Link-Sharing and Resource Management Models for Packet Networks

by Sally Floyd, Van Jacobson , 1995
"... This paper discusses the use of link-sharing mechanisms in packet networks and presents algorithms for hierarchical link-sharing. Hierarchical link-sharing allows multiple agencies, protocol families, or traflic types to share the bandwidth on a tink in a controlled fashion. Link-sharing and real-t ..."

A review of image denoising algorithms, with a new one

by A. Buades, B. Coll, J. M. Morel - SIMUL , 2005
"... The search for efficient image denoising methods is still a valid challenge at the crossing of functional analysis and statistics. In spite of the sophistication of the recently proposed methods, most algorithms have not yet attained a desirable level of applicability. All show an outstanding perf ..."

performance when the image model corresponds to the algorithm assumptions but fail in general and create artifacts or remove image fine structures. The main focus of this paper is, first, to define a general mathematical and experimental methodology to compare and classify classical image denoising algorithms

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 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 ..."

Contribution of Primary Care to Health Systems and Health 499

by Barbara Starfield, Leiyu Shi, James Macinko, B. Starfield, L. Shi, J. Macinko
"... Evidence of the health-promoting influence of primary care has been accumu-lating ever since researchers have been able to distinguish primary care from other aspects of the health services delivery system. This evidence shows that primary care helps prevent illness and death, regardless of whether ..."

Fixing the Java memory model

by Jeremy Manson, William Pugh, Sarita V. Adve, Jeremy Manson - In ACM Java Grande Conference , 1999
"... This paper describes the new Java memory model, which has been revised as part of Java 5.0. The model specifies the legal behaviors for a multithreaded program; it defines the semantics of multithreaded Java programs and partially determines legal implementations of Java virtual machines and compile ..."

Evaluating Interval Forecasts

by Peter F. Christoffersen, Anil Bera, Jeremy Berkowitz, Tim Bollerslev, Frank Diebold, Lorenzo Giorgianni, Jin Hahn, Jose Lopez, Roberto Mariano - International Economic Review , 1997
"... This paper is intended to address the deficiency by clearly defining what is meant by a "good" interval forecast, and describing how to test if a given interval forecast deserves the label "good". One of the motivations of Engle's (1982) classic paper was to form dynamic int ..."

by Diebold and Mariano (1995). This paper can also be seen as establishing a formal framework for the ideas suggested in Granger, White and Kamstra (1989). Recently, financial market participants have shown increasing interest in interval forecasts as measures of uncertainty. Thus, we apply our methods

Administrative procedures as instruments of political control

by Mathevv D. Mccubbins, Roger G. Noll, Barry R. Weingast - Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization , 1987
"... A central problem of representative democracy is how to ensure that policy decisions are responsive to the interests or preferences of citizens. The U.S. Constitution deals with the electoral side of this problem by con-structing institutional safeguards and incentive structures designed to make ele ..."

Trade, Quality Upgrading and Wage Inequality in the Mexican Manufacturing Sector: Theory and Evidence . . .

by Eric Verhoogen - JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS , 2008
"... This paper proposes a new model of the link between expanding trade and rising wage inequality in developing countries, and investigates its causal implications in a newly constructed panel of Mexican manufacturing establishments. In a theoretical setting with heterogeneous firms and quality differe ..."

Monitoring Corruption: Evidence from a Field Experiment in Indonesia

by Benjamin A. Olken - Journal of Political Economy , 2007
"... This paper uses a randomized field experiment to examine several approaches to reducing corruption. I measure missing expenditures in over 600 village road projects in Indonesia by having engineers independently estimate the prices and quantities of all inputs used in each road, and then comparing t ..."
