"Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) comprises tools and algorithms that allow querying multidimensional databases. It is based on the multidimensional model, where data can be seen as a cube, where each cell contains on...

One of the major breakthroughs in VLSI technology has been its ability to implement signal processing algorithms and architectures onto cost-effective ASIC and DSP chips. Works in this area are highly interdisciplinary;...

The growing processing power of standard workstations, along with the relatively easy way in which they can be available for parallel processing, have both contributed to their increasing use in computation intensive app...

This article outlines a social information processing approach to explain job attitudes. In comparison with need-satisfaction and expectancy models to job attitudes and motivation, the social information processing persp...

The book intends to address the important aspects of high-performance signal processing with a focus on the recent development of VLSI technology for signal processing. The editors collect much of all the research effor...

Fast response, storage efficiency, fault tolerance and graceful degradation in face of scarce or spurious inputs make neural networks appropiate tools for Intelligent Computer Systems. But on the other hand, learning alg...

Learning algorithms for neural networks involve CPU intensive processing and consequently great effort has been done to develop parallel implemetations intended for a reduction of learning time. This work briefly descri...

The discipline of Software Engineering has a history dating back to 1968. However, it is only during the last ten years that real efforts have been made to address it as a profession with appropriate educational support...

Features such as fast response, storage efficiency, fault tolerance and graceful degradation in face of scarce or spurious inputs make neural networks appropriate tools for Intelligent Computer Systems. A neural network ...

In December, 2019, a local outbreak of pneumonia of initially unknown cause was detected in Wuhan (Hubei, China), and was quickly determined to be caused by a novel coronavirus,1WHOWHO statement regarding cluster of pneu...

We report a major update of the MAFFT multiple sequence alignment program. This version has several new features, including options for adding unaligned sequences into an existing alignment, adjustment of direction in nu...

The present article presents an integrative theoretical framework to explain and to predict psychological changes achieved by different modes of treatment. This theory states that psychological procedures, whatever their...

This review describes a new paradigm of electronics based on the spin degree of freedom of the electron. Either adding the spin degree of freedom to conventional charge-based electronic devices or using the spin alone ha...

This is the second half of a two part series devoted to the tabu search metastrategy for optimization problems. Part I introduced the fundamental ideas of tabu search as an approach for guiding other heuristics to overco...

Data parallelislm is one of the more successful efforts to introduce explicit parallelism to high level programming languages. This approach is taken because many useful computations can be framed in term of a set of ind...

We introduce a stable, well tested Python implementation of the affine-invariant ensemble sampler for Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) proposed by Goodman & Weare (2010). The code is open source and has already been used ...

Accelerating the discovery of advanced materials is essential for human welfare and sustainable, clean energy. In this paper, we introduce the Materials Project (www.materialsproject.org), a core program of the Materials...

The field of neuroscience has, after a long period of looking the other way, again embraced emotion as an important research area. Much of the progress has come from studies of fear, and especially fear conditioning. Thi...

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is currently being prepared as the newest video coding standard of the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group and the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group. The main goal of the HEVC standard...

Species richness is a fundamental measurement of community and regional diversity, and it underlies many ecological models and conservation strategies. In spite of its importance, ecologists have not always appreciated t...

Identifying and building a sustainable energy system are perhaps two of the most critical issues that today's society must address. Replacing our current energy carrier mix with a sustainable fuel is one of the key piece...
