Methods is partial evaluation cross-sectional cost-description conducted based on data referred university between March July The were collected by e...

The Krivine machine is a simple and natural implementation of the normal weak-head reduction strategy for pure λ-terms. While its original description has remained unpublished, this machine has served as a basis for many variants, extensions and theoretical studies. In this paper, we present the Krivine machine and some well-known variants in a common framework. Our framework consists of a hier...

In this paper we discuss the construction, features, and current uses of the PARC 700 DEPBANK. The PARC 700 DEPBANK is a dependency bank containing predicate-argument relations and a wide variety of other grammatical features. It was semi-automatically produced and boot-strapped from the output of a deep parser: this allowed for greater consistency of analysis and for more rapid construction.

We describe the smallest incision cataract removal technique, Microphakonit, in which bimanual phacoemulsification can be performed with a 0.7 mm phaco tip and 0.7 mm irrigating chopper. Cortical removal is done using 22 gauge or 0.7 mm irrigation/aspiration instruments. The technique was used for 25 adult human eyes with grade 2 nuclear sclerosis and 5 adult human eyes with grade 3 nuclear scl...

Breast conserving surgery with adjuvant radiation therapy is supported by mult iple clinical t rials as being a safe alternative to total mastectomy. 2 Outlined by Arm I of RTOG Protocol 1005, 1 one current standard of care for external beam radiation (EBRT) is delivery of 50 Gray (Gy) in 25 fract ions to the whole breast with a sequential 12 Gy photon or electron boost to the post-lumpectomy b...

schemic stroke is the most feared complication of atrial brillation, and many studies have investigated strategies to educe cerebral embolism. Anticoagulation with warfarin is emarkably effective in reducing the risk of ischemic stroke mong patients with chronic atrial fibrillation (1) and has ecome standard therapy. More recently, four randomized rials (2–5) have shown that a strategy of aggre...

A slice is constructed by deleting statements from a program whilst preserving some projection of its semantics. Since Mark Weiser introduced program slicing in 1979, a wide variety of slicing paradigms have been proposed, each of which is based upon a new formulation of the slicing criterion, capturing the semantic projection to be preserved during the process of command deletion. This paper s...
