Computing

T /T/ 1. [from LISP terminology for `true'] Yes. Used in reply to a question (particularly one asked using The -P convention). In LISP, the constant T means `true', among other things. Some Lisp hackers use `T' and `NIL' instead of `Yes' and `No' almost reflexively. This sometimes causes misunderstandings. When a waiter or flight attendant asks whether a hacker wants coffee, he may absently respond `T', meaning that he wants coffee; but of course he will be brought a cup of tea instead. Fortunately, most hackers (particularly those who frequent Chinese restaurants) like tea at least as well as coffee -- so it is not that big a problem. 2. See time T (also since time T equals minus infinity). 3. [techspeak] In transaction-processing circles, an abbreviation for the noun `transaction'. 4. [Purdue] Alternate spelling of tee. 5. A dialect of LISP developed at Yale. (There is an intended allusion to NIL, "New Implementation of Lisp", another dialect of Lisp developed for the VAX). Source: Jargon File.

Literature

T in music, stands for Tutti (all), meaning all the instruments or voices are to join. It is the opposite of S for Solo.
-t- inserted with a double hyphen between a verb ending with a vowel and the pronouns elle, il, or on, is called "t ephelcystic," as, aime-t-il, dire-t-on. (See N, Marks In Grammar.)
Marked with a T. Criminals convicted of felony, and admitted to the benefit of clergy, were branded on the brawn of the thumb with the letter T (thief). The law was abolished by 7 and 8 George IV., c. 27.
It fits to a T. Exactly. The allusion is to work that mechanics square with a T-rule, especially useful in making right angles, and in obtaining perpendiculars on paper or wood.
The saintly T's. Sin Tander, Sin Tantony, Sin Tawdry, Sin Tausin, Sin Tedmund, and Sin Telders; otherwise St. Andrew, St. Anthony, St. Audry, St. Austin [Augustine], St. Edmund, and St. Ethelred. Tooley is St. Olaf. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.

Missing Persons

The number of missing people grew to estimates as high as over 6000 in the months following the attack, but steadily declined as stories were checked and duplicate entries removed. (See Timeline of WTC missing).

As of August 2002, there were approximately 90 people who were officially missing; that is, their remains had not been identified and no family members had requested a death certificate.

Detailed listing.

Survivors

The great majority of the over 40,000 people working at the World Trade Center at the time of the attack evacuated safely, including 18 who escaped from above the impact zone in the second tower hit. By 9/20/2001 6291 people, including rescue and recovery workers, had been treated for injuries.

Detailed listing.

Pentagon

The Pentagon reports 125 staffers killed or missing, with 121 remains recovered and identified, as of Sept. 11, 2002. At least one person died later as a result of wounds incurred.

The listing and memorial.

Missing Persons

The Pentagon reports 4 staffers missing. One passenger on the airliner which hit the Pentagon was also never identified.

Detailed listing.

Survivors

88 treated at hospital.

Detailed entry.

Victim legends

Due to the very large number of World Trade Center casualties and missing persons, victim legends were a common form of September 11, Terrorist Attack urban legends. These were tales of victims who did not exist, spread by word-of-mouth and the Internet. Official sites, such as http://www.september11victims.com, contain accurate entries and are trusted content. Because Wikipedia, and many other websites allowed freely adding victims, there were no doubt many obvious fake entries. Fake victims added to these lists were often simply missing at the time of the attacks, or actually survivors of the attacks.

Half-life

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for half of the atoms in a pure sample of the isotope to decay into another element. It is a measure of the stability of an isotope; the shorter the half life, the less stable the atom. The decay of an atom is said to be spontaneous as one can only determine the probability of decay and not predict when an individual atom will decay. (Refer to the last section on the generalization of the concept of half-life to other scientific subjects)

All the atoms of a particular radioactive species have the same probability of disintegrating in a given time, so that an appreciable sample of radioactive material, containing many millions of atoms, always changes or disintegrates at the same rate. This rate at which the material changes is expressed in terms of the half-life, the time required for one half the atoms initially present to disintegrate, which is constant for any particular isotope.

Half-lives of radioactive materials range from fractions of a second for the most unstable to billions of years for those which are only slightly unstable. Decay is said to occur in the parent nucleus and produce a daughter nucleus. Decay from a parent to a daughter nucleus may produce alpha, beta particles, and neutrinos. Gamma radiation may be produced as the nucleus is de-excited but this is only after the alpha or beta decay has taken place. Radioactive decay results in a mass loss, which is converted to energy (the disintegration energy) according to the formula E = mc2. Often, the daughter nucleus is also radioactive, and so on down the line for several successive generations of nuclei until a stable one is finally reached. The three such naturally occurring series are shown in the following table:

Natural Radioactive Elements
Series Starting Isotope Half-Life (years) Stable End Product
Radium U-238 4.47x109 Pb-206
Actinium U-235 7.04x108 Pb-207
Thorium Th-232 1.41x1010 Pb-208

Note: there are naturally occurring radioactive isotopes (such as C-14) but they are not part of a series.

