ARE TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS CONTRACTIONARY?
, 2002
"... Yes. We construct a measure of aggregate technology change, controlling for imperfect competition, varying utilization of capital and labor, and aggregation effects. On impact, when technology improves, input use falls sharply, and output may fall slightly. With a lag of several years, inputs retur ..."

Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code
, 1999
"... As the application of object technology--particularly the Java programming language--has become commonplace, a new problem has emerged to confront the software development community.
Significant numbers of poorly designed programs have been created by less-experienced developers, resulting in applic ..."

Existing Software, renowned object technology mentor Martin Fowler breaks new ground, demystifying these master practices and demonstrating how software practitioners can realize the significant benefits of this new process
A Metrics Suite for Object Oriented Design
, 1994
"... Given the central role that software development plays in the delivery and application of information technology, managers are increasingly focusing on process improvement in the software development area. This demand has spurred the provision of a number of new and/or improved approaches to softwa ..."

The Protein Data Bank
- Nucleic Acids Res
, 2000
"... The Protein Data Bank (PDB; http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/ ) is the single worldwide archive of structural data of biological macromolecules. This paper describes the goals of the PDB, the systems in place for data deposition and access, how to obtain further information, and near-term plans for the futur ..."

deposited. In the 1980s the number of deposited structures began to increase dramatically. This was due to the improved technology for all aspects of the crystallographic process, the addition of structures determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods, and changes in the community views about data
No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering
- IEEE Computer
, 1987
"... Of all the monsters that fill the nightmares of our folklore, none terrify more than werewolves, because they transform unexpectedly from the familiar into horrors. For these, one seeks bullets of silver that can magically lay them to rest. The familiar software project, at least as seen by the nont ..."

costs do. But, as we look to the horizon of a decade hence, we see no silver bullet. There is no single development, in either technology or in management technique, that by itself promises even one order-of-magnitude improvement in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity. In this article, I shall
On limits of wireless communications in a fading environment when using multiple antennas
- Wireless Personal Communications
, 1998
"... Abstract. This paper is motivated by the need for fundamental understanding of ultimate limits of bandwidth efficient delivery of higher bit-rates in digital wireless communications and to also begin to look into how these limits might be approached. We examine exploitation of multi-element array (M ..."

Specifically, we present some basic information theory results that promise great advantages of using MEAs in wireless LANs and building to building wireless
Summaries of Affymetrix GeneChip probe level data

The Case for Energy-Proportional Computing
"... Energy-proportional designs would enable large energy savings in servers, potentially doubling their efficiency in real-life use. Achieving energy proportionality will require significant improvements in the energy usage profile of every system component, particularly the memory and disk subsystems. ..."
