The Russian grading system has a range from grade 1A–6B that aligns in comparison tables with the IFAS/UIAA system (the six levels align with the original six UIAA Scale of Global Difficulty levels), and factors in difficulty, altitude, length, and commitment (i.e. risk and difficulty of retreat); the grades are described as: Russian Grade 1B: Some easy roped climbing. Russian Grade 2A: Several pitches of easy roped climbing. Russian Grade 2B: Some (UIAA scale) II+ and III climbing on a multi-pitch route. Russian Grade 3A: Contains 1 to 1.5 pitches of III climbing on a multi-pitch route. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climbing_grade |
By abuse of language, this terminology will be applied both to the original system and the ideal of differential polynomials generated by the left hand sides. A Janet basis is the predecessor of a Gröbner basis introduced by Bruno Buchberger for polynomial ideals. In order to generate a Janet basis for any given system of linear PDEs a ranking of its derivatives must be provided; then the corresponding Janet basis is unique. If a system of linear PDEs is given in terms of a Janet basis its differential dimension may easily be determined; it is a measure for the degree of indeterminacy of its general solution. In order to generate a Loewy decomposition of a system of linear PDEs its Janet basis must be determined first. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_basis |
Apart from MIC, based on laboratory simulation conditions, the gas cloud most likely also contained chloroform, dichloromethane, hydrogen chloride, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, and carbon dioxide that was either present in the tank or was produced in the storage tank when MIC, chloroform, and water reacted. The gas cloud, composed mainly of materials denser than air, stayed close to the ground and spread in a southeast direction affecting the nearby communities. The chemical reactions may have produced a liquid or solid aerosol. Laboratory investigations by CSIR and UCC scientists failed to demonstrate the presence of hydrogen cyanide. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster |
... Basic money-services business rules apply here. "In its October 2012 study, Virtual currency schemes, the European Central Bank concluded that the growth of virtual currencies will continue, and, given the currencies' inherent price instability, lack of close regulation, and risk of illegal uses by anonymous users, the Bank warned that periodic examination of developments would be necessary to reassess risks.In 2013, the U.S. Treasury extended its anti-money laundering regulations to processors of bitcoin transactions.In June 2013, Bitcoin Foundation board member Jon Matonis wrote in Forbes that he received a warning letter from the California Department of Financial Institutions accusing the foundation of unlicensed money transmission. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_bitcoin |
Men and boys 12 and older attend priesthood classes. Although all men and boys meet briefly at the beginning of the session for a prayer, hymn, and announcements, they then separate into classes. The men attend Elders Quorum. Boys are divided into priesthood quorums: Deacons (ages 12–13), Teachers (ages 14–15), and Priests (ages 16–18) Quorums. Classes may be combined if class sizes are small. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_and_testimony_meeting |
Sediment flux can be reduced in steep watersheds on montane tropical islands in the Hawaiian archipelago by restoring vegetation and controlling invasive species. Gabions — check dams — created by planting normally invasive kiawe trees by a local community group, stopped 77 tons of sediment from flowing into the ocean that would have needed about five weeks of natural water flow to flush from the reef. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_reef_protection |
Constructs can be applied to anything people put their attention to, and constructs also strongly influence what people fix their attention on. People can construe reality by constructing different constructs. Hence, determining a person's system of constructs would go a long way towards understanding them, especially the person's essential constructs that represent their very strong and unchangeable beliefs and their self-construal. Kelly did not use the concept of the unconscious; instead, he proposed the notion of "levels of awareness" to explain why people did what they did. He identified "construing" as the highest level and "preverbal" as the lowest level of awareness.Some psychologists have suggested that PCT is not a psychological theory but a metatheory because it is a theory about theories. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_construct_psychology |
During LACE's tenth lunar month of operation, the experiment developed a problem with the instrument's high-voltage section. The sweep high voltage dropped to zero on 17 October 1973 at 17:32 UTC. The normal 2900 volt output had reduced to several hundred volts, and the instrument could no longer operate. Numerous corrective measures were attempted, but none were successful. == References == | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Atmospheric_Composition_Experiment |
The principal aims of an autopsy are to determine the cause of death, mode of death, manner of death, the state of health of the person before he or she died, and whether any medical diagnosis and treatment before death were appropriate. In most Western countries the number of autopsies performed in hospitals has been decreasing every year since 1955. Critics, including pathologist and former JAMA editor George D. Lundberg, have charged that the reduction in autopsies is negatively affecting the care delivered in hospitals, because when mistakes result in death, they are often not investigated and lessons, therefore, remain unlearned. When a person has permitted an autopsy in advance of their death, autopsies may also be carried out for the purposes of teaching or medical research. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necropsy |
