Extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs), such as the plasmid-mediated class A TEMand SHV-type enzymes, have developed by stepwise mutations in their structural genes, resulting in either single or multiple amino acid changes in the encoded enzymes, and these changes sufficiently remodel the active site to allow attack on aminothiazolyl compounds. Since they were first identified at the beginning ...

Principal Component Analysis (PCA; Pearson, 1901) is a widely used method for data compression. The goal is to find the best low rank approximation of a given matrix, as judged by minimization of the `2 norm of the difference between the original matrix and the low rank approximation. However, the classical method is not resistant to corruption of individual input data points. Recently, a robus...

ABET has recently proposed to expand its list of program criteria to include criteria for systems and similarly named engineering programs. Industrial engineers have often claimed the ownership of the phrase “systems engineering,” even incorporating it into the names of some departments, e.g., industrial and systems engineering. While defining terms can be a sterile exercise, in this paper we c...

Abstract This paper reviews the literature on algorithms for solving bound-constrained mixed-integer derivative-free optimization problems and presents a systematic comparison of available implementations these large collection test problems. Thirteen solvers are compared using set 267 The testbed includes: (i) pure-integer problems, (ii) small, medium, covering wide range characteristics found...

The authors examined the patterns of expert and less skilled golfers in putting on an indoor surface to 1 of 3 circular targets (1, 3, and 5 m away) in trials with a ball present (and putted) or not present (a practice stroke). As expected, the experts performed better than the less skilled golfers on a large number of outcome and kinematic measures. Displacement and velocity profiles of the he...

1.1. Method 1: Copy transpose DGEMM. Strided accesses pose a critical bottleneck in the naive implementation of matrix multiply. Both A and B are stored in the same order (column-major), but the multiply operation requires that entries of either A or B be loaded with stride M . (Without loss of generality, assume the A matrix.) Large strides result in ineffective use of cache lines, since (for ...
