A Sawdust-Compressing Machine

Compressing the Graphs in G-machine by Tag-Forwarding

G-machine is an eecient implementation of lazy functional languages. It is a fast way to perform the graph reduction. However, it needs a lot of space to store the graphs, which seems an inherent deeciency of graph reduction. In this paper, we propose a way to compress the graphs by forwarding the tag of a graph node to the location of a pointer pointing to the node. A tag is forwarded with the...

Nutritive Value of Sawdust

The present study was undertaken to observe the chemical composition of different types of sawdust available in the urban and peri-urban areas of Chittagong, Bangladesh. Twenty different types of sawdust from different plants were collected from study areas. Chemical analyses of the samples were carried out in triplicate for moisture, dry matter (DM), metabolizable energy (ME), crude protein (C...

Burn due to a sawdust explosion.

Burns due to explosions of various types of inflammable dust have been reported, including coal dust, flour and grain dust. A 33-year-old worker was burned over 33 per cent of his body surface area in a sawdust explosion. Recovery was uneventful. This is the first reported case due to this mechanism as far as we have been able to ascertain.

Compressing Information

If the original file contained audio, or an image, we may not be worried about recovering all the bits of the original file, we just want whatever we recover to sound or look the same as the original. As we pointed out at the end of the last section, the computer files you customarily use to store images and sounds contain far fewer bytes than the corresponding bitmap and wave files we dealt wi...