To ease congestion on the Johor–Singapore Causeway, which links the two countries, Lee revived a dormant 1991 plan to link the Singapore MRT network to Johor Bahru in 2011. During this period, Malaysia also reinstated a plan to connect Kuala Lumpur to Singapore via a high-speed rail network. After joint preliminary technical studies on both rail projects, it was agreed to proceed with the Kuala Lumpur–Singapore high-speed rail (KL-SG HSR) in February 2013 and the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (JB-SG RTS) in December 2016.After the 2018 Malaysian general election and the fall of the Barisan Nasional government, the Mahathir Mohamad government repeatedly delayed the rail projects, citing their high cost and its financial indebtedness. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Hsien_Loong |
Latík in Luzon is made from coconut milk simmered in a saucepan until it reduces to coconut oil and solids ("coconut curds") begin to form at the top surface. These solids are left to fry in the coconut oil until golden brown. In the Visayas, these solids are known as lunok in Cebuano; and balutai in Karay-a.Latík is commonly used as topping for a variety of Philippine dishes including maja blanca, sapin-sapin, and ube halaya.They are sometimes mistaken for fried caramelized coconut flesh (another type of garnishing/dessert known as bukayo in Bisaya). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut_syrup |
According to the US government, the Syrian government under Assad was behind the chemical attack, and Syrian jets carried out the bombing of a rebel stronghold. U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was quoted as saying "Either Russia has been complicit or Russia has been simply incompetent". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khan_Shaykhun_chemical_attack |
Although listening and reading are generally intact, subtle deficits in both reading and listening comprehension are almost always present during assessment of aphasia.Because Broca's area is anterior to the primary motor cortex, which is responsible for movement of the face, hands, and arms, a lesion affecting Broca's areas may also result in hemiparesis (weakness of both limbs on the same side of the body) or hemiplegia (paralysis of both limbs on the same side of the body). The brain is wired contralaterally, which means the limbs on right side of the body are controlled by the left hemisphere and vice versa. Therefore, when Broca's area or surrounding areas in the left hemisphere are damaged, hemiplegia or hemiparesis often occurs on the right side of the body in individuals with Broca's aphasia. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fluent_aphasia |
Additionally, London dispersion forces are responsible for condensing non polar substances to liquids, and to further freeze to a solid state dependent on how low the temperature of the environment is.A covalent bond, also known as a molecular bond, involves the sharing of electrons between two atoms. Primarily, this type of bond occurs between elements that fall close to each other on the periodic table of elements, yet it is observed between some metals and nonmetals. This is due to the mechanism of this type of bond. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_compounds |
Blade shears consist of two blades arranged similarly to scissors except that the hinge is at the end farthest from the point (not in the middle). The cutting edges pass each other as the shearer squeezes them together and shear the wool close to the animal's skin. Blade shears are still used today but in a more limited way. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_shears |
The situations (in which rules are applied or implemented) are particularistic, even idiosyncratic, whereas formal rules of behavior are more or less general. In some situations (especially emergent or new situations), actors may be uncertain or disagree about which rules apply or about the ways in which to apply them. They engage in situational analyses and rule modification, or even rule innovation out of which emerge informal rules (which may be formalized later). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_rule_system_theory |
Let demand, D {\displaystyle D} , follow a uniform distribution (continuous) between D min = 50 {\displaystyle D_{\min }=50} and D max = 80 {\displaystyle D_{\max }=80} . q opt = F − 1 ( 7 − 5 7 ) = F − 1 ( 0.285 ) = D min + ( D max − D min ) ⋅ 0.285 = 58.55 ≈ 59. {\displaystyle q_{\text{opt}}=F^{-1}\left({\frac {7-5}{7}}\right)=F^{-1}\left(0.285\right)=D_{\min }+(D_{\max }-D_{\min })\cdot 0.285=58.55\approx 59.} Therefore, the optimal inventory level is approximately 59 units. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsvendor_model |
The cylinders were found in a drain by Ernest de Sarzec under the Eninnu temple complex at Telloh, the ancient ruins of the Sumerian "holy city" of Girsu, during the first season of excavations in 1877. They were found next to a building known as the Agaren, where a brick pillar (pictured) was found containing an inscription describing its construction by Gudea within Eninnu during the Second Dynasty of Lagash. The Agaren was described on the pillar as a place of judgement, or mercy seat, and it is thought that the cylinders were either kept there or elsewhere in the Eninnu. They are thought to have fallen into the drain during the destruction of Girsu generations later. In 1878 the cylinders were shipped to Paris, France where they remain on display today at the Louvre, Department of Near East antiquities, Richelieu, ground floor, room 2, accession numbers MNB 1511 and MNB 1512. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gudea_cylinders |
Social cleansing in Brazil is the result of a "murky symbiosis has developed between the official security forces and paramilitary and vigilante-type actors" that carry out "law enforcement against the 'marginal classes.'" State actors often act against the poor "as a form or result of exclusion and oppression". Gangs serve as a scapegoat for the levels of violence and lack of security in many communities. Private groups and some gangs perpetrate killings in attempts to take policing into their own hands. While some killings are a result of groups attempting to punish criminals for misdemeanors, others are a result of perceived threats of poor citizens, such as members of workers' movements. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_cleansing |
The first described occurrence of polar overdominance in sheep was shown after finding that a mutant allele, called callipyge (after Venus Callipyge), must be inherited from the father to cause a condition called muscle hypertrophy. Muscle hypertrophy in the offspring is caused by an increase in the size and proportion of muscle fibers, namely the fast-twitch muscle fibers. This increase is generally located in the hind quarters and torso. Muscle hypertrophy only manifests itself in the offspring approximately one month after birth. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_overdominance |
