Weak bisimilarity between finite-state systems and BPA or normed BPP is decidable in polynomial time
Authors: Antonín Kuča, Richard Mayr
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We prove that weak bisimilarity is decidable in polynomial time between finite-state systems and several classes of infinite-state systems: context-free processes and normed basic parallel processes (normed BPP). To the best of our knowledge, these are the first polynomial algorithms for weak bisimilarity problems involving infinite-state systems.

Dynamic Vt SRAM: a leakage tolerant cache memory for low voltage microprocessors
Authors: Chris H. Kim, Kaushik Roy
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

This paper presents a Dynamic Vt SRAM (DTSRAM) architecture to reduce the subthreshold leakage in cache memories. The Vt of each cache line is controlled separately by means of body biasing. In order to minimize the energy and delay overhead, a cache line is switched to high Vt only when it is not likely to be accessed anymore. Simulation results from SimpleScalar framework show that even after considering the energy overhead, the DTSRAM can save 72% of the cache leakage with a performance loss less than 1%. Layout of the DTSRAM shows that the area penalty is minimal.
Using the entity-relationship model to teach the relational model
Authors: Kofi Apenyo
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (1999)

By far the two most important database models used in data management today are the relational and the entity-relationship models. In the database development cycle, entity-relationship modeling precedes the relational model work. Yet, in most textbooks and therefore in the classroom the relational model is presented before the entity-relationship model. The student is left to retrofit the entity-relationship model to the relational model. This paper advocates reversing this order of presentation so as to be in line with the database development cycle. The major benefit lies in taking advantage of this sequence to improve teaching the relational model. Assuming a prior treatment of conceptual modeling, examples and principles of the entity-relationship model are used to illustrate, elaborate, and even explain relational model concepts.

Dreamweaver 3 Hands-On Training with CD Rom, 2nd edition
Authors: Lynda Weinman, Garo Green
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:In my opinion, most people buy computer books in order to learn, yet it is amazing how few of these books are actually written by teachers. In this book, you will find carefully developed lessons and exercises that have been tested in our training center to help you learn Dreamweaver 2-one of the most well-respected HTML editors on the planet. This is the first of several HOT titles designed specifically for learning digital art tools and principles related to Web Design, Animation, and Digital Imaging. This book is targeted toward beginning to intermediate-level Web developers who are looking for a great tool to speed up production, offer workflow flexibility, and create great code and re-sults. The premise of the hands-on exercise approach is to get you up to speed quickly in Dreamweaver 2, while actively working through the book's lessons. It's one thing to read about a product, and an entirely different experience to try the product and get measurable results. Many exercise-based books take a paint-by-numbers approach to teaching, which offer instructions that tell you what to do, but not why to do it or when to do it. While this approach sometimes works, it's often difficult to figure out how to apply those lessons to a real-world situation, or understand why or when you would use the technique again. What sets this book apart is that the lessons contain lots of background information for each given subject, which are designed to help you understand the process as well as the particular exercise. At times, pictures are worth a lot more than words. When necessary, I have also includ-ed short QuickTime movies to show any process that's difficult to explain with words. Thesefiles are located on the HOT CD-ROM inside a folder called movies. It's my style to approach teaching from many different angles because I know that some peo-ple are visual learners, while others like to read, and still others like to get out there and try things. This book combines a lot of teaching approaches so you can learn Dream-weaver 2 as thoroughly as you want to. In this book, I didn't set out to cover every single aspect of Dreamweaver. The manual and many other reference books are great for that! What I saw missing from the book-shelves was a process-oriented book that taught readers core principles, techniques, and tips in a hands-on training format. It's my hope that this book will raise your skills in Web design, HTML, JavaScript, and publishing. If it does, then I have accomplished the job I set out to do! I welcome your comments
Computer rendering of lobster neurons
Authors: Nelson L. Max
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1976)

At Carnegie Mellon University, the PDP-10 and PDP-11 computers have been used to trace thin sections of stained neurons in a lobster swimmeret ganglion, and to reconstruct the global structure of the neuron from the sections. This paper will present two sorts of graphic pictures of the final reconstructed neuron; vector drawings with hidden lines, and shaded raster drawings of the neuron inside a transparent shell representing the outer surface of the ganglion. The hidden line program handles curving cylindrical tubes of varying radii, and shows only the visible contours. The raster program is a modification of Sproul's version of the Watkins Algorithm, and applies Phong shading to both opaque and semi-transparent surfaces. The shaded output is rendered on the Carnegie-Mellon video system.

Synthesis of resource invariants for concurrent programs
Authors: Edmund Melson Clarke,  Jr.
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1979)

Owicki and Gries have developed a proof system for conditional critical regions. In their system logically related variables accessed by more than one process are grouped together as resources, and processes are allowed access to a resource only in a critical region for that resource. Proofs of synchronization properties are constructed by devising predicates called resource invariants which describe relationships among the variables of a resource when no process is in a critical region for the resource. In constructing proofs using the system of Owicki and Gries, the programmer is required to supply the resource invariants.We show that convexity plays a key role in the derivation of strong resource invariants. We also develop methods for automatically synthesizing resource invariants. Specifically, we characterize the resource invariants of a concurrent program as least fixpoints of a functional which can be obtained from the text of the program. By using this fixpoint characterization and a widening operator which exploits our observation on the importance of convexity, good approximations may be obtained for the resource invariants of many concurrent programs.
Stochastic Comparison of Random Vectors with a Common Copula
Authors: Alfred Müller, Marco Scarsini
Venue: Mathematics of Operations Research (2001)

We consider two random vectorsX andY, such that the components ofÂ Â X are dominated in the convex order by the corresponding components ofÂ Â Y. We want to find conditions under which this implies that any positive linear combination of the components ofÂ Â X is dominated in the convex order by the same positive linear combination of the components ofÂ Â Y. This problem has a motivation in the comparison of portfolios in terms of risk. The conditions for the above dominance will concern the dependence structure of the two random vectorsX andY, namely, the two random vectors will have a common copula and will be conditionally increasing. This new concept of dependence is strictly related to the idea of conditionally increasing in sequence, but, in addition, it is invariant under permutation. We will actually prove that, under the above conditions,X will be dominated byY in the directionally convex order, which yields as a corollary the dominance for positive linear combinations. This result will be applied to a portfolio optimization problem.
