Only eight bits (i.e. d9 to d2) are used for identifying the offset words. The remaining two bits (i.e. d1 and d0 ) are set to logical level zero. The six offset words (A, B, C, C', D, E) of the table below are used for all applications. For MMBS applications an additional offset word E is used to maintain synchronization. Table A.1 Binary value Offset word d9 d8 d7 d6 d5 d4 d3 d2 d1 d0 A 0011111100 B 0110011000 C 0101101000 C' 1101010000 D 0110110100 E 1) 0000000000 The offset words are added (modulo-two) to the checkword c9 - c0 to generate the modified check-bits: c'9 - c'0 (see 2.3, Error protection). 1) Attention is drawn to the fact that, in the USA (see [15] of annex Q), offset word E (binary value = 0) is used in multiples of four blocks, when RDS and MMBS are simultaneously implemented. Offset word E must not be used in RDS implementations corresponding to this specification. Page 73 U.S. RBDS Standard ANNEX B (informative) Theory and implementation of the modified shortened cyclic code The data format described in this document uses a shortened cyclic block code, which is given the capability of detecting block-synchronization-slip by the addition (modulo-two) of chosen binary sequences (offset words, see annex A) to the check bits of each codeword [4, 6, 7]. B.1 Encoding procedure B.1.1 Theory A definitive description of the encoding of the information is given in 3.2. The code used is an optimum burst-error-correcting shortened cyclic code [5] and has the generator polynomial: g(x) = x10 + x8 + x7 + x5 + x4 + x3 + 1 Each block consists of 16 information bits and 10 check bits. Thus the block length is 26 bits. The 10-bit checkword of the basic shortened cyclic code may be formed in the usual way, i.e. it is the remainder after multiplication by xn-k (where n-k is the number of check bits, 10 here), and then division (modulo- two) by the generator polynomial g(x), of the message vector. 15 14 Thus if the polynomial m(x) = m15 x + m14 x + ... + m1 x + m0 (where the coefficients mn are 0 or 1), represents the 16-bit message vector, the basic code vector v(x) is given by: The transmitted code vector is then formed by the addition (modulo-two) of the 10-bit offset word, d(x) (see annex A) to the basic code vector v(x). Thus the transmitted code vector, c(x), is given by: 25 10 The code vector is transmitted m.s.b. first, i.e. information bits c25x to c10x , followed by modified 9 0 check bits c9'x to c0'x . Page 74 U.S. RBDS Standard The encoding process may alternatively be considered in terms of its generator matrix G which is derived from the generator polynomial. The 16 information bits are expressed as a 16 x 1 column matrix and multiplied by the generator matrix to give the information bits and check bits. The complete transmitted code

  • Sample Induction Ceremony for Honors Membership in Lambda Pi Eta
    Sample Induction Ceremony for Honors Membership in Lambda Pi Eta The following is a sample script for a Lambda Pi Eta induction ceremony. Please feel free to use it as a guide and adapt it to meet the individual needs of your chapter. Room Set-up: Chairs are arranged theater style with a center aisle. A table is in the front of the room with three candles. To the right is a podium for speakers and to the rear of the room is a table for refreshments. Greeters meet people at the door with a program and any other handouts. Faculty Advisor: I would like to begin by welcoming everyone to the Lambda Pi Eta (your chapter) Induction ceremony. First, it is my pleasure to introduce to you the chapter officers and our special guests (make a list of chapter officers and any special guests). President: The name Lambda Pi Eta is represented by the Greek letters L (lambda), P (pi), and H (eta) symbolizing what Aristotle described in his book Rhetoric as the three modes of persuasion: Logos meaning logic, Pathos relating to emotion, and Ethos defined as character credibility and ethics. The candle lighting ceremony will describe each of these Greek letters. Lambda Pi Eta was initiated by the students of the Department of Communication at the University of Arkansas and was then endorsed by the faculty and founder, Dr. Stephen A. Smith in 1985. The Speech Communication Association established Lambda Pi Eta as an affiliate organization and as the official national communication honor society for undergraduates in 1994.

  • The Use of Gamma in Place of Digamma in Ancient Greek
    Mnemosyne (2020) 1-22 brill.com/mnem The Use of Gamma in Place of Digamma in Ancient Greek Francesco Camagni University of Manchester, UK [email protected] Received August 2019 | Accepted March 2020 Abstract Originally, Ancient Greek employed the letter digamma ( ϝ) to represent the /w/ sound. Over time, this sound disappeared, alongside the digamma that denoted it. However, to transcribe those archaic, dialectal, or foreign words that still retained this sound, lexicographers employed other letters, whose sound was close enough to /w/. Among these, there is the letter gamma (γ), attested mostly but not only in the Lexicon of Hesychius. Given what we know about the sound of gamma, it is difficult to explain this use. The most straightforward hypothesis suggests that the scribes who copied these words misread the capital digamma (Ϝ) as gamma (Γ). Presenting new and old evidence of gamma used to denote digamma in Ancient Greek literary and documen- tary papyri, lexicography, and medieval manuscripts, this paper refutes this hypoth- esis, and demonstrates that a peculiar evolution in the pronunciation of gamma in Post-Classical Greek triggered a systematic use of this letter to denote the sound once represented by the digamma. Keywords Ancient Greek language – gamma – digamma – Greek phonetics – Hesychius – lexicography © Francesco Camagni, 2020 | doi:10.1163/1568525X-bja10018 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the CC BY 4.0Downloaded license. from Brill.com09/30/2021 01:54:17PM via free access 2 Camagni 1 Introduction It is well known that many ancient Greek dialects preserved the /w/ sound into the historical period, contrary to Attic-Ionic and Koine Greek.

