Recalibrating Reperfusion Waypoints.

The realization that thrombus was the cause and not the consequence of acute myocardial infarction was a transformative pathophysiologic insight.1 An even more stunning observation was the subsequent discovery that restoration of coronary patency could salvage ischemic myocardium and improve clinical outcomes in ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI).2,3 Assertive clinical investigati...

Recalibrating Software Reliability Models

In spite of much research effort, there is no universally applicable software reliability growth model which can be trusted to give accurate predictions of reliability in all circumstances. Worse, we are not even in a position to be able to decide a priori which of the many models is most suitable in a particular context. Our own recent work has tried to resolve this problem by developing techn...

Fig. 1: Mpeg-4 Coding Scheme

A programmable processor architecture for MPEG-4 video is proposed, that can serve as a coprocessor module in MPEG-4 decoder systems. It consists of a 64-bit dual-issue VLIW macroblock engine, a separate RISC core for bitstream parsing and system processing, and an autonomous I/O processor. A separate DSP is used for MPEG audio support. The architecture is fully programmable and supports parall...

History of Polynesian Languages

We have been using the term “Polynesian languages” implying that these languages belong in a single group and that they are somehow related. But what does it mean to say that languages are related? What is the basis for the assumption that, say, Hawaiian and Samoan are related? There are two major methods that are relevant to these questions: the comparative method and lexicostatistics. The com...
