The main modes of behavior of a food chain model, composed of logistic prey and Holling type II predator and superpredator, are discussed in this paper. The study is carried out through bifurcation analysis, alternating between a normal form approach and numerical continuation. The two-parameter bifurcation diagram of the model contains Hopf, fold and transcritical bifurcation curves of equilib...

A 2 2 clocked buuered switch is a device used in data-processing networks for routing messages from one node to another. The message handling process of this switch can be modelled as a two-server, time slotted, queueing process with state space the number of messages (xn; yn) present at the servers at the end of a time slot. The (xn; yn)-process is a two-dimensional nearest-neighbour random wa...

This study is an application of neutrosophy to the dynamics of love, the most interesting social phenomena. The love dynamics were studied earlier by Strogatz (Strogatz, 1994), Radzicki (Radzicki, 1993), Rapport (Rapport, 1960), etc. Although Strogatz’s model (Strogatz, 1994) was originally intended only to motivate students, it makes several interesting and plausible predictions, and suggests ...

This rapport summarize the work that was done this last 6 month at ICSI in speaker recognition and speaker adaptation.

The input workload of an irregular application must be evenly distributed among its threads to enable cutting-edge performance. To address this need in OpenMP, several loop scheduling strategies were proposed. While having this ever-increasing number of strategies at disposal is helpful, it has become a non-trivial task to select the best one for a particular application. Nevertheless, this cha...

Several  studies  have  indicated  that  the  range  and  linguistics  expressions  of  external modifiers  available  in  one  language  differ  from  those  available  in  another  language.  The present study aims to investigate the cross-cultural differences and similarities with regards to  the  realization  of  request  external  modifications.  To  this  end,  30  Iraqi  and  30  Malay u...

It is well known that a convolutional code can be viewed as a linear system over a nite eld. In this paper we develop this viewpoint for convolutional codes using several recent innovations from the systems theory literature. In particular we deene codes as behaviors of a set of compact support time trajectories over a vector space. We also consider several diierent representations of codes, in...

Notions of hospitality, community, and the fostering of rapport and connection are foundational concerns for conducting research across difference. Drawing on methodological literature, this paper considers how access to various communities and “good” data is structured by the notion that in order to develop rapport researchers accept the “food”, specifically “meat” offered by their hosts. When...

This chapter examines the way online language users enhance social interaction and group collaboration through the computer mediated communication (CMC) channel. For this, discourse analysis based on the linguistic politeness theoretical framework is applied to the transcripts of a real time online chat. Analysis of the data shows that online participants employ a variety of creative devices to...
