  2. Overflow (oceanography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overflow_(oceanography)

    In oceanography, an overflow is a type of deep-water circulation in which denser water flows into an adjacent basin beneath lighter water. This process is significant in thermohaline circulation , contributing to the global ocean's deep water mass formation. [ 1 ]

  3. Two's complement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two's_complement

    Two's complement is the most common method of representing signed (positive, negative, and zero) integers on computers, [1] and more generally, fixed point binary values. Two's complement uses the binary digit with the greatest value as the sign to indicate whether the binary number is positive or negative; when the most significant bit is 1 the number is signed as negative and when the most ...

  4. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

    Addition of a pair of two's-complement integers is the same as addition of a pair of unsigned numbers (except for detection of overflow, if that is done); the same is true for subtraction and even for N lowest significant bits of a product (value of multiplication). For instance, a two's-complement addition of 127 and −128 gives the same ...

  5. Method of complements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements

    The nines' complement plus one is known as the tens' complement. The method of complements can be extended to other number bases ; in particular, it is used on most digital computers to perform subtraction, represent negative numbers in base 2 or binary arithmetic and test overflow in calculation. [1]

  6. Marine biogeochemical cycles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_biogeochemical_cycles

    Water is the medium of the oceans, the medium which carries all the substances and elements involved in the marine biogeochemical cycles. Water as found in nature almost always includes dissolved substances, so water has been described as the "universal solvent" for its ability to dissolve so many substances.

  7. Saturation arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_arithmetic

    For example, adjusting the volume level of a sound signal can result in overflow, and saturation causes significantly less distortion to the sound than wrap-around. In the words of researchers G. A. Constantinides et al.: [1] When adding two numbers using two's complement representation, overflow results in a "wrap-around" phenomenon.

  8. Booth's multiplication algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booth's_multiplication...

    Ignore any overflow. If they are 10, find the value of P + S. Ignore any overflow. If they are 00, do nothing. Use P directly in the next step. If they are 11, do nothing. Use P directly in the next step. Arithmetically shift the value obtained in the 2nd step by a single place to the right. Let P now equal this new value.

  9. Marine protists - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_protists

    The ocean represents the largest continuous planetary ecosystem, hosting an enormous variety of organisms, which include microscopic biota such as unicellular eukaryotes (protists). Despite their small size, protists play key roles in marine biogeochemical cycles and harbour tremendous evolutionary diversity.
