Proceedings of the ACM/IEEE 42nd International Conference on Software Engineering: Software Engineering in Practice, 2020 Feature flags are commonly used in mobile app development and can introduce technical debt related to deleting their usage from the codebase. This can adversely affect the overall reliability of the apps and increase their maintenance complexity. Reducing this debt without imposing additional overheads on the developers necessitates the design of novel

Measuring the role of surface chemistry in silicon microphotonics [PDF]
, 2005 Utilizing a high quality factor (Q~1.5×10^6) optical microresonator to provide sensitivity down to a fractional surface optical loss of alphas[prime]~10^–7, we show that the optical loss within Si microphotonic components can be dramatically altered by ...
