Animal Welfare Inspection Guide The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual orientation, genetic information, political beliefs, reprisal, or because all or part of any individual’s income is derived from any public assistance program. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs). Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communciation of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA’s TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD). To file a complaint of discrimination, write to USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20250-9410, or call (800) 795-3272 (voice) or (202) 720-6382 (TDD).

  • The Naming of Birds by Nunamiut Eskimo

    The Naming of Birds by Nunamiut Eskimo

    THE NAMING OF BIRDS BY NUNAMIUT ESKIMO Laurence Irving* T IS rare for people of two different cultures to have as good an opportunity of comparingtheir knowledge as Simon Paneakand I had when I was learningI the Nunamiut Eskimo names for birds in the Anaktuvuk Pass region, interiorarctic Alaska. The scientific list of birds of that regionwhich I prepared provided me with a check on the completeness and accuracy of the Eskimo method of naming part of the local environment. Our relations were sufficiently close and prolonged so that we could both ascertain that we were designating the same birds by our Eskimo and English names. The English names of birds used in this study have been modified by convention of scientists to express taxonomic designations, and they are in no sense popular names. The Nunamiut names are those used by a small group of people to indicate birds in their environment.Having no knowledge of natural history in times or places outside their own small community’s exper- ience, weshould not seek in theNunamiut names forthe implications of scientific taxonomy. The Eskimo preserves hisnames withoutwriting or museum to serve his memory. We who depend upon written records marvel at the persistence of stable knowledge which can be fixed in oral records, but we should recall that a large degree of stability is inherent in speech. Anaktuvuk Pass leads approximately north and south through the centre of the BrooksRange. About onehundred miles north of thearctic circle thesouthern border of these mountains extends from the Yukon Territory to the western arctic coast of Alaska.
  • Optimization Coaching for Javascript

    Optimization Coaching for Javascript

    Optimization Coaching for JavaScript Vincent St-Amour1 and Shu-yu Guo2 1 PLT @ Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts, USA [email protected] 2 Mozilla Research San Francisco, California, USA [email protected] Abstract The performance of dynamic object-oriented programming languages such as JavaScript depends heavily on highly optimizing just-in-time compilers. Such compilers, like all compilers, can silently fall back to generating conservative, low-performance code during optimization. As a result, pro- grammers may inadvertently cause performance issues on users’ systems by making seemingly inoffensive changes to programs. This paper shows how to solve the problem of silent opti- mization failures. It specifically explains how to create a so-called optimization coach for an object-oriented just-in-time-compiled programming language. The development and evaluation build on the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine, but the results should generalize to a variety of similar platforms. 1998 ACM Subject Classification D.2.3 [Software Engineering]: Coding Tools and Techniques; D.3.4 [Programming Languages]: Processors—Compilers Keywords and phrases Optimization Coaching, JavaScript, Performance Tools Digital Object Identifier 10.4230/LIPIcs.ECOOP.2015.999 1 Optimization Coaching for the Modern World An optimization coach [22] opens a dialog between optimizing compilers and programmers. It thus allows the latter to take full advantage of the optimization process. Specifically, coaches provide programmers with actionable recommendations of changes to their programs to trigger additional optimizations. Notably, the changes may not preserve the semantics of the program. Our experiences with a prototype optimization coach for Racket show promising results. This prototype exploits Racket’s [9] simple ahead-of-time byte-compiler,1 which performs basic optimizations.
