In the Belly of the Whale is a gripping epic that takes readers on a profound voyage through time and space aboard an enormous generation ship. The narrative captures the poignant transformation of Earth''s finest minds into a stifling regime, their rigid rules sparking an uprising among the hard-pressed crew. This provocative tale delves into the price of freedom, the metamorphosis of societies, and the repeating patterns of tyranny and liberation. Against this, Earth itself is undergoing a significant period of change, offering a layered, thought-provoking backdrop to the story. In the Belly of the Whale is a compelling exploration of humanity''s enduring pursuit of freedom, pushing the boundaries of the genre to offer a deeply insightful study of societal evolution and individual resilience. Thisis more than a space odyssey; it''s an invitation to delve into the heart of the human spirit and societal dynamics.

Sad and Happy Days is the first part of the autobiographical novel Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roach: Cedric''s Story. As the title suggests, it''s the story of a life buffeted by turbulence and dramatic change, this first part beginning in the drear fifties, spanning the blossoming colour, chaos and sexual liberation of the sixties, and, out of necessity, breaking off in the early seventies. It is a reflection on an individual person''s life, and on the period itself and what it was that was that for better or worse was changing. It is a study of the vulnerability of innocence to corruption, with the conviction running throughout of the goodness of nature, and of human nature in particular. The content includes sexual themes from childhood and adulthood, dealing with both masturbation and pornography. The content itself, however, is not pornographic.

Music abides as an elemental force in the lives and situations chronicled in each of these seventeen stories and a concluding novella. The opening five stories groove to a noirish, mid-century jazz idiom, and the twelve middle stories develop as movements in an interconnected symphony of frustrations and felicities, while the novella charts in detail the pre-and-post Covid inner life of a boomer poet struggling obsessively with her bulimia and professional career aspirations. What all the characters share is a desire to follow Emerson''s advice to "make much of your own place."

State departments of transportation (DOTs) conduct planning and administer funding programs for the implementation of pedestrian and bicycle projects. The amount of federal funds available for these projects has grown steadily since 1992 under programs implemented as part of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program''s NCHRP Synthesis 564: Practices for Selecting Pedestrian and Bicycle Projects documents and summarizes state DOT practices for selecting pedestrian and bicycle projects, excluding design elements.

My 2012 thesis exhibition was created to represent my visual perspective as an artist. Each work began with an initial idea or spark of inspiration. However, it is the process leading to the final outcome that shapes each visual composition. All of my works are similar in that they are multifaceted in terms of both meaning and structure, but each is unique in terms of when and where it was created. My form of expression is based on a response to my current position in the world and a reaction to the events and imagery I see in my everyday life. By finding inspiration in my surroundings and basing my artistic process on available resources, I can construct a work of art to address any topic. Throughout this presentation I will be discussing the origins of my selected ideas, processes, and the ideas or sparks behind the work I make. Aligning my artistic practice with both raw video imagery and process driven sculpture, I have an integrated my own artistic voice.

This report presents the design of a 64-bit integer multiplier core that can perform 32-bit or 16-bit parallel integer multiplications(PMUL) and 32-bit or 16-bit parallel integer multiplications followed by additions(PMADD). The proposed multiplier removes sign and constant bits from its core and projects them to the boundaries to minimize the complexity of base cells. It also adopts an array-of-arrays architecture with unequal array sizes by decoupling partial product generation from carry save addition. This makes it possible to achieve high speed for 64-bit multiplication. Two architectures, which are done in dual-rail domino, are tested for functionality in Verilog and simulated in HSPICE for TSMC 0.35um process. The first architecture is capable of both PMUL and PMADD. The estimated delay is 4.9 ns (excluding a final adder) at 3.3V supply and 25c and its estimated area is 6.5 mm*2. The estimated delay of the second architecture, only capable of PMUL, is 4.5 ns. Its estimated area is 5.2 mm*2.

The next generation of computer system designers will be less concerned about details of processors and memories, and more concerned about the elements of a system tailored to particular applications. These designers will have a fundamental knowledge of processors and other elements in the system, but the success of their design will depend on the skills in making system-level tradeoffs that optimize the cost, performance and other attributes to meet application requirements. This book provides a new treatment of computer system design, particularly for System-on-Chip (SOC), which addresses the issues mentioned above. It begins with a global introduction, from the high-level view to the lowest common denominator (the chip itself), then moves on to the three main building blocks of an SOC (processor, memory, and interconnect). Next is an overview of what makes SOC unique (its customization ability and the applications that drive it). The final chapter presents future challenges for system design and SOC possibilities.
