Poetry. "Rarely am I so submerged in the details of a poet's mind and world as I am with Marisa Crawford's work. It's bright and glitter roll-on scented, with a pitch-perfect 90s soundtrack. It's nostalgic, dark, surprising yet warmly familiar. I mourn for the girlhood of this book. In REVERSIBLE, Crawford has created an incredibly moving and vivid archive of growing up--part monologue, part lyric, part ethnography--distinct, striking, tender, and enchanting."--Morgan Parker "Marisa Crawford's poems give me a kind of ecstatic pleasure, as all the sensory and social strangeness of 90s youth come flooding back. I will never understand how she can remember all these details and evoke them with such feeling--she must have an off-the-charts EQ, and also an off-the- charts whatever the 'Q' is that measures the ability to remember every outfit you ever wore. 'E' is also for empathy: in Crawford's poems, everything that happens to her friends happens to her. And then I'm in their glow, and everything that happened to Crawford and her friends happens to me. Her poems also know, better than any I've ever read, that fashion is imagery; ditto for friendships and stickers and backyard pools and the things girls do to their bodies in their bedrooms late at night. It doesn't matter that the box of old cassette tapes that you hope will be in your parents' basement might not be findable: all we want to do is go searching alongside her, following her flashlight beam as it lights up the feelings inside the objects we put away or gave away or forgot we ever had."--Becca Klaver "Dear M,

Shows knitters how to use six key techniques to make reversible patterns.

Create completely reversible colorwork afghans and more! Innovative crocheter Laurinda Reddig created a unique and award-winning form of crochet that produces clear images that look exactly the same on both sides. Learn about this new method along with 28 reversible squares suitable for afghans or other items, make one of the 10 projects that use them, or find inspiration to design your own! Laurinda explains the basics of her technique and how to work with multiple colors at the same time. She demonstrates how to create graphic colorwork squares that range from simple geometric angles and shapes to a variety of picture squares including quilt-inspired blocks, flowers, the sun & moon, robots, aliens, and other fun projects for children. Create all 10 afghan projects complete with directions for joining, edging, and any additional stitch patterns used. Open your eyes to a whole new crochet technique--you won't want to miss it!

Master the subjects of reversible computing and DNA computing with this expert volume Reversible and DNA Computing offers readers new ideas and technologies in the rapidly developing field of reversible computing. World-renowned researcher and author Hafiz Md. Hasan Babu shows readers the fundamental concepts and ideas necessary to understand reversible computing, including reversible circuits, reversible fault tolerant circuits, and reversible DNA circuits. Reversible and DNA Computing contains a practical approach to understanding energy-efficient DNA computing. In addition to explaining the foundations of reversible circuits, the book covers topics including: Advanced logic design An introduction to the fundamentals of reversible computing Advanced reversible logic synthesis Reversible fault tolerance Fundamentals of DNA computing Reversible DNA logic synthesis DNA logic design This book is perfect for undergraduate and graduate students in the physical sciences and engineering, as well as those working in the field of quantum computing. It belongs on the bookshelves of anyone with even a passing interest in nanotechnology, energy-efficient computing, and DNA computing.

Collecting scattered knowledge into one coherent account, this book provides a compendium of both classical and recently developed results on reversible computing. It offers an expanded view of the field that includes the traditional energy-motivated hardware viewpoint as well as the emerging application-motivated software approach. It explores up-and-coming theories, techniques, and tools for the application of reversible computing. The topics covered span several areas of computer science, including high-performance computing, parallel/distributed systems, computational theory, compilers, power-aware computing, and supercomputing.

For the first time in book form, this comprehensive and systematic monograph presents methods for the reversible synthesis of logic functions and circuits. It is illustrated with a wealth of examples and figures that describe in detail the systematic methodologies of synthesis using reversible logic.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Reversible Computation, RC 2012, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July 2012. The 19 contributions presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 46 submissions. The papers cover theoretical considerations, reversible software and reversible hardware, and physical realizations and applications in quantum computing.
