In this paper we present the first comprehensive debugger for the algorithmic subset of the Modelica language, which augments previous work in our group on declarative static and dynamic debugging of equations in Modelica. This replaces debugging of algorithmic code using primitive means such as print statements or asserts which is complex, time-consuming and errorprone. The debugger is portabl...

Much work has been done in the area of parallel simulation of connectionist systems. However, usually parallel implementation issues for artiicial neural networks have been discussed in general terms, but the actual parallel programs implement speciic network models and are written in programming languages like C or C++. This paper deals with the transparent parallelization of neural networks. ...

Some modern Christian notions of ‘self-sacrifice’ and ‘cruciformity’ abstract an ethic self-negation from its larger theological teleological frame. A distinctively Western trajectory has shaped ‘exclusive altruism’ where the interests self other stand in a competitive relationship. Although Paul's letter to Philippians often been cited as prime example such ethic, closer scrutiny reveals narra...

This conceptual article examines the ukama ethic concerning Covid-19 pandemic-induced ‘new normal’ in African higher education. In so doing, we endeavor to appropriate which is a communally oriented value system militate against socially isolated individualism Remote Learning and an Ethic of Care that combats social prejudices occasioned by pandemic Our central argument Ukama contextually norma...

Language workbenches usually produce infrastructure to represent models as abstract syntax trees (AST) and employ processing infrastructure largely based on visitors. The visitor pattern suffers from the expression problem regarding extensibility and reuse. Current approaches either forsake static type safety, require features unavailable in popular object-oriented languages (e.g., open classes...

This study examined the effects of input-oriented and output-oriented tasks with different involvement load indices on Iranian EFL learners' comprehension and production of lexical collocations. To achieve this purpose, a sample of 180 intermediate-level EFL learners (both male and female) participated in the study. The participants were in six experimental groups. Each of the groups was random...
