Comparative Spaces And Seeing Seduction And Horror In Bataille, Benton Jay Komins
Comparative Spaces And Seeing Seduction And Horror In Bataille, Benton Jay Komins
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article, "Comparative Spaces and Seeing Seduction and Horror in Bataille," Benton Jay Komins explores Bataille's preoccupation with "seeing": The eye holds a preeminently ambiguous position in Georges Bataille's universe of enucleated priests and scatological window scenes. Komins' comparative examination presents several aspects of Bataille's eyes: Existing between fascination and revulsion, this most Bataillean organ moves between subjective vision and objective blindness. The eye both captures and is captured in episodes of seductive horror. Through the denigration of vision, Bataille's dethroned eye exceeds the confines of visuality. Bataille develops an extraordinary notion of ocularity -- as a metaphor, action, …

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports
This paper describes and evaluates a tool to measure, compute and display performitnce data of any machine in a wide-area, heterogeneous, distributed computing system. The monitoring tool is easily deployable, easily extensible, and silpports various degrees of centralization without significant redesign effort. The tool leverages widely used network protocols (SNMP) for communication, thus being a,pplicable to many distributed systems. The paper discusses the design and development of a monitoring system1 (SIMONE) and -the performance studies conducted to evaluate the tool. SIMONE; consists of a ma.nager which requests, receives, and processes data from individual machines or hosts and presents the results …
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation For Requests With Classes And Priorities In Preemptive Distributed Networks, Amit D. Naik, Howard Jay Siegel, Edwin K. P. Chong
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation For Requests With Classes And Priorities In Preemptive Distributed Networks, Amit D. Naik, Howard Jay Siegel, Edwin K. P. Chong
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports
In today's general-purpose networked computing environments, both commercial and military, in addition to providing connectivity, providing quality of service (QoS) to users is a major concern. One of the major QoS parameters in this context is bandwidth. This research focuses mainly on the intelligent allocation of bandwidth to requests in oversubscribed networks such that, some measure of worth associated with the satisfied requests is optimized. In this work, heterogeneous networks with preemptive capabilities have been considered. A preemptive network is capable of interrupting a request that is currently in progress to service a request that is considered to be more …
A Study Of Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation With Preemption And Degradation For Prioritized Requests, Pranav Dharwadkar, Howard Jay Siegel, Edwin K. P. Chong
A Study Of Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation With Preemption And Degradation For Prioritized Requests, Pranav Dharwadkar, Howard Jay Siegel, Edwin K. P. Chong
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports
Bandwidth allocation is a fundamental problem in communication networks where bandwidth needs to be reserved for requests (connections) to guarantee a certain quality of service (QoS) for the request. Guaranteeing QoS to the request means that the user can explicitly speclfy certain requirements for a request such as bandwidth. The problem of bandwidth allocation is further intensified when the requested bandwidth exceeds the available unused bandwidth and so not all requests can be completely served. This research examines on-line bandwidth allocation, where the decision for acceptance or rejection of the request has to be made when future requests and their …
On Literariness: From Post-Structuralism To Systems Theory, Marko Juvan
On Literariness: From Post-Structuralism To Systems Theory, Marko Juvan
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article, "On Literariness: From Post-Structuralism to Systems Theory," Marko Juvan argues that the question of literariness concerns the very identity and social existence of not only literature per se but of literary theory as a discipline. A literary theorist is not only an observer of literature; he/she is also a participant who -- at least indirectly, via the a priori systems of science and education -- is engaged in constructing both the notion and the practice of literature as well as the study of literature. Literariness is neither an invariant cluster of "objectively" distinctive properties of all texts …
Call Center Benchmarking: How Good Is, Jon Anton, David Gustin
Call Center Benchmarking: How Good Is, Jon Anton, David Gustin
Purdue University Press Books
Executives are beginning to recognize the potential of the call center as a significant revenue generator, perhaps one of the surest investments they can make in enhancing and creating customer value and bottom-line profits. Return on investments made in customer accessibility is seldom less than 100% in the first year, and frequently even more if customer lifetime value is included in the equation. Herein lies the challenge and the primary reason to benchmark your call center metrics against not only the best-in-the-world, but also your most direct competitors, i.e., best-in-class.
