Hemant Pendse\u27s lab at the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at
No full textHemant Pendse\u27s lab at the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Maine in Orono has developed a way to extract sugars from wood pulp. The substance can be used to make bioplastics, biofuels, and possibly, renewable jet fuel. Research and development spending is declining in Maine despite policy changes and new funding channels for high-tech R&D. In 2008, only $18 million in venture capital was spent in R&D--an amount typically invested in Boston-based companies in a single hour. Catherine Renault, director of the Maine Office of Innovation and author of the 2010 Science and Technology Action Plan, says Maine companies need to join forces to bring ongoing R&D to market.

Interprocedural Reaching Definitions in the Presence of Single Level Pointers
No full textThis paper describes the rst algorithm that calculates Interprocedural Def-Use Associations in C software systems. Our algorithm accounts for program-point-specic pointer-induced aliases, although it is currently limited to programs using a single level of indirection. We prove the NP-hardness of the Interprocedural Reaching Denitions Problem and point out the approximation made by our polynomial-time algorithm. Initial empirical results are also presented.Technical report LCSR-TR-19
Toward better regulation of private pension funds
No full textThe author analyzes the typical model for regulating investments in private pension funds. Pension reforms like those pioneered by Chile are being initiated or considered in Argentina, Bolivia, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Hungary, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and elsewhere. Such reforms greatly improve fiscal discipline, make social security benefits and burdens equitable, and deepen financial markets. But they are also typically accompanied by: tight restrictions on the investments in pension fund portfolios; restrictions on the management of mandated retirement savings (to newly created legal entities called pension administrators, to the exclusion of such financial intermediaries as banks and mutual funds); minimum-return guarantees from the state and/or pension funds; and commissions based on salary rather than on the volume of assets managed. Illustrating his conclusions with case studies from Chile and Peru, the author shows that these restrictions, though well-meant, are poorly justified by financial theory, distort incentives for competition based on product choice and efficiency, increase administrative costs, and seriously reduce the affiliates'appropriate risk-return choices and returns. And the resulting potential losses in retirement income are great. The author recommends a significant departure from the Chilean-style model of a private pension fund system. He briefly describes implementation and transition issues for the alternative system that he proposes, which would: permit diverse intermediaries -including banks and mutual funds that meet appropriate prudential standards- to manage retirement savings; allow a greater choice between investment products; require that returns be reported on a net basis; and charge commissions as a fraction of assets managed.Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Economic Theory&Research,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Environmental Economics&Policies,Insurance&Risk Mitigation,Pensions&Retirement Systems,Environmental Economics&Policies,Insurance&Risk Mitigation,Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Theory&Research

Are there synergies between World Bank partial credit guarantees and private lending?
No full textSince 1994, the World Bank has provided partial credit guarantees to private financiers of several large infrastructure projects in developing countries. A major objective of the partial guarantee program is to leverage Bank resources so as to provide developing countries with better private credit terms. A real test of the efficacy of World Bank partial credit guarantees is whether they also lower the interest rate and lengthen the effective maturity of the part of the credit not covered by the World Bank guarantee. On the basis of deals closed so far, the author finds no evidence that guarantees have affected nonguaranteed interest rates favorably, while the duration of the nonguaranteed credits remains relatively short.International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Theory&Research,Strategic Debt Management,Financial Crisis Management&Restructuring,Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Theory&Research,Strategic Debt Management,Insurance&Risk Mitigation
Static Type Determination for C++
No full textStatic type determination involves compile time calculation of the type of object a pointer may point to at a particular program point during some execution. We show that the problem of precise interprocedural type determination is NP-hard in the presence of inheritance, virtual methods and pointers. We highlight the signicance of type determination in improving code eciency and precision of other static analyses. We present a safe, approximate algorithm for C++ programs with single level pointers, using the conditional analysis technique [LR91]. We discuss the generalization of our approach to analyze programs with multiple levels of pointer dereferencing.Technical report LCSR-TR-197-
Static type determination and aliasing for C++
No full textDetermining the type of an object to which a pointer may point at a statement during execution is the goal of static type determination. We prove NP-hardness of type determination and aliasing for C++. We show the interdependence of the two problems for general-purpose pointers and present a polynomial approximation algorithm to solve the combined problem. We include empirical results to demonstrate the feasibility of our analysis.Technical report lcsr-tr-250-
