Our [mainframe computer] was installed with the maximum amount of solid-state RAM [random access memory] that could be addressed by the IOM [input/output module] and CPM [central processor module], and that was a massive 8 megabytes. This was a hard limitation as memory addresses were included in fixed length bit fields in the instructions and this limitation was architected into the machine design.

The Tomahawk was Piper's attempt at creating an affordable two-place trainer. Before designing the aircraft, Piper widely surveyed flight instructors for their input into the design. Instructors requested a more spinnable aircraft for training purposes, since other two-place trainers such as the Cessna 150 or Cessna 152 were designed to spontaneously fly out of a spin.

On-farm experimentation is often described in terms of the amount of researcher and farmer involvement in the design and management of the trial. In many on-farm livestock experiments the farmer manages the trial, and we assume this here. The extent of the farmer's input to the design of the study and the types of measurements depend on the objectives of the study. Below we illustrate the range of on-farm livestock research.

  • Artificial Intelligence

CONT

As an intelligent programming tutor, BIP is incomplete. The only form of advice it can give the student consists of hints stored with the different tasks, since it has no knowledge of design, coding or debugging. Furthermore, its feedback to the student is limited by its inability to diagnose logical errors. When a program has been completed, BIP simply tests it on a set of input/output pairs without any analysis of the algorithm, as do systems presented in Chapter 11. After a syntactic match on keywords has revealed the use or absence of certain constructs designated as necessary or forbidden for the task, the student is merely informed about language constructs that should or shouldn’t have been used.
