In this column, we take break from our ongoing discussion of the CORBA Messaging specification to cover collocation, which is an important topic for component-based application developers. Collocation is a technique for transparently optimizing communication overhead when clients and servants are configured into the same address space. For instance, Microsoft COM [1] applications frequently use...

We present a collocatIon method based on piecewise cubic polynomials I In C for solving various Integral and differential equatIons. Two new methods for handling curved boundaries are discussed based on collocation and discrete least-squares. Finally, a summary of the properties of the collocation method Is given which IndIcates the simplicity, flexlbl1fty, efficiency, and generality of the met...

In recent years, new and more effective procedures for applying collocation have been published. This article is devoted to present a revision of this subject and complement its developments. From the general theory two broad approaches are derived, which yield the direct and the indirect TH-collocation methods. The former approach had not been published before, and it is a dual of the indirect...

19 male Es employing a Taffel-type task conducted a verbal conditioning experiment with 60 female Ss. I the Es were led to expect their Ss to show verbal conditioning, and 4 were led to expect no verbal conditioning. 4 the Es in each of these groups were led to feel that it would be desirable if their Ss showed conditioning, and J were led to feel that it would be undesirable. Those Es who (a) ...

This study utilized a modification of Strupp's film method to focus upon the verbal patterns of experienced and novice psychotherapists. Results indicated some striking differences between the 2 groups of S therapists with experts relative to novices using more nonquestions and averaging more words per given statement. These and other differences are discussed with particular reference to sever...

87 The article that follows, “Antecedents and Consequences of Word,” is reprinted with permission from the European Journal of Behavior Analysis. It is one more piece of an on-going longer work. The article especially emphasizes the role of multiple causation in verbal behavior in the converging effects of verbal governance, verbal shaping, attention to verbal stimuli, and the replication of ve...

Nowadays, spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has become a powerful tool for providing significant wave height (SWH). Traditionally, validation of SAR derived SWH has been carried out against buoy measurements or model outputs, which only yield an inter-comparison, but not an “absolute” validation. In this study, the triple collocation error model has been introduced in the validation of ...

Collocation Extraction plays an important role in machine translation, information retrieval, secondary language learning, etc., and has obtained significant achievements in other languages, e.g. English and Chinese. There are some studies for Arabic collocation extraction using POS annotation to extract Arabic collocation. We used a hybrid method that included POS patterns and syntactic depend...

In this paper, a well-conditioned collocation method is constructed for solving general p-th order linear differential equations with various types of boundary conditions. Based on a suitable Birkhoff interpolation, we obtain a new set of polynomial basis functions that results in a collocation scheme with two important features: the condition number of the linear system is independent of the n...
