Hermite subdivision algorithms are mainly designed to interpolate functional values and associated derivatives. These schemes process non-scalar data (functional values and derivatives), and can be rewritten as non-stationary vector algorithms, although their non-stationarity is of a very specific kind. In this talk we present new families of approximating subdivision schemes derived from inter...

A Postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Stephen A. Osmani at the Weis Center for Research to study cell cycle regulation (see EMBO J 1995 14 986-994 and 995-1003). Experience in genetics or molecular biology or biochemistry a plus but a strong publication record most important. Please send CV, copies of publications and names of three references to: Postdoctoral Position Gastr...

This paper describes a concept to support scalable multicast communications for small audio / video conferencing groups in the Internet. The solution presented in this paper is based on extensions of IPv6 and the session description protocol (SDP). A goal of the concept called Multicast for Small Conferences (MSC) is the smooth deployment in the Internet. 1. Scalable Multicast Techniques Teleco...

xvii This volume constitutes the twentieth IJCAI conference.

We seek candidates studying fundamental cellular processes at the molecular level. At this time we plan to fill several positions with individuals whose research interests involve prokaryotic or yeast systems. Successful applicants will be expected to develop an independent research program using modern biochemical and molecular biological techniques to address a significant problem at the mole...

Five behaviorological features of programmed instruction are outlined: behavioral objectives, reinforcement, activity rate: high and relevant, successive approximation, and mastery progression. Each of these topics is explained, and examples are given to illustrate the differences between programmed instruction and the more common 'transmission' model of teaching. A final section provides sugge...

Conference Mining has been an important problem discussed these days for the purpose of academic recommendation. Previous approaches mined conferences by using network connectivity or by using semantics-based intrinsic structure of the words present between documents (modeling from document level (DL)), while ignored semantics-based intrinsic structure of the words present between conferences. ...

Until the late'80s, the Gordon Research Conferences were regarded as the premier research meetings in biology, but their prestige has declined rapidly in recent years. The unique position occupied by the Gordon Conferences in American (and indeed international) science makes this decline a matter of concern to the entire community. What is the cause of the problem, and what can be done about it...
