The Jesuit Joachim Bouvet established an analogy between the binary arithmetic developed by Leibniz and the diagram Fuxi liushisi gua fangwei (or FX64), attributed to Shao Yong, which organizes the sixty-four hexagrams according to the Fuxi/Xiantian order. Consequently, this diagram could be considered as binary. Some scholars argue that the diagram is not binary because of the different construction of the two systems and the “wrong” reading direction used by Bouvet and Leibniz—opposite to the one used in China. Nevertheless, by a superimposition of Leibniz’s binary table and of the derivation table used to construct the diagram, this article shows that the diagram is binary, since it is constituted of two elements and the binary system can use other symbols than 0 and 1. The reverse methodology used in constructing the two systems because of their different purpose—division for the FX64 diagram and multiplication for Leibniz’s dyad—allows their reading from either one direction or the reverse. This does not affect the fact that they are both binary, since it leads to the same form and structure.

In Google v. Equustek, the Supreme Court of Canada ordered Google to delist all websites used by Datalink, a company that stole trade secrets from Equustek, a Canada-based information technology company. Google had agreed to do so in part, but with respect to searches that originated from google.ca only, the default browser for those in Canada. Equustek however, argued the takedowns needed to be global in order to be effective. It thus sought an injunction ordering Google to delist the allegedly infringing websites from all of Google's search engines—whether accessed from google.ca, google.com, or any other entry point. Google objected. The Canadian Supreme Court, along with the two lower Canadian courts that considered the issue, sided with Equustek (para. 54). The ruling sets up a potential showdown between Canadian and U.S. law and raises critically important questions about the appropriate geographic and substantive scope of takedown orders, the future of free speech online, and the role of intermediaries such as Google in preventing economic and other harms.

Zhou Fengwu, renowned scholar and Taiwan's foremost paleographer, passed away at the age of sixty-nine.

This paper highlights the role that the World Wide Web (WWW) has to play as an aid to psychiatry. A basic history of the WWW is provided as is an introduction to some search techniques involved with the WWW. The literature on applications potentially relevant to psychiatry is reviewed using computer search facilities (BIDS, PsychLit and Medline). The WWW is one of the aspects of the Internet that possesses a huge potential for exploitation, both the clinical and research psychiatrist are able to benefit from its use.

HK Lac was observed at Konkoly Observatory between 1976-1981, the details of its story have been described in a previous paper (Olah, 1979).

The aim of this investigation is to give a possible description of the strong variations in the light curve of the star.

Searching for a more accurate period, it became obvious that the same period was not applicable to all the data. Therefore, a new period was derived for each different cycle by the Lafler-Kinman method. Unfortunately, due to the small number of data in the data sets these newly derived periods have an error of about 0.1 day.

Fourier coefficients are a valuable tool in the study of a wide variety of pulsating stars. They can be used to derive various physical parameters, including mass, luminosity, metallicity and effective temperature and are frequently used to discriminate between different pulsation modes. With the increase in large-scale surveys and the availability of data on the Internet, the number of Fourier coefficients available for study has expanded greatly and it is difficult to find all current data for individual stars or a subset of stars. To assist others in obtaining and making use of Fourier coefficients, an archive of published values of Fourier coefficients has been set up. Users can search for data on individual stars or for a range of parameters. Several Java programs are used to display the data in a variety of ways. The archive is located at the Web site http://www.earth.uni.edu/fourier/.
