About the Book Detective Jack Pirrone still loves his estranged wife, Cynthia, and now that she’s returned to Cape Cod as Medical Examiner, perhaps they could rekindle some of that old passion between them. However, Jack’s personal life must take a back seat to the murders of several young, beautiful women in the area. A Slice of Death follows Jack as he and his team try to identify and stop a serial killer who assaults, mutilates, and dresses up his victims, including applying makeup and posing them to be discovered in the most gruesome way possible, while leaving no forensic evidence. An approaching hurricane, influx of holiday tourists, and pressure from the community and press add to Jack’s struggle, a struggle that intensifies when the killer gets too close to Jack’s loved ones. Will he solve the mystery in time? About the Author Patricia D. Perry is presently residing at Traditions at Christiana, a fifty-five plus Community in Delaware.

A Guide to VHDL is intended for the working engineer who needs to develop, document, simulate and synthesize a design using the VHDL language. It is for system and chip designers who are working with VHDL CAD tools, and who have some experience programming in Fortran, Pascal, or C and have used a logic simulator. A Guide to VHDL includes a number of paper exercises and computer lab experiments. If a compiler/simulator is available to the reader, then the lab exercises invluded in the chapters can be run to reinforce the learning experience. For practical purposes, this book keeps simulator-specific text to a minimum, but does use the Synopsys VHDL Simulator command language in a few cases. A Guide to VHDL can be used as a primer, since its contents are appropriate for an introductory course in VHDL.
