Programming with Higher-Order Logic

Programming with Higher-Order Logic

Dale Miller; Gopalan Nadathur

Cambridge University Press
2012
sidottu
Formal systems that describe computations over syntactic structures occur frequently in computer science. Logic programming provides a natural framework for encoding and animating such systems. However, these systems often embody variable binding, a notion that must be treated carefully at a computational level. This book aims to show that a programming language based on a simply typed version of higher-order logic provides an elegant, declarative means for providing such a treatment. Three broad topics are covered in pursuit of this goal. First, a proof-theoretic framework that supports a general view of logic programming is identified. Second, an actual language called ?Prolog is developed by applying this view to higher-order logic. Finally, a methodology for programming with specifications is exposed by showing how several computations over formal objects such as logical formulas, functional programs, and ?-terms and p-calculus expressions can be encoded in ?Prolog.
Dinkum Diggers

Dinkum Diggers

Dale James Blair

Melbourne University Press

Tall, sun-bronzed, hardy. Resourceful, independent, egalitarian. Scornful of authority, loyal to their mates. These mythical characteristics of the Anzac 'diggers' are central to our idea of what it is to be Australian. But did the soldiers themselves fit the stereotype? How closely does the myth match the reality?This penetrating study strips away celebratory generalisations and measures the Anzac legend against the actual experiences of one battalion that fought at Gallipoli and on the Western Front in World War I. The diaries and letters written by soldiers of the 1st Battalion reveal attitudes, insights, comments and criticisms that qualify and even contradict the Anzac legend. In Dinkum Diggers, Dale James Blair compares these first-hand accounts by front-line infantrymen with unit diaries, operational records, service and repatriation records, as well as with interviews with family members and statistical analysis, to present a well-rounded picture of the complexities of the 1st Battalion's experience. By narrowing the focus of Australian war experience to a single battalion, he demonstrates nuances and subtleties, showing how the men viewed and reacted to their own officers and how both officers and men behaved in combat. He follows these war-damaged soldiers into civilian life, where they mostly kept quiet as conservative forces worked to enshrine and sanitise Australia's sacrifice. This book makes a notable contribution to revisionist studies about World War I. It is a patient, thorough and scholarly demolition job on the Anzac legend, a reality check on back-slapping triumphalism and the glorification of war.
The Most I Could Be

The Most I Could Be

Dale Kent

Melbourne University Press

"Of all the exhilarating slogans that galvanised women in the 1970s, determined to change ourselves and the world, the one that really inspired me was: 'Be the most that you can!' Even as a small girl, I was eager to be the most I possibly could. This desire drove my life."Raised in an aspirational Australian working-class family of Christian Scientists, in the 1960s Dale Kent embarked on a lifelong struggle to fulfil the desire of many women of her generation-to be the most she could be. Despite discrimination and self-doubt, she escaped her controlling family and established an international career as a historian of the Florentine Renaissance. But she failed to liberate herself from the crippling views of women, love and sex she had internalised in childhood. Craving independence and sexual fulfilment, Kent left her child with her husband and started afresh in the United States on an academic road trip that took in Berkeley, Harvard, Princeton and the National Gallery of Art. Her story, both poignant and darkly comical, traces a counterpoint between increasing professional success, a desperate search for a sexual soulmate and a way back to her daughter.
The End of Alzheimer's Program: The First Protocol to Enhance Cognition and Reverse Decline at Any Age
The New York Times Best Selling author of The End of Alzheimer's lays out a specific plan to help everyone prevent and reverse cognitive decline or simply maximize brainpower. In The End of Alzheimer's Dale Bredesen laid out the science behind his revolutionary new program that is the first to both prevent and reverse symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Now he lays out the detailed program he uses with his own patients. Accessible and detailed, it can be tailored to anyone's needs and will enhance cognitive ability at any age. What we call Alzheimer's disease is actually a protective response to a wide variety of insults to the brain: inflammation, insulin resistance, toxins, infections, and inadequate levels of nutrients, hormones, and growth factors. Bredesen starts by having us figure out which of these insults we need to address and continues by laying out a personalized lifestyle plan. Focusing on the Ketoflex 12/3 Diet, which triggers ketosis and lets the brain restore itself with a minimum 12-hour fast, Dr. Bredesen drills down on restorative sleep, targeted supplementation, exercise, and brain training. He also examines the tricky question of toxic exposure and provides workarounds for many difficult problems. The takeaway is that we do not need to do the program perfectly but will see tremendous results if we can do it well enough. With inspiring stories from patients who have reversed cognitive decline and are now thriving, this book shifts the treatment paradigm and offers a new and effective way to enhance cognition as well as unprecedented hope to sufferers of this now no longer deadly disease.

