The organization and management of the intense computation involved in the solution of large, sparse and non-symmetric systems of equations, arising from the discretization of Elliptic Boundary Value Problems (BVPs) by the Hermite Collocation method, on a Distributed-Shared Memory (DSM) multiprocessor environment is the problem considered herein. As the size of the problem directly suggests the...

Introduction Importance of collocation in efficient language learning is well recognized in the domain of second language education. In recent years investigations in brain science shows that retrieving from mental lexicon words acquired in conventional text-based learning is significantly slower on the scene of actual setting than those obtained in situationbased learning[1]. This paper adopts...

Cloud property data sets derived from passive sensors onboard the polar orbiting satellites (such as the NOAA’s Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) have global coverage and now span a climatological time period. Synoptic surface observations (SYNOP) are often used to characterize the accuracy of satellite-based cloud cover. Infrequent overpasses of polar orbiting satellites combined with ...

This study examines the relationship between two kinds of semantic spaces — i.e., spaces based on term frequency (tf) and word cooccurrence frequency (co) — and four semantic relations — i.e., synonymy, coordination, superordination, and collocation — by comparing, for each semantic relation, the performance of two semantic spaces in predicting word association. The simulation experiment demons...

The work presented provides computational linguistics methods and tools for collocation identiication from arbitrary text, and methods and tools for representing collocations in a relational database integrating competence (collocation-type-speciic linguistic analysis) and performance information (corpus sentences). The work diiers from existing approaches to collo-cation identiication in syste...

‎in this paper‎, ‎an approach based on statistical spline model (ssm) and collocation method is proposed to solve volterra-fredholm integral equations‎. ‎the set of collocation nodes is chosen so that the points yield minimal error in the nodal polynomials‎. ‎under some standard assumptions‎, ‎we establish the convergence property of this approach‎. ‎numerical results on some problems are given...

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...

It is generally acknowledged within the Spanish as second language (SSL) community that collocations need to be taught and that collocation dictionaries are useful. Nevertheless, no one has carried out yet any experimental study to investigate what kind of collocation information must be included into a dictionary and how to encode it for a user to take full advantage of it. We describe the res...
