We present a new approach to unbounded, fully symbolic model checking of timed automata that is based on an efficient translation of quantified separation logic to quantified Boolean logic. Our technique preserves the interpretation of clocks over the reals and can check any property expressed in the timed μ calculus. The core operations of eliminating quantifiers over real variables and decidi...

Recent evidence suggests that prolactin may be positively associated with postmenopausal breast cancer risk; however, little data are available in younger women. Therefore, we conducted a prospective, nested case-control study to examine the relationship between plasma prolactin concentrations and breast cancer risk in predominately premenopausal women from the Nurses' Health Study II. Blood sa...

This paper describes jcc, an integration of the timed default concurrent constraint programming framework [16] (Timed Default cc) into JAVA [7]. jcc is intended for use in education and research, for the programming of embedded reactive systems, for parallel/distributed simulation and modelling (particularly for space, robotics and systems biology applications), and to support the development o...

Abstract A growing body of literature suggests that the world's languages can be classified into three rhythm classes: mora-timed languages, stress-timed and syllable-timed languages. However, scholars cannot agree on which rhythmic measures discriminate classes most satisfactorily whether speech rate factor should considered. In this study, we analyze production by bilingual speakers, compare ...
