Sommario/riassunto

Almost weightless and able to pass through the densest materials with ease, neutrinos may offer answers to questions ranging from relativity and quantum mechanics to more radical theories about dark energy and supersymmetry. Heinrich Päs serves as our fluent guide to a



particle world that tests the boundaries of space, time, and human knowledge.

Sommario/riassunto

This book, complete with online files and updates, covers a hugely important area of study in computing. It constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages, PADL 2008, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in January 2008. The 20 revised full papers along with the abstract of 1 invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. The papers address all current aspects of declarative programming.
