Estimating the Numbers of End Users and End User Programmers

by Christopher Scaffidi - In IEEE Symp. on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing , 2005
"... In 1995, Boehm predicted that by 2005, there would be “55 million performers ” of “end user programming ” in the United States. The original context and method which generated this number had two weaknesses, both of which we address. First, it relies on undocumented, judgment based factors to estima ..."

computer usage rates; we address this weakness by integrating fresh Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data and projections as well as a richer estimation method. With these improvements to Boehm’s method, we estimate that in 2012 there will be 90 million end users in American workplaces. Of these, we

Improving heating uniformity of fresh fruit in radio frequency treatments for pest control

by S. L. Birla A, S. Wang A, J. Tang A, G. Hallman B , 2003
"... Non-uniform heating of fresh fruit caused by variations in radio frequency (RF) fields is a major obstacle in developing postharvest insect control treatments based on RF energy. A fruit mover was developed to evaluate possibilities to improve RF heating uniformity of large fruit, such as oranges an ..."

Update Propagation Strategies to Improve Data Freshness in Lazy Master Schemes

by Informatik V, E. Pacitti, E. Simon, R. Melo, Esther Pacitti Y, Eric Simon, Rubens Melo - 14e Journ'ees Bases de Donn'ees Avanc'ees (BDA), Hammamet , 1998
"... Many distributed database applications need to replicate data to improve data availability and query response time. The two-phase-commit protocol guarantees mutual consistency of replicated data but does not provide good performance. Lazy replication has been used as an alternative solution in sever ..."

Recency is good: expanding with fresh news improves event detection in Twitter

by Saša Petrović, Miles Osborne, Victor Lavrenko
"... Twitter is a popular microblogging site that is a good source of real-time information. Detecting events in Twitter is an ongoing research effort and a fundamental task is clustering tweets according to which (news) event they describe. Document expansion can improve this clustering, especially for ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
. BODY Expanding tweets with fresh and with stale newswire improves event detection by 21 % and 17 % respectively, compared to not using expansion. REFERENCES [1] F. Diaz and D. Metzler. Improving the estimation of relevance models using large external corpora. In Proceedings of the 29th annual

A Fresh Look to Inlining Decision

by Manuel Serrano - In 4th International Computer Symposium (ICS'95 , 1995
"... Included in a compiler for functional or object oriented languages, inline function expansion has been reported as one of the most valuable optimizations. Unfortunately, it has an important counterpart: since it duplicates function body, it enlarges the code of the compiled programs as well as the r ..."

as the resulting object code. The main contribution of this paper is to present a simple compile time inlining decision algorithm where the code length increasing factor is a constant that can be tuned by the compiler designer and where execution improvements are comparable with other previous sophisticated

NUMERICAL SIMULATION AND STRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT ON CYCLONE PURIFIER FOR FRESH AIR TREATING

by Shuhui Xu1 , Minglian Zhou2 , Fenghua Duan1 , 2007
"... ABSTRACT Cyclone purifier has been conventionally used for separating particles from exhaustion. This paper, however, tried to develop a cyclone purifier for fresh air treatment in ventilation. Simulations were carried out based on continuity equation, momentum equation, RNG k-epsilon turbulent flo ..."

The Governance of Quality: The Case of Fresh Meat

by Marta Fernández Barcala, Manuel González-díaz, Emmanuel Raynaud, Manuel González Díaz , 2009
"... We argue that the mechanism used for governing the supply chain is an essential factor in promoting quality. An integrated organization facilitates conformance quality but decreases efficiency in terms of incentives. A hybrid organization attenuates this incentive problem but may hinder conformance ..."

Easy Freshness with Pequod Cache Joins

by Bryan Kate, Eddie Kohler, Michael S. Kester, Neha Narula, Ong Mao, Robert Morris
"... Pequod is a distributed application-level key-value cache that supports declaratively defined, incrementally maintained, dynamic, partially-materialized views. These views, which we call cache joins, can simplify application development by shifting the burden of view maintenance onto the cache. Cach ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
. Cache joins define relationships among key ranges; using cache joins, Pequod calculates views on demand, incrementally updates them as required, and in many cases improves performance by reducing client communication. To build Pequod, we had to design a view abstraction for volatile, relationless key

Time is of the essence: improving recency ranking using twitter data

by Anlei Dong, Ruiqiang Zhang, Pranam Kolari, Jing Bai, Fernando Diaz, Yi Chang, Zhaohui Zheng, Hongyuan Zha - In WWW , 2010
"... Realtime web search refers to the retrieval of very fresh content which is in high demand. An effective portal web search engine must support a variety of search needs, including realtime web search. However, supporting realtime web search introduces two challenges not encountered in non-realtime we ..."
