Log concavity of a sequence in a conjecture of Simion
Authors: Martin Hildebrand
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series A (2002)

Simion presented a conjecture involving the unimodality of a sequence whose elements are the number of lattice paths in a rectangular grid with the Ferrers diagram of a partition removed. In this paper, the author uses ideas from an earlier paper where special cases of this conjecture were proved to prove log concavity and unimodality of the sequence.

Numerical Methods for Chemical Engineers with MATLAB Applications with Cdrom, 1st edition
Authors: Alkis Constantinides, Navid Mostoufi
Venue:  (1999)

:Master numerical methods using MATLAB, today's leading software for problem solving This complete guide to numerical methods in chemical engineering is the first to take full advantage of MATLAB's powerful calculation environment. Every chapter contains several examples using general MATLAB functions that implement the method and can also be applied to many other problems in the same category. The authors begin by introducing the solution of nonlinear equations using several standard approaches, including methods of successive substitution and linear interpolation; the Wegstein method, the Newton-Raphson method; the Eigenvalue method; and synthetic division algorithms. With these fundamentals in hand, they move on to simultaneous linear algebraic equations, covering matrix and vector operations; Cramer's rule; Gauss methods; the Jacobi method; and the characteristic-value problem. Additional coverage includes: Finite difference methods, and interpolation of equally and unequally spaced points Numerical differentiation and integration, including differentiation by backward, forward, and central finite differences; Newton-Cotes formulas; and the Gauss Quadrature Two detailed chapters on ordinary and partial differential equations Linear and nonlinear regression analyses, including least squares, estimated vector of parameters, method of steepest descent, Gauss-Newton method, Marquardt Method, Newton Method, and multiple nonlinear regression The numerical methods covered here represent virtually all of those commonly used by practicing chemical engineers. The focus on MATLAB enables readers to accomplish more, with less complexity, than was possiblewith traditional FORTRAN. For those unfamiliar with MATLAB, a brief introduction is provided as an Appendix. The accompanying CD-ROM contains MATLAB 5.0 (and higher) source code for more than 60 examples, methods, and function scripts covered in the book. These programs are compatible with all three operating systems: Windows(r), MacOS(r), and UNIX(r).
Agent behavior and agent models in unregulated markets
Authors: K. Smith, R. Paranjape, L. Benedicenti
Venue: ACM SIGAPP Applied Computing Review (2001)

Mobile-agent systems show significant promise as the most effective way to harness the power of the Internet and the massive collection of information and opportunity that the Internet holds. However the efficient organization and control of these systems remains one of a number of unsolved problems with this approach to network computing. This paper examines a mobile-agent system with specific focus on environment sensing, preemptive load balancing and open agent markets. Agent behaviour is studied with actual agent systems using progressively sophisticated agent migration strategies.It is shown that actual modeling shows interesting and difficult to predict behaviour in the agent systems. It is shown that mobile agents with relatively simple migration strategies can cause loads in self-regulating agent markets to oscillate. It is further shown that using Autoregressive modeling to predict the market behaviour can allow individual agents to significantly outperform other agents. However the fidelity of the model is critical to the success of the agents. The criticality of good agent strategies and actual agent system modeling is thus highlighted.

A scripting language to help the blind to program visually
Authors: Robert M. Siegfried
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2002)

Computer programming, a career path that has been accessible to the blind, has changed in recent years as more systems use graphical user interfaces. These changes make it more difficult for the blind to work productively as programmers. Visual Basic, a RAD programming language that stores forms in text format, requires a great deal of information to be specified. A scripting language is introduced which simplifies the task and allows blind programmers to specify forms in a much simpler fashion. An example and a formal grammar are included.
Low Redundancy in Static Dictionaries with Constant Query Time
Authors: Rasmus Pagh
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

A static dictionary is a data structure storing subsets of a finite universe U, answering membership queries. We show that on a unit cost RAM with word size $\Theta(\log |U|)$, a static dictionary for n-element sets with constant worst case query time can be obtained using $B+O(\log\log |U|)+o(n)$ bits of storage, where $B=\ceiling{\log_2\binom{|U|}{n}}$ is the minimum number of bits needed to represent all n-element subsets of U.
Women Encounter Technology: Changing Patterns of Employment in the Third World
Authors: Mitter Swasti, Sheila Rowbotham
Venue:  (1997)

