Cascade Rls with Subsection Adaptation

Speech coding or speech compression is one of the important aspects of speech communications nowadays. By coding the speech, the speed needed to transmit the digitized speech, called the bit rate, can be reduced. This means that for a certain speech communications channel, the lower the bit rate of the speech coding, the more communicating parties can be carried on that channel. This research h...

On Monadic NP vs. Monadic co-NP

It is a well-known result of Fagin that the complexity class NP coincides with the class of problems expressible in existential second-order logic (1 ;). Monadic NP is the class of problems expressible in monadic Z;, i.e., 1: with the restriction that the second-order quantifiers range only over sets (as opposed to ranging over, say, binary relations). We prove that connectivity of finite graph...

Notes on NP Completeness

Here are some notes which I wrote to try to understand what NP completeness means. Most of these notes are taken from Appendix B in Douglas West’s graph theory book, and also from wikipedia. There’s nothing remotely original about these notes. I just wanted all this material to filter through my brain and onto paper. I also wanted to collect everything together in a way I like. Here’s what thes...

ASHP statement on the pharmacy technician's role in pharmacy informatics.

The American Society of Health- System Pharmacists (ASHP) believes that specially trained pharmacy technicians can assume important supportive roles in pharmacy informatics. These roles include automation and technology systems management, management of projects, training and education, policy and governance, customer service, charge integrity, and reporting. Such roles require pharmacy technic...
