• At stage 0, M0 = M , U0 = U and κ0 = κ. • At stage α+1, if it is well-founded, we build Ult(Mα, Uα) and let Mα+1 be its transitive collapse, where the ultrapower is computed from the point of view of Mα. Let jα,α+1 : Mα → Mα+1 be the ultrapower embedding. Then set κα+1 = j(κα) and Uα+1 = j(Uα). • At limit stages λ, if it is well-founded, we define Mλ as the direct limit of the directed system...

IPSJ (Information Processing Society of Japan), which was launched in 1960, formed the Computer History Committee in 1970 in order to record the early history of Japanese computers. The Committee has continued its activities, publishing history related books, maintaining the Virtual Computer Museum web pages, editing articles about old computers and technologies, etc. Recently, it started anoth...

Plants are not only important producers of foods and energy storages (e.g., sugars, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) in the form of grains, fruits, and vegetables, they also provide many valuable products to human existence including wood, fibers, oils, resins, pigments, antioxidants, and sources of medicine. Most importantly in light of this book, plants have been a source of therapeutic and...

This is a book which is written chiefly from the point of view of a European physician. Regarded as such, it is a useful work of moderate size, coming between the smaller books which profess to be merely introductions for the use of student?, and the larger text-books, such as that of Stelwagon. The descriptions of the pathology and symptomatology are sufficiently full for general practice. The...

in America. The reasons for its popularity are evident, it is modern but not too modern, it is comprehensive without being encyclopaedic, and it caters for the general practitioner rather than for the specialist. Many of the newer text-books are written by a number of experts each of whom presents a subject from his own point of view and in consequence the broader aspects are lost sight of. Dr....

Abstract As much as tech giants like Microsoft and Meta promote the metaverse a new haven for social connection enterprise, popular academic presses credit development of persistent virtual worlds that underlie emerging space to digital gamemakers. This paper argues gaming’s centrality metaverse, upon which its hardware, controls, distribution platforms, economic models, even socio-cultural att...

this paper presents the design procedure and implementation results of a proposed hardware which performs different satellite image compressions using fpga xilinx board. first, the method is described and then vhdl code is written and synthesized by ise software of xilinx company. the results show that it is easy and useful to design, develop and implement the hardware image compressor using ne...

This paper considers the problem of register communication in the Multiscalar architecture, a novel paradigm for exploiting instruction level parallelism. The Multiscalar architecture employs a combination of hardware and software mechanisms to partition a sequential program into tasks, and uses control and data speculation to execute such tasks in parallel. Inter-task register dependencies rep...
