We motivate the design and implementation of a platform-neutral compute intermediate language (PENCIL) for productive and performance-portable accelerator programming.

Different methods of language teaching have tried to help EFL learners to develop good language skills based on their various perspectives. Research findings have underscored the effect of using task types in promoting language skills in terms of accuracy in written discourse. Therefore, this study set out to investigate whether there is an evidence of correct use of simple past tense (Accuracy...

This paper presents an investigation of a radio receiver architecture to enable multi-standard (GPRS, WCDMA, HiperLAN2) implementation in mobile terminals. The architecture uses partial radio band digitisation at an intermediate frequency. Following circuit progress and industry trends (e.g. Moore’s law) we estimate components for the proposed architecture with acceptable power consumption to b...

In this paper we propose a technique to automate the process of building translators between operations languages, a family of DSLs used to program satellite operations procedures. We exploit the similarities between those languages to semiautomatically build a transformation schema between them, through the use of annotated grammars. To improve the overall translation process even more, reduci...

in this study, we introduce the classes of $phi$-strongly pseudocontractive mappings in the intermediate sense and generalized $phi$-pseudocontractive mappings in the intermediate sense and prove the existence of fixed points for those maps. the results generalise the results of several authors in literature including xiang [chang he xiang, fixed point theorem for generalized $phi$-pseudocontra...

the present study intended to look into and compare the possible effects of competitive team-based learning (ctbl) with learning together (lt) or cooperative group-based learning (cgbl) – the most popular method of cooperative learning (cl) -- on oral performance of iranian efl intermediate students. after administering the oral interview, this researcher selected a group of 40 almost homogeneo...

background: hydroxyurea (hu) is a well known chemotherapeutic agent that has been used largely for various myeloproliferative diseases over the past 20 years. in β-thalassemia, the effect of hu is much less clear and remains controversial. this study was undertaken to describe the hematologic and clinical responses of thalassemia major and intermediate patients to hu treatment during 2 years. m...
