As XML is becoming more widely used, the demand for user-friendly XML editors is increasing. In the perspective of software engineering, the development of user-friendly editors comprises considerable portions of overall development costs. In order to reduce the costs, we introduce how model-based user interface generation techniques are applied to generating form-based XML editors. In our appr...

A grid-driven gridding (GDG) method is proposed to uniformly re-sample non-Cartesian raw data acquired in PROPELLER, in which a trajectory window for each Cartesian grid is first computed. The intensity of the reconstructed image at this grid is the weighted average of raw data in this window. Taking consider of the single instruction multiple data (SIMD) property of the proposed GDG, a CUDA ac...

Sofia Abstract We present a parallel algorithm to compute dynamic slices for distributed programs. Dynamic slices are used in debugging to re-execute only those statements of the original program that actually influenced an observed erroneous result. We introduce the notion of a Distributed Dependence Graph (DDG) as the graphical representation of the relevant dependencies among statements that...

In the present study, the overall economic impact of hull fouling on a mid-sized naval surface ship (Arleigh Burke-class destroyer DDG-51) has been analyzed. A range of costs associated with hull fouling was examined, including expenditures for fuel, hull coatings, hull coating application and removal, and hull cleaning. The results indicate that the primary cost associated with fouling is due ...

We evaluated the preferences of nursery pigs for diets containing increasing distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), varying in color, or high-protein distillers dried grains (HP-DDG) and the effects of flavor supplementation on pig preference and growth performance. In Exp. 1 through 5, diet preference was determined in weanling pigs adjusted to a commercial diet for at least 10 d, and t...

We propose to model a collection of documents by means of topic-specific domain dependency graphs (DDGs). We use LDA topic modeling to detect topics underlying a mixed-domain dataset and select topically pure documents from the collection. We aggregate counts of words and their dependency relations per topic, weigh them with Tf-Idf and produce a DDG by selecting the highest-ranked words and the...

We consider the average-case performance of a well-known approximation algorithm for the 0/1 knapsack problem, the Decreasing Density Greedy (DDG) algorithm. Let Un = {u1, . . . , un} be a set of n items, with each item ui having a size si and a profit pi, and Kn be the capacity of the knapsack. Given an instance of the 0/1 knapsack problem, let PL denote the total profit of an optimal solution...

The German Diabetes Association (DDG) has taken on the task of preparing and publishing evidence based guidelines for the therapy of diabetes mellitus and its complications. This short version of the DDG’s clinical practice recommendations consists of excerpts of the evidence based long versions. These recommendations are reworked once a year. Nevertheless, readers who apply them should still c...

This paper presents a solution for the problem of transparent recovery of asynchronous distributed computation on clusters of workstations when a fault occurs on a node. If the system has fault-tolerant features, it can survive the fault and continues its computations. Performance degradation is unavoidable when hardware redundancies are not available. It is a large advantage if the long-runtim...