  • DRAFT Arabtex a System for Typesetting Arabic User Manual Version 4.00
    DRAFT ArabTEX a System for Typesetting Arabic User Manual Version 4.00 12 Klaus Lagally May 25, 1999 1Report Nr. 1998/09, Universit¨at Stuttgart, Fakult¨at Informatik, Breitwiesenstraße 20–22, 70565 Stuttgart, Germany 2This Report supersedes Reports Nr. 1992/06 and 1993/11 Overview ArabTEX is a package extending the capabilities of TEX/LATEX to generate the Perso-Arabic writing from an ASCII transliteration for texts in several languages using the Arabic script. It consists of a TEX macro package and an Arabic font in several sizes, presently only available in the Naskhi style. ArabTEX will run with Plain TEXandalsowithLATEX2e. It is compatible with Babel, CJK, the EDMAC package, and PicTEX (with some restrictions); other additions to TEX have not been tried. ArabTEX is primarily intended for generating the Arabic writing, but the stan- dard scientific transliteration can also be easily produced. For languages other than Arabic that are customarily written in extensions of the Perso-Arabic script some limited support is available. ArabTEX defines its own input notation which is both machine, and human, readable, and suited for electronic transmission and E-Mail communication. However, texts in many of the Arabic standard encodings can also be processed. Starting with Version 3.02, ArabTEX also provides support for fully vowelized Hebrew, both in its private ASCII input notation and in several other popular encodings. ArabTEX is copyrighted, but free use for scientific, experimental and other strictly private, noncommercial purposes is granted. Offprints of scientific publi- cations using ArabTEX are welcome. Using ArabTEX otherwise requires a license agreement. There is no warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied.

  • The Arabi System — TEX Writes in Arabic and Farsi
    The Arabi system | ] ¨r` [ A\ TEX writes in Arabic and Farsi Youssef Jabri Ecole´ Nationale des Sciences Appliqu´ees, Oujda, Morocco yjabri (at) ensa dot univ-oujda dot ac dot ma Abstract In this paper, we will present a newly arrived package on CTAN that provides Arabic script support for TEX without the need for an external pre-processor. The Arabi package adds one of the last major multilingual typesetting capabilities to Babel by adding support for the Arabic ¨r and Farsi ¨FCA languages. Other languages using the Arabic script should also be more or less easily imple- mentable. Arabi comes with many good quality free fonts, Arabic and Farsi, and may also use commercial fonts. It supports many 8-bit input encodings (namely, CP-1256, ISO-8859-6 and Unicode UTF-8) and can typeset classical Arabic poetry. The package is distributed under the LATEX Project Public License (LPPL), and has the LPPL maintenance status \author-maintained". It can be used freely (including commercially) to produce beautiful texts that mix Arabic, Farsi and Latin (or other) characters.

The name was assigned by the French epigraphist Jean­Vincent Scheil in the early 20th century, who believed it to be the predecessor of a ‘proper’ Elamite script, which would have been used for recording the Elamite language, simply on account of the location of the tablets at Susa, which was the capital city of Elam. While no ‘proper’ descendent of the script has been identified, scholars continue to use the name ‘Proto­Elamite’ as a matter of convention (Dahl 2012: 2). Proto­Elamite is believed to have been developed from an accounting system used in Mesopotamia, in a manner similar to the development of ‘Proto­Cuneiform’.

  • Technical Advisory Group on Machine Readable Travel Documents (Tag/Mrtd) Twentieth Meeting
    TAG/MRTD/20-WP/17 6/09/11 English Only International Civil Aviation Organization WORKING PAPER TECHNICAL ADVISORY GROUP ON MACHINE READABLE TRAVEL DOCUMENTS (TAG/MRTD) TWENTIETH MEETING Montréal, 7 to 9 September 2011 Agenda Item 2: Activities of the NTWG Agenda Item 2.9: Transliteration Rules (Arabic) TRANSLITERATION RULES (ARABIC) (Presented by the NTWG) 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The purpose of the working paper is to inform the TAG of the progress made on the recommended transliteration of Arabic national characters for Doc Doc 9303, Machine Readable Travel Documents , Part 1 — Machine Readable Passports , Volume1, Section IV, Appendix 9. These recommended transliterations apply to the MRZ only. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Transliteration of Arabic characters applies mainly to the name of the holder of the MRTD, and is critical for determining the true identity of the holder. At present, Arabic names are transcribed (phonetically) to Latin characters on an ad-hoc basis and this compromises identity management. 2.2 The only true and reliable source of identification is the original form of the name in Arabic characters. Thus, any transliteration scheme must preserve the original form of the name. 2.3 It would be advantageous to countries using the Arabic script if encoding the name in the MRZ led to machine reading producing the original form of the name in Arabic. This would allow these countries to gain the benefit of machine reading without having to deal with an intermediate form of the name as an inaccurate Latin transcription. 2.4 There is no known existing transliteration scheme for Arabic script that is suitable for the MRZ.
