The aim of the present study was to analyze the instruction of the Judo coach immediately before the competition, in the process of preparation for the fights, looking to (1) study the coherency between the information which the coach transmits and that which the athlete retains; (2) identify the correlation between the coherency, the extension and the number of ideas conveyed by the coach; (3)...

A laser-induced Schottky-effect-gated photocathode gun has been in use since 2006. This new type of gun utilizes a laser’s coherency to create a compact laser source using Z-polarization of the IR laser on the cathode. This Z-polarization scheme reduces the laser pulse energy by reducing the cathode work function due to the Schottky effect. Before this epoch-making scheme emerged as a concept, ...

In this paper, we propose a low-complexity auction framework to distribute spectrum in real-time among a large number of wireless users with dynamic traffic. Our design consists of a compact and highly-expressive bidding format, two pricing models to control tradeoffs between revenue and fairness, and fast auction clearing algorithms to achieve conflict-free spectrum allocations that maximize a...

We provide a denotational trace semantics for processes with synchronous communication and a form of weakly fair parallelism. The semantics is fully abstract: processes have the same trace sets if and only if their communication behaviors are identical in all contexts. The model can easily be adapted for asynchronously communicating processes, or for shared-memory parallel programs. We also pro...

This correspondence deals with the problem of determining the source coherency structure and estimation of directions of arrival in the presence of coherent signals. The method is closely related to the smoothed rank profile (SRP) algorithm presented in [3], which Manuscript received July 20, 1987; revised October 3, 1988. This work was supported by the Naval Physical and Oceanographic Laborato...

An important issue in the dissemination of time-varying web data such as sports scores and stock prices is the maintenance of temporal coherency. In the case of servers adhering to the HTTP protocol, clients need to frequently pull the data based on the dynamics of the data and a user’s coherency requirements. In contrast, servers that possess push capability maintain state information pertaini...

The popularity of XML has exacerbated the need for an easy-to-use, high precision query interface for XML data. When traditional document-oriented keyword search techniques do not suffice, natural language interfaces and keyword search techniques that take advantage of XML structure make it very easy for ordinary users to query XML databases. Unfortunately, current approaches to processing thes...
