A cardinality version of Beigel's nonspeedup theorem. We have shown that the notion of enumeration complexity allows to characterize the query complexity, even in the fault tolerant case. Then we went on to determine for any nite function f : f0; 1g n ! S the extremal values of e(f; A) which can be obtained for some nonrecursive set A. It is open to determine the possible intermediate values. M...

The presented computational model was fully implemented and tested. For validation purposes diierent visualization methods (cf. (Gapp 94)) are used to get an idea of the spatial relations' region of applicability (Figure 4 and 6). The system proceeds from a geometrical scene description and answers questions in natural language about the constellation of the objects involved in a cognitively pl...

21 Like all other papers that have addressed this problem, the mappings generated by this strategy use a heuristic. Experimental evidence has been presented to justify the use of this heuristic, however, one aspect we want to examine further is a bound on the ratio of our mapping algorithm versus the optimal. This examination is useful both for quantifying the worst-case and expected results of...

background: reported data from developed countries showed that annually a high percentage of health budgets consume for controlling and treatment of complications in diabetes disease. early diagnosis of diabetes, education and health cares, not only prevent progress of disease and complications but also it is cost effective. methods: for gestational diabetes screening, all pregnant women attend...

Amid all the complications of dealing with globalization and childhood, including its great unevenness, a crucial issue involves its relationship to larger, or at least earlier, processes of change. No conclusion can hope to embrace the various findings of the essays in this collection, but a final comment on this relationship will help. The fundamental transformation of modern childhood began ...

interface language could be developed for other languages such as Verilog or even a Larch-based speciication. A parser would be developed that translates the VSPEC interface for each of these languages into a general abstract syntax tree. Constraint checking and other analysis could be performed on the general AST independent of the original language of the speciication. Tools to synthesize des...
