A Preliminary Investigation

Background and Purpose Research has identified a number of factors associated with poststroke recovery, but the prediction of long-term functional outcome remains an uncertain endeavor. In previous work, extinction to tactile, doublesimultaneous stimulation has been shown to have short-term predictive utility. The present study was designed to examine its long-term prognostic value and to deter...

Pharmacognostic and Preliminary Phytochemical Investigation on Doronicum scorpioides Roots

A Preliminary Investigation of Precision vs

Replication and voting have been used extensively for providing fault tolerance in many types of systems. In this abstract, we briefly investigate their capability to improve accuracy, or precision, of results. We also discuss trade-offs between precision and fault tolerance degree that can be achieved through adjustment of replication degree and/or voting algorithm. These capabilities are illu...

Social Movements and NGOs: A Preliminary Investigation

Introduction to the debate This paper aims to explore the potential dynamics and tensions bound up in the engagement of Northern NGOs with Southern social movements. While there appears to be a general assumption amongst the Northern NGO community that these movements are the natural allies of development agencies working on issues of poverty, exclusion and sustainable development in the South,...

Preliminary Investigation of the RAMpage Memory Hierarchy

The RAMpage memory hierarchy addresses the growing concern about the memory wall – the possibility that the CPU-DRAM speed gap will ultimately limit the benefits of rapid improvement in CPU speed. Reducing references to DRAM is an increasingly desirable goal as CPU speed improves relative to DRAM. As the cost of a DRAM reference increases, it makes increasing sense to consider options like pinn...
