The Cache Performance and Optimizations of Blocked Algorithms
- In Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems
, 1991
"... Blocking is a well-known optimization technique for improving the effectiveness of memory hierarchies. Instead of operating on entire rows or columns of an array, blocked algorithms operate on submatrices or blocks, so that data loaded into the faster levels of the memory hierarchy are reused. This ..."

The performance of mutual funds in the period 1945-1964
- JOURNAL OF FINANCE
, 1968
"... In this paper I derive a risk-adjusted measure of portfolio performance (now known as "Jensen's Alpha") that estimates how much a manager's forecasting ability contributes to the fund's returns. The measure is based on the theory of the pricing of capital assets by Sharpe (1 ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,
, 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

in the management literature, in fact little is known about the reasons why "enriched" work sometimes leads to positive outcomes for workers and for their employing organizations. Even less is known about the relative effectiveness of various strategies for carrying out the redesign of work One reason
MicroRNA genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase II
- EMBO J
, 2004
"... MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a large family of noncod-ing RNAs that function as guide molecules in diverse gene silencing pathways. Current efforts are focused on the regulatory function of miRNAs, while little is known about how these unusual genes themselves are regulated. Here we present the fir ..."

the first direct evidence that miRNA genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase II (pol II). The primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs) contain cap structures as well as poly(A) tails, which are the unique properties of class II gene transcripts. The treatment of human cells with a-amanitin decreased the level
CATH -- a hierarchic classification of protein domain structures
- STRUCTURE
, 1997
"... Background: Protein evolution gives rise to families of structurally related proteins, within which sequence identities can be extremely low. As a result, structure-based classifications can be effective at identifying unanticipated relationships in known structures and in optimal cases function can ..."

. We find that nearly a third of the homologous superfamilies (H-levels) belong to ten major T-levels, which we call superfolds, and furthermore that nearly two-thirds of these H-levels cluster into nine simple architectures. A database of well-characterised protein structure families, such as CATH
The Foundation of a Generic Theorem Prover
- Journal of Automated Reasoning
, 1989
"... Isabelle [28, 30] is an interactive theorem prover that supports a variety of logics. It represents rules as propositions (not as functions) and builds proofs by combining rules. These operations constitute a meta-logic (or `logical framework') in which the object-logics are formalized. Isabell ..."

. Isabelle is now based on higher-order logic --- a precise and well-understood foundation. Examples illustrate use of this meta-logic to formalize logics and proofs. Axioms for first-order logic are shown sound and complete. Backwards proof is formalized by meta-reasoning about object-level entailment
The Determinants of Credit Spread Changes.
- Journal of Finance
, 2001
"... ABSTRACT Using dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are ..."

, and Southern Methodist University. The relation between stock and bond returns has been widely studied at the aggregate level (see, for example, Campbell and Ammer (1993), Keim and Stambaugh (1986), Fama and French (1989), and Fama and French (1993)). Recently, a few studies have investigated that relation
Determinants of long-term growth: a Bayesian Averaging of Classical Estimates (BACE) approach
, 2003
"... This paper examines the robustness and joint interaction of explanatory variables in cross-country economic growth regressions. It employs a novel approach, Bayesian Averaging of Classical Estimates (BACE), which constructs estimates as a weighted average of OLS estimates for every possible combina ..."

combination of included variables. The weights applied to individual regressions are justified on Bayesian grounds in a way similar to the well-known Schwarz model selection criterion. Of 67 explanatory variables we find 18 to be robustly partially correlated with long-term growth and another three variables
Shape Priors for Level Set Representations
- In ECCV
, 2002
"... Level Set Representations, the pioneering framework introduced by Osher and Sethian [14] is the most common choice for the implementation of variational frameworks in Computer Vision since it is implicit, intrinsic, parameter and topology free. However, many Computer vision applications refer to ..."

Furthermore, it can be combined with existing well known level set-based segmentation approaches leading to paradigms that can deal with noisy, occluded and missing or physically corrupted data.

Robust Positioning Algorithms for Distributed Ad-Hoc Wireless Sensor Networks
, 2002

Details regarding the implementation of such an algorithm are also discussed. Experimentation is performed on networks containing 400 nodes randomly placed within a square are ..."