They are often sold in packages at supermarkets and convenience stores, or made fresh in pastry shops. In Morocco, Lebanon, Tunisia, Algeria, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom, they are sold in most bakeries, supermarkets and cafés. In Germany, they are sold less frequently than chocolate croissants, but both are referred to as Schokoladencroissant. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_au_chocolat |
This forced Siebe Gorman's and Heinke's prices down and started them selling to the sport diving trade. (Siebe Gorman gave its drysuit the tradename "Frogman".) Because of this better availability of aqualungs, BSAC adopted a policy that rebreathers were unacceptable for recreational diving. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_diving_technology |
Several variants of decision tree models have been introduced, depending on the computational model and type of query algorithms are allowed to perform. For example, a decision tree argument is used to show that a comparison sort of n {\displaystyle n} items must take n log ( n ) {\displaystyle n\log(n)} comparisons. For comparison sorts, a query is a comparison of two items a , b {\displaystyle a,\,b} , with two outcomes (assuming no items are equal): either a < b {\displaystyle a b {\displaystyle a>b} . Comparison sorts can be expressed as a decision tree in this model, since such sorting algorithms only perform these types of queries. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_tree_complexity |
In it, a subject is wholly constituted in terms of its position in the system. The essential characteristic of a subject is a class symbol which refers only to other symbols. Its verbal equivalent is accidental, a merely pragmatic characteristic... .... The conflict of interpretations over "subjects" became explicit in the battles between "bibliography" (an approach to subjects having much in common with Cutter's) and Dewey's "close classification". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject_(documents) |
A review in The Oregonian said: "Armbruster's book is packed with information on everything from the earliest pianos through the gold rush and Tin Pan Alley eras up through big band sounds and folk music," and that "He did a great job tracking down musicians from bygone days and gathering photos, including the smashing one of Guitar Shorty and his band on the cover. "His book Playing for Change is about the founders of the Seattle Repertory Playhouse, Burton and Florence James.The history of American railroading is a lifelong interest, and he is currently (2023) managing editor of the Northern Pacific Railway Historical Association magazine, The Mainstreeter, for which he has written numerous articles. Armbruster is a musician and songwriter with two albums: Spookyjuice (2012) and One Good Ride(2019), under the name EINAR. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_E._Armbruster |
The term macroscopic scale differs in usage from the science concept as discussed above; in essence it covers any item large enough to be seen with the unaided eye, in other words, not requiring a microscope to be visualized. Some authors also use "macroscopic" as part of a continuum of successively larger types of scale, commencing with microscopic, then macroscopic, then mesoscopic, and finally megascopic scales. By contrast, macro photography (short for macroscopic photography) is a term used to cover photographs where the subject appears magnified (greater than life size), strictly speaking at the film plane but in practice when reproduced as a print or on a screen, generally in the range of x1 to x10 magnification; while a Macroscope is also a designation for a type of optical microscope formerly marketed by the European manufacturers Wild Heerbrugg and Leica Microsystems, optimised for macro- and microphotography in the x8 to x40 magnification range; similar instruments, also under the name "Macroscopes", were also previously offered by other optical manufacturers including Bausch and Lomb, and Ednalite Research Corporation. Another use of the term "macroscope", pre-dating Odum's popularization of the science concept, occurs in the novelist Piers Anthony's 1969 science fiction book of the same name, in which his imaginary instrument is a sort of super-telescope, capable of focusing anywhere in space and time at the direction of the user, while in Jill Linz & Cindy Schwarz's 2009 children's novel Adventures in Atomville: The Macroscope, the titular instrument is a new invention by which atoms (which have identities in the book) can visualize the "outside world" for the first time. The term "macroscope" has also been employed in at least 2 instances in the names of commercial computer software products. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroscope_(science_concept) |
Aminotransferase class-V is an evolutionary conserved protein domain. This domain is found in amino transferases, and other enzymes including cysteine desulphurase EC:4.4.1.-. Aminotransferases share certain mechanistic features with other pyridoxal- phosphate dependent enzymes, such as the covalent binding of the pyridoxal- phosphate group to a lysine residue. On the basis of sequence similarity, these various enzymes can be grouped into subfamilies. This family is called class-V. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminotransferase,_class_V |
The oldest Thai restaurant in London, "The Bangkok Restaurant", was opened in 1967 by Mr and Mrs Bunnag, a former Thai diplomat and his wife, in South Kensington.The global popularity of Thai cuisine is seen as an important factor in promoting tourism, and also increased exports of Thailand's agricultural sector. It is a result of deliberate "gastrodiplomacy". In June 2009, the Tourism Authority of Thailand organised a conference to discuss these matters at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre in Bangkok. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_cuisine |
Spinal cord injuries or nervous system disorders are additional causes of overflow incontinence. In men, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) may also restrict the flow of urine.

