  • The Miracle Resource Eco-Link
    Since 1989 Eco-Link Linking Social, Economic, and Ecological Issues The Miracle Resource Volume 14, Number 1 In the children’s book “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein the main character is shown to beneÞ t in several ways from the generosity of one tree. The tree is a source of recreation, commodities, and solace. In this parable of giving, one is impressed by the wealth that a simple tree has to offer people: shade, food, lumber, comfort. And if we look beyond the wealth of a single tree to the benefits that we derive from entire forests one cannot help but be impressed by the bounty unmatched by any other natural resource in the world. That’s why trees are called the miracle resource. The forest is a factory where trees manufacture wood using energy from the sun, water and nutrients from the soil, and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In healthy growing forests, trees produce pure oxygen for us to breathe. Forests also provide clean air and water, wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities to renew our spirits. Forests, trees, and wood have always been essential to civilization. In ancient Mesopotamia (now Iraq), the value of wood was equal to that of precious gems, stones, and metals. In Mycenaean Greece, wood was used to feed the great bronze furnaces that forged Greek culture. Rome’s monetary system was based on silver which required huge quantities of wood to convert ore into metal. For thousands of years, wood has been used for weapons and ships of war. Nations rose and fell based on their use and misuse of the forest resource.

Created in 1990 by Tim Berners- Lee, the web quickly became the most used hypertext system in the world, and most browsers default to indicating hyperlinks with an underline. To answer the question of why the underline was chosen over competing demarcation techniques, the thesis applies the methods of history of technology and sociology of technology. Before the invention of the web, the underline–also known as the vinculum–was used in many contexts in writing systems; collecting entities together to form a whole and ascribing additional meaning to the content.

  • Tilde-Arrow-Out (~→O)
    Chapter 5: Derivations in Sentential Logic 181 atomic). In the next example, the disjunction is complex (its disjuncts are not atomic). Example 2 (1) (P ´ Q) → (P & Q) Pr (2) •: (P & Q) ∨ (~P & ~Q) ID (3) |~[(P & Q) ∨ (~P & ~Q)] As (4) |•: ¸ DD (5) ||~(P & Q) 3,~∨O (6) ||~(~P & ~Q) 3,~∨O (7) ||~(P ∨ Q) 1,5,→O (8) ||~P 7,~∨O (9) ||~Q 7,~∨O (10) ||~P & ~Q 8,9,&I (11) ||¸ 6,10,¸I The basic strategy is exactly like the previous problem. The only difference is that the formulas are more complex. 13. FURTHER RULES In the previous section, we added the rule ~∨O to our list of inference rules. Although it is not strictly required, it does make a number of derivations much easier. In the present section, for the sake of symmetry, we add corresponding rules for the remaining two-place connectives; specifically, we add ~&O, ~→O, and ~↔O. That way, we have a rule for handling any negated molecular formula. Also, we add one more rule that is sometimes useful, the Rule of Repetition. The additional negation rules are given as follows. Tilde-Ampersand-Out (~&O) ~(d & e) ––––––––– d → ~e Tilde-Arrow-Out (~→O) ~(d → f) –––––––––– d & ~f 182 Hardegree, Symbolic Logic Tilde-Double-Arrow-Out (~±O) ~(d ± e) –––––––––– ~d ± e The reader is urged to verify that these are all valid argument forms of sentential logic. There are other valid forms that could serve equally well as the rules in question. The choice is to a certain arbitrary. The advantage of the particular choice becomes more apparent in a later chapter on predicate logic.

  • End-Of-Line Hyphenation of Chemical Names (IUPAC Provisional
    Pure Appl. Chem. 2020; aop IUPAC Recommendations Albert J. Dijkstra*, Karl-Heinz Hellwich, Richard M. Hartshorn, Jan Reedijk and Erik Szabó End-of-line hyphenation of chemical names (IUPAC Provisional Recommendations) https://doi.org/10.1515/pac-2019-1005 Received October 16, 2019; accepted January 21, 2020 Abstract: Chemical names and in particular systematic chemical names can be so long that, when a manu- script is printed, they have to be hyphenated/divided at the end of a line. Many systematic names already contain hyphens, but sometimes not in a suitable division position. In some cases, using these hyphens as end-of-line divisions can lead to illogical divisions in print, as can also happen when hyphens are added arbi- trarily without considering the ‘chemical’ context. The present document provides recommendations and guidelines for authors of chemical manuscripts, their publishers and editors, on where to divide chemical names at the end of a line and instructions on how to avoid these names being divided at illogical places as often suggested by desk dictionaries. Instead, readability and chemical sense should prevail when authors insert optional hyphens. Accordingly, the software used to convert electronic manuscripts to print can now be programmed to avoid illogical end-of-line hyphenation and thereby save the author much time and annoy- ance when proofreading. The recommendations also allow readers of the printed article to determine which end-of-line hyphens are an integral part of the name and should not be deleted when ‘undividing’ the name. These recommendations may also prove useful in languages other than English.

