As the gap between memory and processor performance continues to grow, it becomes increasingly important to exploit cache memory e ectively. One technique used by compiler and linkers to improve the performance of the cache is code reordering. Code reordering optimizations rearrange a program so that sections of the program with temporal locality will be placed next to each other in the nal pro...

We demonstrate that in the context of statically typed pure functional lambda calculi, exceptions are strictly more powerful than call/cc. More precisely, we prove that the simply typed lambda calculus extended with exceptions is strictly more powerful than Girard's F ! [6, 15] (a superset of the simply typed lambda calculus) extended with call/cc and abort. This result is established by showin...

T here is a clear analogy between smoke detectors and child car seats. Both technologies have been enthusiastically embraced, and their widespread distribution has saved many thousands of lives. However, the issue of car seat misuse has led to a reevaluation of engineering and educational approaches for child occupant protection. It is time for a similar comprehensive reevaluation of smoke dete...

Abstract Even though recognised to be of increasing importance, robust estimations European farmers’ risk preferences are still scarce. Using an incentivised lab-in-the-field experiment with farmers, free learning bias, this paper analyses the structurally derived parameters based on cumulative prospect theory. The sector studied is apple and pear in Flanders, Belgium. Farmers found highly risk...

OBJECTIVES Older patients discharged from the emergency department (ED) have difficulty comprehending discharge plans and are at high risk of adverse outcomes. The authors investigated whether a postdischarge telephone call-mediated intervention by a nurse would improve discharge care plan adherence, specifically by expediting post-ED visit physician follow-up appointments and/or compliance wit...
