  Digital Gods, Digital Religions: The Future Shape of Religious Structures
But it is also likely that digital beings will evolve to mediate new forms of spirituality and religious experience for those who are being programmed or "back-engineered" by their interaction with computer networks to experience themselves and things external to themselves in new perceptual forms.
As digital humanity hungers for wholeness and meaning, redemption, deliverance and healing, in short, for spiritual transformation, digital constructs will evolve to mediate those possibilities in new ways, including and transcending all that has gone before.
That spiral is generating a community life mediated by digital symbols which will include constructs fusing the attributes of avatars, smart agents, java applets, and other emergent digital realities in the distributed computer network of the world.

 DL94: Defining and Using Structure in Digital Documents
Understanding the structures required for a particular digital library requires an understanding of the scope of objects to be stored in the library, of the classes of clients to be served, and of the needs of each of the client groups.
Two examples of structural operations that we have examined in the past are the searching for hypertext components based on their structural characteristics, perhaps in conjunction with their contextual components [21], and the transformation of document instance structures to match changes in the grammatical specification of their relationships [1,3,4,8,17,29].
An open research question is the development of structure definition mechanisms that permit the verification of the dynamic properties of the specification, perhaps to allow authors to identify "bugs" in their documents.

 Gehry Technologies | Structures
By performing structural design directly in a 3D context, building engineers can achieve improved quality control of their work, allowing interference checking and coordination work to be performed on structural steel models and in coordination with other system specifications.
The resulting 3D structural steel specification may be used as a basis for extraction of accurate two-dimensional drawings, and serve as the basis for import or export to 3rd party finite element solvers and steel detailing applications.
Digital Project structures models may be parametrically defined relative to structural grids or defined relative to other project geometry, allowing associative updating of structural data with changes to the overall project scheme and reducing rework required during project revisions.

 Digital Integrated Circuit Design, Best Practical Digital Design
Digital circuits can be classified as comprising two distinct functional structures, dataflow and control.
This circuit details a pipelined structure in which data from a first storage level is processed by combinational logic for subsequent transmission to a second storage level.
Digital designers often utilise logic components such as inverters and buffers to achieve some required delay and assume that this can be done on ASICs.

 Digital Libraries
Digital libraries are organizations that provide the resources, including the specialized staff, to select, structure, offer intellectual access to, interpret, distribute, preserve the integrity of, and ensure the persistence over time of collections of digital works so that they are readily and economically available for use by a defined community or set of communities.
Digital library contributors will need to collaborate in their efforts to digitize resources if they are to be successful and distinguish themselves from digitization projects which have stood alone inside individual institutions or organizations.
In short, a successful collaborative digital library effort needs champions who are willing and eager to promote their cause in the face of great promise along with serious pitfalls.

 CSD Magazine - July, 1998 - Interpolation, Resampling, and Structures for Digital Receivers
For high-rate digital receivers designed in the 1980s and early 1990s, it was often desirable to move all the signal processing to the digital domain for manufacturing and performance reasons.
For example, for digital receivers sampling at 4 samples/ symbol, these structures would increase the sampling rate so that the timing resolution was sufficiently small and then decrease the sampling rate back down to a level suitable for filtering with a matched filter.
This structure is suitable for cases where the sampling rate is close to an integer multiple of the symbol rate (Figure 6a), in which case the interpolator is equivalent to a fractional delay filter.

 Teaching Digital Systems in the South African Context
This paper describes the structure of digital and computer system curricula at a university in South Africa and shows how programmable logic is successfully applied in an environment where ASIC designs are not yet feasible.
Digital and computer systems have come a long way during the past three decades at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of Stellenbosch University.
This is their first exposure to programmable logic and is purposefully left to the end of the course so that the students realize the advantages of programmable logic, having struggled with breadboards and wiring together gates in the first part of the course.

 Digital Filters as Physical Models
For example, robust, rapidly time-varying, nearly lossless digital filters (such as needed, e.g., for a guitar string simulation) can be developed more easily using a physical approach, and conditions for the absence of unnatural artifacts become more clear.
digital waveguide models have been used for distributed media, such as vibrating strings, bores, horns, plates, solids, acoustic spaces, and the like [,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,].
Vaidyanathan and Mitra [] developed a class of digital filters containing both the WDFs and the Gray-Markel normalized ladder structures [], and proved low passband sensitivity to coefficient quantization and the absence of limit cycles, even under time-varying conditions.

 Professor P. P. Vaidyanathan
This includes multirate digital signal processing (which has many applications including speech and image compression), fast techniques for adaptive filtering, recursive estimation and extrapolation, signal compression, and robust digital filtering structures.
New theoretical frameworks and lattice structures have been developed for this purpose based on the concept of losslessness in digital systems.
Several structures and results have been developed in this group for the design of such numerically robust digital filter structures based on losslessness and passivity.

 About Digital Filter Structures and Quantization Error Analysis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Practical implementations of digital filters introduce errors due to finite-precision data and arithmetic.
Approximating the errors as additive noise provides fairly accurate estimates of the resulting quantization noise levels, which can be used both to predict the performance of a chosen implementation and to determine the precision needed to meet design requirements.

 Digital Kiselkonstruktion SMD099   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
This course (SMD099) is given every other year (not to be given 98/99) and deals with "full custom" design of small to large digital circuits directly onto a totally blank silicon surface.
This is low-level "VLSI" in which the tools permit the designer to take his computation structure (SMD098 is prerequisite to this course) and translate that topological structure into geometrical structures.
The focus of this course is to overview the silicon-level mask layer and transistor-level design issues, then to implement a wide range of gates and other logic structures to the point where the student can link high-level design with the underlying hardware structure on silicon.

 Essay: Understanding Data Structures: algorithms and labyrinths as data constraints and data paths representations ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
What a dream has to do with digital data structures may rightfully appear less than obvious to you, yet you're to find many persons who believe that the other way round would be quite obvious.
This is a somewhat powerful consideration: conceiving a data structure as an algorithmic constraint declaring the only way the structure can be traversed, we imply that from the mere assignment of one field we can guess all the rest whenever it may be needed.
As such, all data isn't but raw data randomly heaped: data nodes are scattered in sort of an empty vacuum where they are of no real meaning unless an algorithm which connects them provides them with a meaning which is thoroughly and exclusively and truly given by the reciprocal connections charged upon them.

I have been a fan of JAIA for the past 9 years and I must say that judging by his new album Fiction, recently released by the legendary Digital Structures records known for their outstanding quality and production level, I'll keep following Jaia till the day he stops producing music, hopefully for years to come.
This magnetic talent has shattered with fiction all of the expectations that have been building inside of me for the past few years and just got me hooked after just the first round of listening.
The selection is highly varies and rich, fat, juicy and arising, very structured and well thought of, a definite journey through different global urbane sceneries, capturing the richness this planet has to offer.

After a series of successful releases on major labels like Hadshot, TIP World, Dragonfly etc. the debut album of Ticon is finally out on Digital Structures.
When I got the cd (which has a very nice design by the way) I understood what everyone means, saying that guys from Digital Structures release the best tracks of their artists, and the Ticon guys themselves, Fredrik and Filip said that these are their best tracks so far.
Every sound is in its place, wonderful percussion work, groove… Yes this is Ticon style, so well known and acclaimed, but the tracks on the album are diverse and track 5 — the Cozy Cactus is the Ticon I never heard before.
