A Balancing Domain Decomposition by Constraints (BDDC) method is presented 13 for the solution of a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretization of a second-order 14 elliptic problem in two dimensions. BDDC was originally introduced in [8] for the 15 solution of continuous finite element discretizations. Mandel and Dohrmann [13] 16 later proved a condition number bound of κ ≤ C(1 + log(H/h))2 for...

A novel method to efficiently synthesize hardware from a large behavioral description in behavioral synthesis is proposed. For a program with functions executable in parallel, this proposed method determines a behavioral partitioning which simultaneously minimizes the overall datapath area and the complexity of the controller while maximizing performance of a synthesized circuit by fully exploi...

introduction: the aim of the present research was to conduct a meta-analysis on the effectiveness of play therapy studies on behavioral disorders in children. method: the method of this study was meta-analysis. twenty two studies from throughout iran (1996 to 2012) including 637 participants were used in this meta-analysis. data was analyzed using standardized mean difference effect size method...

Pharmacy administration is a comprehensive discipline in the pharmaceutical engineering filed, it is also a crossing edge subject generating from mutual cross effect of pharmacy, sociology, economics, law, management and behavioral sciences ect. This subject has wide coverage and substantial content, and it almost involves in all fields of pharmacy and all organizations of pharmacy administrati...

This paper presents a constrained decomposition methodology for discrete-event models. Partial models are obtained and used for model-based fault detection and isolation. The constraints of the decomposition ensures that the resulting partial model is decoupled from a given subset of inputs. The constrained decomposition method is formulated using pair algebra concepts as an iterative algorithm...

The number of computationally-based models of human social behavior is growing rapidly. In fact, the current ease of programming is resulting in a plethora of tools with impressive interfaces but little theoretical power under the hood. Further, the overabundance of new toolkits for building models is facilitating the excessively rapid growth of simple proof-of-concept, or intellective, models....
