Overview: The FM 8501 microprocessor was invented as a generic microprocessor somewhat similar to a PDP-11. The principal idea of the FM 8501 effort was to see if it was possible to express the user-level specification and the design implementation using a formal logic, the Boyer-Moore logic; this approach permitted a complete mechanically checked proof that the FM 8501 implementation fully implemented its specification. The implementation model for the FM 8501 was inadequate for industrial hardware design but the effort was an important step in the evolution to the design verification methodo

Overview: Nowadays, textual databases are among the most rapidly growing collections of data. Some of these collections contain a new type of data that differs from classical numerical or textual data. These are long sequences of symbols, not divided into well-separated small tokens (words). The most prominent among such collections are databases of biological sequences, which are experiencing today an unprecedented growth rate. Starting in 2008, the "1000 Genomes Project" has been launched with the ultimate goal of collecting sequences of additional 1,500 Human genomes, 500 each of European,

Overview: Anfang 1820 war noch nichts über die Wirkung von Magneten auf einen elektrischen Strom bekannt. Um 1826 war die Theorie für konstante Ströme vollständig ausgearbeitet. Seitdem hat sich nichts Grundlegendes geändert, obgleich die mathematische Behandlung auf Grund neuerer Methoden einfacher und kürzer geworden ist. Gegenstand dieses Buches ist es, diesen Zweig der Elektrizitätstheorie bis zu seinem Ursprung zu verfolgen und zu zeigen, wie die Ergebnisse, die in diesen wenigen Anfangsjahren erhalten wurden, zu den verschiedenen Theoremen geführt haben, die seitdem hergeleitet wurden. D
