We pursue an analytical approach to energy consumption characterization of large scale mobile ad hoc networks. An energy aware hybrid routing strategy is proposed and analyzed. Referred to as Energy Aware GEo-location aided Routing (EAGER), this protocol optimally blends proactive and reactive routing strategies for energy efficiency. Specifically, EAGER partitions the network into cells and pe...

This paper presents an insert rate study for RDFS databases using secondary storage. The study explores the cost and benefits of both eager closure and truth maintenance algorithms for RDFS databases based on both OODMBS and relational technology. We review an OODBMS framework, known as the Generic Object Model, and its application to building an RDFS database and examine tradeoffs among variou...

Given a biconnected graph G = (V,E) with edge {s, t} ∈ E, an st-ordering is an ordering v1, . . . , vn of V such that s = v1, t = vn, and every other vertex has both a higher-numbered and a lower-numbered neighbor. Previous linear-time st-ordering algorithms are based on a preprocessing step in which depth-first search is used to compute lowpoints. The actual ordering is determined only in a se...

We deene Lazy Term Rewriting Systems and show that they can be realized by local adaptations of an eager implementation of conventional term rewriting systems. The overhead of lazy evaluation is only incurred when lazy evaluation is actually performed. Our method is modelled by a transformation of term rewriting systems, which concisely expresses the intricate interaction between pattern matchi...

The increasing popularity of mindfulness practices has seen an accompanying growth in research that includes the development several self-report measures. However, while caution been recommended use these self-reports, there little direct assessment their susceptibility to expectancy effects. This aimed at understanding whether effects exist for self-reported measures (Study 1; n = 60), and how...

OBJECTIVES To develop an algorithm to identify individuals with limited life expectancy and examine the effect of limited life expectancy on glycemic control and treatment intensification in individuals with diabetes mellitus. DESIGN Individuals with diabetes mellitus and coexisting congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dementia, end-stage liver disease, and/or prim...
