Fatigue is a pervasive, protective phenomenon affecting the totality of the individual. Assessment and management involve a wide range of activities to address the total human being's physical, psychological, cognitive, and spiritual dimensions. When elimination or neutralization of the effect of an antecedent condition is not an option, redesigning one's life-style may be the primary avenue of...

This paper deals with the refinement of software architectures. Using an example transformation of an architectural pattern from a call-return style to a batch-sequential one, it is shown that sometimes an advancement of a software architecture is not a correct refinement relation in the formal sense. However formal analysis may and should be used to argument about the changed and unchanged pro...

We examine the relationship between deviating from benchmark and subsequent performance for hedge funds. propose a simple new measure of deviations, termed dispersion contribution index, which is based on fund's return-distance mean return same-style find that funds deviate most their tend to underperform relative less distinctive peers, after accounting risk profile various fund characteristic...

Guided by history, the model considers two risk-sharing institutions each of complements an existing social structure. The …rst is a ‘Chinese’ style, lineage-based institution: members choose technology base...

We present a detailed account of the processing that occurs within a biologically-inspired model for visual homing. The Corner Gradient Snapshot Model (CGSM) initially presented in [1] was inspired by the snapshot model [2] which provided an algorithmic explanation for the ability of honeybees to return to a place of interest after being displaced. The concept of cellular vision is introduced a...

Functional programming is a programming paradigm like object-oriented programming and logic programming. Functional programming comprises both a specific programming style and a class of programming languages that encourage and support this programming style. Functional programming enables the programmer to describe an algorithm on a high-level, in terms of the problem domain, without having to...

This paper describes a parser which generates parse trees with empty elements in which traces and fillers are co-indexed. The parser is an unlexicalized PCFG parser which is guaranteed to return the most probable parse. The grammar is extracted from a version of the PENN treebank which was automatically annotated with features in the style of Klein and Manning (2003). The annotation includes GP...
