Embedded approaches to the design of hybrid architectures for knowledge representation and reasoning organize the component inference tools around a designated kernel, which provides the basic problem-solving mode of the architecture. This approach suffers from lack of flexibility as the chosen kernel might not always provide the most appropriate control and problem-solving architecture for the...

Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii are pathogenic basidiomycetous yeasts and the commonest cause of fungal infection of the central nervous system. Cryptococci are typically haploid but several inter-species, inter-varietal and intra-varietal hybrids have been reported. It has a bipolar mating system with sexual reproduction occurring normally between two individuals with opposite mating typ...

Chip multiprocessors (CMP) are widely used for high performance computing. While this presents significant new opportunities, such as on-chip high inter-core bandwidth and low inter-core latency, it also presents new challenges in the form of inter-core resource conflict and contention. A challenge to be addressed is how well current parallel programming paradigms, such as MPI, OpenMP and hybri...

In this paper, we present a hybrid graph-drawing algorithm (GDA) for layouting large, naturally-clustered, disconnected graphs. We called it a hybrid algorithm because it is an implementation of a series of already known graph-drawing and graphtheoretic procedures. We remedy in this hybrid the problematic nature of the current force-based GDA which has the inability to scale to large, naturally...

A number of inter-cell interference coordination schemes have been proposed to mitigate the inter-cell interference problem for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems and among them, partial frequency reuse is considered one of the most promising approaches. In this paper, we propose an inter-cell interference mitigation scheme for an OFDMA downlink system, which makes us...

Time-Division Multiple-Access (TDMA) and Code-Division Multiple-Access (CDMA) have received much attention as potentially attractive multiple-access techniques for wireless networks, such as the future Personal Communications Network. The standard TDMA cellular network is designed so that physically adjacent cells are assigned different frequency bands, or channels, in order to reduce inter-cel...

We propose a framework to estimate the number of timing errors experienced by an application as it runs on timing-speculative processor. It takes hybrid approach combining accurate gate-level dynamic analysis engine find in processor’s control network with fast architecture-level execution-driven simulator based path activation model datapath. develop instruction-level error that estimat...
