the experiment, ifthat were possible.Permutation methods permute units between two or more samples. For example,consider sample A with nA units and sample B with nB units. Permutationcombines the two samples and randomly assigns the units into new pseudo A andpseudo B samples. These pseudo A and B samples have exactly the samestatistical properties, including identical means. These pseudo samples mimic anull hypothesis situation in which the populations have identical means.Variation of any statistic that measures the distance between means (such as a tstatistic) over repeated permutation should mimic variation of the statistic appliedto the original populations

follows: 1. Convert the new bridge B to its canonical variant C(B). 2. Compute H(C(B)), the hash string for the canonical variant. 3. Search the database for all bridges Mi with stored hash string equal to H(C(B)). 4. If no such bridge is found, go to 6. 5. Otherwise convert each bridge Mi to its canonical variant C(Mi) and check whether C(B) = C(Mi) for any i. If so, a duplicate has been found, otherwise continue. 6. There is no duplicate. Store the pair B and H(C(B)) in the database.Since a standard database engine can look up a hash string very rapidly, and canonical variantsand hash strings are also quick to compute, this algorithm successfully met the performancerequirement.A second challenge was determining the unofficial
RAM, 8 analog inputs, 4 PWM outputs,and up to four 8-bit ports for general I/O. It is easily interfaced to a serial port, however to addUSB connectivity an FTDI USB-Serial bridge8 was used. Under Windows and Linux this ICappears as a serial port. The processor (thumb) board includes a power LED and four LEDs onport B for simple diagnostics. A reset switch is used to restart the processor. The design of theboard allows it to be directly inserted into a USB port, eliminating the need for any extra cables.The board was also configured with two diodes to allow it to draw power from the USB port (5V,0.5A) or from an external power source. In this case there was a voltage drop, but the ATMega32works with a supply voltage under 4V. The board uses a
