Understanding institutions: different paradigms, different conclusions

Meta-analysis: different methods--different conclusions?

Different estimation methods for covariance parameters in meta-analyses can result in conflicting p-values concerning the test of treatment effect. We propose a valid method to overcome this problem at least partially by introducing a new estimator for the standard deviation of the common treatment difference.

Different Paradigms for Pattern Recognition

Unifying Theories in Different Institutions

We investigate functorial relationships between the categories of theories in different institutions, namely adjunctions, as a means of translating between the different specification spaces that they provide. We show that there is a canonical way in which adjunctions between the categories of signatures can be lifted to the categories of theories. This lifting is associated with a duality betw...

A Comparison of Different Message - Passing Paradigms

We present experimental results for parallelizing two breadth-rst search-based applications on Thinking Machine's CM-5 by using two diierent message-passing paradigms, one based on send/receive and the other based on active messages. The parallelization of these applications requires ne-grained communication. Our results show that the active messages-based implementation gives signiicant improv...
