Java’s memory-safety relies on the Java Virtual Machine checking that each access to an array does not exceed the bounds of that array. When static analysis can determine that some array access instruction will never use an out of bounds index, the cost of dynamically checking the index each time the instruction is executed can be avoided. This report introduces Block-Qualified Variable Elimina...

Tests, using small scale models of the Curtiss-Wright X-100 and X-19 aircraft, have been carried out to investigate the disturbance and spray caused by VTOL aircraft hovering above water. Full scale disc loadings in the range 20 to 70 lb./sq.ft. were represented. Correlation of the model test results with full scale testing of the X-100 airplane over water at a disc loading of 23 lb.sq.ft. and ...

In this article, the authors examine workforce issues in nursing. From their discussion, they recommend that qualified nurses should sanction the further training of support workers to enable them to spend more time in direct patient care.

The standard monopoly pricing problem is re-considered when the buyer can disclose his type (e.g. age, income, experience) at some cost. In the optimal sales mechanism with costly disclosure, the seller posts a price list, including a “sticker price” available to any buyer and a schedule of discounts available to those who disclose certain types. Unambiguous welfare implications of such a prici...

In earlier papers qualifying types were presented as a technique for dynamically qualifying objects in a general way. This paper considers how such types can be composed statically into the definitions of other types.

BACKGROUND Health care agencies report that the major limiting factor for implementing effective health policies and reforms worldwide is a lack of qualified human resources. Although many agencies have adopted policy development and clinical practice guidelines, the human resources necessary to carry out these policies towards actual reform are not yet in place. OBJECTIVES The goal of this a...

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a mechanism for host configuration that includes dynamic assignment of IP addresses and fully qualified domain names. To maintain accurate name-to-IP-address and IP-address-to-name mappings in the DNS, these dynamically assigned addresses and fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) require updates to the DNS. This document identifies situatio...

Methods: This was a hospital-based, randomized controlled trial with a blinded assessor. Twenty four chronic stroke patients who were more than six months post-stroke participated in this study. They were randomly allocated to 1 of 2 groups: Real-time Auditory stimulation Feedback (RAF) group (n= 12) and treadmill group (n=12). Patients in the RAF group received three 30-minute sessions of trea...

Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract It is possible for Dynamic Host ...

A mediator join index (MJI) is proposed to speed up Nway inter-database joins by reducing the amount of data transfer during evaluation. A family of algorithms, the Query Scrubbing Algorithms (QSA), are developed to maintainMJI and to evaluate queries usingMJI. QSA algorithms use query scrubbing to cope with update and query anomalies related to materialized views in the mediator context. Compa...
