Extreme-scale computing is set to provide the infrastructure for the advances and breakthroughs that will solve some of the hardest problems in science and engineering. However, resilience and energy concerns loom as two of the major challenges for machines at that scale. The number of components that will be assembled in the supercomputers plays a fundamental role in these challenges. First, a...

The problems of inference are manifold: the first task facing the theorist concerned with them is to attempt an ordering of priorities, to decide which of them to tackle. One must assay not only the relative importance of the various problems but also the possibilities of achieving their successful solution; only then may the individual problems profitably be addressed. Historically, the majori...

We identify and illustrate five important kinds of Dialectical Examples, standard configurations of cases which enable an arguer to justify rhetorical assertions effectively by example. Our computer program generates Argument Contexts, collections of cases that instantiate Dialectical Examples from an on-line database of cases according to a user’s general specifications. The Argument Context g...

Over cosmic time the small uctuations in dark matter density in the early Universe grew via gravitational instability. Until recently our view of this process has been indirect, relying on radiation from the small baryonic component. If we could measure directly the development of these mass overdensities over a range of scales and look-back times, cosmology and the nature of the dark matter wo...

A software design is often modelled as a collection of UML diagrams. There is an inherent need to preserve consistency between these diagrams. Moreover, through evolution those diagrams get modified leading to possible inconsistency between different versions of the diagrams. State-of-the-art UML CASE tools provide poor support for consistency maintenance. To solve this problem, an extension of...

The International Food Policy Research Institute was established to identify and analyze alternative national and international strategies and policies for meeting food needs in the world, with particular emphasis on low-income countries and on the poorer groups in those countries. While the research effort is geared to the precise objective of contributing to the reduction of hunger and malnut...

Fabric defect detection is generally performed based on human visual inspection. This method not effective and it has various difficulties such as eye delusion labor cost. To deal with these problems, machine learning, computer vision-based intelligent systems have been developed. In this paper, a novel real-time fabric system proposed. The proposed industrial vision operated in loom. Firstly, ...

and relief in time of sickness?of their castes, their tenets, and their practices, and any one so disposed might glean from the Indian medical periodicals of the last half century materials for a very instructive essay on the subject. We hear, on the one hand, of a physician caste, learned in the traditions of a past era, holding as an heir-loom an empirical knowledge of remedies, which we shou...
