Generator (computer programming)
The Golden ratio generator below returns to each invocation 'goldenRatio next' a better approximation to the Golden Ratio. goldenRatio := Generator on: [ :g | | x y z r | x := 0. y := 1. [ z := x + y. r := (z / y) asFloat. x := y. y := z. g yield: r ] repeat ]. goldenRatio next. The expression below r...

The Wealth of Networks
Another criticism of Benkler's theory is that so much focus is given to the potential of peer-production and innovation in the networked information economy, but little to no attention spent addressing issues related to the physical hardware required to keep the network that Benkler's theories rely on up and running. ...

Fossil fuel power station
Radioactive trace elements Coal is a sedimentary rock formed primarily from accumulated plant matter, and it includes many inorganic minerals and elements which were deposited along with organic material during its formation. As the rest of the Earth's crust, coal also contains low levels of uranium, thorium, and other...

Mathematical and theoretical biology
Interest in the field has grown rapidly from the 1960s onwards. Some reasons for this include: The rapid growth of data-rich information sets, due to the genomics revolution, which are difficult to understand without the use of analytical tools Recent development of mathematical tools such as chaos theory to help un...

Concatenated error correction code
In his doctoral thesis, Dave Forney showed that concatenated codes could be used to achieve exponentially decreasing error probabilities at all data rates less than capacity, with decoding complexity that increases only polynomially with the code block length. Description Let Cin be a [n, k, d] code, that is, a block c...

Lint (software)
Overview The analysis performed by lint-like tools can also be performed by an optimizing compiler, which aims to generate faster code. In his original 1978 paper, Johnson addressed this issue, concluding that "the general notion of having two programs is a good one" because they concentrated on different things, there...

Cycle (graph theory)
Programming The following example in the Programming language C# shows one implementation of an undirected graph using Adjacency lists. The undirected graph is declared as class UndirectedGraph. Executing the program uses the Main method, which - if one exists - prints the shortest, non-trivial cycle to the console.usi...
