Euler gave recipes for converting alternating series of two types, I and II, into equivalent continued fractions, i.e., ones whose convergents equal the partial sums. A condition we prove irrationality a fraction then allows easy proofs that \(e,\sin 1\), primorial constant are irrational. Our main result is that, if type II to simple fraction, sum transcendental its measure exceeds 2. We const...

This study is an examination of features of the four most popular digital library open source software packages against a set of predetermined criteria that is deemed to be essential for the development of a digital library. While analysing and identifying the similarities, differences, strengths, and weakness of the open source software packages, it is indicated that open source digital librar...

There art some library software systems available for large-scale libraries.in the market. For instance. MfNISIS [IDRC75] on HP3000, ATLAS [DRA76] on Vax8800, URICA [AWA78] on Microdata and VTLS [HP751 on HP3000. We introduce a small-scale library -circulation system, called ILRCS (Interactive Library Resources Circulation System). It has been designed and implemented on tht V~X/VMS 11-785 mini...

We investigate the problem of a collaborative digital library collection that allows librarians and non-librarians alike to share information on specific topics through MARC records. Many existing software tools for creating bibliographic records are not platform independent. Tools that are platform independent are integrated into library software and therefore cannot be used with any existing ...

To offer theses electronically to its users is something that has been discussed in Swiss university libraries for some time now. There are two main reasons that it has not yet been realized anywhere in Switzerland: On the one hand, the two large university library networks have had big library system migrations to cope with (first the „Réseau Romand” in the French speaking part moved to VTLS, ...

The growing market of multi-media applications requires development of complex embedded systems with significant data-path portions. However, current hardware synthesis and software optimizations tools and methodologies do not support arithmeticlevel optimizations necessary for data intensive applications. In particular, most highlevel synthesis tools cannot automatically synthesize data paths ...

This paper describes the design and implementation of high performance numerical software in Java. Our primary goals are to characterize the performance of object-oriented numerical software written in Java and to investigate whether Java is a suitable language for such endeavors. We have implemented JLAPACK, a subset of the LAPACK library in Java. LAPACK is a high-performance Fortran 77 librar...

introduction: direct and rapid access to information is one of the main necessities of the users in new technological world. nowadays, information users, particularly medical information in which rapid access is of necessity, do not have enough time to search and access to information. therefore, the present study aimed to determine strategies to access required information as soon as possible....
