Concurrent C (C++) is a parallel superset of C (C++). Versions of Concurrent C have now been implemented for a variety of uniprocessors and multiprocessors. We first implemented a uniprocessor version of Concurrent C correctly anticipating that it would be relatively easy to extend the uniprocessor implementation to run on multiprocessors. Concurrent C is translated to C. The generated C code c...

background: photorefractive keratectomy is a popular mean to correct refractive errors of the eye and haze formation is one of the most important complications of the surgery. although standard dose of intraoperative mitomycin c has shown to be effective in reduction of this complication, potential side effects of mitomycin c promote us to show if the lower concentration of mitomycin c has t he...

We describe a full implementation of algebraic effects and handlers as a library in standard and portable C99, where effect operations can be used just like regular C functions. We use a formal operational semantics to guide the C implementation at every step where an evaluation context corresponds directly to a particular C execution context. Finally we show a novel extension to the formal sem...

The ANSI-C Standard de nes Stdio as the I/O library for C programs. Despite its ubiquitous use, Stdio has well-documented de ciencies in various areas including data formatting. The S o library provides an alternative to Stdio with improved functionality, robustness and performance. In particular, S o extends the data formatting functions so that applications can deal with arbitrary scalar obje...

This report describes a set of matrix vector routines Level BLAS and matrix matrix routines Level BLAS written in C These routines have been included in Mark of the NAG C Library and are used by other library routines in that library Details are given of the implementation testing and use of the routines and a complete listing of all the ANSI C function prototypes is included in the Appendix Th...

Let G be a compact definable C group and 1 ≤ r < ∞. Let X be an affine definable CG manifold and X1, . . . , Xk definable CG submanifolds of X such that X1, . . . , Xk are in general position in X. Suppose that f : X → R is a G invariant proper surjective submersive definable C function such that for every 1 ≤ i1 < · · · < is ≤ k, f |Xi1 ∩ · · · ∩ Xis : Xi1 ∩ · · · ∩ Xis → R is a proper surject...

This paper proposes the use of data on expectations to identify the role of news shocks in business cycles. This approach exploits the fact that news shocks cause agents to adjust their expectations about the future even when current fundamentals are not affected. Using data on expectations, we estimate a dynamic, stochastic, general equilibrium model that incorporates news shocks for the U.S. ...

A large body of evidence has emerged in recent studies confirming that macroeconomic factors play an important role in determining investor risk premia and the ultimate path of equity returns. This paper illustrates how widely tested financial and economic variables from these studies can be employed in a time varying dynamic sector allocation model for U.S. equities. The model developed here i...

An “investment bubble” is a period of “excessive, and predictably unprofitable, investment”(DeMarzo, Kaniel and Kremer, 2007, p.737). Such bubbles most often accompany the arrival of some new technology, such as the tech stock boom and bust of the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. We provide a rational explanation for investment bubbles based on the dynamics of learning in highly uncertain environm...
