We explore the potential of continuous local search (CLS) in SAT solving by proposing a novel approach for finding solution hybrid system Boolean constraints. The algorithm is based on CLS combined with belief propagation binary decision diagrams (BDDs). Our framework accepts all constraints that admit compact BDDs, including symmetric and small-coefficient pseudo-Boolean as interesting familie...

Soil is a composite material of great interest to civil engineers. When the quality such soils poor, ground improvement techniques must be adopted withstand design load superstructure. Existing soil stabilizers include lime and cement; however, their environmental safety sustainable use during stabilization have been receiving increasing attention in recent years. This study investigated granit...

This study is a part of a research effort to develop the Generic Use Interface Questionnaire (QUIS). Participants, 150 PC user group members, rated familiar software products. Two pairs of software categories were compared: 1) software that was liked and disliked, and 2) a standard command line system (CLS) and a menu driven application (MDA). The reliability of the questionnaire was high, Cron...

This can happen if the NCP is not running at all but its host is taking in messages (e.g. UCLA’s host will receive messages even if the NCP is not running), or if the NCP is running very slowly. The same problem exists on sending out a CLS control command and a matching CLS is never returned. The trouble is that resources are tied up, e.g. sockets, links and table space in the NCP; and one woul...

We show that the natural mathematical structure to describe a physical entity by means of its states and its properties within the Geneva-Brussels approach is that of a state property system. We prove that the category of state property systems (and morphisms), SP, is equivalent to the category of closure spaces (and continuous maps), Cls. We show the equivalence of the ‘state determination axi...

The etiology of sporadic bovine leukosis (SBL) is not known. Long-term monolayer cultures were made from calf (CLS), thymic (TLS) and skin (SLS) forms, and serological tests, electron microscopic observations and reverse transcriptase assays were employed for the detection of an etiological agent. Bovine leukosis virus (BLV) antigen and reverse transcriptase activities remained negative in cult...

The Stochastic Calculus of Looping Sequences is suitable to describe the evolution of microbiological systems, taking into account the speed of the described activities. We propose a type system for this calculus that models how the presence of catalysers and inhibitors can modify these speeds. We claim that types are the right abstraction in order to represent the interaction between elements ...

CLS Corporate Language Services AG recently began offering the rapid post-editing of raw machine translation output to meet the rising demand for this service among clients. What is meant by rapid post-editing is the rough correction of machine translated texts with emphasis on speed and denotative accuracy. In the preliminary phase of the project, CLS conducted a test among four inhouse transl...
