Recent commercial microprocessors are concentrating on the multi-core CPU architectures, while most parallel and/or distributed computing methods focus on the multi-CPU architectures. Therefore, there are needs to analyze and adapt traditional parallel algorithms for the new multi-core environments. In this paper, we use matrix multiplications as the target problem, and implemented it using var...

The real estate development trade is a pillar industry of our national economy. The real estate companies must focus on core competence in order to succeed in the fierce competition. This paper presents a probabilistic model for core competence estimation of real estate firms. According to the nonlinear feature of real estate core competence, this paper establishes the fuzzy and neural network ...

Definitions of interdisciplinarity often focus on the integration of disciplinary concepts or perspectives. Few definitions, however, are grounded in the work of faculty who conduct interdisciplinary scholarship. To better understand the practice of interdisciplinarity in research and teaching, and its implications for academics' professional lives, I interviewed college and university faculty ...

In this paper, we analyze a graph-theoretic property motivated by web crawling. We introduce a notion of stable cores, which is the set of web pages that are usually contained in the crawling buffer when the buffer size is smaller than the total number of web pages. We analyze the size of core in a random graph model based on the bounded Pareto power law distribution. We prove that a core of si...