Bakhtin, Genre Formation, And The Cognitive Turn: Chronotopes As Memory Schemata, Bart Keunen
Bakhtin, Genre Formation, And The Cognitive Turn: Chronotopes As Memory Schemata, Bart Keunen
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article, "Bakhtin, Genre Formation, and the Cognitive Turn: Chronotopes as Memory Schemata," Bart Keunen proposes a new reading of Bakhtin's notion of the chronotope. Bakhtin is widely taken to be a pioneer of genological thinking, but one of his key concepts -- the chronotope -- is still subject to highly divergent interpretations. Moreover, the epistemological implications of his genology have not yet been fully realized. In this article, a methodological grounding in schema theory is proposed. Bakhtin's concept can be used to study the way in which literary communication functions through what the psychologist Frederic Bartlett first called …
How Is A Genre Created? Five Combinatory Hypotheses, Johan F. Hoorn
How Is A Genre Created? Five Combinatory Hypotheses, Johan F. Hoorn
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article, "How is a Genre Created? Five Combinatory Hypotheses," Johan F. Hoorn discusses that in genre theory, the creation of a genre is usually envisioned as a complex selection procedure in which several factors play an equivocal role. First, he advances that genre usually is investigated at the level of the phenomenon. For instance, questions may drawn on the effects of social status, education, or "intrinsic values" on forming a genre, on an author's decision with regard to in which genre to express his/her creativity. Second, Hoorn attempts to formulate a general mechanism that explains the forming of …
Comparative Cultural Studies And Ethnic Minority Writing Today: The Hybridities Of Marlene Nourbese Philip And Emine Sevgi Özdamar, Sabine Milz
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article, "Comparative Cultural Studies and Ethnic Minority Writing Today: The Hybridities of Marlene Nourbese Philip and Emine Sevgi Özdamar," Sabine Milz examines and compares strategies with which the Caribbean-Canadian woman writer Marlene Nourbese Philip and the Turkish-German woman writer Emine Sevgi Özdamar "de-colonise" ethnocentric Canadian and German discourse respectively and thus create their own spaces of hybridity. She argues that both Philip's and Özdamar's writings -- by going beyond cultural-national categories and boundaries -- display vital stimuli for multi-cultural and inter-national dialogue in a manner that facilitates cultural co-existence in spaces of hybridity. Responding to this stimulus, Milz's …
The Culture Of Using Animals In Literature And The Case Of José Emilio Pacheco, Randy Malamud
The Culture Of Using Animals In Literature And The Case Of José Emilio Pacheco, Randy Malamud
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article, "The Culture of Using Animals in Literature and the Case of José Emilio Pacheco," Randy Malamud argues that the animal poetry of Mexican writer José Emilio Pacheco, compiled in his 1985 collection Album de zoología (trans. 1993 by Margaret Sayers Peden as An Ark for the Next Millennium) embodies a vast literary account of a range of animals. This book represents one of the most extensive treatments of animals by any modern poet, and one of the most sensitive and ambitious attempts to craft a discourse that facilitates an approach to animals on their own terms -- …

Construction And Testing Of A Marital/Couple Therapy Satisfaction Measure, Jesse Bingham
Construction And Testing Of A Marital/Couple Therapy Satisfaction Measure, Jesse Bingham
Open Access Theses
Therapy is inundated with self-report instruments/measures for clients (Corcoran & Fischer, 1987)(Touliatos, Perlmutter, & Straus, 1989); most of them focused for individual therapy. Many of these instruments are used for assessment purposes, while some others are related to outcome (Fredman & Sherman, 1987) (Corcoran & Fischer, 1987). One neglected area is that of instruments devised to measure satisfaction with specific content areas oftherapy. Another neglected area is an instrument designed specifically for marital/couple therapy. This research devised and tested a client self-report satisfaction measure specifically for couples in therapy. The items of the Marital Therapy Satisfaction Measure (MTSM) were derived …
Hardware Support For Data Dependence Speculation In Distributed Shared-Memory Multiprocessors Via Cache-Block Reconciliation, Renato J. 0. Figueiredo, Jose A.. B. Fortes
