Letter from Hayao (Sam) Chuman to the American Friends Service Committee
No full textA letter from Hayao (Sam) Chuman to the American Friends Service Committee, donating a portion of his redress check from the U.S. government to the Committee.The Chuman (Hayao "Sam" and Toshiko) Papers documents the World War II experiences of Hayao "Sam" and Toshiko Chuman, who were Kibei Nisei born in the United States but grew up and completed school in Japan, and then returned to the U.S. prior to the war. It chronicles the Chuman's incarceration from the Santa Anita Assembly Center, through Jerome, Rohwer, Tule Lake camps, and the Santa Fe and Crystal City internment camps as well as their struggle for restoring their U.S. citizenships in the 1960s. The digital collection consists of mostly textual material, including correspondence, affidavits, incarceration camp records, lease agreements, financial documents, receipts, pamphlets, and booklets

WaveScript: A Case-Study in Applying a Distributed Stream-Processing Language
No full textApplications that combine live data streams with embedded, parallel,and distributed processing are becoming more commonplace. WaveScriptis a domain-specific language that brings high-level, type-safe,garbage-collected programming to these domains. This is made possibleby three primary implementation techniques. First, we employ a novelevaluation strategy that uses a combination of interpretation andreification to partially evaluate programs into stream dataflowgraphs. Second, we use profile-driven compilation to enable manyoptimizations that are normally only available in the synchronous(rather than asynchronous) dataflow domain. Finally, we incorporatean extensible system for rewrite rules to capture algebraic propertiesin specific domains (such as signal processing).We have used our language to build and deploy a sensor-network for theacoustic localization of wild animals, in particular, theYellow-Bellied marmot. We evaluate WaveScript's performance on thisapplication, showing that it yields good performance on both embeddedand desktop-class machines, including distributed execution andsubstantial parallel speedups. Our language allowed us to implementthe application rapidly, while outperforming a previous Cimplementation by over 35%, using fewer than half the lines of code.We evaluate the contribution of our optimizations to this success
Sam "Kangaroo"
No full textabstract: Sam left Sudan when he was six years old. He also witnessed many people die when they tried to cross the Gilo river.
“Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 23Region: Upper Nile (Bor)This picture and bio was donated to the "Lost Boys Found" oral history project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente

Izvori informacija u dostupnim EBSCO bazama podataka za istraživanja u visokom školstvu u Srbiji = Academic research in Serbia and available database resources
No full textUniversities in Serbia have access to large amounts of quality information through online full text databases. Specific details regarding the world’s two most comprehensive full text research data-bases, Academic Search Premier and Business Source Premier are provided. The paper examines which databases are strongest in each discipline, and covers issues such as the availability of journals most-cited, full text formats, peer-review status, embargo periods, backfills, and other important facets. Additional information depicts reasons for tremendous increase in the availability of information in the Serbia, and the value that these resources bring to researchers in universities
Scoop: An Adaptive Indexing Scheme for Stored Data in Sensor Networks
No full textIn this paper, we present the design of Scoop, a system for indexing and querying stored data in sensor networks. Scoop works by collecting statistics about the rate of queries and distribution of sensor readings over a sensor network, and uses those statistics to build an index that tells nodes where in the network to store their readings. Using this index, a users queries over that stored data can be answered efficiently, without flooding those queries throughout the network. This approach offers a substantial advantage over other solutions that either store all data externally on a basestation (requiring every reading to be collected from all nodes), or that store all data locally on the node that produced it (requiring queries to be flooded throughout the network). Our results, in fact, show that Scoop offers a factor of four improvement over existing techniques in a real implementation on a 64-node mote-based sensor network. These results also show that Scoop is able to efficciently adapt to changes in the distribution and rates of data and queries
