This paper describes an initial implementation of an in terac t ive programming assistant system called the Programmer's Apprent ice (PA). The PA. is designed to be midway be tween an improved programming methodology and an automatic programming sys tem. The intent ion is that the programmer wil l do the hard par ts of design and implementation while the PA wil l assist him wherever possible. O...

Food processing and consumption by herbivores are affected differently the availability of forage quality quantity per unit time. This demonstrates “Allometric response concept”, it is considered a significant determinant in habitat use for foraging grazers. The relevance this approach has comprehensively been applied to different body sizes, but little known about its demonstration explain pat...

by Peter Bui With the growing amount of computational resources available to researchers today and the explosion of scientific data in modern research, it is imperative that scientists be able to construct data processing applications that harness these vast computing systems. To address this need, I propose applying concepts from traditional compilers, linkers, and profilers to the constructio...

Descr ipt ion logic-based configurat ion applications have been used w i t h i n A T & T since 1990 to process over two and a half b i l l ion dollars wor th of orders. Whi le this fami ly of applications[4] has widely acknowledged importance, it is di f f icul t to use for pedagogical purposes since the typical product configured is a highly interconnected, complicated technical piece of equip...

Seventy-six prepubertal children receiving autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) were enrolled in a prospective study on the impact of different pretransplant preparative regimens on growth. Patients were divided into three groups: group 1, consisting of 37 children who had received total body irradiation (TBI) and cytotoxic drugs as preparative regimen; group II, including...

MOTIVATION Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play an important role in understanding biological processes. Although recent research in text mining has achieved a significant progress in automatic PPI extraction from literature, performance of existing systems still needs to be improved. RESULTS In this study, we propose a novel algorithm for extracting PPIs from literature which consists of...

A kinetic study of the effect of added HMPA cosolvent on the reaction of 2-lithio-1,3-dithiane (1), bis(phenylthio)methyllithium (2), and bis(3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenylthio)methyllithium (3) with methyloxirane (propylene oxide), N-tosyl-2-methylaziridine, and the several alkyl halides (BuCl, BuBr, BuI, allyl chloride) was carried out. Widely varied rate effects of HMPA on these SN2 substituti...

In this paper, we concentrate on the expressive power of hierarchical structures in neural networks. Recently, the so-called SplitNet model was introduced. It develops a dynamic network structure based on growing and spl i t t ing Kohonen chains and it belongs to the class of topology preserving networks. We briefly introduce the basics of this model and explain the different sources of informa...
