Organick, Elliott I. | Characteristics of a functional programming language | A programming language kernel is presented where an algorithm is a function defined through a functional expression. The only data structure introduced is an object that may be an atom or a sequence of objects. A number of functional forms are defined, with a notation close to ordinary mathematical ... | | 1980 |

Subrahmanyam, P.A. | On proving the correctness of data type implementations | In order to prove the correctness (or consistency) of an implementation of a data type with respect to the data type's specifications, the minimal amount of information that needs to be provided consists of: (i) a specification of the type being implemented; (ii) a specification of the representati... | Data type; Consistency | 1980 |

Subrahmanyam, P.A. | A new approach to specifying and handling exceptions | An operation generally exhibits different patterns of behavior over different parts of its domain. Depending upon the context, such behavior may either be conceived of as "normal" or as an "exception." Thus, the behavior of an operation Is quite naturally characterized by the set of partial operatio... | Computer operations; Exceptions; Exception handling | 1980 |

Stringfellow, Gerald B. | Photoluminescence of Shallow Acceptors in Epitaxial AlGaAs | The low-temperature (2 K) photoluminescence (PL) of AlxGa1-xAs (0<x<0.25 was studied in an effort to characterize shallow acceptors in material grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy and liquid phase epitaxy techniques.

Stringfellow, Gerald B. | Electron mobility in compensated GaAs and AlGaAs | The dependence of electron mobility on temperature in GaAs and Al Ga As indicates that for cimpensated material a term having causes a significant reduction in the mobility measured at high temperatures. The magnitude of the term in mobility, denoted is found to be linearly proportional to the compe... | Unspecified mobility; Reduced mobility; Space charge regions | 1980 |

Pershing, David W. | Control of NOx emissions | NITROGEN OXIDES (NOX) are produced in combustion from molecular nitrogen (thermal NOx) or from oxidation of nitrogen contained in the fuel (fuel NOx). Production of NOx in a turbulent diffusion flame is largely dependent upon fuel composition and fuel/air contacting, which for liquid fuels is determ... | Staged heat release; Tunnel furnace; Boiler simulator; Staged combustion | 1980 |

Boll, Steven F. | Noise suppression methods for robust speech processing (1 Oct. 1979- 31 Mar. 1980) | Robust speech processing in practical operating environments requires effective environmental and processor noise suppression. This report describes the technical findings and accomplishments during this reporting period for the research program funded to develop real time, compressed speech analysi... | Noise suppression; Compressed speech analysis-synthesis algorithms; Signal contamination | 1980 |

Keller, Robert M. | Semantics and applications of function graphs | Function graphs provide graphical models of programs based on function application. The uses of such models include provision of a semantic framework for functional programs, explication of the structure of complex systems based on function application, increasing proximity of programs to certain ap... | Function graphs; Computer semantics | 1980 |

Barsky, Brian A. | A description of several tools for the synchronization of concurrent processes | Concurrent processes are tasks which may be executed simultaneously. When several such processes have access to shared variables, it is necessary to establish some regimen to control this access. Several language tools for expressing various synchronization disciplines are presented. | Concurrent processes | 1980 |

Davis, Alan L. | A characterization of parallel systems | a taxonomy for parallel processing systems is presented which has some advantages over previous taxonomies. The taxonomy characterizes parallel processing systems using four parameters: topology, communication, granularity, and operation. These parameters and used repetitively in a hierarchical fash... | Parallel systems | 1980 |

Horch, Kenneth W. | On the number and nature of regenerating myelinated axons after lesions of cutaneous nerves in the cat | 1. Electrophysiological and anatomical techniques were used to investigate normal and regenerating sural and posterior femoral cutaneous nerve fibres in the cat. 2. One and a half years after transection of these nerves it was found that the regenerating neurones supported multiple sprouts in the... | Nerve fibres; Transection; Nerve injury | 1981 |

Pershing, David W. | Mechanisms of NOx formation and control: alternative and petroleum-derived liquid fuels | Petroleum-, coal- and shale-derived liquid fuels were burned in a downfired tunnel furnace to assess the impact of fuel properties on the formation and control of NOx emissions. A nitrogen-free oxidant mixture (Ar, C02 , 02) was used to isolate fuel NOx formation. Under excess air conditions fuel N... | Exhaust emissions; Alternative fuels; Petroleum-derived liquid fuels | 1981 |
