Exploiting locality is a central goal of translating problem-oriented parallel programming languages for distributed memory parallel machines. Modula-2* places the burden of automatically deriving good data and process distribution on the compiler. In this paper we present a technique implemented in our optimizing compiler that enhances locality in a source-to-source transformation. Analysis of...

Bergeron had support from NSERC-Canada and FCAR-Qu ebec. We outline an approach for the computation of a good candidate for the generating function of a power series for which only the first few coefficients are known. More precisely, if the derivative, the logarithmic derivative, the reversion, or another transformation of a given power series (even with polynomial coefficients) appears to adm...

We explore a connection of the deterministically forced Burgers equation for local velocity fields with probabilistic solutions of the Schrödinger boundary data problem. An issue of deducing the most likely interpolating dynamics from the given initial and terminal probability density data is here investigated to give account of the perturbation by external electromagnetic fields. A suitable ex...

The paper deals with transformation algorithms for decomposing Boolean neural networks (NNs); this being done with a view to possible VLSI implementation of NNs using threshold gates (TGs). We detail a possible tree decomposition for COMPARISON, and show how this can be used for the decomposition of Boolean functions (BFs) belonging to FN,m – the class of BFs of N variables that have exactly m ...

This work presents the results of the implementation on Multi-MATLAB of a speckle reduction algorithm for SAR images using the wavelet transform. Speckle reduction is important for automatic target recognition and classiication algorithms. The method is based on the application of a logarithmic transformation to the image to convert the speckle noise into additive noise. Noise is reduced by app...

This paper tries to examine the Granger causality between electricity consumption per capita and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita for India using annual data covering the period 1950–51 to 1996–97. Phillips–Perron tests reveal that both the series, after logarithmic transformation, are non-stationary and individually integrated of order one. This study finds the absence of long-run equil...

A statistical comparison of different BSP tests was carried out in normal subjects and in patients with various degrees of chronic liver damage. Only the logarithm of the BSP retention correlated linearly with the physiologically more meaningful determination of the maximal excretory capacity of the liver (BSP Tm, Wheele's method). A double logarithmic transformation was required to correlate t...

∂-étale topology is introduced for analytic spaces with boundary as an analog of étale topology for schemes. A locally projective elliptic fibration is bimeromorphically considered as a torsor in the ∂-étale topology of the associated basic elliptic fibration. The related ∂-étale cohomology groups have much information on the structure of elliptic fibrations. In particular, an answer to Ueno’s ...

Consistency retrieval from a biased relative preference table is an imperative task in decision theory This paper considers the least squares approximation of a pairwise comparison matrix by consistent matrices It is observed that the highly nonlinear manifold of consistent matrices can be changed into a linear subspace by the component wise logarithmic transformation A rst order optimality con...

A simple method to determine the toxicity of fungicides on male gametophyte in Brassica campestris subsp. oleiferae is described. The calculation of fungicide concentration used in the test is derived from doses used in field application. The expression of regression curves and calculation of regression equations require the logarithmic transformation of fungicide concentration. The range of th...
