A C++-embedded Domain-Specific Language for programming the MORA soft processor array
No full textMORA is a novel platform for high-level FPGA programming of streaming vector and matrix operations, aimed at multimedia applications. It consists of soft array of pipelined low-complexity SIMD processors-in-memory (PIM). We present a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for high-level programming of the MORA soft processor array. The DSL is embedded in C++, providing designers with a familiar language framework and the ability to compile designs using a standard compiler for functional testing before generating the FPGA bitstream using the MORA toolchain. The paper discusses the MORA-C++ DSL and the compilation route into the assembly for the MORA machine and provides examples to illustrate the programming model and performance
Till frågan om Mora ting : ett arkeologiskt perspektiv
No full textThe phenomenon of the medieval royal election thing of Mora, on the outskirts of Uppsala in central Sweden, is an under-researched topic from an archaeological viewpoint. With the archaeological material in focus, the author reviews the current state of research and offers a new hypothesis about the development of Mora as a non-continuous thing site with three phases: in the 500s, 1300s and1400s. It connects to long debated questions such as where in Mora the actual thing was located, why Mora was chosen to host this important ceremonial act, and how the semi-mythical “Stone of Mora” is to be understood
Low seismic resolution cannot explain S/P decorrelation in the lower mantle
No full textInverted models of the deep mantle show a decorrelation between maps of shear V(S) and compressional V(P) wave velocities, an anti-correlation between the bulk sound velocity V(phi) and V(S) and a much larger variability of V(S) with respect to V(P), expressed by large values of the ratio of their relative lateral variations. We carried out synthetic tests to verify if these features could be artifacts, explained by limits in tomographic resolution: synthetic data are calculated for an "input" model, and linearly inverted, as in tomography, to find an "output" model. Comparing the values of the aforementioned parameters for two different chemically homogeneous input models with the associated reconstructed output ones, we found that artifacts caused by realistic data noise and the nonuniform distribution of seismic sources and stations over the globe are not sufficient to introduce the features previously described. We confirm that compositional effects are required to explain them. Citation: Della Mora, S., L. Boschi, P. J. Tackley, T. Nakagawa, and D.

Nota introduttiva (saggi di Francesco Mora su Simmel)
No full textGeorg Simmel was undoubtedly the author to whom Francesco Mora, throughout his scholarly career, most frequently directed his critical attention. The four essays selected for this volume also testify to the continuity of his work on Simmel, from his debut essay in 1985 to the contributions devoted, more than thirty years later, to "The Meaning of Life and Conflict" (2018) and the expression "Forms of Life" (2018). The Venetian philosopher's hermeneutic objective, which will also be central to the two monographs, and, in particular, to the one on the "Principle of Reciprocity": to trace the apparently eclectic and panoramic nature of Simmelian work back to the common thread of a unitary interpretation

Convergence of equilibria of thin elastic plates under physical growth conditions for the energy density
No full textThe asymptotic behaviour of the equilibrium configurations of a thin elastic plate is studied, as the thickness of the plate goes to zero. More precisely, it is shown that critical points of the nonlinear elastic functional converge to critical points of the Γ-limit. This is proved under the physical assumption that the energy density blows up as the determinant of the deformation gradient becomes infinitesimally small
Author response
No full textDetecting pathogens and mounting immune responses upon infection is crucial for animal health. However, these responses come at a high metabolic price (McKean and Lazzaro, 2011, Kominsky et al., 2010), and avoiding pathogens before infection may be advantageous. The bacterial endotoxins lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are important immune system infection cues (Abbas et al., 2014), but it remains unknown whether animals possess sensory mechanisms to detect them prior to infection. Here we show that Drosophila melanogaster display strong aversive responses to LPS and that gustatory neurons expressing Gr66a bitter receptors mediate avoidance of LPS in feeding and egg laying assays. We found the expression of the chemosensory cation channel dTRPA1 in these cells to be necessary and sufficient for LPS avoidance. Furthermore, LPS stimulates Drosophila neurons in a TRPA1-dependent manner and activates exogenous dTRPA1 channels in human cells. Our findings demonstrate that flies detect bacterial endotoxins via a gustatory pathway through TRPA1 activation as conserved molecular mechanism.sponsorship: Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie Alessia Soldano Luis Franco Guangda Liu Natalia Mora Emre Yaksi Bassem A Hassanr Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0702.12 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0077.15 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0680.10 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0681.10 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0503.12 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0654.15 