Scannerless generalized parsing techniques allow parsers to be derived directly from unified, declarative specifications. Unfortunately, in order to uniquely parse (disambiguate) existing programming languages, extensions beyond the usual contextfree formalism must be added to handle a number of specific cases. This paper describes sbp, a scannerless parser for boolean grammars, a superset of c...

Blood pressure (BP) measurement in clinical practice was made possible by the pioneering work of a number of clinical scientists and physiologists at the close of the nineteenth century. The work of von Basch, Potain, Hill, Barnard and perhaps most notably Marey, paved the way for the Italian clinician, Scipione Riva-Rocci to introduce the limb-occluding technique for palpatory measurement of S...

Systolic blood pressure (SBP) changes control the cardiac inter-beat intervals (IBI) duration via baroreflex. Conversely, SBP is influenced by IBI via non-baroreflex mechanisms. Both causal pathways (feedback – baroreflex and feedforward – non-baroreflex) form a closed loop of the SBP – IBI interaction. The aim of this study was to assess the age-related changes in the IBI – SBP interaction. We...

I will present some new results concerning explicit high-order finite difference methods applied to hyperbolic systems. In particular I will present some new results that support the addition of appropriate artificial dissipation, even for linear problems. Recently, high-order accurate first derivative finite difference operators are were derived that naturally introduce artificial dissipation....
