The Naval Space Surveillance Center NAVSPASUR uses an analytic satellite motion model based on the Brouwer Lyddane theory to track objects orbiting the Earth In this paper we develop several parallel algorithms based on this model These have been implemented on the INTEL iPSC hypercube multi computer The speed up and e ciency of these algorithms will be obtained We show that the best of these a...

Loss of (Fisher) information, whose concept was de ned by Fisher, is one of important measures of asymptotic e ciency. Based on Fisher information, this paper studies fourth and fth order asymptotic e ciency of estimators in a curved exponential family of distributions with a structural parameter vector. In particular, we show that the bias-corrected MLE with a certain bias correction factor is...

Time dependent partial di erential equations are often solved using algorithms which parallelize the solution process in the spatial domain. However, as the number of processors increases, the parallel e ciency is limited by the increasing communication/computation ratio. Recently, several researchers have proposed algorithms incorporating temporal domain parallelism in order to increase e cien...

The comparison of the AES candidates should take into consideration the security and the e ciency of the ciphers. However, due to di erent design methodology, the ciphers were developed in di erent emphasis of the importance of security and e ciency. In this paper we propose measures to compare the AES candidates under the same security assumptions. These measures reduce the e ect of the di ere...

The constraint propagation process is a powerful tool for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). We propose a filtering technique which exploits at best this tool in order to improve the pruning e ciency. This technique, combining domain partition and arc consistency, generalizes and improves the pruning e ciency of the arc consistency, and the singleton arc consistency filtering tech...

Advances in technology equip tra c domain with instruments to gather and analyze data for safe and fuele cient traveling. This article elaborates on the e↵ects from taxi drivers route selection on fuel e ciency. We fuse real driving behavior data from taxi cabs, weather, and digital map information for fuel consumption prediction. That way we compare actually driven trips and their quickest and...

The paper studies the role of information transparency on fairness concerns, welfare and e ciency. When the rm's productivity and ultimately pro ts are revealed, wage o ers induce relatively fair divisions of potential gains and workers respond with higher performance. Workers respond not only to wages but also to rms' intentions concerning fairness. Information transparency serves as a mechani...

Epistemic trustworthiness is defi ned as a complex character state that supervenes on a relation between fi rstand second-order beliefs, including beliefs about others as epistemic agents. In contexts shaped by unjust power relations, its second-order components create a mutually supporting link between a defi ciency in epistemic character and unjust epistemic exclusion on the basis of group me...