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0761.10N Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0596.12 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G.0565.07 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Alejandro Lopez-Requena Natalia Mora Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar KU Leuven GOA/14/011 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Luis Franco Alejandro Lopez-Requena Guangda Liu Natalia Mora Emre Yaksi Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar European Commission IUAP P7/13 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Luis Franco Alejandro Lopez-Requena Guangda Liu Natalia Mora Emre Yaksi Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekensr KU Leuven OT/12/091 Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Luis Franco Alejandro Lopez-Requena Guangda Liu Natalia Mora Emre Yaksi Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talaverar KU Leuven PF-TRPLe Alessia Soldano Yeranddy A Alpizar Brett Boonen Luis Franco Alejandro Lopez-Requena Guangda Liu Natalia Mora Emre Yaksi Thomas Voets Rudi Vennekens Bassem A Hassan Karel Talavera (Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0702.12, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0077.15, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0680.10, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0681.10, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0503.12, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0654.15, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0761.10N, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G.0596.12, KU Leuven|GOA/14/011, KU Leuven|OT/12/091, European Commission|IUAP P7/13, KU Leuven PF-TRPLe)status: Publishe
Otvoreno more s posebnim osvrtom na slobode otvorenog mora
No full textProstor otvorenoga mora uključuje dijelove mora i zračni prostor iznad njih koji se nalaze izvan granica nacionalne jurisdikcije obalnih država. Nijedna država u otvorenome moru nema isključivu vlast; što znači da ne može stjecati nijedan dio mora niti ga priključiti vlastitoj suverenosti. Sve su države nevezano uz to jesu li obalne ili neobalne jednake u pravu korištenja otvorenog mora. Otvoreno je more isključivo rezervirano za miroljubive svrhe. Temljna su obilježja pravnog režima: (1) Permisivnost: sve države slobodno uživaju prava uporabe otvorenoga mora te iskorištavaju njegova bogatstva, (2) Inkluzivnost prava: svaka država ostvaruje svoja prava do granice tih istih prava druge države u otvorenome moru. Neobalnim državama potrebno je osigurati slobodan pristup moru da bi mogle koristiti svoje prava i slobode na otvorenom moru. Položaj brodova na otvorenom moru: plove pod zastavom samo jedne države. Također, mogu ploviti i pod zastavom Ujedinjenih naroda, specijalizirane ustanove UN-a ili Međunarodne agencije za atomsku energiju ako su u službenoj uporabi tih organizacija. Pravo progona nastaje onda kada strani brod prekrši propise obalne države u morskim prostorima njene jurisdikcije. Pod jurisdikcijom obalne države, pravo progona ili pravo pregleda stranoga broda na otvorenome moru smije obavljati samo vojni zrakoplov, ratni brod ili ovlašteni zrakoplov i brod u državnoj službi. Pregled sloboda otvorenog mora: (1) sloboda plovidbe; (2) sloboda prelijetanja; (3) sloboda polaganja morskih kabela i cjevovoda; (4) sloboda podizanja umjetnih otoka; (5) sloboda znanstvenoga istraživanja te (6) sloboda ribolova. 29 Sloboda plovidbe predstavlja pravo svake države, obalne ili neobalne da brodovi koji plove pod njezinom zastavom neometano koriste otvoreno more te obvezu da se prilikom korištenja mora vodi računa o pravima i obvezama koje u otvorenomu moru imaju druge države te o interesima međunarodne zajednice koje predstavljaju cjelinu. Sloboda prelijetanja: prilikom samoga prelijetanja prostora otvorenoga mora na sve zrakoplove odnose se propisi prava mora koji uređuju zabranu piratstva i pravo progona. Pravo (slobodu) polaganja svojih podmorskih kabela i cjevovoda na dno otvorenoga mora izvan kontinentalnoga pojasa neke obalne države imaju sve države. Sloboda podizanja umjetnih otoka i drugih uređaja vrijedi za sve obalne i neobalne države, ali na dijelovima otvorenoga mora koji se ne nalaze iznad kontinentalnoga pojasa neke obalne države. Sloboda znanstvenoga istraživanja: koristi se na način da se istraživanja obavljaju isključivo u miroljubive svrhe u skladu s Konvencijom, važno je da se pritom poštuju posebno propisi o zaštiti i očuvanju morskog okoliša. Sloboda ribolova predstavlja pravo svake države da se njezini ribari bave ribolovom na prostoru otvorenoga mora (uz poštovanje ugovornih obveza i mjera zaštite i očuvanja živih bogatstava mora te vodeći računa o djelatnostima u Zoni). Najvažniji primjeri zloupotrebe sloboda otvorenoga mora su: nuklearni pokusi u moru i u atmosferi; pokusi s raketama dugoga dometa, pomorski manveri širokih razmjera
MORA - an architecture and programming model for a resource efficient coarse grained reconfigurable processor
No full textThis paper presents an architecture and implementation details for MORA, a novel coarse grained reconfigurable processor for accelerating media processing applications. The MORA architecture involves a 2-D array of several such processors, to deliver low cost, high throughput performance in media processing applications. A distinguishing feature of the MORA architecture is the co-design of hardware architecture and low-level programming language throughout the design cycle. The implementation details for the single MORA processor, and benchmark evaluation using a cycle accurate simulator are presented
