3D Engines. Brain bomb. People maligning a modern diet tend to poke fingers at the the last 30 - 40 years. During this time obesity became a majority issue in the United States, and diabetes and metabolic syndrome afflicted many millions. However, from a nutritional perspective, diets 100 years ago weren’t that terrific either. Obesity was uncommon, but among certain populations, major vitamin and mineral deficiencies were rampant and deadly. Today, it's rare to see scurvy or other famously maritime deficiency diseases aside from serious long-term alcoholics or eating disordered individuals. One of the more dangerous deficiencies to our brains (and one found not uncommonly in alcoholics) is thiamine deficiency , also known as Wernike's Encephalopathy (and if you are very unlucky, Korsakoff's Psychosis). Wikipedia Commons Alcohol interferes with the intestinal absorption of thiamine, so that people who obtain the majority of their calories from alcohol are unlikely to get quite enough thiamine.

Yikes! Cha_cha routine. Construct filters. Previous article in the series: A Quick Overview of MSAA Despite having the flexibility to implement a custom resolve for MSAA, the “standard” box filter resolve is still commonly used in games. While the box filter works well enough, it has some characteristics that can be considered undesirable for a reconstruction filter.

In particular, the box function has a discontinuity at its edge that results in an infinite frequency response (the frequency domain equivalent of a box function is the sinc function). This causes it to introduce postaliasing when used as a reconstruction filter, since the filter is unable to isolate the original copy of a signal’s spectrum. The question we now want to answer is “can we do better?” At this point I feel that I should bring up TXAA. Implementation The sample application renders my trusty tank scene in HDR to an fp16 render target with either 1x, 2x, 4x, or 8x MSAA enabled. Here’s a full list of all options that I implemented: Results Conclusions. Cpcbarinka. Crazy kids. Flash orders. Geometric modeling. Le GTMG est ouvert à toutes les personnes intéressées par la problématique de la modélisation géométrique. Actuellement (avril 2011), 16 équipes de différents laboratoires y participent.

Cela représente environ 130 chercheurs permanents (99% d'enseignants-chercheurs des universités, 1% de chargés de recherches CNRS) et 49 chercheurs non-permanents (doctorants, post-doctorants). Le GTMG est un groupe de travail des groupes de recherche Informatique Mathématique (GDR IM) et Informatique Graphique (GDR IG) du CNRS. Il est aussi soutenu par deux associations l'AFIG (Association Française d'Informatique Graphique) et le Chapitre Français d'Eurographics.

En particulier les différents thèmes du GTMG sont : Modélisation sous contraintesModélisation géométrique de courbes et surfacesModélisation géométrique à base topologiqueMétamorphoses et déformationsModélisation multirésolutionReconstructionMéthodes formelles pour la modélisation géométrique.

AI research is highly technical and specialized, and is deeply divided into subfields that often fail to communicate with each other.[5] Some of the division is due to social and cultural factors: subfields have grown up around particular institutions and the work of individual researchers. AI research is also divided by several technical issues. Some subfields focus on the solution of specific problems. Others focus on one of several possible approaches or on the use of a particular tool or towards the accomplishment of particular applications. The central problems (or goals) of AI research include reasoning, knowledge, planning, learning, natural language processing (communication), perception and the ability to move and manipulate objects.[6] General intelligence is still among the field's long-term goals.[7] Currently popular approaches include statistical methods, computational intelligence and traditional symbolic AI.

El texto de referencia en vigor para manejar los crímenes de "incitación a las cosas turbias", según los llamaba el Código Canónico de 1917, fue publicado por el Vaticano en 1922, a través de una instrucción especial y completamente secreta, firmada por Pío XI y titulada Crimen sollicitationis (delitos de insinuación). El documento imponía un "vínculo absoluto de secreto" tanto para las causas abiertas como para lo relativo al propio documento.

