A classical problem of enumerative geometry is to enumerate the rational curves on a Calabi–Yau manifold such as the one illustrated above. By applying mirror symmetry, mathematicians have translated this problem into an equivalent problem for the mirror Calabi–Yau, which turns out to be easier to solve.In physics, mir... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_symmetry_(string_theory) |
Many modern programs with a graphical interface simulate the display style of text mode programs, notably when it is important to preserve the vertical alignment of text, e.g., during computer programming. There exist also software components to emulate text mode, such as terminal emulators or command line consoles. In... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphanumeric_character_generator |
Scandal sheets were the precursors to tabloid journalism. Around 1770, scandal sheets appeared in London, and in the United States as early as the 1840s. Reverend Henry Bate Dudley was the editor of one of the earliest scandal sheets, The Morning Post, which specialized in printing malicious society gossip, selling pos... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabloid_newspapers |
Shadowkeep's seasonal content included the Season of the Undying, with the Vanguard preventing a Vex invasion of the Moon by the Undying Mind, Season of Dawn, where the Guardian aids Orisis with the Sundial to prevent the Red Legion from altering the past and to bring back Saint-14 to the present, Season of the Worthy,... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny_2 |
Environmental historians have been criticized for what is called “recentism,” that is examining twentieth-century environmental issues. Works by archeologists and historians focusing on the colonial era in Latin America (1492-1825), which were not called “environmental history” at the time, are a rejoinder to that crit... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_history_of_Latin_America |
All Pell equations have the trivial solution x = 1, y = 0 for any n; this is called the zeroth solution, and indexed as (x0, y0) = (1,0). If (xk, yk) denotes the kth nontrivial solution to any Pell equation for a particular n, it can be shown by the method of descent that x k + 1 = 2 x k x 1 − x k − 1 , y k + 1 = 2 y k... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_triangular_number |
In their modified test, in which the doll was cleaned first, they found a stronger relationship between cleaning the doll's face and the child cleaning its own face. The demonstration with the doll, postulated to demonstrate to the children what to do, may lead to more reliable confirmation of self-recognition.On a mor... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_test |
1973 – Charles W. Misner, Kip S. Thorne and John A. Wheeler publish the treatise Gravitation, a textbook that remains in use in the twenty-first century. 1973 – Stephen W.

Although often assumed to be an acceptable alternative to wheat, spelt flour is not suitable for people with fructose malabsorption, just as it is not appropriate for those with wheat allergies or celiac disease. However, some fructose malabsorbers do not have difficulty with fructans from wheat products while they may... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose_malabsorption |

Beyond being a hero, many critics have seen Swift, through the persona of the Drapier, as the first to organise a "more universal Irish community", although it is disputed as to who constitutes that community. Regardless of to whom Swift is actually appealing what he may or may not have done, the nickname provided by A... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapier's_Letters |
Although far fewer in number than in the past, many Turkish hammams still operate today. With the growth in tourism, some have been restored or modernised recently with differing degrees of historical authenticity. Other hammam buildings have ceased functioning as public baths but have been repurposed as markets or cul... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_baths |
The system automatically creates and manages the tables without any user SQL input. "Historical Scan Classes" support different logging intervals by sets of tags as well as altering the logging rate dynamically. This allows the system to store high resolution history when needed, but lower resolution data for other per... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_Automation |
When pulque haciendas reached their peak in the late 19th century, hacienda life revolved around these tinacals. It typically was a rectangular shed of stone with a wooden roof. The upper parts of the walls opened for air circulation and the façades were sometimes decorated with indigenous designs or other images assoc... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulque |
