INTRODUCTION Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) is characterized by specific kinetic and kinematic parameters that can be modulated. The purpose of this study is to investigate fundamental aspects of SMT dose-physiological response relation in humans by varying SMT impulse duration. METHODS Twenty healthy adults were subjected to four different SMT force-time profiles delivered by a servo-cont...

Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) is the problem of deciding the satisfiability of a first-order formula with respect to some decidable first-order theory T (SMT (T )). These problems are typically not handled adequately by standard automated theorem provers. SMT is being recognized as increasingly important due to its applications in many domains in different communities, in particular in f...

An Analysis of Software Interface Issues for SMT Processors by Joshua Abram Redstone Co-Chairpersons of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Henry Levy Professor Susan Eggers Department of Computer Science and Engineering Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) has gradually progressed from a research concept to commercial processor technology. This thesis explores three software interface issues on ...

A colony of mice suffering from dominant hemimelia associated with agenesis of the spleen has been developed and characterized during the past 7 years. The hereditarily asplenic (Dh/+) mice have a very low incidence (9%) of spontaneous mammary tumors (SMT). Asplenic (Dh/+) females were mated with mice homozygous (nu/nu) for hereditary athymia (nude) having a BALB/c background. BALB/c females he...

Solvers for SAT Modulo Theories (SMT) can nowadays handle large industrial (e.g., formal hardware and software verification) problems over theories such as the integers, arrays, or equality. Here we show that SMT approaches can also efficiently solve problems that, at first sight, do not have a typical SMT flavor. In particular, here we deal with SAT and SMT problems where models M are sought s...

In plants, the dominant sterols are 24-alkyl sterols, which play multiple roles in plant growth and development, i.e. as membrane constituents and as precursors to steroid growth regulators such as brassinosteroids. The initial step in the conversion of the phytosterol intermediate cycloartenol to the 24-alkyl sterols is catalyzed by S-adenosyl-L-methionine: delta 24-sterol-C-methyl-transferase...

We introduce multi-goal multi agent path finding (MG-MAPF) which generalizes the standard discrete multi-agent (MAPF) problem. While task in MAPF is to navigate agents an undirected graph from their starting vertices one individual goal vertex per agent, MG-MAPF assigns each multiple and visit of them at least once. Solving not only requires collision free paths for but also determining order v...

This paper proposes to use monolingual collocations to improve Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). We make use of the collocation probabilities, which are estimated from monolingual corpora, in two aspects, namely improving word alignment for various kinds of SMT systems and improving phrase table for phrase-based SMT. The experimental results show that our method improves the performance of...

Abstract cvc5 is the latest SMT solver in cooperating validity checker series and builds on successful code base of CVC4. This paper serves as a comprehensive system description ’s architectural design highlights major features components introduced since CVC4 1.8. We evaluate performance all benchmarks SMT-LIB provide comparison against Z3.

Abstract Satisfiability Modulo the Theory of Nonlinear Real Arithmetic, SMT(NRA) for short, concerns satisfiability polynomial formulas , which are quantifier-free Boolean combinations equations and inequalities with integer coefficients real variables. In this paper, we propose a local search algorithm special subclass SMT(NRA), where all constraints strict inequalities. An important fact is t...