:This collection of essays explores the effects of information technology on women's employment and the nature of women's work in the third world. Contributors discuss the challenges faced by women, along with their responses and organizing strategies, as they adjust to new technologies in less affluent communities. Also outlined are the roles that family, ideology, state policies and trade union structures can play in distributing information technology-related employment among women and men. Particular chapters highlight differences in the interests and needs of different groups of women, challenging the concept of a monolithic, specifically feminine vision of technology and science. The book provides a critique of postmodernism and ecofeminism and suggests ways in which modern technologies could promote gender equality in the developing world.

Adaptive Wavelet Schemes for Elliptic Problems---Implementation and Numerical Experiments
Authors: Arne Barinka, Titus Barsch, Philippe Charton, Albert Cohen, Stephan Dahlke, Wolfgang Dahmen, Karsten Urban
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

Recently an adaptive wavelet scheme could be proved to be asymptotically optimal for a wide class of elliptic operator equations in the sense that the error achieved by an adaptive approximate solution behaves asymptotically like the smallest possible error that can be realized by any linear combination of the corresponding number of wavelets. On one hand, the results are purely asymptotic. On the other hand, the analysis suggests new algorithmic ingredients for which no prototypes seem to exist yet. It is therefore the objective of this paper to develop suitable data structures for the new algorithmic components and to obtain a quantitative validation of the theoretical results. We briefly review first the main theoretical facts, describe the main ingredients of the algorithm, highlight the essential data structures, and illustrate the results by one- and two-dimensional numerical examples including comparisons with an adaptive finite element scheme.
Introduction to Multimedia Systems, 1st edition
Authors: Sugata Mitra, Gaurav Bhatnagar, Shikha Mehta
Venue:  (2001)

:Introduction to Multimedia Systems is designed to be a general introduction to the broad field of multimedia... more specifically digital interactive multimedia. The editors have included topics such as the principles of "multiple" and "media," including sound, two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics, animation, and text. All of these elements are stitched together by the programmer, or multimedia designer, based on the conceptualization of the designer.In order to take full advantage of the potential for a wide array of multimedia applications it is important to have a broad understanding of the principles of various media. The person preparing a multimedia "package," which may include such media as sound, computer graphics, and software, will most likely have a strong background in only one or perhaps none of the media to be used. Introduction to Multimedia Systems has been developed to be the first place to turn, both as an introductory textbook or as a professional reference for anyone diving into multimedia preparation. Multimedia is first and foremost a medium of communication. In order to take advantage of the nearly unlimited potential provided by digital environments a full survey of multimedia capabilities is covered in this book. Website Feature: Learning by doing! The editors currently use the book in combination with a wide array of sample software and weblinks for students to learn how to build by example. Each part of the book will have a direct link to a publicly accessible website that will maintain these available software tools. The weblinks will be updated as software versions advance, and most of the software involves demo or scaled down versions of commercially available multimedia design software/editing tools.

Accurate Solution of Weighted Least Squares by Iterative Methods
Authors: Elena Y. Bobrovnikova, Stephen A. Vavasis
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

We consider the weighted least-squares (WLS) problem with a very ill-conditioned weight matrix. WLS problems arise in many applications including linear programming, electrical networks, boundary value problems, and structures. Because of roundoff errors, standard iterative methods for solving a WLS problem with ill-conditioned weights may not give the correct answer. Indeed, the difference between the true and computed solution (forward error) may be large. We propose an iterative algorithm, called MINRES-L, for solving WLS problems. The MINRES-L method is the application of MINRES, a Krylov-space method due to Paige and Saunders [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 12 (1975), pp. 617--629], to a certain layered linear system. Using a simplified model of the effects of roundoff error, we prove that MINRES-L ultimately yields answers with small forward error. We present computational experiments for some applications.
Digital/Real: Blobmeister: Erste Gebaute Projekte: First Built Projects with Cdrom
Authors: Marcos Novak, Harald Kloft
Venue:  (2001)