"One of the most important books on education to come along in years." -- New York Times Book Review A New York Times Notable Book - A Best Book of the Year, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, The New Yorker, and Publishers Weekly - A Best History Book of 2015, Amazon - Finalist for the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize - Finalist for the Bernstein Award - Winner of the New Jersey Studies Academic Alliance Authors Award? "Impeccably researched . . . Russakoff pulls readers in with richly drawn real-world characters." -- Atlantic "Stunning . . . Russakoff's narrative is rich with details and anecdotes that showcase the quality of her writing and bring Newark to life." -- Chicago Tribune When Mark Zuckerberg announced his $100 million pledge to transform the Newark schools and create an education model that could be applied to any city in the nation, it looked like a huge win for New Jersey politicians Cory Booker and Chris Christie. But their plan met the opposition of Newark's key education players, who were fiercely protective of their billion-dollar-a-year system -- a prize that, for generations, had enriched seemingly everyone, except Newark's students. With deeply drawn portraits of everyone from the philanthropists throwing millions at a haphazard plan, to the teachers fighting to reach students damaged by extreme poverty and violence, The Prize is a riveting account of the complexities and challenges that face all of America's failing schools. "Russakoff provides insights that should prove useful both to contemporary school reformers and to citizens hoping to understand their efforts." -- Washington Post "A moving and thought-provoking book . . . Invaluable." -- New York Times

This essential biography of one of the most influential women of the past century shows how truly remarkable Jane Goodall's accomplishments have been. Goodall was a secretarial school graduate when Louis Leakey, unable to find someone with more fitting credentials, first sent her to Gombe to study chimpanzees. In this acclaimed work, Dale Peterson details how this young woman of uncommon resourcefulness and pluck would go on to set radically new standards in the study of animal behavior. He vividly captures the triumphs and setbacks of her dramatic life, including the private quest that led to her now-famous activism. Peterson, a longtime Goodall collaborator, has a unique knowledge of his subject. Candid and illuminating, this work will be a revelation even to readers who are familiar with the public Goodall as presented in her own writing.

How To Make A Small Church Grow

How To Make A Small Church Grow

One of the most difficult things to do is to take a church, that has been small for a long time, and cause it to grow. It is difficult at best. It requires a great deal of prayer and a well laid plan. You cannot just go into the task and "wing it." If you don't have a plan going in then you are destined for failure. How do I know that it is difficult to cause a small church to grow? Because the average church in America has an attendance of just sixty five! Only one percent of churches are over one thousand in attendance. As I am writing this book 59 churches a day are closing their doors. I don't want to be average and I don't believe you do either. You may not want a church of thousands but you definitely want to do more than you are presently doing. As with any task you need to know what you are doing and how to go about it. This book is designed to give you an outline of things to look at and help you think through each step that you plan to take.

'In this study, Patrick and Scult are well informed on the theory of "discourses as power" but they do not linger over dense theoretical issues. Rather they show in concrete cases how discourse works. Their study of Job both puts such theory to good advantage, and shows us Job afresh. The book is lucid, disciplined, and accessible, a great help in time of trouble.' (Walter Brueggemann)

