Why would I believe your store is better than mine?
Comparing the performance of computer systems leads to measurement techniques and experiments that are often questioned or interpreted with prejudice, faith, opinion or sceptical caution. In the main, such results are usually derived either through empirical analysis or simulation. A third technique, analytical modelling, is less widely adopted but can exhibit a number of advantages over the ot...
متن کاملA-chain Maturation Reexamined: Why Japanese Children Perform Better on “Full” Unaccusatives than on Passives
This paper suggests that the theory of A-chain maturation can account for an asymmetry in the development of “full” unaccusatives and passives in Japanese. We show that the early success with full unaccusatives is due to the availability of unergative misanalysis. The nominative case marker drop phenomenon and the syntactic analysis of the full unaccusative also support this hypothesis. We clai...
متن کاملWhy Would an ASIC Foundry Accept Anything Less than Full Scan?
A key force behind IBM’s growth in the application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) market is the ability to sign off on multi-million-gate designs without requiring test vectors, presenting a savings in both time and money to customers. Once a customer ensures (via formal verification and/or functional simulation) that the design functions as required, static timing analysis (STA) ensures th...
متن کاملDelta Procalcitonin Is a Better Indicator of Infection Than Absolute Procalcitonin Values in Critically Ill Patients: A Prospective Observational Study
Purpose. To investigate whether absolute value of procalcitonin (PCT) or the change (delta-PCT) is better indicator of infection in intensive care patients. Materials and Methods. Post hoc analysis of a prospective observational study. Patients with suspected new-onset infection were included in whom PCT, C-reactive protein (CRP), temperature, and leukocyte (WBC) values were measured on inclusi...
متن کاملBetter Survival of Total Knee Replacement in Patients Older Than 70 Years: A Prospective Study with 8 To 12 Years Follow-Up
Background: Modern knee designs have popularized its use in younger patients due to its better performance. There remains uncertainty whether higher demands of these patients can affect implant survivorship. Purpose: To assess whether modern knee designs have provided similar results in patients younger than 70 years versus older patients. Methods: We included 203 consecutive patients (236 ...