Hardware Support For Data Dependence Speculation In Distributed Shared-Memory Multiprocessors Via Cache-Block Reconciliation, Renato J. 0. Figueiredo, Jose A.. B. Fortes
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports
Data dependence speculation allows a compiler to relax the constraint of data-independence to issue tasks in parallel, increasing the potential for automatic extraction of parallelism from sequential programs. This paper proposes hardware mechanisms to support a data-dependence speculative distributed shared-memory (DDSM) architecture that enable speculative parallelization of programs with irregular data structures and inherent coarse-grain parallelism. Efficient support for coarse-grain tasks requires large buffers for speculative data; DDSM leverages cache and directory structures to provide large buffers that are managed transparently from applications. The proposed cache and directory extensions provide support for distributed speculative versions of cache blocks, run-time detection …
The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board’S First Decade, Bert Chapman
The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board’S First Decade, Bert Chapman
Libraries Research Publications
Concern over the safety of the United States’ defense nuclear reactors in the late 1980s led to congressional creation of an independent oversight board. The Defense Nuclear Facility Safeties Board (DNFSB) is responsible for overseeing safety issues at the U.S. Department of Energy’s nuclear facilities and issuing recommendations on operations and safety at these facilities, which include South Carolina’s Savannah River Site, Texas’ Pantex facility, Colorado’s Rocky Flats Depot, and others. This article provides an historical overview of the DNFSB’s first decade and discusses its relationship and interaction with the Department of Energy and congressional oversight committees as well as …

ABSTRACT Il'lixed-machine heterogeneous computing (HC) environments utilize a distributed suite of different high-performance machines, interconnected with high-speed links to perform different computationally intensive applications that have diverse comput ational requirements. HC environments are well suited to meet thl: computational dell-tands of large, diverse groups of tasks. The problem of mapping (defined as matching and scheduling) these tasks onto the machines of a distributed HC environment has been shown, in general, to be NP-complete, requiring the development of heuristic techniques. Selecting the best heuristic to use in a given enviroi~menth, owever, remains a difficult problem, because comparisons are often clouded by …
Detection Of Rare Events And Rule Extracition By Neural Networks And Decision Trees, Wooyoung Choe, Okan K. Ersoy
Detection Of Rare Events And Rule Extracition By Neural Networks And Decision Trees, Wooyoung Choe, Okan K. Ersoy
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports
Sample stratification is a technique for making each class in a sample have equal influence on decision making. For classification with neural netwobrks, it is often preferable to use a stratified sample including an equal number of examples from each class;. However, it is not always possible to have a stratified sarrlple because of unavailability of examples (referred to as rare event cases). For rare event detection, we develop two sample stratification schemes in this research. The first scheme stratifies a sample by adding up the weighted sum of the derivatives during the backward pass of training. The second scheme …
Cultural Politics, Rhetoric, And The Essay: A Comparison Of Emerson And Rodó, Sophia Mcclennen
Cultural Politics, Rhetoric, And The Essay: A Comparison Of Emerson And Rodó, Sophia Mcclennen
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article, "Cultural Politics, Rhetoric, and the Essay: A Comparison of Emerson and Rodó," Sophia McClennen compares two essays which have been central to debates over "American" cultural identity. Her work is a detailed comparison of the persuasive language used in "The American Scholar" by Ralph Waldo Emerson and "Ariel" by José Enrique Rodó. She focuses on the specific ways that the rhetoric of the persuasive essay binds Emerson and Rodó to a literary tradition and consequently impedes each author's ability to construct a liberated culture. She also demonstrates how the comparative method is a useful tool for analyzing …
