Two computer programs were designed for helping in library handling and microbial identification by means of their infrared spectra. The program 'Transform' runs in the IR Data Manager environment and produces ASCII files containing transformed data from infrared absorbance spectra. The program 'WinSpectra' is written in Visual Basic v. 3.0. It imports the ASCII files created with 'Transform', ...

The original OHP specification was intended to define a simple but comprehensive ASCII protocol to deal with hypertext objects. However, this was too broad an issue to be addressed by a single protocol. Therefore, we have focused on navigational hypertext and produced a specification that is more powerful within this more specific domain. This paper describes the design of OHP-Nav, defined both...

(IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months. Internet-Drafts may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is not appropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as a "working draft" ...

A computer program listing consisting of a single file entitled ArQ-Src1-6.txt, in ASCII format, is included with this patent application.

We present the xbVLISP programming environment currently under development in our laboratory which integrates textual, graphical and analogical representations of programs. This environment should be of help during the development of programs (including the handling of unfinished and/or erroneous programs), the observation of their execution (through the capacity of animating the various repres...

W e study the M / G / queue where customers arrive according to a sinusoidal function Xt = + A sin(27rt/T) and the service rate is u. We show that the expected number of customers in the system during peak congestion can be closely approximated by (X + A) / p for service distributions with coefficient of variation between 0 and 1. Motivated by a result derived by Eick, Massey, and Whitt that th...

Classically, sending more than one bit of information requires manipulation of more than one two-state particle. We demonstrate experimentally that one can transmit one of three messages, i.e., 1 “trit” ø 1.58 bit, by manipulating only one of two entangled particles. The increased channel capacity is proven by transmitting ASCII characters in five trits instead of the usual 8 bits. [S0031-9007(...
