A Levinson--Galerkin Algorithm for Regularized Trigonometric Approximation
Authors: Thomas Strohmer
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

Trigonometric polynomials are widely used for the approximation of a smooth function from a set of nonuniformly spaced samples. If the samples are perturbed by noise, a good choice for the polynomial degree of the trigonometric approximation becomes an essential issue to avoid overfitting and underfitting of the data. Standard methods for trigonometric least squares approximation assume that the degree for the approximating polynomial is known a priori, which is usually not the case in practice. We derive a multilevel algorithm that recursively adapts to the least squares solution of suitable degree. We analyze under which conditions this multilevel approach yields the optimal solution. The proposed algorithm computes the solution in at most $\mathcal{O}(rM + M^2)$ operations (M being the polynomial degree of the approximation and r being the number of samples) by solving a family of nested Toeplitz systems. It is shown how the presented method can be extended to multivariate trigonometric approximation. We demonstrate the performance of the algorithm by applying it in echocardiography to the recovery of the boundary of the left ventricle of the heart.

Point Value Multiscale Algorithms for 2D Compressible Flows
Authors: Guillaume Chiavassa, Rosa Donat
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

The numerical simulation of physical problems modeled by systems of conservation laws is difficult due to the presence of discontinuities in the solution. High-order shock capturing schemes combine sharp numerical profiles at discontinuities with a highly accurate approximation in smooth regions, but usually their computational cost is quite large.Following the idea of A. Harten [Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 48 (1995), pp. 1305--1342] and Bihari and Harten [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 18 (1997), pp. 315--354], we present in this paper a method to reduce the execution time of such simulations. It is based on a point value multiresolution transform that is used to detect regions with singularities. In these regions, an expensive high-resolution shock capturing scheme is applied to compute the numerical flux at cell interfaces. In smooth regions a cheap polynomial interpolation is used to deduce the value of the numerical divergence from values previously obtained on lower resolution scales.This method is applied to solve the two-dimensional compressible Euler equations for two classical configurations. The results are analyzed in terms of quality and efficiency.

Principles of Neurocomputing for Science and Engineering, 1st edition
Authors: Ivica Kostanic, Fredric M. Ham
Venue:  (2000)

:This exciting new text covers artificial neural networks,but more specifically,neurocomputing. Neurocomputing is concerned with processing information,which involves a learning process within an artificial neural network architecture. This neural architecture responds to inputs according to a defined learning rule and then the trained network can be used to perform certain tasks depending on the application. Neurocomputing can play an important role in solving certain problems such as pattern recognition,optimization,event classification,control and identification of nonlinear systems,and statistical analysis. "Principles of Neurocomputing for Science and Engineering," unlike other neural networks texts,is written specifically for scientists and engineers who want to apply neural networks to solve complex problems. For each neurocomputing concept,a solid mathematical foundation is presented along with illustrative examples to accompany that particular architecture and associated training algorithm. The book is primarily intended for graduate-level neural networks courses,but in some instances may be used at the undergraduate level. The book includes many detailed examples and an extensive set of end-of-chapter problems.
PHP Essentials, 4th edition
Authors: Julie C. Meloni
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:I wanted to write the kind of book that you could hold on your lap without bruising yourself. I wanted to write a book that anyone could learn something from, not just someone with a degree in computer science. Ultimately, I wanted to write a book that someone could take off the shelf, skim through, and say, "Hey, this PHP thing looks like a neat language, and it's ever-so-easy to learn!" If you've been programming with PHP since the beginning of time, there's probably not much you can get out of this book, except to hand it to your boss and say, "Look! Another book on what a wonderful language this is. Can we please stop using ASP/ Cold Fusion/Java/Perl/C++ and migrate to PEP now?" But if you've just dabbled with PHP or have never seen a PHP script, this is the book for you. Whether you're a first-time programmer or you have a few years of Web application development under your belt, you'll find something useful here. I hope what you'll find is a simple "learn-by-example" path to developing highly successful Web sites. Unlike the Web itself, this book is fairly linear. You'll start by installing the software needed to use PHP, and then you'll gradually move into "Hello World!" scripts and eventually create shopping carts and other database-driven applications. If you have an account with an Internet Service Provider that has enabled the use of PHP for all users on the server, you can skip ahead to Chapter 2. But since you can install freely-available Web servers, PHP, and a database or two on your own machine with a little poking and prodding along the way, I recommend doing so. It's a great way to learn the "guts" of what you're doing (and it looks good on a resume!).For More Stuff This book has its own Web site (that figures, doesn't it?), at http:// www.thickbook.com/. At this site you can download all of the code samples in this book, as well as all of the samples I didn't include, such as examples geared toward alternative database types. You can also use the site to alert me to bugs and other problems you have with the examples. Although they have been tested many times, one errant semicolon or quotation mark can cause the dreaded parse error. Also, please use the Web site to tell me about examples you wish I had included. I'll do my best to keep the "Tutorials" section filled with new and exciting topics not covered in this book.