Only the largest and strongest males manage to defend the best quality nest sites. Females choose males by inspecting the quality of different territories or by looking at some male traits that can indicate the quality of resources. One example of this is with the grayling butterfly (Hipparchia semele), where males engage in complex flight patterns to decide who defends a particular territory. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_ecology |

Finally, motor torpedo craft of the Belgian Navy joined other Western Union warships to execute mine-sweeping operations in Weymouth Bay.On 4 July the White force aircraft (RAF Lancasters and Dutch fighters) operated searches against the Blue force (escorted by French aircraft and British flying boats) as it approached the Bay of Biscay. Later both naval surface forces combined in a simulated convoy - the aircraft carriers standing in for troopships - with Lancasters, Mitchells and Meteors as air cover. Land based fighters and naval strike aircraft practiced attacks with cannon and rockets against the smaller ships and then against the main force of four carriers, the battleship Anson and supporting destroyers. The same was practiced the morning of the following day.One unusual example of allied cooperation involved the replacement of the outer wing of a Netherlands Sea Fury fighter aircraft that had been damaged by a bird strike. Since the Royal Netherlands Navy did not provide such elaborate spare parts when the aircraft's group deployed to RNAS Culdrose, the damaged Sea Fury received a replacement wing with British markings.Admiral McGrigor summarized the accomplishments of Exercise Verity by noting: "The object of these manoeuvres is to show that we are willing and able to work together in case of aggression ... I can say straight away that it's been a very great success". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_Verity |
In When Prophecy Fails the authors describe five conditions under which disconfirmation of a belief may lead to increased fervor in a believer: A belief must be held with conviction The believer must behave in a manner consistent with this belief The believer must be committed to the belief This is apparent when the person holding the belief commits to some action(s) that is difficult to undo, such as selling all of one's possessions or participating in an illegal lifestyle, as with the traditionally polygamist Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints The belief must be falsifiable That is, the belief must be specific enough that a real-world event could disconfirm it Contradictory evidence must be presented to and recognized by the believer The belief must be unequivocally disconfirmed to the believer The individual believer must have social supportThe fifth condition is especially important as it states the specific circumstance under which the belief can continue after disconfirmation. Points one and two are necessary conditions that are likely to influence the believer to be resistant to changing the belief. Points three and four are the factors that indicate the belief is flawed and should be absolutely discarded. Thus, the believer is subject to a large amount of cognitive dissonance: "I believe something that is not true." In the absence of adequate social support, it is likely that the belief will be discarded to alleviate this pressure. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disconfirmed_expectancy |
More generally, the analog of differential forms in secondary calculus are the elements of the first term of the so-called C-spectral sequence, and so on. The simplest diffieties are infinite prolongations of partial differential equations, which are subvarieties of infinite jet spaces. The latter are infinite dimensional varieties that can not be studied by means of standard functional analysis. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_calculus |
The revival of topiary in English gardening parallels the revived "Jacobethan" taste in architecture; John Loudon in the 1840s was the first garden writer to express a sense of loss due to the topiary that had been removed from English gardens. The art of topiary, with enclosed garden "rooms", burst upon the English gardening public with the mature examples at Elvaston Castle, Derbyshire, which opened to public viewing in the 1850s and created a sensation: "within a few years architectural topiary was springing up all over the country (it took another 25 years before sculptural topiary began to become popular as well)". The following generation, represented by James Shirley Hibberd, rediscovered the charm of topiary specimens as part of the mystique of the "English cottage garden", which was as much invented as revived from the 1870s: It may be true, as I believe it is, that the natural form of a tree is the most beautiful possible for that tree, but it may happen that we do not want the most beautiful form, but one of our own designing, and expressive of our ingenuity The classic statement of the British Arts and Crafts revival of topiary among roses and mixed herbaceous borders, characterised generally as "the old-fashioned garden" or the "Dutch garden" was to be found in Topiary: Garden Craftsmanship in Yew and Box by Nathaniel Lloyd (1867–1933), who had retired in middle age and taken up architectural design with the encouragement of Sir Edwin Lutyens. Lloyd's own timber-framed manor house, Great Dixter, Sussex, remains an epitome of this stylised mix of topiary with "cottagey" plantings that was practised by Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens in a fruitful partnership. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topiary |

Domain names are often seen in analogy to real estate in that domain names are foundations on which a website can be built, and the highest quality domain names, like sought-after real estate, tend to carry significant value, usually due to their online brand-building potential, use in advertising, search engine optimization, and many other criteria. A few companies have offered low-cost, below-cost or even free domain registration with a variety of models adopted to recoup the costs to the provider. These usually require that domains be hosted on their website within a framework or portal that includes advertising wrapped around the domain holder's content, revenue from which allows the provider to recoup the costs. Domain registrations were free of charge when the DNS was new. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_domain |

The standard Lambert W function expresses exact solutions to transcendental algebraic equations (in x) of the form: where a0, c and r are real constants. The solution is Generalizations of the Lambert W function include: An application to general relativity and quantum mechanics (quantum gravity) in lower dimensions, in fact a link (unknown prior to 2007) between these two areas, where the right-hand side of (1) is replaced by a quadratic polynomial in x: where r1 and r2 are real distinct constants, the roots of the quadratic polynomial. Here, the solution is a function which has a single argument x but the terms like ri and a0 are parameters of that function. In this respect, the generalization resembles the hypergeometric function and the Meijer G function but it belongs to a different class of functions. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_W-function |

It was from Krause that Schopenhauer learned meditation and received the closest thing to expert advice concerning Indian thought. The view of things that all plurality is only apparent, that in the endless series of individuals, passing simultaneously and successively into and out of life, generation after generation, age after age, there is but one and the same entity really existing, which is present and identical in all alike;—this theory, I say, was of course known long before Kant; indeed, it may be carried back to the remotest antiquity. It is the alpha and omega of the oldest book in the world, the sacred Vedas, whose dogmatic part, or rather esoteric teaching, is found in the Upanishads. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Schopenhauer |
Lenny and Carl work at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant alongside Homer Simpson. Despite his steady job, Lenny has been featured with several other jobs.

