. This paper presents a library for the run-time construction and specialisation of generic or polytypic functions. This library utilises the type information that is available in dynamics to implement generic functions on their values. The library closely follows the static generic framework, both in its use and in its implementation. It can dynamically construct generic operations ranging fro...

A multiple precision library for floating-point calculations to any number of digits has been implemented in Matlab. The library is based on the ARPREC library. One application is discussed in detail, namely the evaluation in the complex plane of special functions in regions of bad conditioning. Through the use of Matlab classes, all the basic arithmetic operations are accessible using Matlab s...

This paper describes how the TODOS microarchitecture synthesis system uses information about available library components during the synthesis phases. TODOS stands for \TOp Down Synthesis". TODOS is an extension of the work described in Marwedel (1986). TODOS takes advantage of this information right from the beginning and contains an assignment algorithm considering more component-speci c libr...

OBJECTIVE This is a review of the master's-level curricula of the fifty-eight America Library Association-accredited library and information science programs and iSchools for evidence of coursework and content related to library instruction. Special emphasis is placed on the schools and programs that also offer coursework in medical or health sciences librarianship. METHODS Fifty-eight school...

Interteaching is a new method of classroom instruction that is based on behavioral principles but offers more flexibility than other behaviorally based methods. We examined the effectiveness of interteaching relative to a traditional form of classroom instruction-the lecture. In Study 1, participants in a graduate course in special education took short quizzes after alternating conditions of in...
