There are different meanings for each word that is said in a language. Especially the English language. While Precession may have been looked at as angles of torque for physics or body mechanics; in astronomy precession refers to any of several slow changes in an astronomical body's rotational or orbital parameters. An example would be the steady change in the orientation of the axis of rotation of the Earth. How the earth rotates and what angle it is at changes many things. The sky we see today…

attempting to create the largest stop-motion set at the time. The short film was directed by Will Studd and Ed Patterson from Sumo Science at Aardman, and was used and distributed as a commercial for Nokia. To clarify, I will not attempt to analyze each frame; I will be analyzing the animation as a whole. Describe: Throughout the animation, there is a beige, sand-textured, underlying background. By watching the…

Interestingly, unsuspecting operations like 4k aliasing seem to have an impact on performance of hotspot functions. One obvious solution is to increase cache associated with the CPU to reduce cache misses. Implementing IQA algorithms with locality of reference in mind, helps avoid cache misses. Another solution is to divide images into parts. Perform all operations on that part while in cache and then move to next part. Memory overhead caused due to DTLB can be reduced by using large pages…

As it was demonstrated in Figure 2, the peaks at 1703 and 1727 cm-1 in the MPS-comprising nanohybrids appeared, while the peak at 1745 cm-1 vanished. Through the formation of MPS-comprising nanohybrids, the observation of the new absorption bands (1707 and 1727 cm-1 ) concomitant of the absorption at 1733 cm-1 may be owing to the formation of ester groups through the reaction between carboxylic acid groups of PAA oligomers and silanol groups of silica moieties 12. Besides, in SiO2/PAA hybrids,…

One of the most common questions asked to kids is “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Many times in response to this kids will answer with a typical dream job: “I want to be a Firefighter!” However, we can look at that same kid twenty years down the road and find them in a cubicle slaving over spread sheets as opposed to bursting into burning buildings to save lives.

The patron, however, could easily take one glance at this gargantuan building and easily become overwhelmed, despite the services that this one building contains, such as being combined with…
