This paper introduces Index-Set Splitting (ISS), a technique that splits a loop containing several conditional statements into several loops with less complex control flow. Contrary to the classic loop unswitching technique, ISS splits loops when the conditional is loop variant. ISS uses an Index Sub-range Tree (IST) to identify the structure of the conditionals in the loop and to select which ...

software development. The majority of agil ists take a test-driven approach to development where they write a unit test before they write the domain code to fulfill that unit test, with the end result being that they have a regression unit test suite at all times. They also consider acceptance tests as first-class requirements artifact, not only promoting regular stakeholder validation of their...

We demonstrate a new approach to the analysis of extensive multi-energy data. For the case of d + 4 He, we produce a phase shift analysis covering for the energy range 3 to 11 MeV. The key idea is the use of iterative perturbative data-to-potential inversion which can produce potentials which reproduce the data simultaneously over a range of energies. It thus effectively regularizes the extract...

Interpretable semantic textual similarity (iSTS) task adds a crucial explanatory layer to pairwise sentence similarity. We address various components of this task: chunk level semantic alignment along with assignment of similarity type and score for aligned chunks with a novel system presented in this paper. We propose an algorithm, iMATCH, for the alignment of multiple non-contiguous chunks ba...

Nas últimas décadas houve um aumento significativo das ISTs entre a população da faixa etária superior 60 anos. O objetivo foi avaliar o perfil sorológico e as representações sociais sobre Sífilis em idosos. Para desse grupo realizado teste imunocromatográfico treponêmico. Os testes foram realizados 133 participantes, com idade 84 anos de ambos os sexos, resultado não reagente 100% dos casos. A...

This paper describes slope traversability analysis for a planetary exploration rover based on a terramechanics approach. In this research, the slope traversability is defined as consisting both of slope climbing and traversing (crossing) capabilities. The authors have been investigated traction mechanics between a wheel of a rover and loose soil. Applying our advantages in the wheel-soil intera...

Numerous theoreti cal app roach es implicate a role for altered cogn it ive processing in th e develop ment, maintenance, and treatment of a wide range of clinically relevan t beh aviors. Clinical scient ists have been slow, however , to capitalize on the wealth of contemporary theoretical, measurement, and analytical models of cognitive processing when constructing, evalu ating, and ex tending...

ists with miles of beaches, sea breezes, an arts and museum district, waterfront restaurants, shopping and more. It is also home to a major seaport, Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, a large health care system, military bases, refineries and chemical plants. Port activity and tourism remain important components of the Corpus Christi economy. However, some sectors are declining in importance,...

The Uni ed Modeling Language (UML) is considered a signi cant step in the development of object-oriented (OO) notations in that it is based on some of the best OO modeling experiences. In this paper we are considering more speci cally its use in the context of high-quality modeling of complex systems. We believe that the lack of rm semantics for the modeling notations used makes, among others, ...

Com a necessidade de se entender relação entre os seres humanos e as doenças, epidemiologia surge como pilar essencial, capaz contemplar questões nem sempre tão objetivas. Visto que quando fala sobre ISTs mulheres, um tabu muito grande entrepõe, não remetem só saúde, no seu conceito mais restritivo, mas problemas sociais interferem diretamente. O objetivo desse artigo foi buscar compreensão da ...