Designing information for dynamic delivery with XML
Authors: Steve Manning
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2002)

If you review the current technology trends for the web, you'll notice that the words "Dynamic Delivery" figure prominently. Industry pundits have identified "personalization" as one of the key characteristics of leading edge information sites. XML technologies provide companies with new options for the creation and delivery of information, including dynamic delivery and personalized information. But really effective information requires planning and preparation. This paper gives an overview of dynamic content and personalization, the benefits, and describes what is required to design, create, and manage effective dynamic content.

A simple analytic model for performance of exclusive locking in database systems
Authors: Nathan Goodman, Rajan Suri, Y. C. Tay
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1983)

Many different algorithms have been proposed for database concurrency control, and many more can be synthesized by combining locking and timestamping. The correctness of these algorithms is already well understood, their performance is not. We need a model to help us understand, compare and control the behavior of locking and timestamping we present here a model which we hope will eventually play such a role, but which we believe is simple to understand and use.

Users in context
Authors: Peter Ingwerswen
Venue: Lectures on information retrieval (2001)

Users as actors in interactive information retrieval (IIR) are seen in the contexts of their perceived work tasks and information seeking behaviour. The paper models IIR processes by demonstrating a variety of approaches, ranging from Ingwersen's cognitive communication model for IR interaction, over Saraceveic' stratified model which includes a typology of relevance conceptions, to Borlund's model of work task perception, information need development and relevance assessments. Other associated models and perspectives of IIR are discussed when appropriate to the major focus points of the contribution: information need development and typology; understanding of relevance in IIR; and experimental problems in IIR.

A high-level approach to computer document formatting
Authors: Brian K. Reid
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1980)

The very best document-formatting system is a good secretary. He can be given scrawled handwritten text in no particular format, and without further instruction produce a flawless finished document. Nevertheless, we believe that document formatting should be done by computers, because so much of it is the tedium that computers handle so well. Existing computer document formatting programs have met with some success; indeed, most computer systems offer some sort of text formatting capability. These programs are often difficult to use, and are almost invariably tied to a particular kind of printing device.The document-formatting language Scribe was designed to provide a simple, portable language in which document formatting could be specified; the Scribe compiler was written to process that language into finished documents. In following sections we describe the design goals, the implementation, and report on experience with the completed system.
Maintaining Minimum Spanning Forests in Dynamic Graphs
Authors: Monika R. Henzinger, Valerie King
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

We present the first fully dynamic algorithm for maintaining a minimum spanning forest in time $o(\sqrt n)$ per operation. To be precise, the algorithm uses O(n1/3 log n) amortized time per update operation. The algorithm is fairly simple and deterministic. An immediate consequence is the first fully dynamic deterministic algorithm for maintaining connectivity and bipartiteness in amortized time O(n1/3 log n) per update, with O(1) worst case time per query.
Integration of geomorphing into level of detail management for realtime rendering
Authors: Christopher Zach
Venue: Proceedings of the 18th spring conference on Computer graphics (2002)

Realtime rendering of scenes with discrete levels of detail (LOD) often suffers from noticeable visual changes between succesive frames. We propose geomorphing to obtain smoother animations while retaining guaranteed frame rates. Our level of detail management calculates a set of representations, that are well suited for some future time interval according to the predicted motion of the user. Thus, the rendering system has enough time to change the representations smoothly to the desired level of detail. Further on uniprocessor systems, the time used by the LOD selection is amortized between several frames.
Prisoner's Dilemma, 1st edition
Authors: William Poundstone
Venue:  (1993)

:Should you watch public television without pledging?...Exceed the posted speed limit?...Hop a subway turnstile without paying? These questions illustrate the so-called "prisoner's dilemma," a social puzzle that we all face every day. Though the answers may seem simple, their profound implications make the prisoner's dilemma one of the great unifying concepts of science, an idea that has influenced leaders across the political spectrum and informed our views of conflicts ranging from the Cuban missile crisis to the Persian Gulf War. Watching players bluff in a poker game inspired John von Neumann--father of the modern computer and one of the sharpest minds of the century--to construct game theory, a mathematical study of conflict and deception. Game theory was readily embraced at the RAND Corporation, the archetypical think tank charged with formulating military strategy for the atomic age, and in 1950 two RAND scientists made a momentous discovery. Called the "prisoner's dilemma," it is a disturbing and mind-bending game where two or more people may betray the common good for individual gain. Introduced shortly after the Soviet Union acquired the atomic bomb, the prisoner's dilemma quickly became a popular allegory of the nuclear arms race. Intellectuals such as von Neumann and Bertrand Russell joined military and political leaders in rallying to the "preventive war" movement, which advocated a nuclear first strike against the Soviet Union. Though the Truman administration rejected preventive war the United States entered into an arms race with the Soviets and game theory developed into a controversial tool of public policy--alternately accused of justifying arms races and touted as the only hope of preventing them. A masterful work of science writing, Prisoner's Dilemma weaves together a biography of the brilliant and tragic von Neumann, a history of pivotal phases of the cold war, and an investigation of game theory's far-reaching influence on public policy t
