Jekyll is a high level programming language that can be translated losslessly to and from human readable, human editable C. This makes it possible to maintain Jekyll and C versions of the same file, with any changes made to one file being automatically reflected into the other. By being losslessly inter-translatable with C, Jekyll reduces the switching costs normally associated with moving to a...

PURPOSE Comparison of imaging measurement devices in the absence of a gold-standard comparator remains a vexing problem; especially in scenarios where multiple, non-paired, replicated measurements occur, as in image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). As the number of commercially available IGRT presents a challenge to determine whether different IGRT methods may be used interchangeably, an unmet need ...

Vernonia galamensis Cass is a huge potential industrial crop with very high content of vernolic acid in the seed oil. The experiment was carried out to determine the effect of inter- and intra- row spacing on the yield and yield related traits of Vernonia galamensis Cas.The experiment was conducted for two years during 2014-2015 on experimental field of Wondo Genet Agricultural research center,...

box Whereas the development of diagnostic technologies has greatly accelerated, the methodology of diagnostic research still lags behind that of evaluation of treatment. Diagnostic research appears to be more comprehensive and complex than treatment research as it evaluates the connection between diagnostic and prognostic assessment with choosing optimal interventions. Objectives of diagnostic ...

We present a study on two key characteristics of human syntactic annotations: anchoring and agreement. Anchoring is a well known cognitive bias in human decision making, where judgments are drawn towards preexisting values. We study the influence of anchoring on a standard approach to creation of syntactic resources where syntactic annotations are obtained via human editing of tagger and parser...

The notion of a log structured file system (LFS) [6, 9] evolved from earlier efforts using similar techniques [8, 2] as a means to improve write performance of file systems. Other benefits include faster metadata operations, e.g. file create and delete. But there is controversy about the the utility of LFS for database systems, especially in light of the critique in [10]. This position paper ar...

In this study, six Arctic sea ice thickness products are compared: the AVHRR Polar Pathfinder-extended (APP-x), ICESat, CryoSat-2, SMOS, NASA IceBridge aircraft flights, and the Pan-Arctic Ice Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS). The satellite products are based on three different retrieval methods: an energy budget approach, measurements of ice freeboard, and the relationship betwe...

A graph $G$ is called $P_4$-free, if $G$ does not contain an induced subgraph $P_4$. The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is the polynomial $D(G,x)=sum_{i=1}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. Every root of $D(G,x)$ is called a domination root of $G$. In this paper we state and prove formula for the domination polynomial of no...
