Method Dispatch for Multi-Method Object-Oriented Languages
No full textTwo new techniques for multi-method dispatch are presented, both sufficiently general to apply to reflexive languages where methods and types can be added and removed at run-time. However, these techniques also apply to non-reflexive languages. One of the techniques operates by performing projections onto single-receiver dispatch tables, and thus benefits from existing research into single-receiver dispatch techniques. It provides method dispatch in O(k), where k is the arity of the method, and it is up to 6 times more space efficient than current table-based techniques. The second new technique does not provide constant-time dispatch, but has very low memory requirements and performs favorably against other techniques at a large percentage of call-sites. It is meant to be used as a replacement for inheritance lookup as the cache-miss algorithm in existing cache-based techniques.

Green's Functions and Boundary Value Problems
No full textThis Third Edition includes basic modern tools of computational mathematics for boundary value problems and also provides the foundational mathematical material necssary to understand and use the tools. Central to the text is a down-to-earth approach that shows readers how to use differential and integral equations when tackling significant problems in the physical sciences, engineering, and applied mathematics, and the book maintains a careful balance between sound mathematics and meaningful applications. A new co-author, Michael J. Holst, has been added to this new edition, and together he

Opinie. Geen vrouw maar ook geen broeder. Het politieke vrijwilligerswerk van Henriette Roland Holst
No full textThe author argues that historians researching
women’s political careers should take the
personal ambitions of their subjects as their
starting point. The author and political activist
Henriette Roland Holst’s ideal was to develop
her literary talent while serving a not always
clearly defined cause. To be accepted by
her male heroes, she needed to deemphasise
her sex; acceptance of male norms was the
best strategy to gain autonomy and personal
freedom. Roland Holst probably never saw
this ‘male’ orientation as problematic. She
did not sympathise with the movement for
women’s suffrage and actively discouraged
feminists because she was of the opinion that
feminism was detrimental to the worker’s
struggle. Marxism and, later on, religious socialism
provided ample opportunities for her
poetry, her writing and her impressive oratory
ability. While men of her class needed to acquire
a position and to earn a living, a woman
could lead a satisfying life volunteering
Japanese doctor-patient discourse : an investigation into cultural and institutional influences on patient-centred communication.
No full textThis thesis investigates how Japanese doctors create and maintain patient-centred
consultations through their verbal interaction with patients, and the extent to which features
of Japanese interpersonal communication influence the institutional discourse. Audio
recordings of 72 doctor-patient interactions were collected at the outpatient department of a
Japanese teaching hospital. All consultations involved new cases. There were two kinds of
consultations: a preliminary history-taking interview with an intern and a diagnostic
consultation given by an experienced doctor. After transcribing the recordings sequences of
the discourse were analysed qualitatively on a turn-by-turn basis and a corpus of the data was
analysed quantitatively to establish frequencies of discourse features related to patientcentredness.
A review of literature (Chapter 2) establishes the standard structure of medical
consultations and the relationship of the doctor and patient during consultations in terms of
the asymmetry of speaking initiative according to consultation phases. The second part of
Chapter 2 is an examination of Japanese communication style, attested to be influenced by
culturally specific norms of behaviour that are demonstrable through verbal interactions.
Chapter 3 describes the research method, and this is followed by four chapters of analysis.
Chapter 4 describes the nature of the two kinds of consultations; the phases they include, and
how the participants shift from one phase to the next with phase transition markers. Particular
attention is paid to opening and closing phases, as they are most relevant to the establishment
and consolidation of a patient-centred relationship. Chapter 5 investigates patterns of
questioning by doctors, identifying functional categories of questions to see how they are
used to coax information from the patient. Chapter 6 examines how the doctor encourages the
patient’s narrative through backchanneling; how the doctor accommodates the patient
through sensitive explanations of treatments and procedures; and how the voice of the patient
emerges through calls for clarification, and voicing concerns. Chapter 7 highlights discourse
sequences that may indicate culturally specific influences, and examines the emergence of
laughter as an indicator of Japanese interpersonal interaction.
The features of these Japanese consultations are consistent with medical consultations
described in English speaking settings regarding phases and the discourse strategies used to
achieve patient-centredness. While there appear to be Japanese cultural influences in the
interactions consistent with previous cross-cultural studies the author argues that the
institutional setting (clinical framework) is more immediately relevant to the conversational
dynamics of the interactions than the Japanese cultural setting. Finally, medical consultations
involving new cases have more features of service encounters and therefore not controlled by
the guidance-cooperation model of doctor-patient interaction

Industrial organization and trade liberalization : evidence from Korea
No full textDrawing on evidence about industrial organization and market structure, the authors develop a computable general equilibrium model in selected industrial sectors with increasing returns to scale. They use this model to estimate the welfare gains Korea would realize from abolishing the import restraints prevailing in 1982. Under constant returns to scale, they estimate welfare gains to be 1 percent of GDP. With increasing returns to scale in three industrial sectors, they estimate welfare gains ranging from -0.5 percent to 10 percent of 1982 GDP, depending on assumptions about the pricing behavior (markup pricing or Cournot competition) and profit levels that existed under protection.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Markets and Market Access,Access to Markets,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT
