A Simple Cellular Automation that Solves the Density and Ordering Problems

Cellular automata (CA) are discrete, dynamical systems that perform computations in a distributed fashion on a spatially extended grid. The dynamical behavior of a CA may give rise to emergent computation, referring to the appearance of global information processing capabilities that are not explicitly represented in the system's elementary components nor in their local interconnections.1 As such, CAs o?er an austere yet versatile model for studying natural phenomena, as well as a powerful paradigm for attaining ?ne-grained, massively parallel computation. An example of such emergent computation is to use a CA to determine the global density of bits in an initial state con?guration. This problem, known as density classi?cation, has been studied quite intensively over the past few years. In this short communication we describe two previous versions of the problem along with their CA solutions, and then go on to show that there exists yet a third version | which admits a simple solution

REGIONAL AND NATIONAL IMPACTS OF EXPANDED PACIFIC NORTHWEST POTATO PRODUCTION

A 46-equation econometric model of the U.S. potato market was developed. The model examines the determination of planted acreage, yield, production, and farm prices in the Pacific Northwest and in five other producing regions which compete with Northwest production. National demand relationships for potatoes used in processing, fresh consumption and livestock feed are also specified. These estimated relationships are used to simulate future scenarios which assume alternative rates of expansion for Northwest potato production. Results suggest that opportunities for considerable expansion of Northwest potato production exist if the secular shift in potato demand continues and increases in acreage are not excessive or expansion does not occur too quickly.Crop Production/Industries,

The Monument Project (Si Monumentum Reqiuis Circumspice) Leonardo article

This paper describes the concepts, ideas, background and operations of The Monument Project (Si Monumentum Requiris Circumspice), a digital video installation that produces a continuous stream of weather-responsive panoramic images from the top of the Monument in the City of London. The work, which was commissioned by Julian Harrap Architects, was part of a £4.5 million refurbishment of the 17th-century landmark, designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Dr. Robert Hooke to commemorate the Great Fire of London in 1666