:At last architects have discovered the free form shape - multiple curved surfaces, which do not exist in Cartesian geometry. What has long been usual in product design is now being adopted in architecture, these shapes are being generated by special software, and then they are subsequently built. Some young and innovative architectural firms have seized the opportunity to expand the boundaries of architectural space, showing a willingness to experiment with the new technology, and these young architects, or blobmeister as Wes Jones rather negatively called them, are now moving on to built examples. In this book, 11 examples from Europe, the USA and Japan are presented, showing that far from being out of touch with reality, cyber-architects do transform their dreams into actual buildings, thus concluding the endless alternatives and possibilities implicit in every design. For it is only built architecture which shows true mastery. This volume extensively documents the complex design process, from the digital conception of the designs, the creation of models, to the final photographs of the building sites and the finished structures. Thematic essays give the reader an insight into the history of the digital scene, assessing its influence on architectural culture to date and evaluating its future potential. The accompanying CD-Rom shows dynamic animations. ADDITION: CD-ROM
How Networks Work, 5th edition
Authors: Frank J. Derfler, Les Freed, Patricia Douglas
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:More than 80 percent of the personal computers used in business and education are connected to a network or the Internet. The chances are good that you'll have to interact with a network soon if you don't already. This book helps you understand computer networks in several ways. It helps to scratch the intellectual itch you might have about where the data resides and what goes on inside the cable, equipment, and software. If you understand the basic structure and operation of a network, you can be more efficient in your job. The information in this book is an excellent foundation for growth if you want to learn more about networking. Finally, you can use this book as a training tool for working on networked computers. Computer networking didn't just emerge as a unique and independent technology. Networking depends on many things you've seen or are familiar with already. In fact, modern networks have roots in the early telegraph and telephone systems. In this book, we take advantage of those historical ties to explain and illustrate the underlying technology of networks in a simple graphic format. Then, we move into modern networking and explain the relationships between the hardware and software in networks. Our illustrations detail packets, network interface cards, servers, routers, management software, and many other aspects of networking. Our constant goal is to provide useful information in an easily understood manner. The information in this book isn't specific to any particular type of computer or network operating system. We illustrate models of operation and tell you how some popular products fit into the models. Whether your computer is an IBM PC, DEC VAX, or anApple Macintosh; whether your network operating system is NetWare, LANtastic, or UNIX; and whether your cabling is copper or fiber-optic, the information in this book applies to your network.
Developing Applications with Visual Basic and UML
Authors: Paul R. Reed,  Jr.
Venue:  (1999)

:An essential resource for Visual Basic (VB) programmers who want to develop applications that are both resilient and robust, Developing Applications with Visual Basic and UML describes a proven development process for designing and implementing object-oriented client/server applications in VB using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Guided by his own experiences as a developer applying UML and VB, the author provides clear explanations of the fundamentals of UML while also examining and illustrating the often misrepresented object-oriented properties of Visual Basic. In addition, the book incorporates in-depth information on developing VB applications utilizing DNA concepts, incorporating technologies such as DCOM and MTS, and integrating Web tools such as ASP, VB Script, and JavaScript to Internet-enable Visual Basic applications. A significant case study runs throughout the book, leading the reader through the lifecycle of a projectofrom requirements analysis to modeling and prototyping through finalizing the architecture and generating code. Through this study, the author demonstrates the design benefits of UML and shows how to translate a UML specification into Visual Basic code. The author includes detailed coverage of the following topics: Uncovering the events for which an application must be responsible Modeling use cases with UML Using Rational Rose to manage UML artifacts Translating the object-based UML class diagram to a relational design supported by SQL Server or Oracle Transitioning from classes and use cases to the UML's dynamic models, the sequence and collaboration diagramsMapping UML to Visual Basic deliverables Generating code from the UML class diagram Distributed technology solutions based on Distributed Internet Architecture (DNA) using Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) and Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) Web-enabling VB applications using Active Server Pages (ASP), VBScript, JavaScript, and Microsoft's Visual InterDev With the information and expert techniques presented in this book, readers can significantly enhance their Visual Basic programming skills as well as their overall understanding of how an effective development process impacts the quality of the final application.
