Widening Integer Arithmetic
(2004)Some codes require computations to use fewer bits of precision than are normal for the target machine. For example, Java requires 32-bit arithmetic even on a 64-bit target. To run narrow codes on a wide target machine, we ... -
A Wider Pelvis Does Not Increase Locomotor Cost in Humans, with Implications for the Evolution of Childbirth
(Public Library of Science, 2015)The shape of the human female pelvis is thought to reflect an evolutionary trade-off between two competing demands: a pelvis wide enough to permit the birth of large-brained infants, and narrow enough for efficient bipedal ...
