Primal

The primal advantage of hierarchical databases is that the relationship between the data at the different levels is easy. The simplicity and efficiency of the data model is a great advantage of the hierarchical DBS. Large data sets (scries of measurements where the data values are dependent on different parameters such as boiling point, temperature, or pressure) could be implemented with an acceptable response time. 

Determination of the content of organochlorine insecticides in the drinking water is primal for establishing the level of contamination of the water ecosystem and for human health protection. 

There is no unitpie articulable law or set of laws that any observer contained in the universe Q can const.ruct even in principle that describes it exactly. It therefore behooves us to develop a primal physics P that is maximally relativistic not in a gcnerically Einsteinian sense, but in an informational sense. That is, to develop a physics in which the meaning of any object or process exists only relative to something (ideally, everything) else. 

Linear Programming.28—A linear programming problem as defined in matrix notation requires that a vector x 0 (non-negativity constraints) be found that satisfies the constraints Ax <, b, and maximizes the linear function cx. Here x = (xx, , xn), A = [aiy] (i = 1,- -,m j = 1,- , ), b - (61 - -,bm), and c = (cu- -,c ) is the cost vector. With the original (the primal) problem is associated the dual problem yA > c, y > 0, bij = minimum, where y yx,- , ym)-A duality theorem 29 asserts that if either the primal or the dual has a solution then the values of the objective functions of both problems at the optimum are the same. It is a relatively easy matter to obtain the solution vector of one problem from that of the other. 

Passivation phenomena on the whole are highly multifarious and complex. One must distinguish between the primal onset of the passive state and the secondary phenomena that arise when passivation has already occurred (i.e., as a result of passivation). It has been demonstrated for many systems by now that passivation is caused by adsorbed layers, and that the phase layers are formed when passivation has already been initiated. In other cases, passivation may be produced by the formation of thin phase layers on the electrode surface. Relatively thick porous layers can form both before and after the start of passivation. Their effects, as a rule, amount to an increase in true current density and to higher concentration gradients in the solution layer next to the electrode. Therefore, they do not themselves passivate the electrode but are conducive to the onset of a passive state having different origins. 

The advantage of this approach stems from the fact that the minimization over x can be carried out analytically. Consequently, the dimensionality of the optimization problem is reduced from P, the number of pipe sections to S, the number of paths. Murtagh (M9) reported computer storage reduction of more than 50% and computing time reduction of up to 80% using the dual instead of primal formulation. 

This formulation contains P primal variables and 2P to (S + 1 )P — (S — 1)5 terms. Cheng and Mah (C8) evaluated this method and found both computing time and storage requirements to be quite excessive. A 14-oranch and 5-path problem, for instance, took 11.9 CPU seconds and occupied 9728 words of storage on a CDC 6400 computer.

The two plants that seem to be the best bet for ridding one s home of such chemicals are ferns and palms. These plants release moisture as part of photosynthesis and, as they do, pull chemicals from the air into their leaves. Even NASA has conducted some greenhouse experiments for long-term space exploration. Within hours, their plants [palms] had removed almost all traces of formaldehyde in the room. Both species of plants are ancient, dating back more than a hundred million years. Another trait they share is that they both live long lives, 100 years or more. This we expect from trees, but ferns and palms are plants plants that can grow to 65 feet in the proper setting Even their individual leaves live for one to two years [ferns] and one to nine years [palms]. Perhaps it is their primal qualities that have contributed to their ability to purify their environment. 

But what of the nature of the First Matter itself Jung says The basis of the opus, the prima materia, is one of the most famous secrets of alchemy. This is hardly surprising since it represents the unknown substance that carries the projection of the autonomous psychic content. 7 It is, as we stated before, omnipresent and the root substance of all forms. Oriental texts term it Akasha the alchemical texts of the Occident give it many names. Taoism, the alchemical practice of China, has the primal intuition that the universe must have some unborn origin (prima materia). This is given verbal form in the Tao Teh Ching, XXV ...
