This text gives a rough, but linear summary covering some key definitions, notations, and propositions from Lambda Calculus: Its Syntax and Semantics, the classical monograph by Barendregt. First, we define a theory of untyped extensional lambda calculus. Then, some syntactic sugar, a system of combinatory logic, and the fixed point theorem are described. The final section introduces a topology...

This is a welcome addition to the well-known 'Synopsis' series. These, owing to the absence of illustrations, are not suitable as an introduction to the subject, but form an excellent means of revision before examinations. Not all ophthalmologists will agree with some of the advice given. For example, the treatment of photophthalmia electrica given is cold bathing, dark room, and astringent lot...

This volume is a report of a meeting sponsored by the March of Dimes-Birth Defects Foundation at the University of California, San Diego, in June of 1981. It consists of a series of original papers which were presented at the conference and is divided into two sections: one on syndromes and the second on cytogenetics. A large variety of interesting papers on the subject of dysmorphology discuss...

our opinion a very successful one. The book is very full of detail, but the matter is so condensed as to occupy but little space, and the style though necessarily terse is by no means unpleasant. The arrangement of paragraphs and type admirably fulfils its purpose of presenting the text in a manner easy for reference or committing to memory. To the general description of the mechanism of normal...

The present study is an attempt to provide a current synopsis of World Englishes within globalized communities, as well as theoretical and applied feasibility of global linguistic features of English as an International Language (EIL). To do so, first, three main reactions against the spread of English by scholars around the world are discussed. Then, the possibility of describing and teaching ...

Several wavelet synopsis construction algorithms were previously proposed based on dynamic programming for unrestricted Haar wavelet synopses as well as Haar synopses. However, they find an optimal synopsis for every incoming value in each node of a coe cient tree, even if di↵erent incoming values share an identical optimal synopsis. To alleviate the limitation, we present novel algorithms, whi...
