Rate-Independent Constructs for Chemical Computation
This paper presents a collection of computational modules implemented with chemical reactions: an inverter, an incrementer, a decrementer, a copier, a comparator, a multiplier, an exponentiator, a raise-to-a-power operation, and a logarithm in base two. Unlike previous schemes for chemical computation, this method produces designs that are dependent only on coarse rate categories for the reacti...
متن کاملLanguage Constructs for Non-Well-Founded Computation
Recursive functions defined on a coalgebraic datatype C may not converge if there are cycles in the input, that is, if the input object is not well-founded. Even so, there is often a useful solution. Unfortunately, current functional programming languages provide no support for specifying alternative solution methods. In this paper we give numerous examples in which it would be useful to do so:...
متن کاملNew program constructs and semantics for reversible computation
We review our previously reported programming constructs for reversible computing which are based on the classical relational model. We note that, although mathematically elegant, the description of programming constructs is too abstract to capture the important concept of preference. Toto capture the important concept of preference. To remedy this we formalise the temporal order of continuatio...
متن کاملChemical programming to exploit chemical reaction systems for computation
All known life forms process information on molecular level. Biochemical information processing found in nature is known to be robust, self-organizing, adaptive, decentralized, asynchronous, fault-tolerant, and evolvable. In order to further exploit these properties new programming techniques are required. This thesis is on programming approaches to exploit the computational capabilities of che...
متن کاملIndependent assessment of source transit time for the BEBIG SagiNova® high dose rate brachytherapy afterloader
Introduction: The dwell time and transit time components contribute to the overall delivered dose to patients in high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatments. The transit time results from source entry and exit as well as source movements between dwell positions. It depends on various parameters such as the source speed profile, source indexer distance to dwell position, and ...
