Simon Fraser University (SFU) aims to make a significant contribution to the study of electric vehicle (EV) utilization and power grid management by providing a comprehensive dataset [Simon Fraser University electric vehicle parking dataset (SFU-EVP)] of EV charging sessions since 2019. This dataset will be continually updated in the future. This extensive dataset presents valuable information on EV charging patterns, providing critical input for power grid planning, policy development, rate design, and infrastructure placement. It also offers opportunities to improve load forecasting, ensure grid stability, and improve the integration of renewable energy. Furthermore, data can facilitate research toward optimizing various vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services, including harnessing EVs as distributed energy storage systems. All data are stored in the commonly used and easily accessible comma-separated value (CSV) file format. By making this dataset publicly available, SFU has created a vital dataset that can drive further innovation and efficiency in EV technology and grid management, fostering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.

The recent excavations carried out by the Egypt Exploration Society at North Saqqara have brought to light a remarkable community. The site lies on a plateau of the western desert some 20 km. south of Cairo, more or less opposite the ruins of Memphis, the ancient capital, and consists of a series of temples dedicated to various gods of the Egyptian pantheon. Each god was also represented by a sacred animal or animals, and these, whether bulls, cows, birds or baboons, were mummified and stacked in galleries beneath the surface of the desert. In the last centuries B.C. this area, known generally as the Serapeum, became the focus for pilgrimage from all over the known world; and through its written records, as much as in its physical remains, the Serapeum represents a unique link between archaeology and religion.

On the occasion of commenting on the definitions of guṇas in the Nāṭyaśāstra, Abhinavagupta gives a full analysis of the scheme of twenty guṇas in Vāmana's Kāvyālaṃkārasūtravṛtti. A comparison of Vāmana's and Abhinavagupta's treatments of the guṇas pertaining to phonetic texture solves a number of problems in both texts: reference to Vāmana's remarks corrects several corrupt readings in the Abhinavabhāratī, and Abhinavagupta explains with greater precision than any other commentator the relevance of Vāmana's examples to his definitions, bringing out the importance of the relative aspects of the arrangement of sounds, and of transitions between different patterns of arrangement.

Method names with multiple separate parts are a feature of many dynamic languages derived from Smalltalk. Generalising the syntax of method names to allow parts to be repeated, optional, or alternatives, means a single definition can respond to a whole family of method requests. We show how generalising method names can support flexible APIs for domain-specific languages, complex initialisation tasks, and control structures defined in libraries. We describe how we have extended Grace to support generalised method names, and prove that such an extension can be integrated into a gradually-typed language while preserving type soundness.

The Thirtieth Dynasty biography and figure caption on the sarcophagus of the dwarf Djeho (Cairo CG 29307) and a passage from the sarcophagus of the high official Tjaiharpta (CG 29306) are presented in annotated translation. Djeho's longer text appears unique in being concerned more with the other-worldly destiny of another person, Tjaiharpta, than with Djeho himself. The two similar hard-stone sarcophagi were buried in a single tomb near the Sarapieion road at Saqqara, together with at least seven other people. The presentation of one person's merits through another is probably connected with Djeho's role in dancing at the mortuary ceremonies of the Apis and Mnevis bulls. Among other questions, the find raises issues of royal and non-royal patronage, of the location of tombs, the placing of biographies on sarcophagi, the use of intermediaries before the gods, and the implications of Tjaiharpta's partial deference to Djeho in relation to general conceptions of the person.

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have evolved from very specialized designs geared towards computer graphics to accommodate general-purpose highly-parallel workloads. Harnessing the performance that these accelerators provide requires the use of specialized native programminginterfaces, such as CUDA or OpenCL, or higher-level programming models like OpenMP or OpenACC. However, on managed programming languages, offloading execution into GPUs is much harder and error-prone, mainly due to the need to call through a native API (applicationprogramming Interface), and because of mismatches between value and reference semantics. The Fancier framework provides a unified interface to Java, C/C++, and OpenCL C compute kernels, together with facilities to smooth the transitions between these programming languages. This combination of features makes GPU acceleration on Java much more approachable. In addition, Fancier Java code can be directly translated into equivalent C/C++ or OpenCL C code easily, which simplifies the implementation of higher-level abstractions targeting GPU or parallel execution on Java. Furthermore, it reduces the programming effort without adding significant overhead on top of the necessary OpenCL and Java Native Interface (JNI) API calls. We validate our approach on several image processing workloads running on different Android devices.
