Care should be taken in the writing of papers in mathematical statistics for two reasons. First this enhances a paper's chances to be accepted for publication in a top journal. Second the contributions of a paper will reach a wider audience if the main ideas are easily accessible. This paper gives suggestions for improvement in two directions: presentation of mathematics and organization of pap...

This paper presents a new approach to matching and segmenting multiple rigid motions using epipolar constraint. Epipolar geometry underlying the motion images are rst recovered, and the epipolar equations are used to reduce search for correspondence from 2-dimensional to 1-dimensional, thus resolving the \aper-ture problem". Segmentation of image into dierent motions is simultaneous. Experiment...

Coupling specific atomic fluorescence spectrometers to vapour generation techniques is a highly sensitive approach to the determination of trace levels of mercury. In many sample types the levels of the mercury content are extremely high and the matrix may have a deleterious e2ffect on the measurement. This paper discusses the application of discrete sample injection techniques to broaden the r...

Security tools guide so‰ware developers to identify potential vulnerabilities in their codes. However, the use of security tools is not common among developers. Œe goal of this research is to develop a framework for modeling the adoption of security practices in so‰ware development, and explore various sanctioning mechanisms in promoting greater adoption of these practices among developers. We ...

Plan-do compilation technique is a new, advanced compilation framework for eager data transfer on distributed-memory parallel architectures. The technique is especially eective for a recent breed of low-latency architectures by realizing a high-throughput low-latency communication scheme, pipelined sends. The compilation of high-level, plan-do style code into low-level, eager data transfer code...

The universal asymptotic scaling laws proposed by Amari et al. are studied in large scale simulations using a CM5. Small stochastic multi-layer feed-forward networks trained with back-propagation are investigated. In the range of a large number of training patterns t, the asymptotic generalization error scales as 1=t as predicted. For a medium range t a faster 1=t 2 scaling is observed. This ee...

One of the problems in spoken language translation is the enormous variety o f expressions not found in text translation. This volume can lead to a sparse translation coverage. In order to tackle this problem, we take the practical approach of untangling slight variations in the source language before transferring a source expression to its target. We therefore discuss how eective paraphrasing ...

Introduction / objectives The importance of hand disinfection has been known since Semmelweis, however, fundamental problems remain existent with hand hygiene. Our team of young engineers created a universal method to teach and verify proper hand disinfection. We target both the health care system and the general public, to educate and control through visualizing, demonstrating and measuring. M...

Multiple program specialization can stage a computation into several computation phases. This paper presents an eective solution for multiple program specialization by generalizing conventional o-line partial evaluation and integrating the \cogen approach" with a multi-level binding-time analysis. This novel \multi-cogen approach" solves two fundamental problems of self-applicable partial evalu...
