We all live in a planetary Ark (planetary Ark, planetary Ark....)
The Biblical story of the Art (a floating, zoo-like device, constructed to survive climate turmoil and mass extinction) can be regarded as an archetypal image (in the terminology of Gaston Bachelard), capturing structural components of the human-animal relationship. Building on the contributions by Larson and Barr, Keulartz, Bovenkerk and Verweij, and Ramp and Bekoff, I will argue that, in the ...
متن کاملA subterranean ark
this ominous distinction. Elkhorn used to be the dominant species in shallow waters of the Caribbean, with a distribution range from Biscayne National Park, Florida, to the coast of Venezuela. Researchers believe that its abundance has been reduced by over 95% since 1980. Staghorn is the fastest-growing Western Atlantic coral and used to be found throughout the Caribbean. Its population has dec...
متن کاملCOMPaS: A Pentium Pro PC-based SMP Cluster and Its Experience
We have built an eight node SMP cluster called COMPaS (Cluster Of Multi-Processor Systems), each node of which is a quadprocessor Pentium Pro PC. We have designed and implemented a remote memory based user-level communication layer which provides lowoverhead and high bandwidth using Myrinet. We designed a hybrid programming model in order to take advantage of locality in each SMP node. Intra-no...
متن کاملPentium III = Pentium II + SSE: 3/8/99
The name, Pentium III, belies the processor’s modest changes. Extrapolating from the differences between Pentium and Pentium II—out-of-order execution, long pipeline, backside L2 cache, and a split-transaction bus— one might have expected Pentium III to be a completely new microprocessor. But the reality is less meaty; Katmai, the first member of the Pentium III family, is essentially a Pentium...
متن کاملThe Noah's Ark Problem
This paper is about the economic theory of biodiversity preservation. A cost-effectiveness methodology is constructed, which results in a particular formula that can be used as a criterion to rank projects. The ranking criterion is sufficiently operational to be useful in suggesting what to look at when determining actual conservation priorities among endangered species. At the same time, the f...
