ESL (Execution Support Language) is a language for encoding execution knowledge in embedded autonomous agents. It is similar in spirit to RAPs [Firby89] and RPL [McDermott91], and RS [Lyons93], and its design owes much to these systems. Unlike its predecessors, ESL aims for a more utilitarian point in the design space. ESL was designed primarily to be a powerful and easy-to-use tool, not to ser...

The purpose of this study was to investigate alternative methods for evaluating deaf students' readiness to meet the English language and literacy demands of postsecondary educational programs. In the first part of the study, scores obtained by a large sample of deaf students on the ACT Assessment (ACT Composite score and scores on the ACT English and Reading tests) were compared to their score...

PURPOSE Analysis of overall tolerability and neurological adverse effects (AEs) of eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL), lacosamide (LCM) and oxcarbazepine (OXC) from double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. Indirect comparisons of patients withdrawing because of AEs, and the incidence of some vestibulocerebellar AEs between these three antiepileptic dugs (AEDs). METHODS We searched MEDLINE for all ...

System designers conceptualize designs at an abstract functional level where outputs are typically described as (algorithmic or transfer) functions of the system inputs. This design abstraction level, called electronic system level (ESL), enables ease of design capture and early design space exploration of multiple design implementation alternatives. ESL designs can be refined into lower levels...

Abstract This study aimed at comparing quantitative and qualitative results of experiments based on embryo cells (embryonic stem-like – ESL) relative to medullary stimulation (BMS) for chondral lesions treatment of Me...

The use of a complex battery of reading strategies has been found to be obligatory for those English as a Second Language (ESL) students desirous of a high level of English language literacy and success in US academic institutions. Even though we know of the importance of reading strategies, little research exists on whether or not ESL males and females have similar or different strategic readi...

In this study, the authors explore English as a Second Language (ESL) placement as a measure of how schools label and process immigrant students. Using propensity score matching and data from the Adolescent Health and Academic Achievement Study and the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the authors estimate the effect of ESL placement on immigrant achievement. In schools with mor...

The elastic strain limit (ESL) of tendons is the point where maximum elastic modulus is reached, after which micro-damage starts. Study of damage progression in tendons under repetitive (fatigue) loading requires a priori knowledge about ESL. In this study, we propose three different approaches for predicting ESL. First, one single value is assumed to represent the ESL of all tendon specimens. ...

Integrate and Verify SystemC Models in a Graphical ESL Testbench Transactional-level SystemC models can be easily integrated into a graphical ESL modeling and simulation environment by using simple wrappers. An electronic-system-level (ESL) modeling and simulation environment allows the user to specify multi-processor systems using mixed graphical and textual notations. Transactional-level Syst...