Scholars like Sheila Jasanoff have advanced the debate around public engagement with science by leveraging the theory of deliberative democracy to analyze the public deliberation of and participation in science through various institutional forms. Proponents of greater public deliberation argue it is a basic condition for decision making in democratic societies, even on science and technology issues. There are also attempts to develop more inclusive participatory models of technological governance in the form of consensus conferences, citizen juries, extended peer reviews, and deliberative mapping. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_understanding_of_science |
Sponges, the members of the phylum Porifera (; meaning 'pore bearer'), are a basal animal clade as a sister of the diploblasts. They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells. Sponges have unspecialized cells that can transform into other types and that often migrate between the main cell layers and the mesohyl in the process. Sponges do not have complex nervous, digestive or circulatory systems like humans. Instead, most rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food and oxygen and to remove wastes. Sponges were possibly the first to branch off the evolutionary tree from the last common ancestor of all animals, which would make them the sister group of all other animals. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponge |
The caregiver can view the IPI trend, which indicates changes in IPI over time.

Since 1954, it has been known that DNA is the main physical substrate to genetic information, and it is capable of high-fidelity replication through many generations. So, a particular gene coded in a nucleobase sequence of a lineage of replicated DNA molecules can have a high permanence and a low rate of endogenous change.In normal sexual reproduction, an entire genome is the unique combination of father's and mother's chromosomes produced at the moment of fertilization.

The original state is called a ground state, other states are called excited states. For example, if the team completes their job on activity, they can move to other activities. The notion of an activity's state is important because certain events can or cannot occur when activity is in certain state. It means that the state of an activity is subscribed to the events. Events can be local, affecting particular tasks or resources, or global affecting all tasks or resources. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_chain_methodology |
General linear methods (GLMs) are a large class of numerical methods used to obtain numerical solutions to ordinary differential equations. They include multistage Runge–Kutta methods that use intermediate collocation points, as well as linear multistep methods that save a finite time history of the solution. John C. Butcher originally coined this term for these methods, and has written a series of review papers a book chapter and a textbook on the topic. His collaborator, Zdzislaw Jackiewicz also has an extensive textbook on the topic. The original class of methods were originally proposed by Butcher (1965), Gear (1965) and Gragg and Stetter (1964). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_linear_methods |
They are used in this way to measure the cost of resources consumed, identify and eliminate non-value-added costs, determine the efficiency and effectiveness of all major activities, and identify and evaluate new activities that can improve future performance. A "quality storyboard" is a tool to help facilitate the introduction of a quality improvement process into an organization. "Design comics" are a type of storyboard used to include a customer or other characters into a narrative. Design comics are most often used in designing websites or illustrating product-use scenarios during design. Design comics were popularized by Kevin Cheng and Jane Jao in 2006. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storyboard |
Unlike in self-metered coating methods such as blade- and bar coating, the slot-die does not influence the thickness of the wet coated layer via any form of destructive physical contact or scraping. The height of the slot-die therefore does not determine the thickness of the wet coated layer. The height of the slot-die is instead significant in determining the quality of the coated film, as it controls the distance that must be spanned by the meniscus to maintain a stable coating process. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slot-die_coating |
Heron's formula is a special case of Brahmagupta's formula for the area of a cyclic quadrilateral. Heron's formula and Brahmagupta's formula are both special cases of Bretschneider's formula for the area of a quadrilateral. Heron's formula can be obtained from Brahmagupta's formula or Bretschneider's formula by setting one of the sides of the quadrilateral to zero. Brahmagupta's formula gives the area K of a cyclic quadrilateral whose sides have lengths a, b, c, d as K = ( s − a ) ( s − b ) ( s − c ) ( s − d ) {\displaystyle K={\sqrt {(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)(s-d)}}} where s, the semiperimeter, is defined to be s = a + b + c + d 2 . | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's_formula |
The choice set is the set of alternatives that are available to the person. For a discrete choice model, the choice set must meet three requirements: The set of alternatives must be collectively exhaustive, meaning that the set includes all possible alternatives. This requirement implies that the person necessarily does choose an alternative from the set. The alternatives must be mutually exclusive, meaning that choosing one alternative means not choosing any other alternatives. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_choice_model |
S corporations pay a franchise tax of 1.5% of net income in the state of California (minimum $800). This is one factor to be taken into consideration when choosing between a limited liability company and an S corporation in California. For highly profitable enterprises, the LLC franchise tax fees (minimum $800), which are based on gross revenues, may be lower than the 1.5% net income tax. Conversely, for high-gross-revenue, low-profit-margin businesses, the LLC franchise tax fees may exceed the S corporation net income tax. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_corporation |
