We compare the numeric performance of C, C# and Java on three small cases.

BACKGROUND Cobeljić et al. recently reported a numeric table method to provide precise rotational osteotomy which is a well established orthopaedic procedure. The numeric table requires four pages in length that is rather inconvenient during performing an osteotomy operation. METHODS We thus develop our own method by summarizing the data of the four-page table into a small ruler, which is eas...

The RSA-768 (270 decimal digits) was factored by Kleinjung et al. on December 12, 2009, while the RSA-704 (212 decimal digits) was factored by Bai et al. on July 2, 2012. The RSA-200 (663 bits) was factored by Bahr et al. on May 9, 2005, while he RSA-210 (696 bits) was factored by Propper on September 26, 2013. In this paper the author will discuss an estimation method to approach the lower/upp...

A prominent feature of comparative life histories in fish (and other indeterminate growers) is the approximate invariance across species of certain dimensionless numbers made up from reproductive and timing variables. The two best known are the age at maturity (alpha) divided by the average adult lifespan (E), and the proportion of a body mass given to reproduction per year (c) multiplied by E....

Humans prioritize the processing of threats over neutral stimuli; thus, not surprisingly, the presence of threats has been shown to alter performance on both perceptual and cognitive tasks. Yet whether the quantification process is disrupted in the presence of threat is unknown. In three experiments, we examined numerical estimation and discrimination abilities in adults in the context of threa...

bilevel linear programming  is a decision making problem with a two-level decentralized organization. the textquotedblleft leadertextquotedblright~ is in the upper level and the textquotedblleft followertextquotedblright, in the lower. making a decision at one level affects that at the other one. in this paper, bilevel linear programming  with inexact parameters has been studied and a method is...

The fastest-growing student population in U.S. schools today is children of immigrants, half of whom do not speak English fluently and are thus labeled English learners. Although the federal government requires school districts to provide services to English learners, it offers states no policies to follow in identifying, assessing, placing, or instructing them. Margarita Calderón, Robert Slavi...
