Then, logically, they should avoid synchronizing their cycles. By the same token, if males during the course of human evolution became valued by females for additional purposes – hunting and bringing home food, for example – then females should resist being controlled by dominant male harem-holders. If males are useful...

Under those circumstances, according to this argument, the logical strategy would be for females to synchronize as tightly as they can (see figure b, right).One implication is that there may be a link between the degree of synchrony in a population (whether seasonal, lunar or both), and the degree of reproductive egali...

On the other hand, while conceding that it would be impossible to get clockwork synchrony throughout an inter-birth interval, Power et al. argued that once we take account of birth seasonality – enhancing the effects of menstrual synchrony by clumping fertile cycles within a relatively brief time-window – it emerges th...

It is suggested that the human female may once have had adaptive reasons for evolving such a cycle length – implying some theoretical potential for synchrony to a lunar clock – but did so in an African setting under prehistoric conditions which today no longer exist.

In order to work properly, a video card or graphics adapter must set a mode—a combination of screen resolution, color depth and refresh rate—that is within the range of values supported by itself and the attached display screen. This operation is called mode-setting, and it usually requires raw access to the graphics h...

c_5xxo4nbj0t0z
In early days, the user space programs that wanted to use the graphical framebuffer were also responsible for providing the mode-setting operations, and therefore they needed to run with privileged access to the video hardware. In Unix-type operating systems, the X Server was the most prominent example, and its mode-se...

It not only breaks the isolation that operating systems should provide between programs and hardware, raising both stability and security concerns, but also could leave the graphics hardware in an inconsistent state if two or more user space programs try to do the mode-setting at the same time. To avoid these conflicts...

The XFree86-VidModeExtension extension was introduced in XFree86 3.1.2 to let any X client request modeline (resolution) changes to the X Server. VidMode extension was later superseded by the more generic XRandR extension. However, this was not the only code doing mode-setting in a Linux system.

During the system booting process, the Linux kernel must set a minimal text mode for the virtual console (based on the standard modes defined by VESA BIOS extensions). Also the Linux kernel framebuffer driver contained mode-setting code to configure framebuffer devices. To avoid mode-setting conflicts, the XFree86 Serv...

One single failure or crash of one of these programs could leave the system without a working display due to a modeset misconfiguration, and therefore unusable. It was also impossible for the kernel to show error or debug messages when the screen was in a graphics mode—for example when X was running—since the only mode...

Then, every process—including the X Server—should be able to command the kernel to perform mode-setting operations, and the kernel would ensure that concurrent operations don't result in an inconsistent state. The new kernel API and code added to the DRM module to perform these mode-setting operations was called Kernel...

KMS also makes it easier to write alternative graphics systems, which now don't need to implement their own mode-setting code. By providing centralized mode management, KMS solves the flickering issues while changing between console and X, and also between different instances of X (fast user switching).
Direct Rendering Manager
c_xxbt0dknhc91
Since it is available in the kernel, it can also be used at the beginning of the boot process, saving flickering due to mode changes in these early stages. The fact that KMS is part of the kernel allows it to use resources only available at kernel space such as interrupts. For example, the mode recovery after a suspend...

The kernel also allows the hotplug of new display devices easily, solving a longstanding problem. Mode-setting is also closely related to memory management—since framebuffers are basically memory buffers—so a tight integration with the graphics memory manager is highly recommended. That's the main reason why the kernel...

Any DRM driver can choose to provide the DRIVER_MODESET flag when it registers with the DRM core to indicate that supports the KMS API.

In order-theoretic mathematics, a graded partially ordered set is said to have the Sperner property (and hence is called a Sperner poset), if no antichain within it is larger than the largest rank level (one of the sets of elements of the same rank) in the poset. Since every rank level is itself an antichain, the Spern...

In order-theoretic mathematics, the deviation of a poset is an ordinal number measuring the complexity of a poset. A poset is also known as a partially ordered set. The deviation of a poset is used to define the Krull dimension of a module over a ring as the deviation of its poset of submodules.

Since quartz is very strong, the gas pressure can be higher, which reduces the rate of evaporation of the filament, permitting it to run a higher temperature (and so luminous efficacy) for the same average life.

In organic chemistry, Bredt's rule is an empirical observation that states that a double bond cannot be placed at the bridgehead of a bridged ring system, unless the rings are large enough. The rule is named after Julius Bredt, who first discussed it in 1902 and codified it in 1924. It primarily relates to bridgeheads ...
