Clustering - Clustering Clustering has two different meanings in computer science: In computer hardware, clustering is the connection of many low-cost computers using special software such that they can be used as one larger computer. Clustering can either be used to provide reliability (when one machines fails, the others takes over its workload) or as a means to inexpensively provide large amounts of computing power. In machine learning, clustering is an algorithm that takes a data set of inputs and divides them into equivalence classes, so that every input in a class is "similar" in some way..
Kusanagi - on individual platforms positioned behind a fence with 8 gates. The monster took the bait and put each of its heads through each of the gates. With the necessary distraction provided, Susano attacked and slew the beast. He decapitated each of the heads and then proceeded to the tails. In the fourth tails, he discovered a great sword inside the body with Susan-o which he called Murakakumo-No-Tsurugi (Sword-of-the-village-of-the-clustering-clouds) which he presented to the god, Amaterasu to settle an old grievance. Generations later in the reign of the 12th emperor, Keiko, the sword was given to the great warrior, Yamato-Dake as part of a pair of gifts given by his aunt, Yamato-Hime, to protect his nephew in peril. These gifts came in handy when Yamato-Dake was lured onto an open grassland during.
Virtual Memory System - also runs on the 64-bit Alpha processor, and an upcoming port has been demonstrated on the Itanium processor. OpenVMS also supports clustering (called VAXcluster or later VMScluster), where multiple systems share processing, job queues, print queues, and disk storage, connected either by specialized hardware or Ethernet. An Ethernet-based cluster is called a LAVC, for local area network VMScluster. OpenVMS supports up to 96 nodes in a single cluster. OpenVMS can be divided into three layers the kernel, made up of input/output, memory management, and process/time management subsystems core services, made up of DCL, RMS, DECwindows (OpenVMS's X11 compliant windowing system), and the RTLs utility programs for support, system management, and programming OpenVMS was originally designed by Dave Cutler, who had earlier developed Digital's RSX-11 operating systems. Cutler was hired in 1988.

I Ching hexagram 45 - Ching hexagram 45, depicted :::: is named 萃 (cui4), Clustering. Inner (lower) trigram is ☷ (::: 坤 kun1) Field = (地) earth Outer (upper) trigram is ☱ (: 兌 dui4) Open = (澤) swamp.
Integrin - between intracellular and extracellular scaffolding Among the ligands of integrins are fibronectin and collagen, both part of the extracellular matrix. Ligand binding leads to clustering (cross-connection) of the multivalent components of the integrin to a functional protein complex. Integrins have no intrinsic kinase activity, but associate kinases (for example, focal adhesion kinase, FAK) on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane..
Hydrophobe - makes the whole area around the hydrophobic molecule energetically adverse. As one larger area of this kind is energetically more favourable than two smaller ones, thermodynamics favour hydrophobic molecules clustering together, even though hydrophobic molecules are not actually attracted to another. Both "Hydrophobe" and "hydrophile" entries have the same problem. Hydrophobe is a noun meaning that which fears water. Hydrophobia is a noun meaning the condition of fearing water. Hydrophobic is an adjective meaning "water-fearing." Then, a molecule would have the property of hydrophobia, and would be hydrophobic. Note also: Hydrophobia also means "rabies" in English..
Unsupervised learning - to produce conditional probabilities (i.e., supervised learning) for any of the random variables given the others. Unsupervised learning is also useful for data compression: fundamentally, all data compression algorithms either explicitly or implicitly rely on a probability distribution over a set of inputs. Another form of unsupervised learning is clustering, which is sometimes not probabilistic. Also see formal concept analysis. Bibliography Geoffrey Hinton, Terrence J. Sejnowski (editors) (1999) Unsupervised Learning and Map Formation: Foundations of Neural Computation, MIT Press, ISBN 026258168X (This book focuses on unsupervised learning in neural networks.).
UPGMA - Arithmetic mean) is a simple bottom-up data clustering method used in bioinformatics for the creation of phylogenetic treess. The input data is a collection of objects with their pairwise distances and the output is a rooted tree (dendrogram). It is sometimes used for creating rooted phylogenetic trees under the assumption of a constant evolutionary rate. Initially, each object is in its own cluster. At each step, the nearest two clusters are combined into a higher-level cluster. The distance between any two clusters A and B is taken to be the average of all distances between pairs of objects a in A and b in B. UPGMA is not a well-regarded method for inferring phylogenetic trees unless the constant-rate assumption (molecular clock hypothesis) has been tested and justified for the data set.
Urban structure - this theory is just a refinement on the concentric model rather than a radial restatement. Both Hoyt and Burgess claimed Chicago supported their model. Burgess claimed that Chicago's central business district was surrounded by a series of rings, broken only by Lake Michigan. Hoyt argued that the best housing developed north from the central business district along Lake Michigan, while industry located along major rail lines and roads to the south, southwest, and northwest. Multiple Nuclei Model Geographers C.D. Harris and E. L. Ullman developed the multiple nuclei model in 1945. According to this model a city contains more than one center around which activities revolve. Some activities are attracted to particular nodes while others try to avoid them. For example, a university node may attract well-educated residents, pizzerias, and bookstores,.
Et in Arcadia ego - painting by Nicolas Poussin. Literally it means, "And I (too) in Arcadia." This is a pastoral painting depicting idealized shepherdss from classical antiquity, clustering around an austere tomb. Thus the phrase is in fact a memento mori, and can be interpreted two different ways, either "I, Death, am also in Arcadia;" or "I used to dwell in Arcadia as well." The sentiment was meant to set up an ironic contrast by casting the shadow of death over the usual idle merriment that the nymphs and swains of ancient Arcadia were thought to embody. Et in Arcadia ego by Nicolas Poussin The painting, measuring 122 by 85 cm, is in the Louvre in Paris and also goes under the name "Les bergers d'Arcadie". Poussin made several monochrome and at least one polychrome.
