External Sector Records Challenging Performance DEVELOPMENTS IN THE EXTERNAL SECTOR

in the corresponding quarter of 2009, the decline in the current account surplus was steep (Table 1 and Chart 1). This development was traced to the overwhelming influence of the high levels of import of goods and services over the surplus recorded in exports and current transfer (net) accounts suggesting the need for reforms in the foreign trade sub-sector.

Technical Report: Compressive Temporal Higher Order Cyclostationary Statistics

The application of nonlinear transformations to a cyclostationary signal for the purpose of revealing hidden periodicities has proven to be useful for applications requiring signal selectivity and noise tolerance. The fact that the hidden periodicities, referred to as cyclic moments, are often compressible in the Fourier domain motivates the use of compressive sensing (CS) as an efficient acqui...

CORDS Schema Integration Environment * November 1995 External Technical Report

The CORDS Multidatabase System (MDBS) provides applications with an integrated view of a collection of distributed heterogeneous data sources. Applications are presented with a relational view of the available data and are able to access the data using standard SQL operations.
