapman University, majoring in Communications.
From the author: This collection is something very close to me, the characters in these novels and the music included have been with me since middle school. I have collected these books off of dying thrift stores and pristine Barnes and Noble’s. The protagonists in them are seemingly the worst characters: flawed, depressed, even selfish at times, but at the end of the day they are relatable
N-version Design vs. One Good Version
No full textEvidence indicates that n-version development techniques are more reliable than producing one "good" version-and cost effective in the long run. The author concludes that diverse, independent channels used in parallel are significantly superior to even the current state of the art, especially in situations where cost of failure is high

Nanoemulsions: formation, properties and applications
No full textNanoemulsions are kinetically stable liquid-in-liquid dispersions with droplet sizes on the order of 100 nm. Their small size leads to useful properties such as high surface area per unit volume, robust stability, optically transparent appearance, and tunable rheology. Nanoemulsions are finding application in diverse areas such as drug delivery, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and material synthesis. Additionally, they serve as model systems to understand nanoscale colloidal dispersions. High and low energy methods are used to prepare nanoemulsions, including high pressure homogenization, ultrasonication, phase inversion temperature and emulsion inversion point, as well as recently developed approaches such as bubble bursting method. In this review article, we summarize the major methods to prepare nanoemulsions, theories to predict droplet size, physical conditions and chemical additives which affect droplet stability, and recent applications.Eni S.p.A