DragonFlyBSD - being made to provide both device and Virtual File System (VFS) messaging capabilities that will allow the remainder of the project goals to be met. The new infrastructure will allow many parts of the kernel to be migrated out into userland, whereby they will be more easily debugged and the system more robust - if a userspace driver crashes, it will not take out the kernel. Other features new to BSD in general include variant symlinks and application checkpointing support. There is now a "Live CD" distribution that boots into a complete DragonFly system. In the future, this will be usable as a recovery CD, an installation CD and as a demo CD. It includes the base system and a complete set of manual pages and will include source code and.
Donald Becker - the Ethernet drivers for the Linux operating system. Becker also created Beowulf clustering while at NASA, using software to connect many inexpensive PCs to solve complex math problems typically reserved for classic supercomputers. A great many Linux computers use his Ethernet drivers to connect to the Internet. Becker is now the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Scyld Computer Corporation of Annapolis, Maryland, a major developer and supplier of Beowulf Clusters..
Datex - (less than 50ms in 90 per cent of cases). Available transfer speeds are 600, 2400, 4800 and 9600b/s for synchronous connections. Additional services offered include direct selection (comparable in function to speed dial, optionally blocking other), blocking of incoming/outgoing calls (all or just international), queuing of incoming connections (useful for services), group numbers (clustering of nodes with a single access number), identification ("Caller ID"), closed groups (like a VPN, all the nodes can hail each other but are otherwise separated from the rest), connection redirection and transferred billing (recipient pays). Billing includes a monthly subscription, a starting fee per connection and a fee per time unit while connected. They vary according to the transfer speed. In Norway, the network was built and maintained by Televerket, a government owned company also in.
AIDS - question the connection between HIV and AIDS, the very existence of HIV, or of an independent AIDS disease. The validity of current testing methods is also questioned. Dissident scientists report that they are usually not invited to attend AIDS conferences and are not granted research funding. Prominent members of this group are virus researcher Peter Duesberg and Nobel Prize laureate Kary Mullis. Their opponents often characterize their position as "AIDS denialism" and believe their public proselytization for their various theories is destructive to the adoption of appropriate preventive and therapeutic measures. See AIDS reappraisal. Origin of the virus HIV is closely related to viruses causing AIDS-like diseases in many primates, and it is generally believed to have been transferred from animals to humans at some time during the early 20th century,.
Anorthosite - other related igneous rocks, but is found in very large deposits in certain locations. Examples of major occurrences are in the American Southwest, Appalachian Mountain chain, southeast Canada, across southern Scandinavia and into Eastern Europe. The occurrences are all of a similar ancient age, 1-2x109 years old, clustering around 1.3x109. Mapped onto the Pangean continental configuration of that era, they are all contained in a single straight belt. The conditions and constrains of this pattern of origin and distribution are not clear. The main economic values of anorthosite bodies is the titanium-bearing mafic minerals. The mafics are also a good source of iron. Workable titanium minerals are easily obtained from placer deposits, thought, and more commercially developed iron ores generally displace anorthosites, making them secondary sources. Anorthosite was prominently represented in.
Apeiron - Anaximander to have sprung from some other species of animals, probably aquatic. But as the measureless and endless had been the prime cause of the motion into separate existences and individual forms, so also, according to the just award of destiny, these forms would at an appointed season suffer the vengeance due to their earlier act of separation, and return into the vague immensity whence they had issued. Thus the world, and all definite existences contained in it, would lose their independence and disappear in the "indeterminate." The blazing orbs, which have drawn off from the cold earth and water, are the temporary gods of the world, clustering round the earth, which, to the ancient thinker, is the central figure..
Autoroute - is a network of 7,000 km worth of highways. Tolls are either based on a flat-rate or on the distance driven. France has the highest set speed for limited access highways (130 km/h) in Western Europe or North America. Unlike the Quebecois Autoroute or the Interstate Highway System, there is no real numbering system, but there is a clustering of Autoroute numbers based on region. A-1, A-3, A-4, A-5, A-6, A-10, A-13, A-14, A-15, A-16 radiate from Paris with A-2 and A-11 branching from A-1 and A-10, respectively. The 20s are found in Northern France. The 30s are found in Eastern France. The 40s are found near the Alps. The 50s are near the French Riviera. The 60s are found in Southern France. The 70s are found in the centre of.
Beowulf - the Saxon epic poem. For the high-performance computer clustering design, see Beowulf (computing). Beowulf is a traditional heroic epic poem in Old English alliterative verse. At 3182 lines, it is far more substantial than any similar work in the language, representing about 10% of the extant corpus of Anglo-Saxon verse. The poem is untitled in the manuscript, but has been known as Beowulf since the early 19th century. It is the oldest surviving epic poem in what is identifiable as a form of the English language. The precise date of the manuscript is debated, but most estimates place it in the 10th century. The original composition of the poem, however, is under more debate. Some archaic forms of words that appear in the text suggest that the poem comes from the.
Capital (architecture) - complete architectural textbook to have survived from classical times, the Ten Books On Architecture, by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, better known just as Vitruvius, dedicated to the emperor Augustus. The various orders are discussed in Vitruvius' books iii and iv. Vitruvius describes Roman practice in a practical fashion. He gives some tales about the invention of each of the Orders, but he does not give a hard-and-fast set of canonical rules for the execution of capitals. Two further, specifically Roman orders of architecture have their characteristic capitals, the sturdy and primitive Tuscan capitals, typically used in military buildings, similar to Greek Doric, but with fewer small moldings in its profile, and the invented Composite capitals not even mentioned by Vitruvius, which combined Ionic volutes and Corinthian acanthus capitals, in an order that.
