Aims : Trithrinax campestris is one of the palm species with southernmost distribution in Neotropics. Despite that vegetation types which T. occurs are nowadays heavily threatened by land use and cover changes, their floristic composition structure still to be documented. In order characterize habitats, aim this study was describe relationships different environmental factors. Study area The su...

We welcome and appreciate the comment by Braun and Schmidt on our recent correspondence about the gambler's fallacy in goalkeeper behaviour during penalty shoot-outs. Braun and Schmidt assert that the binomial is more appropriate for analysing the data than our resampling approach. Their analyses appear to assume that dive direction is binomially distributed with a probability of 0.5. In fact, ...

A 4x4 bit multiplier is demonstrated based on the Chinese abacus. As comparing the simulation result of this work with the speed and power consumption of the 4x4 bits Braun array multiplier, the delays of the 4-bit abacus multiplier are 19.7% and 10.6% less than that of Braun array multiplier with 0.35μm and 0.18μm technologies, respectively. Meanwhile, the power consumption of the 4-bit abacus...

This formalization is an extension to [3]. In their work, the authors have shown that Braun et al.’s static single assignment (SSA) construction algorithm [1] produces minimal SSA form for input programs with a reducible control flow graph (CFG). However Braun et al. also proposed an extension to their algorithm that they claim produces minimal SSA form even for irreducible CFGs. In this formal...

A 4x4 and 8x8 bit multiplier is demonstrated based on the Chinese abacus. As comparing the simulation result of this work with the speed of the 4x4 and 8x8 bits Braun array multiplier, the delays of the 8-bit abacus multiplier are 14% and 7.5% less than that of Braun array multiplier with 0.35μm and 0.18μm technologies, respectively. Meanwhile, the power consumption of the 8-bit abacus multipli...
