primarysources date February 2008 The Central Interstate Low Level Radioactive Waste Compact is made up of the states of Louisiana , Arkansas , Oklahoma , and Kansas . The compact was established by the Compact Law and the Low Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments of the 1985. The Central Interstate Low Level Radioactive Waste Compact and US Ecology purchased land 2 miles west of Butte, Nebraska in the early 1990s with the intention of placing a dump site there. As can be seen in Nuclear Nebraska Nuclear Nebraska The Remarkable Story of the Little County That Couldn t Be Bought written by Susan Cragin, there was extensive controversy and the dump site was eventually removed from consideration. Citizens and factions throughout Boyd County, Nebraska Boyd County , where Butte is located, fought for over 15 years over the placement of a disposal site in this area. Former Governors Kay Orr and Ben Nelson were heavily involved on different sides of the issue, and Governor Orr s support for the dump may have cost her re election. Nebraska was officially removed from the compact after a series of long court battles that ended in 2004. The state of Nebraska had to pay a settlement and there have been attempts made to sell the compact s land just outside of Butte. ref www.cillrwcc.org ref References Reflist Category Radioactive waste ... more details

for Randall Hyde s language HighLevel Assembly Highlevel assemblers are assembly language translators that incorporate features found in modern highlevel programming language s into an Assembly language Assembler assembler . Some highlevel assemblers are Borland s Turbo Assembler TASM , Microsoft s Microsoft Macro Assembler MASM , IBM s HLASM for z Architecture systems , Alessandro Ghignola s Linoleum programming language Linoleum , Jim Niel s http terse.com Terse , and Randall Hyde s HighLevel Assembly HLA . Highlevel assemblers typically provide all the usual low level machine code machine instructions , plus statements like IF, WHILE, REPEAT...UNTIL, and FOR, in their base language. This allows assembly programmers to use highlevel control statement abstractions wherever maximal speed or minimal space is not absolutely required and drop down to low level machine code when fast or short code is desirable. The end result is assembly source code that is far more readable than standard assembly code while preserving the efficiency inherent with using assembly language. Highlevel assemblers generally provide information hiding facilities though their capabilities vary by assembler and the ability to call functions and procedures using a highlevel like syntax i.e., the assembler automatically emits code to push parameters on the stack rather than the programmer having to manually write the code to do this . In addition to highlevel control structures, highlevel assemblers also provide data abstractions normally found in highlevel languages. Examples include data structure ... science set s. Some highlevel assemblers e.g., TASM and HLA even support object oriented programming . David Salomon s book Assemblers and Loaders presents definitions and examples of older highlevel assemblers.

for a discussion of highlevel assemblers in general Highlevel assembler HLASM is IBM s highlevel assembler product for its z OS , z VSE , z VM and z TPF operating system s, which run on its z Architecture mainframe computer mainframe computers . There is also a version that runs on Linux , primarily intended for systems running on a z Architecture system this environment is sometimes referred to as z Linux . Based on IBM s H assembly language Assembler assembler , it allows assembly programmers to write code that uses some features normally associated with highlevel languages. Some of these features include labeled and dependent USINGs, more complete cross reference information, and additional macro language capabilities such as the ability to write user defined functions.

It is located in a residential neighbourhood near the intersection of Avenue Road Toronto Avenue Road and Dupont Street. The current building was erected in 1906, and expanded in 1910. It was designated a heritage site by the city in 1985. It was built on the site of the Yorkville Waterworks, which had been established in 1875 to provide the then separate town of Yorkville, Ontario with drinking water. It is one of 22 pumping stations in Toronto that move water from Lake Ontario to the higher elevation northern parts of the city. The HighLevel Pumping Station is one of the hubs of the system, with 10 pumps. While previously all these stations were manned, today it is only the HighLevel station which has permanent workers. Municipal employees from the site monitor the city s water supply twenty four hours per day. There is a back up to the control room at the John Street Pumping Station , which is the highest capacity station in the system.

