The following short passage from Julius Caesar, Act IV, Scene 3, is spoken by Brutus, when he realizes that he must face Mark Antony s army. It is an information-rich nonrandom arrangement of 125 letters of the English alphabet ... 

Figure 1 Symmetrical and asymmetrical letters of the English alphabet and their mirror images.

The index at the left of the table is in English alphabetical order. Under each spelling as it might conceivably appear in Chemical Abstracts are its possible foreign alphabetical forms and positions. The index may be used to predict the possible alphabetic dislocations of a name of known spelling, but possibly incomplete diacritical marking. 

In those many cases where the modified letter immediately precedes or follows the primitive Roman letter from which it is derived, usually no very serious dislocation with respect to English alphabetical order will result. However, Czech Ch is in position H, where it stands as a derivative of H rather than C. Those who speak English set a trap for foreign searchers by their treatment of the prefix Mac- in its various forms, which is often alphabetized in position M, and in other curious ways. 

Deoxyribonueleie aeid (better known as DNA) is the physieal earrier of inheritanee for 99% of living organisms. The bases in DNA are C, G, A and T. We will learn more about the DNA strueture and fimetion later in the eourse (eliek here for a quiek look [aetually take all the time you want ] )). DNA fimetions in information storage. The English alphabet has 26 letters and over... 

Ultimately, one would like to read the structure and function of a protein from the primary sequence the way one reads a paragraph by deducing the meaning of a linear collections of letters (words). The metaphor is attractive because the number of amino acids (20) is similar to the number of letters in the English alphabet (26). A motif is about the size of a word and a domain the size of a sentence. For example, this paragraph has 543 characters and four sentences and thus has information content similar to that of a 60-kd, four-domain protein. 

You can think of the matter in the universe like the words in a book. If you break all the words in this book apart into their component letters, you will end up with "large piles" of only 26 letters. The English alphabet allows you to constmct thousands of words from just 26 letters. Similarly, all the matter in the universe is constmcted by putting approximately 100 types of atoms together in various ways. The different types of matter are like the different words in a book. When we separate all of the universe into its atoms, we find approximately 100 different atoms. We call these 100 types of atoms the elements of the universe. 

Note that the terms are in English alphabetical order — in the book they are, of course, in French alphabetical order. Please note also that I have translated those terms I could Find not all ancient alchemical terms are obvious I have indicated those I could not translate in red, in the hope that others can help - PV. 

Fingerspelling, a transliteration of English alphabet into hand symbols, can convey everyday words at up to 2 syllables per second, limited by the rate of manual symbol production [Reed et al., 1990]. American Sign Language uses a variety of upper body movements to convey words and concepts rather than just individual letters, at the same effective rate as ordinary speech, 4 to 5 syllables per second. 

Although the materials in our world vary greatly in their properties, everything is formed from only about 100 elements and, therefore, from only about 100 chemically different kinds of atoms. In a sense, the atoms are like the 26 letters of the English alphabet that join in different combinations to form the immense number of words in our language. But what rules govern the ways in which atoms combine How do the properties of a substance relate to the kinds of atoms it contains Indeed, what is an atom like, and what makes the atoms of one element different from those of another ... 

One of the earliest and most common encodings was ASCII (the American Standard Code for Information Interchange), which gave a character value to the first 127 values in an 8-bit byte of memory (the final bit was left unused). Ascii is of course a standard that was developed in the United States, which could only represent the 26 characters of the standard English alphabet. Most of the worlds languages of course require difierent characters and so ascii alone will not suffice to encode these. A series of extensions were developed primarily with use with other European characters, often by making use of the undefined eighth bit in ascii.

Poly(butylene terephthalate) is usually called PBT by analogy with PET, the well known fiber forming thermoplastic polyester. Like PET, PBT Is a linear condensation polymer based on tere-phthallc acid,, but Instead pf the ethylene glycol used in PET, PBT employs 1,4-butanedlol. ] The more definitive name, poly (tetramethylene terephthalate) or PTMT, never did catch on, perhaps an Indication of the power of three letter strings In the English alphabet. 

Exact Numbers Exact numbers have no uncertainty associated with them. Some are part of a unit conversion by definition, there are exactly 60 minutes in 1 hour, 1000 micrograms in 1 milligram, and 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. Other exact numbers result from actually counting items there are exactly 3 coins in my hand, 26 letters in the English alphabet, and so forth. Therefore, unlike a measured quantity, exact numbers do not limit the number of significant figures in a calculation. 

There are 22 standard amino acids. Each protein has its own unique sequence of amino acids. A complex organism has at least several thousand different proteins, each with a special structure and function. There can be so many proteins because, just as the 26 letters of the English alphabet give us thousands of words, 22 amino acids arranged in different ways can create a similar number of proteins. 

ASTM D785 n An American Society for Testing of Materials (ASTM) standard test method for determination of indentation hardness of plastics by a Rockwell tester. The hardness number is derived from the net increase in the depth of impression as the load on a ball indenter is increased from a fixed minor load (10 kg) to a major load and then returned to the minor load. This number consists of the number of scale divisions (each corresponding to 0.002 mm vertical movement of the indentor) and scale symbol. Rockwell scales, designated by a single capital letter of English alphabet, vary depending on the diameter of the indentor and the major load. 

This section lists the letters and numbers of the Greek, Russian, and English alphabets and numbers. They are in tabular form in a standard PDF document. 

The context can also be expanded. Instead of providing the English alphabet as the context, the word list of the Oxford English Dictionary can be used (OED Online, 2012). In the second edition of that dictionary there were 615,100 word forms defined or illustrated. For the purpose of the alphabet context, each letter is encoded as a number corresponding to that character. In this case, a number corresponding to words in the dictionary is chosen. Thus the number of bits required to encode the message using this context can be calculated ... 

Access to the context of the English dictionary allows much better compression than simply the English alphabet as comparing equations 7.4 and 7.9 shows. 

This provides confidence to say this sentence was not generated by randomly choosing letters from the English alphabet. 

The ASCII is a character-encoding scheme based on the ordering of the English alphabet. ASCII codes represent text in computers, communications equipment, and other devices that use text. ASCII includes definitions for 128 characters 33 are nonprinting control characters that affect how text and space is processed, 94 are printable characters, and the space character is considered an invisible graphic. For example, the ASCII code for the letter A is 65 and for the letter a is 97. 

How MANY DIFFERENT SUBSTANCES EXIST Recall from Chapter 2 that about 91 different elements exist in nature, so there are at least 91 different substances. However, the world would be duU— not to mention lifeless— with only 91 different substances. Fortunately, elements combine with each other to form compounds. Just as combinations of only 26 letters in our English alphabet allow for an almost limitless number of words, each with its own specific meaning, combinations of the 91 naturally occurring elements allow for an almost limitless number of compounds, each with its own specific properties. The great diversity of substances that we find in nature is a direct result of the ability of elements to form compounds. Life, for example, could not exist with just 91 different elements. It takes compounds, in all of their diversity, to make life possible.
