Most research works about ontology or schema matching are based on symmetric similarity measures. By transposing the association rules paradigm, we propose to use asymmetric measures in order to enhance matching. We suggest an extensional and asymmetric matching method based on the discovery of significant implications between concepts described in textual documents. We use a probabilistic mode...

This study investigates how obedience in a Milgram-like experiment is predicted by interindividual differences. Participants were 35 males and 31 females aged 26-54 from the general population who were contacted by phone 8 months after their participation in a study transposing Milgram's obedience paradigm to the context of a fake television game show. Interviews were presented as opinion polls...

Two rhesus monkeys were tested for octave generalization in 8 experiments by transposing 6- and 7-note musical passages by an octave and requiring same or different judgments. The monkeys showed no octave generalization to random-synthetic melodies, atonal melodies, or individual notes. They did show complete octave generalization to childhood songs (e.g., "Happy Birthday") and tonal melodies (...

Traditionally restructuring compilers were only able to apply program transformations in order to exploit certain characteristics of the target architecture. Adaptation of data structures was limited to e.g. linearization or transposing of arrays. However, as more complex data structures are required to exploit characteristics of the data operated on, current compiler support appears to be inap...

Here X is a vector of variables, all lying in the set S. The cost vector is denoted c. A is a matrix, b a vector, and together they form the constraints on the variables. When S is the set of real numbers, the mathematical model is said to be a linear program (LP). If S is a binary set or the set of integers, the problem is an integer program (IP). If some variables in X belong to the set of re...

This paper analyzes several aspects regarding the improvement of software performance for applications written in the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). We address an issue of great importance when programming a CUDA application: the Graphics Processing Unit’s (GPU’s) memory management through transpose kernels. We also benchmark and evaluate the performance for progressively optimizin...

Enzyme loci located on chromosome J and U were mapped cytologically by means of a Y translocation technique. A linkage map of the two chromosomes was established in a parallel experiment and the recombination frequency in different regions of the chromosomes determined. A comparison of the cytogenetic localization of the enzyme genes in D. subobscura and D. melanogaster indicates that many para...

This paper suggests a method to synthesize a long background music sequence from a given short music clip in real-time. The copies of input clip are placed with overlapped region, the length of which is computed by random or clip matching method. Based on pitch, rhythm and chord cut criteria, the cutting point of the two clips is computed within the overlapped region. As a result, the two clips...

Hypercube algorithms are developed for a variety of communication-intensive tasks such as transposing a matrix, histogramming, sending a (long) message from one node to another, broadcasting a message from one node to all others, broadcasting a message from each node to all others, and exchanging messages between nodes via a fixed permutation. The algorithm for exchanging via a fixed permutatio...

With the increasing popularity of the use of compressed images, an intuitive approach for lowering computational complexity towards a practically efficient image retrieval system is to propose a scheme that is able to perform retrieval computation directly in the compressed domain. In this paper, we investigate the use of energy histograms of the low frequency DCT coefficients as features for t...