The Former captain from the reality TV show "Wicked Tuna Outer Banks". Dale Lisi has compiled several aspects of considerable consequence that have taken place in his life and assembled them into literary form in "Good and Evil". Containing the horrific depiction of the loss of his left arm in a boating accident in 1992, which would ultimately change his life completely, recollections of self-inflicted drug use during his teenage years, driving to New York city in the 1980's to buy crack cocaine after watching an episode of the popular television news show "60 minutes" entitled "48 hours on Crack Street", several Graphic memories of overdoses involving PCP and LSD in the late 80's. As well as, iconic influences that played a part in those particular life choices. But what sets "Good and Evil" aside from all other books is not the madness and chaos during Lisi's life as a youth, but the seemingly insane limits he goes to in an attempt to regain an arm from God, as well as his theories on Religion and popular topics of the Bible. Traveling to desolate remote regions, deliberately placing himself in life threatening situations; the mountains in the winter, the desert, and taking his 24' boat over 200 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean until it ran out of fuel and then attempted to sink it - no radio, no food, no life raft. Though an arm was not regained, the answers to the mysteries of this World were revealed as time unfolded. Mathematics, Science, History, Language, Law and Religion, all conspiring as witnesses to the Beginning and the End. Dare to read "Good and Evil", it will change your life as it intrigues, torments, and astounds you and the way you will come to see the world. You have never read anything like this before. Sex, Drugs, Rock-n-Roll, Religion and Death; it's all in here waiting to get at you. What creature walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs at noon, and 3 legs in the evening? It is not man, but the Beast. We all have one common enemy. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR EXPERIENCE We are all only here for a very short time but what you do here will determine where you spend eternity. We have devoted all of our resources to existing for a few more years here, which will dissolve just as the ones before. This world is very clever and has us doing things we are even aware we are doing. KJV. REV:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Do you not need money to survive in this world? Does not all our money have a picture, an image? Is not this image not of person of this earth? Are not we all beasts? What is the difference between the anatomy of a man and an animal? Are we not trading with marks with the image of a beast on them? Do these marks not run our lives so that we can exist? You need to look at what is going on. If you ever wanted to understand the Bible and Jesus, you need to read "Good and Evil". This is not just another book with unsupported theories, as hard as it may seem to believe, this book has answers. This is the second most important book you will ever read and it will force you to read the most important Book.

The death penalty was Virginia's longest continuing tradition, dating back to 1608 when Capt. George Kendall was shot for treason. Since then, Virginia has executed 1,390 people, more than any other state. This number includes 94 women, 736 enslaved people, and at least 16 children whose ages were verified between 11 and 17."Closing the Slaughterhouse" exposes the corruption and systemic racial bias of Virginia's death penalty. Virginia used capital punishment as legal lynching, wielding it primarily against Blacks in crimes against whites. In addition to the significant number of executions, between 1976 and 2017, Virginia streamlined the legal process, killing people twice as fast as other states.On July 1, 2021, the former capital of the Confederacy became the first southern state to abolish the death penalty, led by a bipartisan coalition adopting a deliberate, bipartisan, and systematic approach. Abolition was the culmination of a tireless, decades-long effort to achieve this once unattainable goal, led by sometimes larger-than-life personalities, volunteers, non-profit organizations, and numerous others. "Closing the Slaughterhouse" traces all 413 years of Virginia's death penalty.

The prose is gorgeous and sprinkled with vivid descriptions. Focused and well-crafted scenes, exciting dialogues, action, and emotionally rich characters are a few of the elements that elevate the quality of this narrative, turning it into a gripping story.Tom Kilmer replaced the retiring legendary wrestling coach in a small Iowa town recognized for its deep winning tradition. In a community where winning on the wrestling mat had become a family trait, transitioning to a new coach would not come easy, and losing would be difficult to accept. In the coach's first year, the tradition came crashing down on the Cresco Spartans, who suffered their first losing season in twenty-eight years. The coach understood how the physical aspect of growing up working on a farm contributed to the brutal and mental toughness of being a successful wrestler. But as the wrestlers and their families struggled through personal tragedies, they found themselves depending on the young coach and his wife for support. Would his relationships with his wrestlers be enough to pull his team together before the weight of the tradition becomes too much? This creatively written novel presents readers with an inside perspective of the life within a successful high school wrestling program in the early 1970s, displaying how the athletes, coaches, and those around them interacted, grew and dealt with adversity. Sports enthusiasts and supporters, young and old, will resonate with many of the experiences and situations that the characters find themselves within as they develop team cohesiveness in a totally individual sport.
