Many countries strive to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in the hope that knowledge brought by multinationals will spill over to domestic industries and increase their productivity. In contrast with earlier literature that failed to find positive intra-industry spillovers from FDI

, selectionofevaluation measures, and data preparation. We relate these issues to properties of the oil spill application, such asitsimbalanced class distribution, that are shown to be common to many applications. Our solutions to these issues are implemented in the Canadian Environmental Hazards Detection System (CEHDS

Many optimizing compilers perform global register allocation using a Chaitin-style graph coloring algorithm. Live ranges that cannot be allocated to registers are spilled to memory. The amount of code required to spill the live range depends on the spilling heuristic used. Chaitin's spilling

There are many military sites in Alaska that are contaminated with hazardous substances. Over 700 sites have been identified that may need cleanup. At active installations, the Department of Defense (DoD) branch using it (such as the Army, Navy or Air Force) usually leads the investigation

locations, and can cope with sophisticated forms of spilling and live range splitting, as well as many forms of architectural irregularities such as overlapping registers. The soundness of the algorithm was mechanically proved using the Coq proof assistant. 1

Oil spill response is defined as encompassing all activities involved in containing and cleaning up the oil in ways that achieve the following over-arching goals: 1. Maintaining safety of human life; 2. Stabilizing the situation to preclude it from worsening, and 3. Minimizing adverse environmental

have largely resulted from ad hoc efforts within agencies with different degrees of expertise related to performance measurement, public or stakeholder participation, and decision support. Consequently, the requirements of the Act remain a source of concern to many federal agency managers. This paper

Since 19th century when the first oil tankers started to operate there have been many major oil tanker accidents which have caused public outcry and political pressure to develop maritime safety legislation. The Torrey Canyon (1967) accident was the first major oil accident that had an impact

Code space is a critical issue facing designers of software for embedded systems. Many traditional compiler optimizations are designed to reduce the execution time of compiled code, but not necessarily the size of the compiled code. Further, di#erent results can be achieved by running some
