Efficient Spherical Harmonic Transforms aimed at pseudo-spectral numerical simulations
In this paper, we report on very efficient algorithms for the spherical
harmonic transform (SHT). Explicitly vectorized variations of the algorithm
based on the Gauss-Legendre quadrature are discussed and implemented in the
SHTns library which includes scalar and vector transforms. The main
breakthrough is to achieve very efficient on-the-fly computations of the
Legendre associated functions, even for very high resolutions, by taking
advantage of the specific properties of the SHT and the advanced capabilities
of current and future computers. This allows us to simultaneously and
significantly reduce memory usage and computation time of the SHT. We measure
the performance and accuracy of our algorithms. Even though the complexity of
the algorithms implemented in SHTns are in (where N is the maximum
harmonic degree of the transform), they perform much better than any third
party implementation, including lower complexity algorithms, even for
truncations as high as N=1023. SHTns is available at
https://bitbucket.org/nschaeff/shtns as open source software.Comment: 8 page

Laparoscopic Endoscopic Cooperative Surgery: Current Status and Perspective
Laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) is now performed worldwide as a result of the invention of new operative techniques. It is seromuscular resection by laparoscopy for gastric submucosal tumors such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Endoscopic dissection of the mucosal to the submucosal layer determines the appropriate incision line, resects the tumor, and closes the visceral wall defect. Various minimally invasive LECS techniques are now well established. LECS-associated techniques, adaptation of them, and challenges for the future are reviewed in this chapter
WHO PAYS FOR ROAD VIOLENCE? RETHINKING ROADS, CYCLING, AND TORT LAW
Road violence is now commonplace in North American cities. However, it has not always been like this. During the advent of the automobile, every road death was a source of outrage. It was concerted action from the motor industry, organized into the self-named “motordom,” that managed to shift the blame of the deaths. With the new perception that cars had the right to the roads, victims of road violence would start sharing that blame with drivers in the popular opinion. This shift affected law, including tort law. Before the advent of the motor vehicle, cycling law was an area of legal studies, called the “law of wheelmen.” It was put aside after the automobile, with the creation of road traffic laws clearly centred on motorized vehicles. Common law courts, facing tort claims arising from road violence, remained loyal to the negligence principle. This thesis explores alternatives to the classical car-centred understanding of tort law in Ontario. With an advocacy-oriented approach, it focuses on collisions involving bicycles and motor vehicles, with the intent of providing solutions that result in better distribution of the burden caused by automobiles on road safety. A comparative lens was used in order to find and analyze better options in other jurisdictions
