Cubic Virial Equation of State - CH Ting
When
considering gas, liquid, solid state equilibrium, the Cubic Virial Equation of
State performs much better than the van der Waals Equation of State as the
former eliminates the singularity of the latter. Although solid state is
present in all materials, it has eluded chemical physicists until now.

Block Editor 2: Blocks of Doom - Brad
Nelson
For a decade ... they were a part of your daily life.
In a
simpler time ... a trusty companion.
They took you places you'd never dreamt
existed.
They made you faster and stronger ... than you'd ever been
before.
They put magic at your fingertips.
They made you laugh.... they
made you cry.
But as the world raced forward, they stayed the same.
As
the future became the present, they faded into the background.
You
thought you'd seen the last of them ...
UNTIL NOW!
In 2015, the
block editor of yesterday becomes the editor of tomorrow.
A new kind of
block editor for a future filled with danger and armed with all new powers:
files, color, search, and more columns than ever before.
While armies of
thousands toil on operating systems with millions of lines of code, where the
privacy, security, and fate of billions hang in the balance, one editor stands
against a tidal wave of complexity.
This March, enter a world where each
line of code makes a difference.
Believe in the power of little
things.
Block Editor 2 --- Blocks of Doom
Your source code awaits

A Shift / Reduce Peephole Optimized Code Generator -
Samuel A. Falvo II
"I'll showcase a relatively simple code generator
prototype capable of translating Forth expressions into relatively efficient
RISC-V assembly. Most stack permutations are optimized away, taking advantage
of the RISC-V's available registers." |
