Robert Schumann - of that masquerade." In the winter of 1832 Schumann visited his relations at Zwickau and Schneeburg, in both of which places was performed the first movement of his symphony in G minor, which remains unpublished. In Zwickau the music was played at a concert given by Wieck's daughter Clara, who was then only thirteen. The death of his brother Julius as well as that of his sister-in-law Rosalie in 1833 seems to have affected Schumann with a profound melancholy. By the spring of 1834, however, he had sufficiently recovered to be able to start Die neue Zeitschrift für Musik, the paper in which appeared the greater part of his critical writings. The first number was published on the 3rd of April 1834. It effected a revolution in the taste of the.
Personal Digital Assistant - a simple calculator. One major advantage of using PDAs is their ability to synchronize data with desktop, notebook and desknote computers. The term personal digital assistant was coined on 7 January 1992 by John Sculley at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, referring to the Apple Newton. The currently major PDA operating systems are: Linux, PalmSource's Palm OS, Pocket PC from Microsoft, and Symbian OS (formerly EPOC) Some examples of PDAs: Apple Newton Casio Cassiopeia Franklin eBookMan Handspring Visor hp iPAQ Pocket PC (Originally Compaq iPAQ until HP merger in 2002) Nokia Series60 Palm Pilot, Tungsten and Zire Sharp Wizard and Zaurus Sony CLIE Xircom REX 5000 and REX 6000 See also: ebook, laptop, personal area network, sub-notebook, telephone, wearable computer.
Pocket PC - with scaled-down versions of many popular desktop applications, including Microsft Internet Explorer, Word, Excel, Windows Media Player, and others. Windows Mobile runs on top of Windows CE, a special version of Microsoft's windows operating system that has been re-designed for use on limited platforms such as PDAs, sub-notebook computers, and integrated devices. The most current version of Windows Mobile runs on top of Windows CE.NET 4.2. Past Pocket PC operating systems include Pocket PC 2002 (launched October 2001) and Pocket PC 2000 (launched April 2000), both running Windows CE 3.0 underneath. Pocket PCs are manufactured and sold by several different companies; the major manufacturers include HP, Toshiba, ViewSonic and Dell. In Mid-2003, Gateway and JVC announced that they too are releasing Pocket PCs. Prices in 2003 ranged from around $800 USD.
Microsoft Windows - statements) now regard security as the number one priority. Thus far, there is no implementation that signals the new emphasis is bearing fruit. However, there has been heavy speculation about the controversial Palladium system to tie software and the data in it to hardware that Microsoft may implement in later versions of Windows. Contemporary Versions Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 are the current versions of Windows. Windows XP is designed for desktop computers, while Windows Server 2003 is designed for servers and comes in four different versions: Web Edition, Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition and Datacenter Edition. Web Edition is designed mostly for web hosting, while Datacenter is the flagship product for extremely high end infrastructure. Standard and Enterprise fall in the middle. Initiatives Microsoft has a number of new initiatives.
Ko-hyoteki class submarine - one 300-pound scuttling charge (big enough not only to destroy the sub but to disable any ship it was near) The ko-hyoteki (甲標的, "Type 'A' Target") class of Japanese midget submarines had no names, but were referred to by the designations of their "mother" I-16 class submarines, plus the suffix "tou" (艟). Thus, the midget carried by I-16 was known as I-16tou. They also had hull numbers beginning with the character "ha" (は), which can only be seen on a builder's plate inside the hull. They carried one commander and one crewman. Twenty ko-hyoteki were built. The "Type 'A' Target" name was assigned as a ruse -- if their design was prematurely discovered by Japan's foes, the Japanese Navy could insist that the vessels were battle practice targets. The first two,.
Japanese submarine I-52 - -- and the boat diving. Taylor dropped a sonobouy, a newly-developed device that picked up underwater noise and transmitted it back to the aircraft carrier. Directed from the carrier according to the sonobouy's signal, Taylor began a torpedo attack, dropping a Mark 24 "mine." That term was used for what was code-named "Fido": the first Allied acoustic torpedo, developed by the Harvard Underwater Sound Lab, which homed in on the sounds of the submarine. Fido was designed to be a "mission kill" weapon -- it would damage the submarine so badly it would have to surface, rather than destroying it completely. Within minutes, the sonobouys transmitted the sounds of an explosion and mechanical break-up noises. As Commander Taylor's watch ended, the operators on Bogue and Taylor all thought he had sunk.
