ions. Following SLAM, abstractions are represented by Boolean Programs. Unlike SLAM, the semantics of these programs is given via a variant of Mixed Transition Systems (MixTS) [7, 11]. Compared to Modal and 3-valued TSs, MixTSs allow for (a) 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: 11: 12: 13: 14: 15: 16: 17: int p1,p2,p3,x,y; p1=p2=p3=x=y=5; if(p3<=0) return; if(y<0) {if(x>2){ if(y>10) {if(p2>0) ERROR;}...

Large, established firms acquiring small, technology-based firms must manage them so as to both exploit their capabilities and technologies in a coordinated way and foster their exploration capacity by preserving their autonomy. We suggest that acquirers can resolve this coordination-autonomy dilemma by recognizing that the effect of structural form on innovation outcomes depends on the develop...

This paper argues against the view that Japanese indirect passives are restricted with respect to the base verb that they take. Specifically, it argues that, despite its initial plausibility, the oft-proposed generalization that unaccusatives cannot appear in indirect passives is too strong and the alleged distribution is a tendency at most, albeit a strong one. After closely examining the rest...

Circuit boards have become more intricate and material performance and reliability in the multilayer board manufacturing process is more critical than ever before. Prepregs must readily meet the new demands of today’s electronic product designs. The application of prepreg rheology in the lamination cycle can help characterize and design prepregs to allow enhanced performance under the increased...

Exploiting Thread-Level Parallelism on Simultaneous Multithreaded Processors

Observability is a key aspect of the state estimation problem of SLAM, However, the dimension and variables of SLAM system might be changed with new features, to which little attention is paid in the previous work. In this paper, a unified approach of observability analysis for SLAM system is provided, whether the dimension and variables of SLAM system are changed or not, we can use this approa...

This paper examines asymptotic expansions for estimation errors expressed explicitly as functions of underlying random variables. Taylor series expansions are obtained from which "rst and second moment approximations are derived. While the expansions are essentially equivalent to the traditional Nagar type, the terms are expressed in a form which enables moment approximations to be obtained in ...

In this paper various methods for the estimation of simultaneous equation models with lagged endogenow variables and List order s&fly correlated errors are discussed. The m.&ods dilfer in tbe number of instrumental variables used. The asymptotic and small sample properties of the various metlmds are compared, and the variables which must be included as insuuments to insure consistent estimates ...

We present an algorithm that can segment and track partial planar templates, from a sequence of images taken from a moving camera. By “partial planar template”, we mean that the template is the projection of a surface patch that is only partially planar; some of the points may correspond to other surfaces. The algorithm segments each image template to identify the pixels that belong to the domi...
