Curry is a multi-paradigm declarative language aiming to amalgamate functional, logic, and concurrent programming paradigms. Curry combines in a seamless way features from functional programming and (concurrent) logic programming. Curry's operational semantics is based on the combination of lazy reduction of expressions together with a possibly non-deterministic binding of free variables occurr...

the current study aims to measure the efficiency of primary health care units completed in health sector of rural azad jammu and kashmir (ajk) and to compare it across developed and deprived regions.operational efficiency and beneficiary efficiency of a total of 32 basic health units (bhus) were measured through data envelopment analysis (dea) by using different input and output variables. inde...

This note has been prepared by the Physical Aspects Section of the Research Department at ECMWF. ECMWF is an operational centre for medium range weather forecasting, monthly forecasting, seasonal forecasting and ocean wave forecasting. The operational system is also used for re-analysis projects (ERA-15, ERA-40 and ERA-Interim). ECMWF operates a state of the art global atmospheric model with an...

Goossens defined a structural operational semantics for a subset of VHDL-87 and proved that the parallelism present in VHDL is benign. We extend this work to include VHDL-93 features such as shared variables and postponed processes that change the underlying semantic model. In the presence of shared variables, non-deterministic execution of VHDL-93 processes destroys the unique meaning property...

• Need for intensified processes in biopharmaceutics increased interest SPTFF. SPTFF has advantages compared to TFF e.g. easier operate and monitor. The use of cellulose or polysulfone membranes is critical, depends on application. Cleaning cost can be higher than operation cost, so a good fouling plan needed. This mini-review reviews applications SPTFF, particularly bioprocessing. biopharmaceu...

In this paper, we introduce a new fragment of the first-order temporal language, called the monodic fragment, in which all formulas beginning with a temporal operator (Since or Until) have at most one free variable. We show that the satisfiability problem for monodic formulas in various linear time structures can be reduced to the satisfiability problem for a certain fragment of classical first...

Recent work proposed defining type-safe macros via interpretation into a multi-stage language. The utility of this approach was illustrated with a language called MacroML, in which all type checking is carried out before macro expansion. Building on this work, the goal of this paper is to develop a macro language that makes it easy for programmers to reason about terms locally. We show that def...

Recent work on the syntax and semantics of functional projections within the noun phrase has had as one goal an explanation for the crosslinguistic distribution of “bare” (determinerless) noun phrases. This article provides an account for an apparent anomaly: the relatively free occurrence of bare noun phrases under coordination. We argue that this construction involves coordination of projecti...

Lexical and dynamic scoping are the two primary approaches to variable binding in functional programming languages. While medieval Lisp dialects commonly featured dynamic scoping, most languages today emphasize lexical scoping. This is a sensible choice: lexical scoping enables local reasoning about programs at the source code level. Nonetheless, dynamic variables are more appropriate for certa...
