Recently several algorithms have been deveh|ped which achieve high e|tMent:y index in enclosing a na~t of the equati|m f (x ) = 0 in an interval [a, b] ,ver whk:h f ( x ) is continu|ms and f (a) f (b) < 0. The highest efficiency index, 1.6686 . . . . was achieved in [4] using the inveme cuhic interl~|latitat. This paper studies the po.~sibility of impr|wing eftlciency index by using high order ...

Extensible operating systems allow applications to modify kernel behavior by providing mechanisms for application code to run in the kernel address space. Exten-sibility enables a system to efficiently support a broader class of applications than is currently supported. This paper discusses the key challenge in making extensible systems practical: determining which parts of the system need to b...

In the second part of the overview reasoning with fuzzily de ned quanti ers and applications are presented Possibility based reasoning This work has been supported by the International Projects of the Flemish Community Cooperation with P R China No is summarized in detail The widely used quanti er extension principle and various reasoning schemas derived from it are discussed Some disad vantage...

An exceptional Burkitt lymphoma patient, a 16-year-old boy, yielded tumor biopsy cells and derived tissue culture lines that displayed a strong surface accumulation of IgM heavy and kappa light chain specificities judged by direct membrane fluorescence and cytotoxicity tests. This property was main tained unchanged in the course of more than 5 months of serial passage in vitro. A fourth biopsy,...

The Pitman closeness ordering of statistical decision rules is considered in the general framework of comparative risk functions. The notions of admis-sibility and of the Bayes rule in this setting (C{admissibility and C{Bayes rule) are introduced. C{admissibility of C{Bayes procedures is demonstrated along with the geometric interpretation of these properties. It is shown that for general comp...

colitis, wasting, and concurrent pneumococcal pneu¬ monia. He declined ICU admission and active treatment was withdrawn prior to death. One patient had a history of CMV infection and did well on pentamidine and prednisone without CMV coverage. Another patient received active treatment for CMV retinitis with ganciclovir and did well on PCP treatment, without corticosteroid therapy. He did not re...

This paper presents PAVES, a direct manipulation system that combines aspects of visualization and mul-timedia systems to form an interactive video programming environment. PAVES extends the VuSystem media processing toolkit with dataaow-style views for controlling compute-intensive media applications as they run. Thus video may be manipulated graphically and interactively | both program and da...

“In the employment setting, discrimina­ tion among individuals has long been legal­ ly, ethically, and socially acceptable” (1). Employers may select prospective employees on the basis of their past experience or their education but are prohibited from selecting employees on the basis of specific categories such as age, color, and ethnic origin (1). Now there are numerous reasons for employ­ er...