In 1942 he became head of the Institute for Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry at the Technical University of Vienna, where he also installed an electron microscope by Manfred von Ardenne. In 1945, Hofmann left Vienna and from 1948 taught chemistry and set up his laboratory at the Philosophical-Theological University of Regensburg (now University of Regensburg), where no chemistry had previously been taught. In 1951, he became professor of inorganic and physical chemistry at Technical University of Darmstadt. In 1960, Hofmann became head of the Institute for Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Heidelberg, where he later retired in 1971. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulrich_Hofmann |
Despite this report, a week later, WABC told the press that no final decision had been made. Protests were being held in front of the ABC headquarters from the National Organization for Women (NOW), who demanded Antoine be fired. The decision was announced on December 18 to reinstate Antoine in a non-televised role. Instead of forecasting on television, he would assist Storm Field (who was hired in March 1976) with forecast production. However, his contract expired in March 1977 and was not renewed by the station.Antoine closed out his career in 1978 with a brief stint as weatherman for WNEW-TV. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tex_Antoine |
Corrugated horn – A horn with parallel slots or grooves, small compared with a wavelength, covering the inside surface of the horn, transverse to the axis. Corrugated horns have wider bandwidth and smaller sidelobes and cross-polarization, and are widely used as feed horns for satellite dishes and radio telescopes. Dual-mode conical horn – (The Potter horn ) This horn can be used to replace the corrugated horn for use at sub-mm wavelengths where the corrugated horn is lossy and difficult to fabricate. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_(telescope) |

In this experiment Galileo used an inclined plane and several steel balls of different weights. With this design, Galileo was able to slow down the falling motion and record, with reasonable accuracy, the times at which a steel ball passed certain markings on a beam.

Where students opt to study two bachelor's degrees simultaneously – referred to as a "conjoint degree" or "double degree" – an extra year of study is added. The number of years of study required is determined based on the degree with the greatest number of years. For example, a BCom degree requires three years of full-time study, but a double BCom–LLB degree will require five years of full-time study because the LLB degree is four years long. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baccalaureate_degree |
This means that populations that require psychiatric mental care will transition between institutions, which in this case, includes state psychiatric hospitals and criminal justice systems. Thus, a decrease in available psychiatric hospital beds occurred at the same time as an increase in inmates. Although some are skeptical that this is due to other external factors, others will reason this conclusion to a lack of empathy for the mentally ill. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_health |

The term was coined by C.P. Steinmetz in a 1894 paper.In some sources Oliver Heaviside is given credit for coining the term, or with introducing the concept under the name permittance. This claim is mistaken according to Steinmetz's biographer. The term susceptance does not appear anywhere in Heaviside's collected works, and Heaviside used the term permittance to mean capacitance, not susceptance. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susceptance |
A jury theorem is a mathematical theorem proving that, under certain assumptions, a decision attained using majority voting in a large group is more likely to be correct than a decision attained by a single expert. It serves as a formal argument for the idea of wisdom of the crowd, for decision of questions of fact by jury trial, and for democracy in general.The first and most famous jury theorem is Condorcet's jury theorem. It assumes that all voters have independent probabilities to vote for the correct alternative, these probabilities are larger than 1/2, and are the same for all voters. Under these assumptions, the probability that the majority decision is correct is strictly larger when the group is larger; and when the group size tends to infinity, the probability that the majority decision is correct tends to 1. There are many other jury theorems, relaxing some or all of these assumptions. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_theorem |
The Meikan describes that from earlier time there was a list of forty two famous swordsmiths in the Toukou Meikan 刀工銘鑑 at Kanchiin 観智院. Eight of the swordsmiths on this list were from Ōshū schools. Five from Mokusa being Onimaru 鬼丸, Yoyasu 世安, Morifusa 森房, Hatafusa 幡房 and Gaan 瓦安, two from the Tamatsukuri Fuju 諷誦,Houji 寶次 and one from Gassan signing just Gassan 月山. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_swords |
Also, Neamul Românesc showed a preference for Action Française and the French reactionary right in their conflict with the Third Republic. Shortly after the beginning of World War I, during the Battle of the Frontiers, Iorga publicized his renewed love for France, claiming that she was the only belligerent engaged in a purely defensive war; in the name of Pan-Latinism, he later chided Spain for keeping neutral.Iorga's coverage of European culture and continental affairs also opened bridges with other cultural areas, particularly so during the interwar. By that time, historian Lucian Boia notes, he was seeing Europe as a community of nations, and, "in his own way", was rejecting isolationism or "primitive" xenophobia. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolae_Iorga |
An additional railway station between Takapu Road and Tawa, named Redwood Station, was opened at Tawa Street on the 15 December 1963 to provide for new housing development south of Tawa Street, on Taylor Terrace and the northern part of the new Redwood development. The platforms are staggered north and south of the level crossing to prevent prolonged operation of the barrier arms and flashing lights and bells at the level crossing, as trains in either direction stop after using the level crossing. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawa_Flat_deviation |
