The monster stacking design was decided upon during discussions between Chiba and artist Yasuhisa Izumisawa during early development: Izumisawa had created... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Final_Fantasy |
The Illinois Central Railroad— which crossed a bridge just downstream from the dam— was rerouted to cross the top of the dam. The communities of Johnsonville and Springville in Tennessee, and Birmingham in Kentucky were completely inundated by the project. A protective dike was constructed at Big Sandy, Tennessee to pr... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_Dam |
An alternative method is to search directly in (some subset of) the policy space, in which case the problem becomes a case of stochastic optimization. The two approaches available are gradient-based and gradient-free methods. Gradient-based methods (policy gradient methods) start with a mapping from a finite-dimensiona... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement_Learning |
The 1.64 Mbp genome of E. minutum reveals the presences of several genes required for uptake and fermentation of sugars via the Embden–Meyerhof pathway, including several hydrogenases, and an unusual peptide degradation pathway comprising transamination reactions. It also reveals the presence of genes coding for peptid... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elusimicrobium_minutum |
On May 11, 2011, D-Wave Systems announced the D-Wave One, an integrated quantum computer system running on a 128-qubit processor. The processor used in the D-Wave One, code-named "Rainier," performs a single mathematical operation, discrete optimization. Rainier uses quantum annealing to solve optimization problems. Th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Wave_Systems |
These 1 MB alignments ignore prior CHS conventions such as the regular intervals at which partitions begin and end, and the distance between the extended boot records and their logical drives.Other operating systems (perhaps DOS programs used by backup or recovery software), boot loaders, or partitioners may have probl... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_disk |
Many of the kits from the golden age of modeling have been reissued. Not only does this allow the craftsman to build the cars they always wanted (but couldn't obtain or afford), but it tends to lower the prices of the originals. In some cases, models of cars from the 1950s and 1960s have been issued with all-new toolin... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_car |
For instance, together with Bertram Kostant he showed how to use reduction techniques to give a rigorous mathematical treatment of what is known in the physics literature as the BRS quantization procedure. Together with David Kazhdan and Bertram Kostant, he showed how one can simplify the analysis of dynamical systems ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlomo_Sternberg |
Thus, the same concept can appear in different fields of knowledge. This particular feature is usually implemented in UDC by re-using the same concept in various combinations with the main subject, e.g. a code for language in common auxiliaries of language is used to derive numbers for ethnic grouping, individual langu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Decimal_Classification |
With a focus on solar power use in his designs, in 1993 Disch started an initiative to make Sport-Club Freiburg the first solar soccer team in Germany with photovoltaic panels to power their stadium. Together with Coach Volker Finke, the Dreisam stadium in Freiburg was the first soccer stadium in Germany to install sol... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolf_Disch |
