Today’s DSP processors are so complex, it has become impossible to program them using assembly. To get the maximum performance out of the applications running on such devices very good compilers are needed. This paper analyzes the capabilities of those compilers by optimizing a compute-intensive 3D-image reconstruction algorithm on the TMS320C6701 (’C67) DSP processor from Texas Instruments. Be...

EPR spectroscopy, performed after site-directed spin-labeling, was used to study structural dynamics in a cold-adapted alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.1.1). Differences in the structural environment of six spin-labeled side chains allowed them to be classified (with reference to previously obtained mobility maps) as belonging to loop positions (either relatively surface exposed or in structural co...

In this paper we present new measures for the bias in an import price index due to outsourcing. The m easure is developed fi rst for a high ly simplif ied case for the purpose of conveying the rationale for the measure. It is then generalized, yielding a m eaasure that could b e used in empirical stu dies. Before taking up this bias measurement problem , however, we expl ain the m easurement co...

We report the crystallographic structures of the potent phosphoantigens Phosphostim (the bromohydrin of isopentenyl pyrophosphate) and E-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate bound to the mevalonate pathway enzyme isopentenyl pyrophosphate/dimethylallyl pyrophosphate isomerase (IPPI). Racemic Phosphostim forms covalent complexes with IPPI: a 4-thioether with C67 and a 4-ester with E116. O...

This paper addresses the question whether the results of input-output (IO) impact analyses differ (and to what extent) when a framework in current prices or in constant prices is used. We consider the effect of an exogenous stimulus of final demand in current prices on (a) gross output in constant prices, and (b) employment. In an empirical application to Denmark, we found that all predicted ef...

This study estimates the multi-component efficiency of banks under financial holding companies, including profitability and marketability efficiencies, by utilizing a RAM (Range-adjusted measure) variation model. The analysis process uses the three-dimensional BCG (Boston Consulting Group) matrix created by this study. We find that although semi-publicly-owned banks under financial holding comp...
