Glenn Muller Interview, October 29, 1990
No full textGlenn Muller recalls learning to play guitar and saxophone as a child because his parents and siblings also played instruments. He talks about playing in Air Force bands as a young adult during the era of big band jazz and swing music. Muller describes how playing in these groups led him to play in Dixieland jazz bands later on in his life. He discusses his admiration for New Orleans-based jazz masters such as Louis Armstrong, Melvin James “Sy” Oliver, and Willie Gary “Bunk” Johnson, and his own affinity for playing improvisational types of jazz music. Muller and his wife talk about the different venues that he and his band have played and how Dixieland jazz bands, with up to 16 members, differ from popular music groups of the 1980s and ‘90s.
Muller’s wife, Dorothy, participates occasionally throughout the interview.https://scholarworks.umt.edu/missoulamusicians_oralhistory/1002/thumbnail.jp

Muller 2019; BMSA (D)02271; BMSA type no. 317. Micro-pinned specimen. Specimen deposited in the National Museum, Bloemfontein, South Africa. Paratype ♀ Same data as for Holotype. Paratype ♀ Coenosia flagelliseta sp. nov.; B.S. Muller 2019; BMSA (D)02273; BMSA type no. 318. Micro-pinned specimen, genitalia dissected, stored together with abdomen in vial under specimen. Specimen deposited in the National Museum, Bloemfontein, South Africa. Diagnosis. Males can easily be distinguished from other known species of Coenosia by the whip-like setae and setulae on the thorax and legs. The females have a supramedian posterior seta on the mid tibia, which is absent in the female of C. curiosa, the only other known globuliseta -group species with the female described. Correction. The original BMSA type numbers 306 and 307 assigned to the holotype (BMSA(D)02271, and female paratype (BMSA(D)02273) respectively in Muller (2019) were incorrectly assigned due to an administrative error and were already preoccupied by other specimens in the National Museum, Bloemfontein collection. The new correct numbers are included in the material examined citation above for future reference.Also, the female paratype is also incorrectly referred to as an Allotype under the measurement section in Muller (2019).

A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques
No full textReed-Muller algebraic techniques, as an alternative means in logic design, became more attractive recently, because of their compact representations of logic functions and yielding of easily testable circuits. It is claimed by some researchers that Reed-Muller algebraic techniques are particularly suitable for arithmetic circuits. In fact, no practical application in this field can be found in the open literature.This project investigates existing Reed-Muller algebraic techniques and explores their application in arithmetic circuits. The work described in this thesis is concerned with practical applications in arithmetic circuits, especially for minimizing logic circuits at the transistor level. These results are compared with those obtained using the conventional Boolean algebraic techniques. This work is also related to wider fields, from logic level design to layout level design in CMOS circuits, the current leading technology in VLSI. The emphasis is put on circuit level (transistor level) design. The results show that, although Boolean logic is believed to be a more general tool in logic design, it is not the best tool in all situations. Reed-Muller logic can generate good results which can't be easily obtained by using Boolean logic.F or testing purposes, a gate fault model is often used in the conventional implementation of Reed-Muller logic, which leads to Reed-Muller logic being restricted to using a small gate set. This usually leads to generating more complex circuits. When a cell fault model, which is more suitable for regular and iterative circuits, such as arithmetic circuits, is used instead of the gate fault model in Reed-Muller logic, a wider gate set can be employed to realize Reed-Muller functions. As a result, many circuits designed using Reed-Muller logic can be comparable to that designed using Boolean logic. This conclusion is demonstrated by testing many randomly generated functions.The main aim of this project is to develop arithmetic circuits for practical application. A number of practical arithmetic circuits are reported. The first one is a carry chain adder. Utilising the CMOS circuit characteristics, a simple and high speed carry chain is constructed to perform the carry operation. The proposed carry chain adder can be reconstructed to form a fast carry skip adder, and it is also found to be a good application for residue number adders. An algorithm for an on-line adder and its implementation are also developed. Another circuit is a parallel multiplier based on 5:3 counter. The simulations show that the proposed circuits are better than many previous designs, in terms of the number of transistors and speed. In addition, a 4:2 compressor for a carry free adder is investigated. It is shown that the two main schemes to construct the 4:2 compressor have a unified structure. A variant of the Baugh and Wooley algorithm is also studied and generalized in this work

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Logic synthesis and optimisation using Reed-Muller expansions
No full textThis thesis presents techniques and algorithms which may be employed to represent, generate and optimise particular categories of Exclusive-OR SumOf-Products (ESOP) forms. The work documented herein concentrates on two types of Reed-Muller (RM) expressions, namely, Fixed Polarity Reed-Muller (FPRM) expansions and KROnecker (KRO) expansions (a category of mixed polarity RM expansions). Initially, the theory of switching functions is comprehensively reviewed. This includes descriptions of various types of RM expansion and ESOP forms. The structure of Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) and Reed-Muller Universal Logic Module (RM-ULM) networks are also examined. Heuristic algorithms for deriving optimal (sub-optimal) FPRM expansions of Boolean functions are described. These algorithms are improved forms of an existing tabular technique [1]. Results are presented which illustrate the performance of these new minimisation methods when evaluated against selected existing techniques. An algorithm which may be employed to generate FPRM expansions from incompletely specified Boolean functions is also described. This technique introduces a means of determining the optimum allocation of the Boolean 'don't care' terms so as to derive equivalent minimal FPRM expansions. The tabular technique [1] is extended to allow the representation of KRO expansions. This new method may be employed to generate KRO expansions from either an initial incompletely specified Boolean function or a KRO expansion of different polarity. Additionally, it may be necessary to derive KRO expressions from Boolean Sum-Of-Products (SOP) forms where the product terms are not minterms. A technique is described which forms KRO expansions from disjoint SOP forms without first expanding the SOP expressions to minterm forms. Reed-Muller Binary Decision Diagrams (RMBDDs) are introduced as a graphical means of representing FPRM expansions. RMBDDs are analogous to the BDDs used to represent Boolean functions. Rules are detailed which allow the efficient representation of the initial FPRM expansions and an algorithm is presented which may be employed to determine an optimum (sub-optimum) variable ordering for the RMBDDs. The implementation of RMBDDs as RM-ULM networks is also examined. This thesis is concluded with a review of the algorithms and techniques developed during this research project. The value of these methods are discussed and suggestions are made as to how improved results could have been obtained. Additionally, areas for future work are proposed
