Information-seeking behavior of catalog users
(Elsevier, 1970-12)
This study is based on the data from a survey of catalog use at three university libraries and one public library. Both "known-item" searches and "subject" searches were analyzed. The characteristics of the user population ...
Likelihood functions for stochastic signals in white noise
(Elsevier, 1970-06)
For a general stochastic signal in white noise absolute continuity is proved and the RadonNikodym derivative is given. These results were stated in a previous paper (Duncan 1968). Independent of the absolute continuity ...
Proof of a conjecture by A.W. Burks and H.Wang: Some relations between net cycles and states cycles
(Elsevier, 1972-10)
In a foundational paper on the theory of automata A. W. Burks and H. Wang (1957) conjectured that a certain complexity measure involving the size of the strong components of a logical net formed a hierarchy for net behavior. ...
Application of an analytical model to evaluate storage structures
(Elsevier, 1977)
The File Design Analyzer is a software package which evaluates well-known data base storage structures and access methods in terms of secondary storage processing time and storage overhead required to service a set of user ...
Numerical solution of nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations by a generalized conjugate gradient method
(Springer-Verlag, 1978-12)
We have studied previously a generalized conjugate gradient method for solving sparse positive-definite systems of linear equations arising from the discretization of elliptic partial-differential boundary-value problems. ...
Canonical realization of general time systems
(Elsevier, 1977)
The canonical realization of general time systems by dynamical systems is discussed employing the notation and definitions of Takahara and Mesarovic. Previous results are extended to the case of causal, but not necessarily ...
Register assignment in tree-structured programs
(Elsevier, 1979-06)
Much complex decision-making is performed routinely by the software of a computer system. It is appropriate to study more thoroughly the performance of this built-in decision-making, because it can strongly influence the ...
A computer program for testing average partial association in three-way contingency tables (PARCAT)
(Elsevier, 1979-05)
PARCAT is a computer program which implements alternative tests for average partial association in three-way contingency tables within the framework of the product multiple hypergeometric probability model. Primary attention ...
Levels of technicality in scientific communication
(Elsevier, 1976)
The large number of specialized languages which have resulted from the rapid development of modern science and technology, although meant to facilitate communication within each area of specialization, may create barriers ...
