Alewife Cambridge, and Somerville to the Mystic River. The brook gives its name to the Alewife Brook Parkway and the Alewife Brook Reservation. The Red Line (MBTA) of Boston's T ends at the Alewife station, so the name of this fish adorns the front of every northbound Red Line train. In the Southeast US, when sold and used as bait, the fish is often referred to as "LY". Both anadromous and landlocked forms occur. The landlocked form is also called a sawbelly or mooneye (although this latter name is more commonly applied to "Hiodon" spp.). Adult alewives are caught during their
Block sort Block sort Block sort, or block merge sort, is a sorting algorithm combining at least two merge operations with an insertion sort to arrive at in-place stable sorting. It gets its name from the observation that merging two sorted lists, and , is equivalent to breaking into evenly sized "blocks", inserting each block into under special rules, and merging pairs. One practical algorithm for O(log n) in place merging was proposed by Pok-Son Kim and Arne Kutzner in 2008. The outer loop of block sort is identical to a bottom-up merge sort, where each "level" of the sort merges pairs
