The tyranny of embodiment
Contemporary virtual worlds insist on replicating physical embodiment.

Punctual Until as a scalar NPI
The paper offers an analysis of punctual “until” that links together its truth conditional and presuppositional content with its status as a polarity item by incorporating scalarity into its meaning.

Timing the Occurrence of Randomly Spaced Events using $V_{T}$ Shift in Disordered Semiconductors
This paper discusses the concept of using threshold voltage shift ($V_{T}$ shift) in disordered semiconductors based thin film transistors to measure the time of occurrence of randomly spaced events of interest.

Whatever: free choice and uncertainty
I show that these implications are a special case of free choice effects and arise as a result of the types of alternatives -ever free relatives are associated with and the enriched meaning contributed by the alternatives.

Cross-media linking and tagging support for learning groups
We present a pen-based and tangible interaction concept for the linking and tagging of documents in a mixed physical and digital environment.

Cyber security technology usability and management
This chapter reviews recent results on designing systems that are usable, useful, and secure, and describes general principles important in the management of secure systems.

Efficient waypoint tracking hybrid controllers for double integrators using classical time optimal control
We present two methods, one which will track general way point specs, and another which will track waypoints that lie on convex or concave trajectories.

Image objects and multi-scale features for annotation detection
This paper investigates several issues in the problem of detecting handwritten markings, or annotations, on printed documents.

The interplay of materials in printed electronics
Here some of the aspects related to the gate dielectrics are discussed and device applications of printed electronics are presented.

Spatially modulated emission for point-of-care flow cytometer
In this presentation we will describe and illustrate a fundamentally new design of the optical detection system that delivers high effective sensitivity (i.e., high signal-to-noise discrimination) without complex optics or bulky, expensive light sources to enable a flow cytometer that combines high performance, robustness, compactness, low cost, and ease of use.

Efficient broadcast in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks with a realistic physical layer
We present an analytical model to show that the transmission radii used for nodes can be used to establish a tradeoff between minimizing energy consumption and ensuring network coverage.

Astronomical Sky Spectra from the 29-31 October 2003 Geomagnetic Superstorms: Observations of O(+)((2)D(O)-(4)S(O)) and Other Emissions
High-resolution spectra of the night sky at near-equatorial latitudes have been obtained with the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph on the 8.2 m Kueyen telescope, European Southern Observatory, Cerro Paranal, Chile, during the 29–31 October 2003 geomagnetic superstorms.
