Flexible view update
(Elsevier, 1992-09-01)
As uninstantiated windows onto a relational database, views are modified only when the intended update can be realized by updates against the underlying database. Such a conventional restriction can, and must, be relaxed ...
Elastoplastic torsion by quadratic programming
(Elsevier, 1978-12)
A finite element scheme (together with a conjugate gradient algorithm) is demonstrated to be a very effective method for analyzing general elastoplastic torsion of prismatic bars posed as quadratic programming problems. ...
A computer program for the generalized chi-square analysis of categorical data using weighted least squares (GENCAT)
(Elsevier, 1976-12)
GENCAT is a computer program which implements an extremely general methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data. This approach essentially involves the construction of test statistics for hypotheses involving ...
Applications of staffing, scheduling, and budgeting methodologies to hospital ancillary units
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-02)
A computer-aided methodology for integrating the budgeting, staffing, and labor productivity systems of Ancillary Services using Respiratory Therapy as an example is presented. The data needed, staffing computations and ...
Invariant surface characteristics for 3D object recognition in range images
(Elsevier, 1986-01)
In recent years there has been a tremendous increase in computer vision research using range images (or depth maps) as sensor input data. The most attractive feature of range images is the explicitness of the surface ...
Implementation of an on-line archive for retrieval of laboratory results for outpatients
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1983-06)
An on-line archive of laboratory results designed specifically for ambulatory care areas is described. It is a direct result of paper-flow problems in clinics, which were manifested by numerous phone calls to the laboratory ...
Shape optimal design of elastic bodies using a mixed variational formulation
(Elsevier, 1988-07)
This study is concerned with the development of a variational formulation and a procedure for the computational solution for the shape optimal design of a two-dimensional linear elastic body. The objective is to minimize ...
Preprocessing and postprocessing for materials based on the homogenization method with adaptive finite element methods
(Elsevier, 1990-10)
This paper discusses the homogenization method to determine the effective average elastic constants of linear elasticity of general composite materials by considering their microstructure. After giving a brief theory of ...
On the measurement and use of time-varying communication channels
(Elsevier, 1965-08)
In radio, radar, sonar, and seismic signal detection there is often the problem of processing received signals which have been distorted by a linear operation in the process of being transmitted. Examples are scattering ...
The necessity for adaptation in modified boolean document retrieval systems
(Elsevier, 1988)
A document retrieval system may be described by three formal characteristics: the syntax employed to describe documents (keywords or vectors of weights, for instance), the form of machine-processable queries it accepts as ...
