Guide dogs are one type of assistance in Japan that help individuals who visually impaired. The qualification candidate is judged based on temperament and health. Previously, our group showed ‘Distraction’ was the most influential behavioural trait for at Dog Association (JGDA). In this study, to examine underlying sub-traits associated with ‘Distraction’, we conducted tests focusing overall ac...

We motivate and develop a linear logic declarative semantics for CHR∨, an extension of the CHR programming language that integrates concurrent committed choice with backtrack search and a predefined underlying constraint handler. We show that our semantics maps each of these aspects of the language to a distinct aspect of linear logic. We show how we can use this semantics to reason about deriv...

A technic developed by Lutz, Handler, and as sociates (1-4) employed the cheek pouch of the hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) as a site for trans plantation of tissues, including animal and human cancers. Through the courtesy of these workers, we learned their method and employed it in ex periments on the heterologous transplantation of human cancers. Sixty-five human neoplasms were so implanted, ...

This paper sets out a framework for the design of a new genre of educational technology: personal (handheld or wearable) computer systems that support learning from any location throughout a lifetime. We set out a theory of lifelong learning mediated by technology and indicate how it can provide requirements for the software, hardware, communications and interface design of a handheld learning ...

We present the basics of the ESTEREL reactive model of synchronous parallel systems. We illustrate the ESTEREL programming style, based on “instantaneous communications and decisions ’’ through the example of a mouse handler. We briefly describe the ESTEREL formal semantics and show how programs can be compiled into finite states sequential machines for efJicient execution. The up to date imple...

Until recently it had been generally accepted that the formation of diphosphopyridine nucleotide in biological systems starts from nicotinamide, with nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide as intermediates (Singer & Kearney, 1954). Much of the earlier work on whether nicotinic acid or nicotinamide is the more efficient precursor of diphosphopyridine nucleotide has been controvers...

We present a novel approach to exception handling which is based on metaprogramming. Our mechanism does not require language support, imposes no run time overhead to errorfree programs, and is easy to implement. Exception handlers are implemented as ordinary procedures. When an exception occurs, the corresponding handler is searched dynamically using the type of the exception as a search criter...

This paper was adopted by the CJLS on December 12, 1990 by a vote of thirteen infavor, one opposed, andfour abstaining (13-1-4). Members voting in favor: Rabbis Ben Zion Bergman, Stanley Bramnick, Jerome M. Epstein, David M. Feldman, Sam Fraint, Howard Handler, Reuven Kimelman, Herbert Mandl, Lionel E. Moses, Mayer E. Rabinowitz, Avram I. Reisner, Joel Rembaum, Joel Roth. Member voting against:...

This document provides a set of "torture tests" for implementers of the Signaling Compression (SigComp) protocol. The torture tests check each of the SigComp Universal Decompressor Virtual Machine instructions in turn, focusing in particular on the boundary and error cases that are not generally encountered when running well-behaved compression algorithms. Tests are also provided for other SigC...
