| 1 |  | Organick, Elliott I. | ADA to silicon transformations: the outline of a method | This report explores the contention that a high-order language specification of a machine (such as an Ada program) can be methodically transformed into a hardware representation of that machine. One series of well-defined steps through which such transformations can take place is presented in this i... | ADA program; High-order language specification | 1982 |
| 2 |  | Subrahmanyam, P.A. | An algebraic formulation of seitz's weak conditions for self timed circuits | Two fairly intuitive conditions are given that serve to algebraically characterize Seitz's "weak conditions" for self timed circuits. It is shown that these two conditions embody the 12 temporal logic conditions (developed b y Owicki and Malachi) which are intended to express both the weak condition... | Seitz's weak conditions; Self-timed circuits | 1982 |
| 3 |  | Sperry, John S. | Anatomy of the palm Rhapis excelsa, VIII. Vessel network and vessel-length distribution in the stem | THE CONCEPT of the vessel, a conducting unit consisting of a series of vessel elements lined up end to end, has been known for well over a century (e.g., Hartig, 1878). The fact that vessels are of limited length is of considerable functional importance. If a vessel is damaged (for example, by an in... | Palm stems; Palm stem anatomy; Vessel network; Vessel-length distribution; Primary vascular stem tissue; Hydraulic architechture; Water column | 1982 |
| 4 |  | O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Ascertainment bias for non-twin relatives in twin proband studies | When families are ascertained through affected twins, as for example when twin probands are selected from a registry and their non-twin relatives studied, a correction for ascertainment bias is needed. It is shown that probandwise counting (where relatives of doubly ascertained twin pairs are counte... | Genetic; transmission; models | 1982 |
| 5 |  | Carter, Tony M. | ASSASSIN : a CAD system for self-timed control-unit design | Many software systems exist for automatically implementing synchronous state machines . Presented is this paper is a software system -- ASSASSIN -- for the design and automatic layout of self-timed (or speed- independent) control units as integrated circuit modules. | ASSASSIN; Self-timed control units | 1982 |

| 7 |  | Baehr, Wolfgang | Characterization of bovine rod outer segment G-protein | A simple modified procedure is described for isolating and purifying peripherally bound membrane proteins from bovine rod outer segment disks. The methods yield milligram quantities of G-protein and cGMP phosphodiesterase which are suitable for reconstitution with membranes containing visual pi... | Heterotrimeric GTP-Binding Proteins; Macromolecular Substances; Rhodopsin | 1982 |

| 11 |  | Lindstrom, Gary E. | Consistency and currency in functional databases | We consider a hybrid model of databases, in which a functional component T is defined as an extension to an imperative component B. T. is loosely coupled to B through a highly parallel function network N. which provides a simple failsafe test of whether an existing assignment of values to a given vi... | Functional databases | 1982 |
| 12 |  | Mattis, Daniel C. | Decay of electron waves in a random medium | This paper reports calculation of the time-correlation function of an electron wave of given wave vector k in a three-dimensional medium with weak scatterers randomly distributed. An initial parabolic decay is followed by the usual exponential law which, asymptotically, gives way to a 1/t3 law. | Scattering; Potential; Coupling | 1982 |
| 13 |  | Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J. | Evidence for solitons in conducting organic charge-transfer crystals | Magnetic susceptibility of (N-methylphenazinium)x(phenazine)(1-x (tetracyanoquinodimethanide) [(NMP)x(Phen)1-x(TCNQ)] shows the formation of defect states for 0.5<x<0.54. Diffuse x-ray scattering and g-value studies indicate that these defects are solitons formed in the highly correlated quasi-one-... | TCNQ; X-ray scattering | 1982 |
| 14 |  | Miller, Jan D. | Fine coal flotation in a centrifugal field with an air sparged hydrocyclone | Preliminary results are reported regarding the design and development of a pilot scale air sparged hydrocyclone for cleaning fine coal 590 \xm ("28 mesh) containing 24% ash and 1.6% sulfur. The principle of separation is the flotation of hydrophobic coal particles in the centrifugal field generated... | rocyclones; coal; separation technology | 1982 |
| 15 |  | Jewell, Paul | The geology and geothermal setting of the Magic Reservoir Area, Blaine and Camas Counties, Idaho | The Magic Reservoir area straddles the Blaine- Camas county line in south-central Idaho, along the northern boundary of the central Snake River Plain. The rocks exposed at Magic Reservoir include a 5.8- million-year-old rhyolite flow, the Pliocene Square Mountain Basalt, multiple cooling units ... | 1982 | |

| 18 |  | Pershing, David W. | Influence of coal composition on the fate of volatile and char nitrogen during combustion | Fifty coals from North America, Europe, Asia, South Africa and Australia were burned in a 21 kW, refractory-lined tunnel furnace to determine the influence of coal properties on the fate of volatile and char nitrogen. Excess air fuel NO emissions (as determined by combustion in Ar/02/C02) ranged fro... | Coal composition; Char nitrogen; Volatile nitrogen; NO emissions | 1982 |

| 20 |  | Mineau, Geraldine Page; Bean, Lee Lawrence | Macrosimulation approach to the investigation of natural fertility | This paper is part of a long-term investigation known as the Mormon Historical Demography Project. It examines the capability of a simulation model, originally proposed by John Bongaarts (1976), to fit the natural fertility pattern which characterized the mid-nineteenth century Mormon population. Ap... | Mormon Historical Demography Project; Macrosimulation; Natural fertility | 1982 |
| 21 |  | Landesman, Margaret M. | Missing issues: a response | I am inclined to retitle this article "Missing Issues: One Technique for Doubling Staff, Postage, and Xeroxing Expenses While Needlessly Alienating Vendors." I cannot, of course, be sure it would double expenses as the author does not supply figures, but we utilize the spare moments of one part-time... | Vendor; Missing issue dealer; Correspondence | 1982 |
| 22 |  | Subrahmanyam, P.A. | Modeling of call - by - need and stream primitives using CCS | The semantics of an applicative language are presented using the algebraic primitives introduced in CCS. In particular, the language constructs modeled allow for nondeterminism, stream processing and demand driven (call by need) evaluation. | Applicative language; Semantics; Algebraic primitives; CCS | 1982 |
| 23 |  | Tuttle, Howard N. | Negation of history | History is inevitably involved in our philosophical reflections about human nature and destiny. Yet in the past, Philosophy; has had an uneasy and questionable relationship to history. In this paper I would like to examine seven paradigmatic cases which hopefully will illustrate some crucial aspects... | 1982 | |
| 24 |  | Sperry, John S. | Observations of reaction fibers in leaves of dicotyledons | HALLE, OLDEMAN, AND TOMLINSON (1978) have discussed the transference of function between compound leaves and plagiotropic branches in the context of tree architecture. In trees conforming to Cook's model (see Halle, Oldeman, & Tomlinson, 1978), plagiotropic branches resemble compound leaves in their... | Reaction fibers; Compound leaves | 1982 |
| 25 |  | Battin, Margaret P. | On the relationship between suicide-prevention and suicide-advocacy groups | Largely in response to contemporary medicine's advancing technological capacities to extend the process of dying to extraordinary lengths, recent years have seen the emergence of numerous advocacy groups concerned with what is often called "death with dignity." For instance, the New York-based group... | Suicide prevention; Suicide advocacy; Death with dignity; Suicidology | 1982 |
