Numerical weather prediction (NWP) now provides major guidance in our daily weather forecast. The accuracy of NWP models has improved steadily since the first successful experiment made by Charney, Fj!rtoft and von Neuman (1950). During the past 50 years, a large number of technical papers

to incorporate kernels with a compact set of constraints and decompose the dual problem into multiple optimization problems of reduced size. We describe an efficient fixed-point algorithm for solving the reduced optimization problems and prove its convergence. We then discuss technical details that yield

references; 5) temporal locality of reference; and 6) idle periods of individual users. This paper reviews the essential elements required in the generation of a representative Web workload. It also addresses the technical challenges to satisfying this large set of simultaneous constraints on the properties

The GLIMMER system for microbial gene identification finds ~97--98% of all genes in a genome when compared with published annotation. This paper reports on two new results: (i) significant technical improvements to GLIMMER that improve its accuracy still further, and (ii) a comprehensive evaluation

(LIS) must improve their accuracy rate and need to adopt client-centred services in order to operate in a new information marketplace and to meet competition from other sources Information technology facilitates a redistribution of resources from technical services to front of house ’ operations

provides a concise (162 pages of text) and basic overview of two disciplines of assessing structure: exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). As Thompson explains, the book was written ‘‘to strike a happy medium between accuracy and completeness versus over

those that resemble Personal, Business, and Technical Correspondences. Word accuracy was assessed after initial system training, five minutes of error-correction time, and ten minutes of error-correction time. Results indicated that word recognition accuracy achieved does affect user satisfaction

This article consists primarily of a graphic map of the Data Access Object (DAO), showing its properties, methods, and child objects. The map highlights changes between DAO version 2.5 and DAO version 3.0. The Data Access Object The Data Access Object (DAO) uses the Microsoft ® Jet database engine to communicate with database servers via the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver manager and a specified server driver (as shown in Figure 1). The DAO bypasses ODBC when the database is the Jet engine or another ISAM data source. This approach insulates the developer from many database-programming complexities while providing high-level data access objects, properties, and methods. Figure 1. The relationship between the Data Access Object and other data components The DAO is available in Visual C and many Visual Basic for Applications–based products. These include Microsoft

and technical concerns, inherent limits of k-space speed have almost been reached. An entirely different approach to sub-wavelength resolution in MRI is based on the fact that with a receiver placed near the object the contribution of a signal source to the induced voltage varies appreciably with its relative
