Current search engines are largely text based, and the text vocabulary that they use is a poor match for the style based concerns. Search engines return pages whose content relates semantically to the keyword query; they cannot be used for searches along stylistic attributes such as “pages with funny backgrounds” or “pages that look professional” etc. We propose a system1 that will allow users ...

Coordination languages for parallel and distributed systems specify mechanisms for creating tasks and communicating data among them. These languages typically assume that (a) once a task begins execution on some processor, it will remain resident on that processor throughout its lifetime, and (b) communicating shared data among tasks is through some form of message-passing and data migration. I...

The investment of mutual funds which investors are often required evaluating the investment strategies according to their own subjective preferences in terms of numerical values from various criteria. This situation can be regarded as a fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. The purpose of this study attempts to propose an alternative approach, fuzzy multiple criteria decision ...

Professional programmers need common coding conventions to assure co-operation and a degree of quality of the software. Novice programmers, however, easily forget issues of programming style in their programming coursework. In particular with large classes, students may pass several courses without learning elements of programming style. This is often due to shortage of tutor work to give stude...

We study the continuation passing style (CPS) transform and its generalization, the computational transform, in which the notion of computation is generalized from continuation passing to an arbitrary one. To establish a relation between direct style and continuation passing style interpretation of sequential call-by-value programs, we prove the Retraction Theorem which says that a lambda term ...

Abstract Background: Attachment relationship provides a secure base for the infants from which to explore the environment and a safe haven to return to in times of danger. Attachment style shapes the behavior of individuals in adulthood. There are many different measures of attachment and a lot of controversy about what they measure and how they relate to each other. Hence, we tried to evaluate...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We construct inducing schemes for general multi-dimensional piecewise expanding maps where the base transformation is Gibbs-Markov and return times have exponential tails. Such structures are a crucial tool in proving statistical properties of dynamical systems with some hyperbolicity. As an application we check conditions first map class non-Markov, non-confo...

Surveillance is a critical measure to break anonymity. While surveillance with unlimited resources is often assumed as a means, against which, to design stronger anonymity algorithms, this paper addresses the general impact of limited resource on surveillance efficiency. The general impact of limited resource on identifying a hidden group is experimentally studied; the task of identification is...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate if an initial ETCO2 value at or below 1.3 kPa can be used as a cut-off value for whether return of spontaneous circulation during pre-hospital cardio-pulmonary resuscitation is achievable or not. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively registered data according to the Utstein-style template for reporting data from pre-hospital advanced airway manage...
