We begin with establishing properties of the unit revenue function, g(·). Lemma 6. 1. g(·) is a non-negative, continuous, non-decreasing, and concave function on R+, with g(0) = 0. 2. yg(1/y) is non-decreasing and concave on R++. 3. g(y)/y is non-increasing on R+. 4. If u, v > 0, then g(u) g(v) ≥ min( u v , 1), 1 u ∫ u 0 g(v)dv ≤ g(u/2). Proof. 1. That g(·) is non-negative, continuous and non-d...

The R-Tree and variant indexes have been used for multidimensional indexing since 1984 and applied to temporal data since 1994. Despite this, there are few functional implementations of the index that can be applied directly to the temporal data. This paper explores the use of the index for temporal subsequence searches and identifies two implications that must be considered so the index can be...

I t has been indicated that subboundaries apperar to have difficulty in sliding. This payer propose three mechanisms of the internal friction peak associated with subboundaries: diffusion ~ r e e p , ~ l i d e and climb of the jogged dislocations in subboundaries and the interaction of subboundaries and dislocations. We have analysed and calculated the internal friction

This paper presents the results of a n empirical study of software e r r o r detection using self checks and N-version voting. A total of 24 graduate students in computer science a t the University of Virginia and the University of California, Irvine, were hired a s programmers. Working independently, each first prepared a set of self checks using just the requirements specification of a n aero...
