Also to know the hour of the day by it: the height of the sun, moon, or stars: and to know the time of sun-rising and setting; and the length of every day in the year: the place of the sun in the ecliptick: the azimuth, right ascension, and declination of the sun. With many other necessary and delightful conclusions. Performed very readily. As also the use of a nocturnal: whereby you may learn to know the stars in heaven, and the hour of the night, by them. With many other delightful operations. The third edition, wherein the mistakes in the former impressions are corrected. By W.P[London] The quadrants, nocturnals, and this book, are to be sold by Joseph Moxon, at his shop on Ludgate hill near Fleet-bridge, at the sign of Atlas in London1665[2], 45, [1] p. ill.

The 27 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 142 submissions; 16 brief announcements are also included. The papers are organized in topical sections named: graph distributed algorithms; topology, leader election, and spanning trees; software transactional memory; shared memory executions; shared memory and storage; gossip and rumor; shared memory tasks and data structures; routing; radio networks and the SINR model; crypto, trust, and influence; and networking.Theoretical Computer Science and General Issues,2512-2029 ;8205AlgorithmsComputer networksData structures (Computer science)Information theoryAlgorithmsComputer Communication NetworksData Structures and Information TheoryAlgorithms.Computer networks.Data structures (Computer science).Information theory.Algorithms.Computer Communication Networks.Data Structures and Information Theory.004.36Afek Yehudaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910485041303321Distributed computing104445UNINA
