Shift Reduce Parsing is a common algorithm used in compilers and natural language processing, and can be used to compose a sequence of fixed-length vectors into a single vector of equal length. Previous versions are implemented using predetermined computational graphs that trade excessive memory and computation to minimize transfers of memory from the device to the host. In this paper, I presen...

String matching is the problem of finding all the occurrences of a pattern in a text. We present a new method to compute the combinatorial shift function (“matching shift”) of the well-known Boyer–Moore string matching algorithm. This method implies the computation of the length of the longest suffixes of the pattern ending at each position in this pattern. These values constituted an extra-pre...

Oyster population reproductive capacity and dynamics are controlled at the most basic level by the observed sex-ratios. Since oysters are sequential, protandric hermaphrodites the population sex-ratio is related to the demographics (shell length, age, and biomass). Oysters were collected from June through to August 2008 at twelve bars in the James, Rappahannock and Great Wicomico Rivers, Virgin...

Bitwise operations are executed very fast in computer architecture. Algorithms aiming to benefit from this intrinsic property can be classified as bit-parallel algorithms. Bit-parallelism has been widely investigated in pattern matching area since the introduction of the Shift-Or algorithm. In the original idea, there were no shift mechanism, and the input pattern length is required to be less ...

Muscular adaptation which occurs following eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage has been associated with changes in the mechanical properties of muscle manifested as a shift in the length-tension relationship towards longer muscle lengths. However, it is not clear whether this shift is a long term adaptation to eccentric exercise. The purpose of this study was to investigate functional adap...
