The objective of this paper is to describe our experience in rapidly reengineering legacy software through the application of Java reflection in a research compiler. This process would be of value to language evolution and development e↵orts, in general, and reengineering e↵orts, in particular. It was performed in the course of a software project that has slowly evolved from a simple language t...

AMS 2000 subject classifications: primary 62F12 62M10 secondary 62G08 62G20 Keywords: Autoregressive time series Local polynomial Oracle efficiency Yule–Walker estimator Moving average a b s t r a c t Time series often contain unknown trend functions and unobservable error terms. As is known, Yule–Walker estimators are asymptotically efficient for autoregressive time series. The focus of this a...

This essay introduces a new featured section, to be published in Small Axe annually, that explores the critical vocabulary of field Caribbean studies.

Machine-mediated training of dynamic task completion is typically implemented with passive intervention via virtual fixtures or active assist by means of record and replay strategies. During interaction with a real dynamic system however, the user relies on both visual and haptic feedback real-time in order to elicit desired motions. This work investigates human performance in a Fitts’ type tar...

We evaluate occurrence of seizure-like activity in computational network models based on the histology of mammalian cortex. In the simulations, seizure onset activity in a network (active patch) is connected to a larger patch of cells (passive patch). The following scenarios were investigated: (1) the activeand passive patches are contiguous with all connectivity intact; (2) active and passive ...

Abstract “Queer” is a relatively recent and somewhat controversial term in African studies. Yet it proving to be productive, not only for understanding subjectivities of sexuality gender, but also situating Africa’s position the larger economy knowledge. Otu van Klinken explore productive tensions between “queer” “Africa,” aim read Africa as queer from Africa. Thus, rather than imagining polar ...

abstract forecasting electrical energy demand and consumption is one of the important decision-making tools in distributing companies for making contracts scheduling and purchasing electrical energy. this paper studies load consumption modeling in hamedan city province distribution network by applying esn neural network. weather forecasting data such as minimum day temperature, average day temp...
