Functional programs often de ne functions by pat tern matching where patterns may inadvertedly overlap through successive function calls This leads to hidden in e ciencies since the recursively called function possibly repeats redundant tests while trying to match the pat tern An analysis which is based on conservative symbolic execution similar to higher order constant propagation is proposed ...

community care. However, there is confusion over the meaning of the term and a surprising lack of evidence regarding its efficacy in the care of the mentally ill (Bachrach, 1989). Core func tions of case management that have been identified include the assessment of individual need, the development of a comprehensive service plan, arrangement of service delivery, the mon itoring and assessment ...

We proposed a syntactical format the path format for structured operational semantics in which predicates may occur We proved that strong bisim ulation is a congruence for all the operators that can be de ned within the path for mat To show that this format is useful we provided many examples that we took from the literature about CCS CSP and ACP they do satisfy the path format but no formats p...

This work presents a modular technique for minimizing a deterministic nite state ma chine FSM while preserving its equivalence to the original system Being modular the minimization technique should consume less time and space Preserving equivalence the resulting minimized model can be employed in both temporal logic model checking and sequential equivalence checking thus reducing their time and...

The class F of •quasi-extended asymptotic functions" introduced in the present paper contains all extended asymptotic functions [8, (3.1)] (in particular, all examples construct. ed in [9, Sec. 1 ]). But F contains also some new asymptotic functions very similar to tht Schwartz distributions. On the other hand , every two quasi-extended asymptotic func. tions can be multiplied as opposed to the...

Sociometer theory proposes that the self-esteem system evolved as a monitor of social acceptance, and that the so called self-esteem motive func tions not to maintain self-es teem per se but rather to avoid social devaluation and rejec tion. Cues indicating that the individual is not adequately valued and accepted by other people lower self-esteem and motivate behaviors that en hance relational...

The retina is a highly organized structure responsible for transducing light stimulation into electrical responses. Retinal organization is conserved in all vertebrate species and the generation of retinal cell types is chronologically determined and fairly documented from amphibians to humans. Furthermore, the chick retina is a well-established experimental paradigm for neurochemical and devel...

Frequency response functions (FRFs) play an important role in the assessment of the structural response of linear systems subjected to dynamic forces. In this work a meta-model is presented to approximate the eigenfrequencies and mode shapes to describe the FRFs. The meta-model is supposed to provide a computationally fast solution for the eigenvalue problem, which needs to be solved for each s...
