The adaptive hybrid protocol is designed for ad hoc networks which have characteristics like self-organizing, no trusted party, flexibility, etc. The nodes that run the hybrid protocol can automatically select one routing protocol that is suitable for different network environment. The Bayesian-estimation based adaptive strategy, that improves the adaptability and stability of the protocol, succeeds in the Rapidnet, a declarative network engine. The result in the Rapidnet proves that the hybrid protocol and the adaptive strategy are feasible. The experiment on the ns-3 simulator, an emerging discrete-event network simulator, validates that this protocol performs well and reduces communication overheads.展开更多

Methods:Participants saw a series of pictures with either blue or red background,and were then given a pretest for item and source memories. Then males and females respectively were randomly assigned either to a wake or a sleep condition. In the wake condition,participants remained awake until the posttest;in the sleep condition,participants slept for 1 h until awakened and asked to remain awake until the posttest. Results:Daytime sleep contributed to retention of source memory rather than item memory in females,whereas males undergoing daytime sleep had a trend towards increased familiarity. For females,however,neither recollection nor familiarity appeared to be influenced by daytime sleep. Conclusion:The mechanism underlying gender difference may be linked with different memory traces resulting from different encoding strategies,as well as with different electrophysiological changes during daytime sleep.展开更多

However, the performance of a parallel declarative program can be impaired by a mismatch between the parallelism available in an application and the parallelism available in the architecture. A particularly attractive solution is to automatically match the parallelism of the program to the parallelism of the target hardware as a compilation step. In this paper) we present an optimizillg compilation technique called granularity analysis which identi fies and removes excess parallelism that would degrade performance. The main steps are: an analysis of the flow of data to form an attributed call graph between function (or predicate) arguments; and an asymptotic estimation of granularity of a function (or predicate) to generate approximate grain size. Compiled procedure calls can be annotated with grain size and a task scheduler can make scheduling decisions with the classilication scheme of grains to control parallelism at runtime. The resulting granularity analysis scheme is suitable for exploiting adaptive parallelism of declarative programming languages on multiprocessors.展开更多

Component-based debugging is a new structural analysis approach that addresses this problem by analyzing the structure of each component in a model to separately locate faulty components. The analysis procedure is performed recursively based on the depth-first rule. It first generates fictitious equations for a component to establish a debugging environment, and then detects structural defects by using graph theoretical approaches to analyzing the structure of the system of equations resulting from the component. The proposed method can automatically locate components that cause the structural inconsistencies, and show the user detailed error messages. This information can be a great help in finding and localizing structural inconsistencies, and in some cases pinpoints them immediately.展开更多

He returned to his highly intellectual work and performed well despite his doctor’s prediction. While the patient showed consistently poor results on various neuropsychological memory tests, he demonstrated incredible performance at work. This case exemplifies an extreme case that declarative memory is formed with the support of semantic memory, procedural memory, and his strong interests. Additionally, it offers lessons that results on memory tests do not necessarily correspond to the actual level of competence. The focal sites were found on both sides of the medial temporal lobe, predominantly on the left side. The T2-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) obtained 9 years after the onset confirmed widespread damage to the left brain including parahippocampal gyrus, hippocampus, spindle gyrus, and amygdaloid complex, with microlesions extending from the right parahippocampal gyrus to its antero-interior rim. However, the damage to hippocampus was presumed to be minor.展开更多
