Behind its apparent simplicity, this algorithm is highly demanding in terms of computation time. In the last decades, several approaches [4, 5] have been proposed with one common goal: to reduce the computation time. These methods generally seek to reduce the number of distances that have to be computed using, for instance, a pre-arrangement of the data. The direct consequence is a speed-up of the searching process. However, in spite of this improvement, the computation time required by the kNN search still remains the bottleneck of methods based on kNN. General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) is the technique of using a Graphics processing unit (GPU) to perform the computations usually handled by the CPU. The key idea is to use the parallel computing power of the GPU to achieve significant speed-ups. Numerous recent publications use the GPU programming to speed-up their methods [6, 7]. In a previous work [8], we...

...be raised to fund these investments. b. If in the previous case, net income would be INR 300,000, estimate the total amount of debt to be raised. c. If the investments of INR 1,000,000 is to be met by 50% debt and equity each, what will be the DPS if the net income realized would be INR 650,000. d. If the firm has to maintain a debt-equity ratio of 50% always for its funding requirements and has to pay a DPS of 0.30 when the net income realized is INR 650,000, what will be the maximum investment the firm can make. Q3. DEF Ltd. is presently an unlevered firm whose cost of equity is 12%. It is contemplating to recapitalize itself so that the resulting debt-equity ratio in market value terms would become 30:70 at the end of third year from now and remain as it is forever. It is estimated that the firm will be taking debt for the three years, whose interest is payable at the end of the year at a rate of 8% p.a., as follows: Time (t=) | 0 | 1 | 2 | Debt taken at the start of the year (INR Mn) | 120 | 180 | 240 | It is also estimated that the free cash flow to the firm (FCFF) would be growing at a rate of 5% p.a. after year 3. The distribution of FCFF for year end 1-3 is as follows: Time (t=) | 1 | 2 | 3 | FCFF (INR Mn) | -80 | 20 | 65 | If the risk-free rate is 4.70%, market risk premium is 6%, applicable tax-rate is 40% and the value of all non-operating assets at t=0 is INR 120 MN, estimate the following: a.

...Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.[1] It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Gamessince 1964. A scene of Volleyball play in Ervadi village. The complete rules are extensive. But simply, play proceeds as follows: a player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receiving team's court. The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to 3 times but individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively. Typically, the first two touches are used to set up for an attack, an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in such a way that the serving team is unable to prevent it from being grounded in their court. The rally continues, with each team allowed as many as three consecutive touches, until either (1): a team makes a kill, grounding the ball on the opponent's court and winning the rally; or (2): a team commits a fault and loses the rally. The team that wins the rally is awarded a point, and serves the ball to start the next rally. A few of the most common faults include: * causing the ball to touch the ground outside the opponents' court or without first passing over the net; ...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0 Introduction An identity document is any document which may be used to verify aspects of a person’s personality. If issued in the form of a small, mostly standard-sized card, it is usually called an identity card (IC). Countries which do not have formal identity documents may require informal documents. In the absence of formal identity document, driving licenses can be used in many countries as a method of proof of identity, although some countries do not accept driving licenses for identification, often because in those countries they do not expire as documents and can be old easily forged. Most countries accepts passports as a form of identification. Most countries have the rule that foreign citizens need to have their passport or occasionally a national identity card from their country, available at anytime if they do not have residence permit in the country. A student identification card can only be issued to genuine bonafide students. Card holders can use the card to identify themselves as a student around the campus or outside the campus. The identity card is managed and administered by the (Student Identity Card Association (SICA) of the school. 1.1 Theoretical Background Today, it is believed that the application of computer technology in any activity would go a long way in making that activity much easier. To the research, this statement remains a theory until proven otherwise by the implementation of a computerized...

This report is the product of an educational program, and is intended to serve as partial documentation for the evaluation of academic achievement. The reader should not construe the report as a working document. Abstract The WPI OfCourse! course management system provides educators with a set of tools to extend their existent course websites. While this toolset offers great functionality, the installation and configuration of the system is complex and difficult. The project team created a two-tiered installation package that is both simplified and easy to use. User testing was conducted and indicated a significant improvement in the installation procedure. In conclusion, the OfCourse! system was improved by the newly created installer. -i- Executive Summary As the web evolves and grows, educational professionals continue to pursue the use of online tools. While a variety of software exists, educators of average computer literacy seek a feature-rich application that is easy to install and use. Educators demand a well-designed user interface and a comprehensive set of features. The OfCourse! course management system is a set of online educational tools that can be integrated into existent websites. While the toolset provided is packed with great modules such as calendars, discussion boards...