No footnotes date January 2011 File Diagram android.png thumb Sample architecture diagram for the Android operating system A high level design provides an overview of a solution, platform, system, product, service, or process. Such an overview is important in a multi project development to make sure that each supporting component design will be compatible with its neighbouring designs and with the big picture. The highest level solution design should briefly describe all platforms, systems, products, services and processes that it depends upon and include any important changes that need to be made to them. A high level design document will usually include a high level architecture diagram depicting the components, interfaces and networks that need to be further specified or developed. The document may also depict or otherwise refer to work flows and or data flows between component systems. In addition, there should be brief consideration of all significant commercial, legal, environmental, security, safety and technical risks, issues and assumptions. The idea is to mention every work area briefly, clearly delegating the ownership of more detailed design activity whilst also encouraging effective collaboration between the various project teams. Today, most high level designs require contributions from a number of experts, representing many distinct professional disciplines. Finally, every type of end user should be identified in the high level design and each contributing design should give due consideration to customer experience.

The bridge was opened in 1956 as one of the last links in the replacement of the old alignment of Pennsylvania Route 71 with a new four lane freeway between Washington, Pennsylvania Washington and the Pennsylvania Turnpike . During the same year of the bridge s completion, it was announced that the highway would become part of Interstate 70 it took on this designation in 1964 after the completion of freeway stretches in neighboring West Virginia linked PA 71 to a similar freeway in Ohio . Part of a busy truck route, the bridge is part of a highway that has been plagued by surface problems. In 1989, a crack in the superstructure, the result of a 35 year old construction error, forced the closure of the bridge for five days, stranding truckers. The bridge was rehabilitated in 2000.

unreferenced date November 2009 Highlevel emulation HLE is an approach for construction of emulator s, especially for video game console s, which attempts to simulate the response of the system rather than accurately recreating its internal design. Instead of trying to accurately create or recreate the hardware gate by gate, in HLE a software platform is created on which the emulated code can be run in a host computer having different hardware and a different instruction set. The effort focuses on recreating the appropriate functionality provided by the system emulated. Thus, the emphasis is shifted from the most efficient method of processing data to getting the same or comparable results as if the native platform was used. By contrast, the traditional way of emulating is termed Low level emulation , or LLE which is used to develop new computer hardware and execute legacy binary code. The term HLE originates from UltraHLE , the first emulator for the Nintendo 64 console that ran commercial games. Initial discussion about HLE occurred to give context for the reasons behind some video game s not functioning properly with the emulator. The earliest 1962 highlevel emulator was called a Emulator Functional simulators functional simulator for executing military flight programs written in symbolic assembly language code, without generating binary code. Criteria for HighLevel Emulation In order for HLE approach to work, the platform in question must meet certain criteria. Namely, there must exist a higher abstraction level than the raw binary machine code to be executed, realised directly in the computer hardware hardware , or by the operating system . In any case, it must exist ... of sufficiently highlevel mechanisms in the emulated platforms. If there is no such mechanism ...

update date November 2010 The HighLevel Shader Language or HighLevel Shading Language HLSL is a proprietary shading language developed by Microsoft for use with the Microsoft Direct3D API. It is analogous to the GLSL shading language used with the OpenGL standard. It is the same as the Nvidia Cg programming language Cg shading language, as it was developed alongside it. ref http www.fusionindustries.com default.asp?page cg hlsl faq Fusion Industries Cg and HLSL FAQ Bot generated title ref HLSL programs come in three forms, vertex shaders , geometry shaders, and pixel or fragment shaders. A vertex shader is executed for each vertex that is submitted by the application, and is primarily responsible for transforming the vertex from object space to view space, generating texture coordinates, and calculating lighting coefficients such as the vertex s tangent, binormal and normal vectors. When a group of vertices normally 3, to form a triangle come through the vertex shader, their output position is interpolated to form pixels within its area this process is known as rasterisation . Each of these pixels comes through the pixel shader, whereby the resultant screen colour is calculated. Optionally, an application using a Direct3D 10 interface and Direct3D 10 hardware may also specify a geometry shader. This shader takes as its input the three vertices of a triangle and uses this data to generate or Tessellation Tessellations and computer graphics tessellate additional triangles, which are each then sent to the rasterizer.