Some of the electrons strike the eyelet and deposit a charge on it. The original 4096-bit Selectron was a 10-inch-long (250 mm) by 3-inch-diameter (76 mm) vacuum tube configured as 1024 by 4 bits. It had an indirectly heated cathode running up the middle, surrounded by two separate sets of wires — one radial, one axial — forming a cylindrical grid array, and finally a dielectric storage material coating on the inside of four segments of an enclosing metal cylinder, called the signal plates. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selectron_tube |
While every version of FrameMaker could read the last couple of version's documents, reading them all took too much software effort and testing, so reading MIF was sufficient. The third was to ensure that FrameMaker would never lose a writer's work. If FrameMaker crashed, it would first write out the current document in MIF. Any document that can be created interactively in FrameMaker can also be represented, exactly and completely, in MIF (the reverse, however, is not true: a few FrameMaker features are available only through MIF). All versions of FrameMaker can export documents in MIF, and can also read MIF documents, including documents created by an earlier version or by another program. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_FrameMaker |
That being said, Lim and colleagues researched the differences between early and late onset of social anxiety disorder and its relation to social inhibition. Through the duration of their study, they found those diagnosed as early onset had complaints other than ones about social anxiety symptoms. Early onset individuals would frequently have more severe symptoms and higher levels of behavioral inhibition. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_inhibition |
Transparent encryption, also known as real-time encryption and on-the-fly encryption (OTFE), is a method used by some disk encryption software. "Transparent" refers to the fact that data is automatically encrypted or decrypted as it is loaded or saved. With transparent encryption, the files are accessible immediately after the key is provided, and the entire volume is typically mounted as if it were a physical drive, making the files just as accessible as any unencrypted ones. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. The entire file system within the volume is encrypted (including file names, folder names, file contents, and other meta-data).To be transparent to the end-user, transparent encryption usually requires the use of device drivers to enable the encryption process. Although administrator access rights are normally required to install such drivers, encrypted volumes can typically be used by normal users without these rights.In general, every method in which data is seamlessly encrypted on write and decrypted on read, in such a way that the user and/or application software remains unaware of the process, can be called transparent encryption. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-the-fly_encryption |
Because the vehicle provides the driver with a limited view, with many blind spots, they are equipped with multiple proximity sensors, and closed circuit TVs cameras.The 789 averages 0.3 miles per US gallon (7.8 L/km). It has six tires, each of which are 12 feet (3.7 m) in diameter and cost $50,000 to replace.Malcolm Nance, the author of Defeating ISIS: Who They Are, How They Fight, What They Believe, described ISIS suicide bombers driving Caterpillar 789 trucks loaded with explosives into fortifications. == References == | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caterpillar_789 |

This means that they should be able to give an explanation of why they engaged in one behavior rather than another. Effectiveness is closely related to efficiency but not identical to it. The difference is that effectiveness is about achieving goals while efficiency is about using few resources (such as time, effort, and money) in the process.Appropriateness means that the communicative behavior meets social standards and expectations. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_technologies |
Since the first competition, the top five (or six, in case of a tie) scorers in the competition have been named Putnam Fellows. Within the top five, Putnam Fellows are not ranked. Students are not allowed to participate in the Putnam Competition more than four times. For example, if a high school senior chooses to officially participate, he/she effectively chooses to forfeit one of his/her years of eligibility in college (see Gabriel Carroll). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lowell_Putnam_Mathematical_Competition |
In July 1943, as a result of the American Federation of Musicians boycott of US recording studios, the a cappella vocal group The Song Spinners had a best-seller with "Comin' In on a Wing and a Prayer". In the 1950s, several recording groups, notably The Hi-Los and the Four Freshmen, introduced complex jazz harmonies to a cappella performances. The King's Singers are credited with promoting interest in small-group a cappella performances in the 1960s. Frank Zappa loved doo wop and a cappella, so Zappa released The Persuasions' first album from his label in 1970. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_capella |
Consequently, the probability mass function is zero for all but a countable number of values of x {\displaystyle x} . The discontinuity of probability mass functions is related to the fact that the cumulative distribution function of a discrete random variable is also discontinuous. If X {\displaystyle X} is a discrete random variable, then P ( X = x ) = 1 {\displaystyle P(X=x)=1} means that the casual event ( X = x ) {\displaystyle (X=x)} is certain (it is true in 100% of the occurrences); on the contrary, P ( X = x ) = 0 {\displaystyle P(X=x)=0} means that the casual event ( X = x ) {\displaystyle (X=x)} is always impossible. This statement isn't true for a continuous random variable X {\displaystyle X} , for which P ( X = x ) = 0 {\displaystyle P(X=x)=0} for any possible x {\displaystyle x} . Discretization is the process of converting a continuous random variable into a discrete one. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_mass_function |
