Recursive loops in a logic program present a challenging problem to the PLP (Probabilistic Logic Programming) framework. On the one hand, they loop forever so that the PLP backward-chaining inferences would never stop. On the other hand, they may generate cyclic influences, which are disallowed

In this paper, we consider the problem of determining a cyclic (or loop) scheduler that allocates slots to flows as periodically as possible. We use the second moment of the inter-allocation distance for each flow as its periodicity metric. We establish the optimality of a Weighted-Round Robin

Abstract—In this paper, we propose a routing technique, “recursive Loop-Free Alternates (rLFAs)”, to alleviate packet loss due to transient link failures. The technique consists of a backup path calculation with corresponding re-routing scheme based on the Loop-Free Condition (LFC) as defined

Abstract. Recursive loops in a logic program present a challenging problem to the PLP framework. On the one hand, they loop forever so that the PLP backward-chaining inferences would never stop. On the other hand, they generate cyclic influences, which are disallowed in Bayesian networks. Therefore

Recently, by using the known structure of one-loop scattering amplitudes for gluons in Yang-Mills theory, a recursion relation for tree-level scattering amplitudes has been deduced. Here, we give a short and direct proof of this recursion relation based on properties of tree-level amplitudes only.

Shame has become the issue "de jour " of psychotherapy-the alleged cause of almost all psychological difficulties. Too much of the Gestalt therapy shame literature appears to have abandoned our integrative worldview-self regulation, field theory, phenomenology, and dialogue. Eclipsed with superimposed "expert " theory and practice, the client's phenomenological experience is frequently overruled in favor of interpre-tation, for example, of "hidden shame. " Many clinical applications are themselves accused of being a source of further shaming. Clinical work u u that goes beyond the therapist's nonshaming acceptance and/or the expression of unfinished business is discussed. In the waters of shame, these are the views of a Gestalt salmon. If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail (Abraham Maslow, Pearls of Wisdom). D URING THE PAST 15 YEARS OR SO, there has been an ever-increasing rush of activity and interest in shame, first in the popular psychology literature (e.g., Bradshaw), and then in the psychoanalytic professional literature (e.g., Lewis, 1992; Kaufman, 1989; Nathanson, 1987) and in the Gestalt therapy professional literature (e.g.,

to compute. We propose a recursive loop scheduler for a class-based scheduling scenario based on an optimal Weighted Round Robin scheduler. We show that it achieves very good allocation smoothness with almost no degradation in intra-class fairness. In addition, we also demonstrate the equivalence between our

In this paper we present techniques to detect three common patterns of parallelism in C programs that use recursive data structures. These patterns include, function calls that access disjoint sub-pieces of tree-like data structures, pointer-chasing loops that traverse list-like data structures

We demonstrate approaches to the static parallelization of loops and recursions on the example of the polynomial product. Phrased as a loop nest, the polynomial product can be parallelized automatically by applying a space-time mapping technique based on linear algebra and linear programming. One

Song production in song birds is controlled by an efferent pathway. Appended to this pathway is a “recursive loop” that is necessary for song acquisition but not for the pro-duction of learned song. Since zebra finches learn their song by imitating external models, we speculated that the impor
