Abstract An effective method for reducing the effect of load latency in modern processors is data prefetching. One form of hardware-based data prefetching, stream buffers, has been shown to be particularly effective due to its ability to detect data streams and run ahead of them, prefetching as it goes. Unfortunately, in the past, the applicability of streaming was limited to stride intensive c...

in expecting much from their joint labours. The work before us is divided into two portions, the first embracing the history, classification, statistics of insanity, is from the pen of Dr. Tuke; the remaining chapters, which treat of the diagnosis, pathology, and treatment of mental disorders, are by Dr. Bucknill. Our space will not allow us to do more than briefly refer to some of the more imp...

Today, spelling and grammar checkers are integrated into modern word processing environments. In some contexts of writing however, these components are not sufficient. In companies that write technical documentation, or when writing a research paper for a specific scientific community, style guides that can only be found in handbooks need to be followed. If such rules are to be implemented in a...

Based on longitudinal data from a three year ethnographic study, this article uses discourse analytic methods to explore the literacy and social practices of three adolescent English language learners writing in an online fan fiction community. Theoretical constructs within globalization and literacy studies are used to describe the influences of new media and technologies on modern configurati...

This paper presents initial results regarding writing activities in the context of the ALADDIN project. The goal of the project is to teach Modern Standard Arabic in 5-year-old kindergarten students in Qatar. A total of 18 students, enrolled in the ‘Arabic Class’, participated for 9 weeks in the activities of the project. All students were native speakers of the Qatari dialect. Learning activit...

The development of multi-synchronous decision support systems to facilitate collaboration between diverse users is an emerging field in emergency management. Traditionally, information management for emergency response has been a centralised effort. However, modern devices such as smartphones provide new methods for gaining real-time information about a disaster from users in the field. In this...

To obtain repeatable results in modern networks, test descriptions need an expanded stream parameter framework that also augments aspects specified as Type-P for test packets. This memo proposes to update the IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) Framework with advanced considerations for measurement methodology and testing. The existing framework mostly assumes deterministic connectivity, and that a s...

Some modern DPLL-based propositional SAT solvers now have fast in-memory algorithms for generating unsatisfiability proofs and cores without writing traces to disk. However, in long SAT runs these algorithms still run out of memory. For several of these algorithms, here we discuss advantages and disadvantages, based on carefully designed experiments with our implementation of each one of them, ...

Censorship has a long history in Iran that has interfered with text production, i.e., original writing as well as translation. This phenomenon seems to have marked the borderline between the government and the ‘enlightened’ intellectuals throughout history in Iran. Different governments have delineated ‘redlines’ for authors and translators and dealt with these constructors of culture based on ...