  • Assessment of Options for Handling Full Unicode Character Encodings in MARC21 a Study for the Library of Congress
    1 Assessment of Options for Handling Full Unicode Character Encodings in MARC21 A Study for the Library of Congress Part 1: New Scripts Jack Cain Senior Consultant Trylus Computing, Toronto 1 Purpose This assessment intends to study the issues and make recommendations on the possible expansion of the character set repertoire for bibliographic records in MARC21 format. 1.1 “Encoding Scheme” vs. “Repertoire” An encoding scheme contains codes by which characters are represented in computer memory. These codes are organized according to a certain methodology called an encoding scheme. The list of all characters so encoded is referred to as the “repertoire” of characters in the given encoding schemes. For example, ASCII is one encoding scheme, perhaps the one best known to the average non-technical person in North America. “A”, “B”, & “C” are three characters in the repertoire of this encoding scheme. These three characters are assigned encodings 41, 42 & 43 in ASCII (expressed here in hexadecimal). 1.2 MARC8 "MARC8" is the term commonly used to refer both to the encoding scheme and its repertoire as used in MARC records up to 1998. The ‘8’ refers to the fact that, unlike Unicode which is a multi-byte per character code set, the MARC8 encoding scheme is principally made up of multiple one byte tables in which each character is encoded using a single 8 bit byte. (It also includes the EACC set which actually uses fixed length 3 bytes per character.) (For details on MARC8 and its specifications see: http://www.loc.gov/marc/.) MARC8 was introduced around 1968 and was initially limited to essentially Latin script only.

  • BOONDOX Math Alphabets
    BOONDOX math alphabets Michael Sharpe msharpe at ucsd dot edu The BOONDOX fonts are PostScript versions of subsets of the STIX fonts corresponding to regular and bold weights of three alphabets—calligraphic, fraktur and double struck, aka blackboard bold. Support files are provided so that they can be called up from LATEX math mode using the commands \mathcal, \mathbcal, \mathfrak, \mathbfrak, \mathbb and \mathbbb. The font family name derives from the fact that, at least in the US, the phrase “in the boondox” implies “in the stix.” The base PostScript fonts were constructed from STIXGeneral.otf and STIXGeneralBol.otf using a FontForge script, resulting in zxxrl8a.pfb % BOONDOXDoubleStruck-Regular zxxbl8a.pfb % BOONDOXDoubleStruck-Bold zxxrw8a.pfb % BOONDOXCalligraphic-Regular zxxbw8a.pfb % BOONDOXCalligraphic-Bold zxxrf8a.pfb % BOONDOXFraktur-Regular zxxbf8a.pfb % BOONDOXFraktur-Bold together with the corresponding .afm files. (The names are almost Berry conformant: the initial z warns that they break the rules, and the font id xx is completely unblessed by any authority. The remaining parts are nearly OK, except that the font lack many glyphs normally in 8a encoding, but all glyphs are in the correct slots.) Using afm2tfm, the afm files were transformed to raw tfm files (kern information discarded) zxxrl7z.tfm zxxbl7z.tfm zxxrw7z.tfm zxxbw7z.tfm zxxrf7z.tfm zxxbf7z.tfm zxxrow7z.tfm % same as zxxrw7z, less oblique zxxbow7z.tfm % same as zxxbw7z, less oblique which serve as the basis for further virtual math fonts. Finally, using FontForge scripts and manual adjustments to the metrics to suit my personal taste, produces (no pretense of using Berry names): 1 BOONDOX-r-cal.tfm BOONDOX-b-cal.tfm BOONDOX-r-calo.tfm BOONDOX-b-calo.tfm BOONDOX-r-frak.tfm BOONDOX-b-frak.tfm BOONDOX-r-ds.tfm BOONDOX-b-ds.tfm and the corresponding .vf files.