Other applications of the half-life concept

The concept of half life is not restricted to the decay of radioactive nuclei. The law is also useful in many processes where the rate of change of some property of a system depends itself on this property. In some chemical reactions, the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of a particular reactant. During the course of the reaction this concentration decreases, causing the rate of reaction also to go down. It is found that the time taken for the rate of reaction to halve is constant, if the reactant is said to be first order with respect to the rate. Enzyme-catalyzed reactions fall into this category.

Half life is also important in calculating populations, although it is only applicable where the resources available to the population remain surplus to the needs. In these situations the population and its demands increase rapidly, so in reality the resources are always a limiting factor.

Kolmogorov space

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In topology and related branches of mathematics, the T0 spaces or Kolmogorov spaces form a broad class of well behaved topological spaces. The T0 condition is one of the separation axioms.

Topological distinguishability

To define T0 spaces, we first define the concept of topologically distinguishable points. If X is a topological space and x and y are points in X, then x and y are topologically indistinguishable if and only if they have exactly the same neighbourhoodss. Otherwise, they are topologically distinguishable. For example, in an indiscrete space, any two points are topologically indistinguishable.

Alternatively, if x belongs to the closure of {y} and y belongs to the closure of {x}, then x and y are topologically indistinguishable; otherwise, they're topologically distinguishable. Topologically distinguishable points are automatically distinct. On the other hand, if the singleton sets {x} and {y} are separated, then the points x and y must be topologically distinguishable. (This is how the T0 axiom fits in with the rest of the separation axioms.)

Definition

The definition of a T0 space is now simple; X is T0 if and only if every pair of distinct points is topologically distinguishable.

This definition may also be formulated as follows: X is a T0 space if and only if for any two distinct points in X there exists an open subset of X which contains one of the points but not the other. This characterisation should be contrasted with an analogous characterisation of T1 spacess, where one can specify beforehand which points will belong to the open set.

T0 is nice

Almost every topological space studied in ordinary mathematics is T0. Indeed, when mathematicians in many fields, notably analysis, naturally run across non-T0 spaces, they usually replace them with T0 spaces, in a manner described below.

In general, when dealing with a fixed topology T on a set X, it's helpful if that topology is T0. On the other hand, when X is fixed but T is allowed to vary within certain boundaries, it can be annoying to force T to be T0, since the non-T0 topologies are often important special cases. Thus, it can be important to understand both T0 and non-T0 versions of the various conditions that can be placed on a topological space.

To motivate the ideas involved, let's consider a well known example. The space L2(R) is meant to be the space of all measurable functions f from the real line R to the complex plane C such that the Lebesgue integral of |f(x)|2 over the entire real line not only exists but also is finite. This space should become a normed vector space by defining the norm ||f|| to be the square root of that integral. The problem is that this is not really a norm, only a seminorm, because there are functions other than the zero function whose (semi)norms are zero. The standard solution is to define L2(R) to be a set of equivalence classes of functions instead of a set of functions directly. This constructs a quotient space of the original seminormed vector space, and this quotient is a normed vector space. It inherits several nice properties from the seminormed space, as we will see below.

Both the problem and the solution are reflected at the level of the topologies defined by the norm and seminorm. If a function's seminorm is zero, then it's topologically indistinguishable from the zero function. More generally, functions are identified in the construction of the quotient space precisely when they are topologically indistinguishable in the original seminormed space.

The Kolmogorov quotient

The general construction is the Kolmogorov quotient. Topological indistinguishability of points is an equivalence relation. No matter what topological space X might be to begin with, the quotient space under this equivalence relation is always T0. This quotient space is the Kolmogorov quotient of X, which we will denote KQ(X). Of course, if X was T0 to begin with, then KQ(X) and X are naturallyly homeomorphic.

Topological spaces X and Y are Kolmogorov equivalent iff their Kolmogorov quotients are homeomorphic. The nice thing about Kolmogorov equivalence is that many properties of topological spaces are preserved by this equivalence; that is, if X and Y are Kolmogorov equivalent, then X has such a property iff Y does. On the other hand, most of the other properties of topological spaces imply T0-ness; that is, if X has such a property, then X must be T0. Only a few properties, such as being an indiscrete space, are exceptions to this rule of thumb. Even better, many structuress defined on topological spaces can be transferred between X and KQ(X). The result is that, if you have a non-T0 topological space with a certain structure or property, then you can usually form a T0 space with the same structures and properties by taking the Kolmogorov quotient.

The example of L2(R) displays these nice features. From the point of view of topology, the seminormed vector space that we started with has a lot of extra structure; for example, it's a vector space, and it has a seminorm, and these define a pseudometric and a uniform structure that are compatible with the topology. Also, there are several properties of these structures; for example, the seminorm satisfies the parallelogram identity and the uniform structure is complete. When we form the Kolmogorov quotient, the actual L2(R), these structures and properties are preserved. Thus, L2(R) is also a complete seminormed vector space satisfying the parallelogram identity. But we actually get a bit more, since the space is now T0. A seminorm is a norm iff the underlying topology is T0, so L2(R) is actually a complete normed vector space satisfying the parallelogram identity -- otherwise known as a Hilbert space. And it is a Hilbert space that mathematicians (and physicists, in quantum mechanics) generally want to study.

