In 1981 Hong and Kung proved a lower bound on the amount of communication (amount of data moved between a small, fast memory and large, slow memory) needed to perform dense, n-by-n matrix-multiplication using the conventional O(n) algorithm, where the input matrices were too large to fit in the small, fast memory. In 2004 Irony, Toledo and Tiskin gave a new proof of this result and extended it ...

OBJECTIVES The number of children in care of the state continues to grow in BC, Canada with a historical legacy of child apprehension among criminalized and marginalized populations, particularly women of Aboriginal ancestry and sex workers.

Introduction This paper describes a year-long study of computer-mediated communication (CMC) tool use by high school students. The purpose of this study is to explore a range of variables related to characteristics of students in order to form a better understanding of how to construct learning environments where CMC tool use is an integral part of daily activity. Student characteristics are ex...

OBJECTIVE First, to investigate the intertester reliability of clinical shoulder instability and laxity tests, and second, to describe the mutual dependency of each test evaluated by each tester for identifying self-reported shoulder instability and laxity. METHODS A standardised protocol for conducting reliability studies was used to test the intertester reliability of the six clinical shoul...