Irish farm subdivision - century, Irish tenant farm holdings underwent a cultural tradition of sub-division, whereby the tenant's land was divided equally between all the sons, both legitimate and illegitimate, on his death. The result was that by the 1840s, many farms had become so small that the only food source that could be grown in sufficient quantity to feed a family was potatoes. This was to have disastrous effects when, in the period 1847-49 potato blight struck, making much of the potatoes grown inedible. This period came to be known as the Great Famine and cost the lives of well over half a million people. Subsequently, a change in the law required that the tenancy go to only one legitimate son. With the wholecale deaths and largescale emigration of the period, farm sizes had.

Hard disk - workstation hard disk might store between 60 GB and 120 GB of data, rotate at 5400 to 10,000 rpm (revolutions per minute), and have an average transfer rate of about 30 MByte/sec. The fastest workstation hard drives spin at 15,000 rpm. Notebook hard drives are generally smaller and slower than their desktop counterparts, they spin usually at 4200 rpm. Hard disk hardware Typical hard drives of the mid-1990s. () The disk drive is a type of disk storage that stores and retrieves digital data from a planar magnetic surface. Information is written to the disk by transmitting an electromagnetic flux through an antenna or write head that is very close to a magnetically polarizable material that changes its polarization due to the flux. The information can be read back.

Kalto - them that destroyed their tribal independence. Their tribal area is just south of the Tapti river, around the village of Tembi in Nimar district of Chota Nagpur, Madhya Pradesh. Kalto is possibly related to another near-extinct remnant of the Indian linguistic sub-stratum, namely Kusunda, spoken in southwest Nepal. Michael Witzel of Harvard asserts, quoting Shafer and Kuiper, a relationship to Ainu.
Katharine Lee Bates - pastor, she graduated from Wellesley College in 1880 and for many years was a professor of English literature at Wellesley. The first draft of America the Beautiful was hastily jotted in a notebook during the summer of 1893, which Miss Bates spent teaching in Colorado. Later she remembered, "One day some of the other teachers and I decided to go on a trip to 14,000-foot Pikes Peak. We hired a prairie wagon. Near the top we had to leave the wagon and go the rest of the way on mules. I was very tired. But when I saw the view, I felt great joy. All the wonder of America seemed displayed there, with the sea-like expanse." The words to her one famous poem first appeared in print in The Congregationalist, a.
Vector quantization - of lower dimension. The lower-space vector requires less storage space and the data is thus compressed. The transformation into the sub-space is usually achieved through projection, or by using a code-book. See also: speech coding.
Vector processor - watching a short QuickTime video as did all of the supercomputers in the 1970's. Vector processor elements have since been added to almost all modern CPU designs, although they are typically referred to as SIMD. In these implementations the vector processor runs beside the main scalar CPU, and is fed data from programs that know it's there. Description In general terms, CPUs are able to manipulate one or two pieces of data at a time. For instance, every CPU has an instruction that essentially says "add A to B and put the result in C". The data for A, B and C could be - in theory at least - encoded directly into the instruction. However things are never that simple. In fact the data is rarely sent in raw form,.
Ketamine - surgery -- particularly to aid in the handling of difficult cats, rabbits, and rats. Ketamine depresses respiratory and circulatory functions less than other anesthetics do. When used in anesthetic doses, it sometimes stimulates the circulatory system rather than depresses it. It is sometimes possible to perform ketamine anesthesia without protective measures to the airways. Ketamine is also a potent analgesic and can be used in sub-anesthetic doses to relieve acute pain; however, its psychotropic properties must be taken into account. There is research going on in its usefulness in pain therapy and for the treatment of alcoholism and heroin addiction. Ketamine is a Schedule III drug in the United States, and is used in many other countries, such as Mexico. Patients sometimes reported going into other worlds or seeing god while.
