THE DISQUISITIONS
An analytical and experimental study was undertaken to assess how
theoretical and experimental code and performance metrics might
assist the choice of published Complete Gamma Function ( CGF ) solution algorithms,
or inform the development of new CGF methods.
Accuracy, speed and component timing statistics were computed for thirteen methods
or method variations, and new empirical metrics proposed.
Empirical metrics and component time profiles disclosed significant algorithm properties
and assisted coding optimisations. Halstead metrics did not apply, but code token ratios
correlated with other CGF algorithm features.
Further research could involve recently discovered
Elliptic, Laplacian or Zeta Function avenues.
A book-length draft publication of 2.42 megabytes.

| NAME OF DISQUISITION: | Beyond Tourist Britain |

| LENGTH: | 413 A4 Pages at Times New Roman |
| ILLUSTRATIONS: | 139 color photographs and 1 monochrome engraving |
| FILENAME: | btb-compressed.pdf |
| FILESIZE: | 12.9MB |
| DESCRIPTION: |
Some of the less well-known features of Britain ( and a statue in Ireland )
are illustrated and described with reference to their historical context,
especially their technological, industrial and social settings.
All of the photographs were taken by the author, and date from around
the year 2005.
Accordingly, several photographs are out-of-date,
due to demolitions or other alterations.
A book-length draft publication of nearly thirteen megabytes.
