We describe a technique for verifying the control logic of pipelined microprocessors. It handles more complicated designs, and requires less human intervention, than existing methods. The technique automaticMly compares a pipelined implementation to an architectural description. The CPU time

and mental health both directly and as stress buffers, the theoretical mechanisms through which they do so still require elaboration and testing. New work suggests that coping flexibility and structural constraints on individuals' coping efforts may be important to pursue. Promising new directions

of dynamic range we are accustomed to seeing in typical floating point representations, as opposed to the integer images from which it was generated. The method is completely automatic; it requires no human intervention, and it requires no knowledge of the response function of the imaging device. It works

The need for control of population growth is quite pressing for India, as it hampers the country’s growth prospects and leads to sustenance of poverty and unemployment, etc. Hence, India was the fi rst nation to have offi cially launched the family planning programme. However, the health care system created for delivery of various health and family welfare services has not been effective enough to curtail the enormous population growth as well as to better the general health standards of the common masses.The article analyses in detail the various factors responsible for it. It brings out the lacuna in the health system as well as the unmet needs and defi ciencies at different levels. The article not only throws light on the qualitative inadequacies in the health manpower but also suggests certain measures to enhance their effectiveness.

into constraint-maintaining production rules. Some parts of the translation are automatic while other parts require user intervention. Based on the semantics of our set-oriented production rules language and under certain assumptions, we prove that at the end of each transaction the rules are guaranteed

Splines and deformable surface models are widely used in computer graphics to describe free-form surfaces. These methods require manual preprocessing to discretize the surface into patches and to specify their connectivity. We present a new model of elastic surfaces based on interacting particle

Sequencing of large clones or small genomes is generally done by the shotgun approach Although complete automation of data processing in shotgun sequencing is clearly desirable and may be feasible in the near future, at present finishing still requires extensive human intervention

parameters controlling the resolution in the spatial and range domains. Since convergence is guaranteed, the technique does not require the intervention of the user to stop the filtering at the desired image quality. Several examples, for gray and color images, show the versatilityofthe method and compare

capabilities is set out, based on the interplay of incentives, capabilities and institutions. Each may suffer market failure and so require corrective intervention. The experience of some industrializing countries is described to assess the validity of this framework. It is concluded that interventions

The purpose of this article is to describe statistical procedures to assess how prevention and intervention programs achieve their effects. The analyses require the measurement of intervening or mediating variables hypothesized to represent the causal mechanism by which the prevention program
