Today, leisure time is changing by globalization and using of information technology. Most of people especially women prefer to spend their leisure time by modern technologies. Thus, they spend their leisure time to look up satellite programs and use of the internet. This research has done for sociological consideration of the globalization of communications (internet  & satellite) on leisure t...

Given any irreversible program with running time T and space complexity S, and given any e > 0, Bennett shows how to construct an equivalent reversible program with running time O(T1+) and space complexity O(S In T). Although these loose upper bounds are formally correct, they are misleading due to a hidden constant factor in the space bound. It is shown that this constant factor is approximate...

In a recent paper, De Baets et al. have characterized the fuzzytolerance and fuzzy equivalence relations that a given strict order relation iscompatible with. In this paper, we generalize this characterization by consideringan arbitrary (crisp) relation instead of a strict order relation, while payingattention to the particular cases of a reflexive or irreflexive relation. The reasoninglargely ...

This paper proposes state-of-the-art models for time-event relation extraction (TERE). The models are specifically designed to work effectively with relations that span multiple sentences and paragraphs, i.e., inter-sentence TERE. Our main idea is: (i) to build a computational representation of the context of the two target relation arguments, and (ii) to encode it as structural features in Sup...

Scalability has been used extensively as a de facto performance criterion for evaluating parallel algorithms and architectures. However, for many, scalability has theoretical interests only since it does not reveal execution time. In this paper, the relation between scalability and execution time is carefully studied. Results show that the isospeed scalability well characterizes the variation o...

The present study used a longitudinal design to test aspects of Kirby and Herrnstein’s (1995) theory of time discounting. Specifically, the prediction that preferences reverse due to changes in delay was tested in a longitudinal study of career-path selections made by employees in a Hong Kong real estate consultancy. Over a three-year period, 16 of 23 subjects reversed their career preference f...

\Adjustment of an inverse matrix corresponding to changes in the elements of a given column or a given row of the original matrix," Ann. 22 large systems. Isospeed scalability is a dimensionless scalar. It is easy to understand and is independent of sequential processing. When an initial speed is chosen, average speed is independent of problem size, system size, and sequential processing. In ot...

Much work has been done on the problem of synthesizing a processor array from a system of recurrence equations. Some researchers limit communication to nearest neighbors in the array; others use broadcast. In many cases, neither of the above approaches result in an optimal execution time. In this paper a technique called bounded broadcast is explored whereby an element of a processor array can ...
