The American Library Association (ALA) codified this with the Library Bill of Righ...

The principal question of this paper is: Why are religious values special in refusal of lifesaving medical treatment? This question is approached through a critical examination of a common kind of refusal of treatment case, one involving a rational adult. The central value cited in defence of honouring such a patient's refusal is autonomy. Once autonomy is isolated from other justificatory fact...

The Counterflow Pipeline (CFP) organization may be a good target for synthesis of application-specific microprocessors for embedded systems because it has a regular and simple structure. This paper describes a design environment for tailoring CFP's to an embedded application to improve performance. Our system allows exploring the design space of all possible CFP's for a given embedded applicati...

7 determine the maximum multiple of the demand vector that one can satisfy subject to the capacity constraints. The solution, , to the CFP problem is then used to scale the demands, thereby creating a feasible MCNF problem. We then randomly assign costs per unit ow for each commodity in each edge and solve the resulting MCNF problem. For the instances that we solved, the cost range was 1 to 100...

The world is changing and changing fast. Contemporary students live in a world full of impressions, fast changing viewpoints, ubiquitous information, zapping behaviour, play and joy etc. They use facilities such as MSN, on-line gaming, and SMS. They expect a seamless access to information, mostly in a social context. At the same time we see drastic changes in learning environments, moving them ...

The geometric approach to intra-opus pattern discovery (in which notes are represented as points in pitch-time space in order to discover repeated patterns within a piece of music) shows promise particularly for polyphonic music, but has attracted some criticism because: (1) the approach extends to a limited number of inexact repetition types only; (2) typically geometric pattern discovery algo...
