Memory Encoding. We chose to encode the memory at 32-bit granularity because we assume that most programs mainly operate on 32-bit values. This means every 32-bit word in memory is stored as an encoded 64-bit word. Thus,... 

The only ingredient in the proof of Life s universality that we have not yet discussed is memory storage. While a finite memory is fairly easy to implement with wires and logic gates - for example, glider-stream-encoded information can be made to circulate around a memory circuit contained within the computer - the construction of an arbitrarily large memory requires a bit more work,... 

We now need to define the. set of symmetric weights, Wij wji. Given that we want our net to act as a content-associative memory, this set of weights must satisfy two conditions (1) if the net is presented with a pattern in the stored set, that set of encoded neuronal values representing that stored pattern should remain unclianged - i.e. stored patterns must be stable (2) if the net is presented with a pattern not in the stored set, the net should evolve according to equation 10.7 to the pattern that is closest to it. 

These principles of macromolecular organization replaced the naive vision of some of the early molecular biologists, who tried to reduce each complex structure and function of organisms directly to one (or a limited number of) proteins or other macromolecules. The best example of this simplistic reductionist approach was the efforts aiming in the sixties at discovering the molecules of memory - molecules that allegedly encoded the memories or behaviors. Many articles and books1 were devoted to this search, without any success. 

For example, C++ works with an OO model in main memory but leaves persistent data up to you you can t send a message to an object in filestore. If you can secure a good OO database you re in luck but otherwise, typically you re stuck with plain old files or a relational database and must to think how to encode the objects. Your class-layer design should initially defer the question of how objects are distributed between hosts and media. 

The process is as follows a piece of DNA, which encodes a gene for a surface protein of the virus, is incorporated into a plasmid. From a suitable vector, DNA is taken up by host cells and incorporated into their DNA. A large amount of viral protein is produced within the host cell, hydrolysed and the resultant peptide complexed with MHC class I molecules presented on the cell surface. This is then seen and responded to by the Th cells which proliferate and form memory cells that will result rapidly in the death of host cells infected by the virus in subsequent infections. DNA vaccines are safer than live-virus vaccines and, furthermore, several genes that produce different viral antigens can be constracted on the same piece of DNA.
