The barrowing rights of various members are tabled with lending period respectively. Books can be called back during the loan period, if there is demand from another user. Consecutive renewals of any particular copy of a bound journal by the same borrower over a long period of time may not be allowed. However, a book may be re- issued to a borrower if there is no demand for it from other members. The library generally issues overdue notices, but failure to receive such a notice is not sufficient reason for non-return of overdue books or journals etc. Additionally, through Book Bank Service SC, ST, Scholarship, and rank holder students are eligible for borrowing 5 books per semester over and above the listed eligibility.

  • Oral History of Fernando Corbató
    Oral History of Fernando Corbató Interviewed by: Steven Webber Recorded: February 1, 2006 West Newton, Massachusetts CHM Reference number: X3438.2006 © 2006 Computer History Museum Oral History of Fernando Corbató Steven Webber: Today the Computer History Museum Oral History Project is going to interview Fernando J. Corbató, known as Corby. Today is February 1 in 2006. We like to start at the very beginning on these interviews. Can you tell us something about your birth, your early days, where you were born, your parents, your family? Fernando Corbató: Okay. That’s going back a long ways of course. I was born in Oakland. My parents were graduate students at Berkeley and then about age 5 we moved down to West Los Angeles, Westwood, where I grew up [and spent] most of my early years. My father was a professor of Spanish literature at UCLA. I went to public schools there in West Los Angeles, [namely,] grammar school, junior high and [the high school called] University High. So I had a straightforward public school education. I guess the most significant thing to get to is that World War II began when I was in high school and that caused several things to happen. I’m meandering here. There’s a little bit of a long story. Because of the wartime pressures on manpower, the high school went into early and late classes and I cleverly saw that I could get a chance to accelerate my progress. I ended up taking both early and late classes and graduating in two years instead of three and [thereby] got a chance to go to UCLA in 1943.

  • Interpretation of Molecule Conformations from Drawn Diagrams” by Dana Tenneson, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2008
    Abstract of \Interpretation of Molecule Conformations from Drawn Diagrams" by Dana Tenneson, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2008. In chemistry, molecules are drawn on paper and chalkboards as diagrams consisting of lines, letters, and symbols which represent not only the atoms and bonds in the molecules but concisely encode cues to the 3D geometry of the molecules. Recent efforts into pen-based input methods for chemistry software have made progress at allowing chemists to input 2D diagrams of molecules into a computer simply by drawing them on a digitizer tablet. However, the task of interpreting these parsed sketches into proper 3D models has been largely unsolved due to the difficulty in making the models satisfy both the natural properties of molecule structure and the geometric cues made explicit in the drawing. This dissertation presents a set of techniques developed to solve this model construction problem within the context of an educational application for chemistry students. Our primary contribution is a framework for combining molecular structure knowledge and molecule diagram understanding via augmenting molecular mechanics equations to include drawing-based penalty terms. Additionally, we present an algorithm for generating molecule models from drawn diagrams which leverages domain- specific and diagram-driven heuristics. These heuristics make our process fast and accurate enough for molecule diagram drawing to be used as an interactive technique for model construction on modern Tablet PC computers.

  • Oral History Interview with Bernard A. Galler
    An Interview with BERNARD A. GALLER OH 236 Conducted by Enid H. Galler on 8, 10-11, and 16 August 1991 Sutton's Bay, MI Ann Arbor, MI Charles Babbage Institute Center for the History of Information Processing University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Copyright, Charles Babbage Institute 1 Bernard A. Galler Interview 8, 10-11, and 16 August 1991 Abstract In this wide-ranging interview, Galler describes the development of computer science at the University of Michigan from the 1950s through the 1980s and discusses his own work in computer science. Prominent subjects in Galler's description of his work at Michigan include: his arrival and classes with John Carr, research use of International Business Machines (IBM) and later Amdahl mainframe computers, the establishment of the Statistical Laboratory in the Mathematics Dept., the origin of the computer science curriculum and the Computer Science Dept. in the 1950s, interactions with Massachusetts Institute of Technology and IBM about timesharing in the 1960s, the development of the Michigan Algorithm Decoder, and the founding of the MERIT network. Galler also discusses Michigan's relationship with ARPANET, CSNET, and BITNET. He describes the atmosphere on campus in the 1960s and early 1970s and his various administrative roles at the university. Galler discusses his involvement with the Association for Computing Machinery, the American Federation of Information Processing Societies, the founding of the Charles Babbage Institute, and his work with the Annals of the History of Computing. He describes his consultative work with Israel and his consulting practice in general, his work as an expert witness, and his interaction with the Patent Office on issues surrounding the patenting of software and his role in the establishment of the Software Patent Institute.