As well as being the intersections of the circles of Apollonius, each isodynamic point is the intersection points of another triple of circles. The first isodynamic point is the intersection of three circles through the pairs of points A B , {\displaystyle AB,} A C , {\displaystyle AC,} and B C , {\displaystyle BC,} where each of these circles intersects the circumcircle of triangle A B C {\displaystyle ABC} to form a lens with apex angle 2π/3. Similarly, the second isodynamic point is the intersection of three circles that intersect the circumcircle to form lenses with apex angle π/3.The angles formed by the first isodynamic point with the triangle vertices satisfy the equations A S B = A C B + π / 3 , {\displaystyle ASB=ACB+\pi /3,} A S C = A B C + π / 3 , {\displaystyle ASC=ABC+\pi /3,} and B S C = B A C + π / 3. {\displaystyle BSC=BAC+\pi /3.} | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isodynamic_point |
Once the QTD2 program began, this program started to be referred to as QTD1. The resulting design changes were demonstrated in the 2005 Quiet Technology Demonstrator Two (QTD2) program in which a new Boeing 777-300ER, fitted with General Electric GE90-115B engines, was used for a three-week trial, again mainly at Boeing’s flight test centre at Glasgow Industrial Airport. As well as the modifications, the aircraft was equipped with extensive sound measurement equipment, and microphone arrays were laid out around the airfield. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EcoDemonstrator |
After these three instars, they are considered adults. Most adult species are light tan to brown in color and are usually 1–4 mm in length, although some livestock species can grow to be 5–7 mm, and some wild bird species can even get to 10 mm.Mallophaga are often adapted to live on a specific part of their host and typically spend their entire lives on a single host. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chewing_lice |
There are several different choices of offset knots - all offering varying levels of advantages/disadvantages. Another option is wrapping the strands a second time before passing the tail through (a two-rope version of ABoK #516, also called a double overhand or flat doubled overhand bend) but again, it increases the overall footprint. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-sided_overhand_bend |
"Bizarre Love Triangle" has been critically acclaimed since its release. In a 30th anniversary retrospective citing the song as one of the greatest of all time, Billboard described it as a "synth-pop masterpiece" and "an incandescent jewel of mid-'80s computer love." NME praised the song as New Order's "finest pop moment" and credited its simplicity in comparison to previous singles such as "Blue Monday". In 2004, the song was ranked No. 204 in Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time." In 2013, Stereogum ranked the song No. 2 on their list of the 10 greatest New Order songs, and in 2021, The Guardian ranked the song No. 7 on their list of the 30 greatest New Order songs. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizarre_Love_Triangle |
V&A Digital Futures is a series of events organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in the area of digital art. Digital Futures events are organized by Irini Papadimitriou of the V&A, who started the events in 2012, some at the V&A museum itself and some elsewhere around London especially but also elsewhere in the United Kingdom.

Not all finals need be cumulative, however, as some simply cover the material presented since the last exam. For example, a microbiology course might only cover fungi and parasites on the final exam if this were the policy of the professor, and all other subjects presented in the course would then not be tested on the final exam. Prior to the examination period most students in the Commonwealth have a week or so of intense revision and study known as swotvac. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_examination |
By the end of April 2005, Silent Alarm had charted in eighteen countries on four continents. Bloc Party toured in Japan with The Rakes at the start of May and completed a headlining tour of the US in June. The band members played their first concerts in Australia in July and spent the whole of August on the European festivals circuit.

During the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan, the Night Stalkers from 2nd Battalion supported two task forces established in early October 2001: Dagger and Sword. (Their unit in TF Sword was designated Task Force Brown.) In the evening of 18 October into 19 October 2001, two SOAR MH-47E helicopters, escorted by MH-60L (Direct Action Penetrators) (DAPs), airlifted U.S. troops from the Karshi-Khanabad Air Base in Uzbekistan more than 300 kilometers (190 mi) across the 16,000-foot (4,900 m) Hindu Kush mountains into Afghanistan. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/160th_Special_Operations_Aviation_Regiment_(Airborne) |
Link farm exchanges were at first handled on an informal basis, but several service companies were founded to provide automated registration, categorization, and link page updates to member Websites. When the Google search engine became popular, search engine optimizers learned that Google's ranking algorithm depended in part on a link-weighting scheme called PageRank. Rather than simply count all inbound links equally, the PageRank algorithm determines that some links may be more valuable than others, and therefore assigns them more weight than others. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog_network |
The Volta potential measured by SKP is directly proportional to the corrosion potential of a material, as such SKP has found widespread use in the study of the fields of corrosion and coatings. In the field of coatings for example, a scratched region of a self-healing shape memory polymer coating containing a heat generating agent on aluminium alloys was measured by SKP. Initially after the scratch was made the Volta potential was noticeably higher and wider over the scratch than over the rest of the sample, implying this region is more likely to corrode. The Volta potential decreased over subsequent measurements, and eventually the peak over the scratch completely disappeared implying the coating has healed. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_Kelvin_probe |