Los imputados, pero también las víctimas y los testigos, se arriesgaban a la excomunión si hablaban, y las actas debían ser destruidas. 40 años más tarde, en 1962, el cardenal Alfredo Ottaviani revisó aquel texto y años después, el Vaticano renovó el Código de Derecho Canónico en 1983, y el de las Iglesias Orientales en 1990. Como consecuencia, la Congregación para la Doctrina de la Fe actualizó y revisó parcialmente en 2001 la Crimen sollicitationis con una carta secreta firmada por Joseph Ratzinger, prefecto, y Tarcisio Bertone, secretario.

Udacity gives students videos that they can watch at their own pace and be continually quizzed on.

This past August fellow Singularity Hub writer Aaron Saenz wrote about Udacity, the online university created by Stanford artificial intelligence professor and Google autonomous vehicle leader, Sebastian Thrun. At the time Thrun was gearing up to teach his Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course to a class of 200 at Stanford. But why teach 200 when you can teach 1,000…or 160,000? With Udacity, Thrun and fellow AI giant Peter Norvig created an online version of the course, and anyone that wanted to enroll could – for free. The homework assignments and exams would be the same as the ones given to the Stanford students, and they would be graded in the same way so online enrollees could see how they stacked up to some of the brightest students in the world. Now, the semester’s over. Online, the course went viral. The flexibility that this format offers is immediately clear. Some songs. Strat quant. Exit les « golden boys » : avec l'essor du trading haute fréquence, les scientifiques remplacent les opérateurs traditionnels.Il n'y a pas que le sujet des bonus qui suscite immédiatement un « no comment » dans les banques.

Dans le domaine de la « haute fréquence », les établissements tiennent aussi à la discrétion sur leurs stratégies et leurs équipes. Pourtant, cette activité en plein essor, sous-catégorie du trading algorithmique, qui permet de passer des ordres très rapidement grâce à des programmes informatiques, fait considérablement évoluer le profil du trader classique. Stéphane Leroy, directeur marketing et ventes de QuantHouse, fournisseur de technologies liées au trading algorithmique, estime que le trader « humain » ne va pas disparaître de la salle des marchés, mais son rôle se transforme : « Nous assistons aujourd'hui à la transition du ‘trading' humain vers le ‘trading' systématique.

Mutation technologique Gare aux appâts. Tacovampire. Taxo Bloom. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La roue de la taxonomie de Bloom. La taxonomie de Bloom est un modèle pédagogique proposant une classification des niveaux d'acquisition des connaissances[1]. Benjamin Bloom, bien qu'il n'en soit pas le seul créateur (34 universitaires américains participent aux conférences de 1949 à 1953), est souvent reconnu comme le « père » de cet outil[2],[3]. Description[modifier | modifier le code] La taxonomie organise l'information de façon hiérarchique, de la simple restitution de faits jusqu'à la manipulation complexe des concepts, qui est souvent mise en œuvre par les facultés cognitives dites supérieures[4].

Composition[modifier | modifier le code] La taxonomie des objectifs éducationnels selon Bloom. Elle peut être résumée en six niveaux, chaque niveau supérieur englobant les niveaux précédents. Révision[modifier | modifier le code] Ainsi en 2001 une taxonomie révisée de Bloom a été proposée par plusieurs auteurs dont Lorin W. Taxonomie de van Hiele. Tik tok. Trends and_cuts. "Thomson [Thomson Reuters] makes the proprietary bibliography software EndNote, and claims that Zotero is causing its commercial business 'irreparable harm' and is wilfully and intentionally destroying Thomson's customer base. In particular, Thomson is demanding that GMU stop distributing the newer beta-version of Zotero that allegedly allows EndNote's proprietary data format for storing journal citation styles to be converted into an open-standard format readable by Zotero and other software.

Thomson claims that Zotero 'reverse engineered or decompiled' not only the format, but also the EndNote software itself. ... Litigation, which may go to a jury trial, is pending, so judging this case on its legal merits would be premature. But on a more general level, the virtues of interoperability and easy data-sharing among researchers are worth restating. (Nature, p.708) Tutos Maya. Venceslasbiri.
