With increasing attention to multiculturalism and worldwide trade, pictorial symbols are increasingly being used to convey important messages. Well-designed symbols have the ability to communicate large amounts of information at a glance. They can also be useful in conveying information to persons who cannot read a printed verbal message, either because they have vision problems (e.g., older ad...

Underwater radiated noise from merchant ships was measured opportunistically from multiple spatial aspects to estimate signature source levels and directionality. Transiting ships were tracked via the Automatic Identification System in a shipping lane while acoustic pressure was measured at the ships' keel and beam aspects. Port and starboard beam aspects were 15°, 30°, and 45° in compliance wi...

The Comrade flow compiles ANSI-C without restrictions or annotations into combined HW-SW-solutions for reconfigurable adaptive computers, exploiting both a conventional CPU and a reconf. compute unit.

This paper describes an ANSI FORTRAN 77 code, VLUGR2, vectorized for the Cray YMP, that is based on an adaptive-grid nite-diierence method to solve time-dependent two-dimensional systems of partial diierential equations.

Plasters are produced from a light refractory material, mainly MgO (M.P. 2800ºC), a binder, and a void forming substance for insulating purposes. Different oxides from the slag penetrate into these voi...

The presence of side effects in even a very simple language of expressions gives rise to a number of semantic questions. The issue of evaluation order becomes a crucial one and, unless a specific order is enforced, the language becomes non-deterministic. In this paper we study the denotational semantics of such a language under a variety of possible evaluation strategies, from simpler to more c...

The specific absorption rate (SAR) from mobile telephones at horizontal and vertical positions is investigated in human adult and child heads wearing metal-rim spectacles and having metallic implants. The SAR values calculated by Finite Difference Time Domain (FTDT) method are compared to the actual ANSI/IEEE standards and to the 900/1800/2100 MHz electromagnetic radiation limits according to E...

Object-based storage is the natural evolution of the block storage interface, aimed at efficiently and effectively meeting the performance, reliability, security, and service requirements demanded by current and future applications. The object-based storage interface provides an organizational container, called an object, into which higher-level software (e.g., file systems, databases, and user...

Status of This Memo The following is a RFC edition of the ANSI "Guidelines for the Specification of the Structure of the Domain Specific Part (DSP) of the ISO Standard NSAP Address". It should be understood that this ANSI working document is in a draft state and subject to change. These Guidelines are an important prerequirement to allow IP addressing within the ISO connectionless protocol (CLN...

We evaluate the Texas Instruments TMS320C6x C compiler and assembly optimizer. Unlike previous attempts to evaluate these tools, we measure not just execution time, but also code size, wasted program memory, and several other metrics. Also, we compare the performance of the compiler on ANSI C benchmarks with that of C benchmarks that have been optimized for the TMS3206x compiler. In addition, w...
