As you requested in your letter of September 25, 2003, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has evaluated the Department of Defense’s response to your request that it examine alternative strategies for acquiring 100 Boeing KC-767A tanker aircraft. According to the department’s analysis, implementing the options described in its response would save from $0.8 billion to $5.5 billion in acquisiti...

On May 15th of this year, I provided you with preliminary findings from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study of issues related to submarine programs now under review by the Congress. In that earlier letter, I addressed the near-term savings that would result from a decision not to fund completion of the third Seawolf submarine. After briefly reviewing those savings, the accompanying atta...

We document a parallel non-recursive beam search GPGPU FCA CbO like algorithm written in nVidia CUDA C and test it on software module dependency graphs. Despite removing repeated calculations and optimising data structures and kernels, we do not yet see major speed ups. Instead GeForce 295 GTX and Tesla C2050 report 141 072 concepts (maximal rectangles, clusters) in about one second. Future imp...

the present study is concerned with the simultaneous optimization of the size of components and the arrangement of connections for performance-based seismic design of low-rise spsws. design variables include the size of beams and columns, the thickness of the infill panels, the type of each beam-to-column connection and the type of each infill-to-boundary frame connection. the objective functio...

Abstract The joint detection of gravitational waves and the gamma-ray counterpart a binary neutron star merger event, GW170817, unambiguously validates connection between short bursts compact object (CBO) mergers. We focus on special scenario where produced by CBO mergers are embedded in disks active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we investigate γ -ray emission internal dissipation region via synchrot...

Introduction: Research related to alternative medicine from natural ingredients that can relieve the effects of inflammation is important, especially reduce unwanted side antiinflammatory drugs. Cinnamomum burmannii (Nees & T. Nees) Blume a native Indonesian species which contains essential oils and reported for its anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, this research was conducted determine meta...

Computing formal concepts is a fundamental part of Formal Concept Analysis and the design of increasingly efficient algorithms to carry out this task is a continuing strand of FCA research. Most approaches suffer from the repeated computation of the same formal concepts and, initially, algorithms concentrated on efficient searches through already computed results to detect these repeats, until ...

New firms are believed to have high closure rates and these closures are believed to be failures, but two U.S. Census Bureau data sources illustrate that these assumptions may not be justified. The Business Information Tracking Series (BITS) showed that about half of new employer firms survive beyond four years and the Characteristics of Business Owners (CBO) showed that about a third of closed...

In this paper we describe and evaluate some recently innovated coupling metrics for object oriented OO design The Coupling Between Objects CBO metric of Chidamber and Kemerer C K are evaluated empirically using ve OO systems and compared with an alternative OO design metric called NAS which measures the Number of Associations between a class and its peers The NAS metric is directly collectible ...
