Introduction The NIfTI-1 image format (http://nifti.nimh.nih.gov/dfwg) contains a field intent code which signals the interpretation of the data values in the file. A number of codes are defined that correspond to standard statistical distributions. My goal in this document is to specify what these codes refer to, and also to document the user-level sample C functions provided at the NIfTI webs...

The view that communication is a form of action serving a variety of speci c functions has had a tremendous impact on the philosophy of language and on computational linguistics Yet this mode of analysis has been applied to only a narrow range of exchanges e g those whose primary purpose is transferring information or coordinating tasks while exchanges meant to manage interpersonal relation shi...

A new language for describing musical scores as well as its interpreter is developed. The language allows a concise description of note and chord sequences, and at the same time, it provides rich programming functionalities with Clike syntax, which are useful for algorithmic composition. Representing structures in music such as repetitive occurrences of a common phrase or its variation is suppo...

This article reports the synthesis and characterization of a new binuclear complex of palladium (II) containing the antibiotic oxytetracycline. The complex was characterized by the usual techniques of analysis. With respect to sites of coordination, the IR spectral data suggests the involvement the oxygen of the amide group and the oxygen of the neighbor hydroxyl group at ring A and to the carb...

Embedding is the process of implementing a language by deening functions in an existing \host" language; the host language with these added functions is the new language. As a consequence, the new language comes equipped with all the features of the host language, with no additional work on the part of the language designer. Embedding works particularly well when the host language is a function...

We propose a Bayesian approach to test the New Keynesian Phillips Curve (NKPC) both as an exact relation and as a noisy/potentially misspecified model. We do so in order to reconcile the contradicting evidence that the NKPC is rejected by a Wald test but nevertheless it provides a good approximation of inflation dynamics. We apply the proposed approach to US and EMU data. When the NKPC is teste...

This article presents a case for significantly increasing the degree of compatibility between C and C++. The ideal proposed is full compatibility. This ideal is not trivially obvious nor technically easy to achieve. Therefore, arguments against full compatibility are presented as well as arguments for. A companion paper [Stroustrup,2002a] provides a ‘‘philosophical’’ view of the C/C++ relations...

This document describes experiences in the implementation of the Distributed Resource Management Application API (DRMAA) specification for the Condor workload management system. The document reports about issues that where identified during implementation and test of a DRMAA C library for Condor, which was evaluated successfully with the DRMAA working group compliance test for C bindings. We wi...

FGb is a high-performance, portable, C library for computing Gröbner bases over the integers and over finite fields. FGb provides high quality implementations of state-of-the-art algorithms (F4 and F5) for computing Gröbner bases. Currently, it is one of the best implementation of these algorithms, in terms of both speed and robustness. For instance, FGb has been used to break several cryptosys...
