E2 Series Shinkansen - E2 Series Shinkansen The E2 Series Shinkansen are new trains (construction started in 1997) for Japan's Joetsu, Tohoku and Nagano Shinkansen high-speed dedicated rail lines. They are formed in 8 or 10-car sets that can be coupled together with couplers hidden behind sliding nose doors, and can also be coupled to the E3 Series Shinkansen. Their maximum speed is 275 km/h (170mph) although large stretches of the lines on which they run have lower speed limits. E2 Series units are still in production as of 2003 and are scheduled to be built until 2005..

Komachi (Shinkansen) - trains. Between Tokyo and Morioka, it couples with a Tohoku Shinkansen train set E2 Series. After Morioka, the Komachi service continues along former narrow-gauge tracks that have been converted to standard gauge. Because it then runs on tracks that have grade crossings, its maximum speed from Morioka to Akita is 130 km/h, compared to 275 km/h on the first leg. The word komachi (小町) in Japanese means "belle" or "beauty"..
Vector bundle - there is an open neighborhood U, a natural number n, and a homeomorphism φ : U × 'R\'n → π−1(U) such that for every point x in U: πφ(x,v) = x for all vectors v in Rn the map v -> φ(x,v) yields an isomorphism between the vector spaces Rn and π−1({x}). The open neighborhood U together with the homeomorphism φ is called a local trivialization of the bundle. The local trivialization shows that "locally" the map Ï€ looks like the projection of U × Rn on U. A vector bundle is called tivial if there is a "global trivialization", i.e. if it looks like the projection X × Rn → X. Every vector bundle Ï€ : E → X is surjective, since vector spaces cannot be empty. Every fiber π−1({x}).
Joe le Taxi - by accordeonist Rees Wesson (formerly with E2). Quickly established a following as the premier band in the UK playing in the style of John Delafose and Boozoo Chavis. Changes in line-up led to loss of momentum in the late 1990s but the current line-up (since early 2001) has regained their title as "Premier UK Zydeco Band". Appeared at Bury (UK) and Ameland (Netherlands) last year and are booked for Raamsdonksveer, the most prestigious zydeco festival in Europe, in June 2004. [1]cojo.
Vitali set - at first pass. As it turns out, the physically relevant solution is to use measure theory. In this setting, the Lebesgue measure, which assigns weight b-a to the interval [a,b] will assign weight 0 to the set of rational numbers. Any set which has a well-defined weight is said to be "measurable." The construction of the Lebesgue measure (for instance, using the outer measure) does not make obvious whether there are non-measurable sets. Technical discussion Sets which aren't Lebesgue measurable can be detected in a variety of ways. For one, if E is Lebesgue measurable with measure μ(E), then the set E+x, for any real number x, is also Lebesgue measurable, and its measure is also μ(E). This property is called translation invariance. In addition, if E1, E2, ... is a.
Ubiquitin - of a series of steps: Activation of ubiquitin -- the carboxyl group of the terminal glycine of ubiquitin binds to the SH group of an ubiquitin-activating enzyme. This step requires ATP as an energy source and results in a thioester bond between ubiquitin and the enzyme E1. Transfer of ubiquitin from E1 to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 via transacylation. Then, the final transfer of ubiquitin to the target protein can occur either: directly from E2. This is primarily used when ubiquitin is transferred to another ubiquitin already in place, creating a branched ubiquitin chain. or via an E3 enzyme, which binds specifically to both E2 and the target protein. This is the usual way to mark specific proteins for proteolysis. Finally, the marked protein is digested in the 26S-proteasome into small.

Glossary of ring theory - * which is distributive over + and has an identity element 1 with respect to *. The operation + is referred as the addition and * is referred as the multiplication. The identity element with respect to + is written as 0. ;Characteristic : The characteristic of a ring is the smallest positive integer n satisfying n1=0 if it exists and 0 otherwise. In particular ne=0 for all elements e of the ring. Types of elements ; Idempotent : An element e of a ring is idempotent if e2 = e. ; Central : An element r of a ring R is central if xr = rx for all x in R. The set of all central elements forms a subring of R, known as the center of R. ; Nilpotent.
Grade (climbing) - climbs (less then 5 is easier terrain such as scrambling and walking). Grade 5 is split into (originally 10) divisions: 5.1 5.2 ... 5.9 5.10a 5.10b ... 5.11a ... and so on. Symbols such as R and X are used to mark other features: R means runout, some protection placements may be very far apart. X means a chop route, could be extremely dangerous. British grading system The British grading system has two parts: the Adjectival grade and the Technical grade. Many climbs are only given an Adjectival grade, though on indoor walls the Technical grade is the one used. The Adjectival Grade attempts to assess the overall difficultly of the climb taking into account a number of factors: strenuousness, exposure, protection, length, rock quality. It has the following scale: Easy.
Grid chess - tourney. It is by H. Ternblad and was published in the Fairy Chess Review, 1954. It is a helpmate in 4 (black moves first and cooperates with white to checkmate him within 4 moves). The solution is 1.Ke2 Bc4+ 2.Kd3 (note that this brings the king into the same large square as the bishop, and so escapes the check) 2...Bxb5+ (withdrawing the bishop over a grid-line gives check again) 3.Ke4 Bc6+ 4.Kd5 (note that two kings can co-exist next to each other so long as they are in the same large square) 4...Bxb7#. This problem displays attractive correspondence between the paths taken by the king and bishop. It is worth noting the zig-zagging path the black king must take to reach d5 - the straightfoward route Kd1-d2-d3-d4-d5 is not possible because.
Finite element method - torus T. Lu=g with g is some given vector in V. Of course, here L is the differential operator given by: Lf=fxx+fyy L is known as the Laplace operator. We are now looking for a u in V so that Lu=g. Weak formulation Now let φ(u,v) be any functional of V, that is, φ is a function of V to F so that for any t in F and u,v in V: φ(tu+v)=tφ(u)+φ(v) We denote by V* the set of all such functionals. Then, certainly, the following statements are equivalent: Lu=g and For all φ in V*, φ(Lu)=φ(g\) The latter statement is said to be the weak form of our problem. One can think of it as emphasizing that the simple equality φ(Lu)=φ(g) for a single φ in V* is insufficient.
Fractal transform - larger than 4x4 pixels produces a method of stretching images without causing the blockiness or blurriness of traditional linear resampling algorithms. Patents Michael Barnsley and friends own numerous patents in the United States and elsewhere on what this article describes. (These include U.S. Patents 4,941,193, 5,065,447, 5,384,867, 5,416,856, and 5,430,812.) If you live in United States or other country with software patents, you can do fractal compression for research purposes (patent law allows this) but for anything more than that, you would need to get permission from the patent owners. That usually means paying them a license fee to use the technology. See also image compression. based on this E2 writeup.
Free module - a module having a free basis. For an R-module M, the set E = {e1, e2, ... en} is a free basis for M if and only if: 1) E is a generating set for M, that is to say every element of M is a sum of elements of E multiplied by coefficients in R. 2) if r1e1 + r2e2 + ... + rnen = 0, then r1 = r2 = ... = rn = 0 (where 0 is the identity element of M and 0 is the identity element of R). If M has a free basis with n elements, then M is said to be free of rank n, or more generally free of finite rank. Note that an immediate corollary of (2) is that the coefficients in.
