This review of the occupational therapy literature on barrier-free design identifies both a paucity of related occupational therapy research on the topic and a lack of a common conceptual base with which to guide the development and use of environmental assessments. Nonetheless, two fledgling themes can be extrapolated: the consistent reference to the concepts of accessibility, mobility, functi...

The modular product computation A*B (mod N) is a bottleneck for some public-key encryption algorithms, as well as many exact computations implemented using the Chinese Remainder Theorem. We show how to compute A*B (mod N) efficiently, for single-precision A,B, and N, on a modern RISC architecture (Intel 80860) in ANSI C. On this architecture, our method computes A*B (mod N) faster than ANSI C c...

The evaluation criteria for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Round2 candidate algorithms, as specified in the “Request for Comments” [1], includes computational efficiency, among other criteria. Specifically, the “Call For AES Candidate Algorithms” [2] required both Reference ANSI C code and Optimized ANSI C code, as well as Java code. Additionally, a “reference” hardware and software pl...

The semantics of C is described in the ANSIrISO standard using natural language. This paper contains a brief summary, more descriptive than technical, of our research in specifying a complete and accurate formal semantics for ANSI C. We follow the denotational approach and divide the specification in three distinct phases: static, typing and dynamic semantics. Moreover, we have developed a dire...

This paper reports on an experiment to assess the error detection capabilities of static, inter-module type checking. Type checking is considered an important mechanism for detecting programming errors, especially interface errors. The experiment uses Kernighan&Ritchie C and ANSI C. The relevant di erence is that the ANSI C compiler checks module interfaces (i.e., the parameter lists of calls t...

Type checking is considered an important mechanism for detecting programming errors, especially interface errors. This report describes an experiment to assess the defect-detection capabilities of static, inter-module type checking. The experiment uses Ansi C and Kernighan&Ritchie (K&R) C. The relevant diierence is that the Ansi C compiler checks module interfaces (i.e., the parameter lists of ...

Draft ANSI S12.13 1991 Standard Evaluating the Effectiveness of Hearing Conservation Programs presents statistical protocols purportedly sensitive to temporary threshold shift (TTS) in occupational hearing conservation program (HCP) audiometric databases. Because it is well established that less TTS is found in humans with hearing loss than in those with essentially normal hearing, one might pr...