Removing T0

You may notice that, although norms were historically defined first, people came up with the definition of seminorm as well, which is a sort of non-T0 version of a norm. In general, it is possible to define non-T0 versions of both properties and structures of topological spaces. First, consider a property of toplogical spaces, such as being Hausdorff. One can then define another property of topological spaces by defining the space X to satisfy the property if and only if the Kolmogorov quotient KQ(X) is Hausdorff. This is a sensible, albeit less famous, property; in this case, such a space X is called preregular. (There even turns out to be a more direct definition of preregularity.) Now consider a structure that can be placed on topological spaces, such as a metric. We can define a new structure on topological spaces by letting an example of the structure on X be simply a metric on KQ(X). This is a sensible structure on X; it is a pseudometric. (Again, there is a more direct definition of pseudometric.)

In this way, there is a natural way to remove T0-ness from the requirements for a property or structure. It's generally easier to study spaces that are T0, but it may also be easier to allow structures that aren't T0 to get a fuller picture. The T0 requirement can be added or removed at will, using the concept of Kolmogorov quotient.

Student's t-distribution

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Student was the pseudonym of William Sealey Gosset (1876-1937), who, in 1908, published a pseudonymous paper showing that a certain probability distribution, now conventionally called Student's distribution or the t-distribution, arises in the problem of estimating the mean of a normally distributed population when the sample size is small. (Perhaps a "pure" mathematician would say "... when the sample size is small and the standard deviation is unknown and has to be estimated from the data." In practice the standard deviation of the population is always unknown and must be estimated from the data. Textbook problems treating the standard deviation as if it were known are of two kinds: (1) those in which the sample size is so large that one may treat a data-based estimate as if it were certain, and (2) those that illustrate mathematical reasoning; the problem of estimating the standard deviation is temporarily ignored because that is not the point that the author or instructor is then explaining.)

Suppose X1, ..., Xn are independent random variables that are normally distributed with expected value μ and variance σ2. Let

be the "sample mean", and
be the "sample variance". It is readily shown that
is normally distributed with mean 0 and variance 1. Student found the probability distribution of
that distribution is "the t-distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom."

Clearly this distribution does not depend on the values of μ or σ. Its expected value is 0 and its variance is (n-1)/(n-3).

The interval whose endpoints are

where A is an appropriate percentage-point of the t-distribution, is a confidence interval for μ. The formula for the probability density function of the t-distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom is known and these confidence intervals can therefore be readily computed once the sample mean and sample variance have been determined.

The overall shape of the probability density function of the t-distribution resembles the bell shape of a normally distributed variable with mean 0 and variance 1, except that it is a bit lower and wider. As the number of degrees of freedom grows, the t-distribution approaches the normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.

T1 space

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In topology and related branches of mathematics, T1 spaces and R0 spaces are particularly nice kinds of topological spaces. The T1 and R0 properties are examples of separation axioms.

A T1 space is also called an accessible space or a Fréchet space and a R0 space is also called an symmetric space.

Definitions

A topological space X is T1 if and only if either of the following equivalent conditions is satisfied:

X is R0 if and only if either of the following conditions is satisfied: As before, the above conditions are equivalent.

A space is T1 if and only if it's both R0 and T0 (which says that topologically indistinguishable points must be equal). Conversely, a space is R0 if and only if its Kolmogorov quotient (which identifies topologially indistinguishable points) is T1.

Do not confuse the term "Fréchet topology", which is equivalent to "T1 topology", with the term "Fréchet space" which refers to an entirely different notion from functional analysis.

Examples

The Zariski topology on an algebraic variety is T1. To see this, note that a point with local coordinates (c1,...,cn) is the zero set of the polynomials x1-c1, ..., xn-cn. Thus, the point is closed. However, this example is well known as a space that is not Hausdorff (T2).

For a more concrete example, let's look at the cofinite topology on an infinite set. Specifically, let X be the set of integers, and define the open sets OA to be those subsets of X which contain all but a finite subset A of X. Then given distinct integers x and y:

so the resulting space is T1 by each of the definitions above. This space is not T2, because the intersection of any two open sets OA and OB is OA∪B, which is never empty. Alternatively, the set of even integers is compact but not closed, which would be impossible in a Hausdorff space.

We can modify this example slightly to get an R0 space that is neither T1 nor R1. Let X be the set of integers again, and using the definition of OA from the previous example, define a basis of open sets Gx for any integer x to be Gx = O{x, x+1} if x is an even number, and Gx = O{x-1, x} if x is odd. Then the open sets of X are, unionss of the basis sets

UA := ∪x in A Gx.
The resulting space is not T0 (and hence not T1), because the points x and x + 1 (for x even) are topologically indistinguishable; but otherwise it is essentially equivalent to the previous example.

Generalisations to other kinds of spaces

The terms "T1", "R0", and their synonyms can also be applied to such variations of topological spaces as uniform spaces, Cauchy spaces, and convergence spaces. The characteristic that unites the concept in all of these examples is that limits of fixed ultrafilters (or constant netss) are unique (for T1 spaces) or unique up to topological indistinguishability (for R0 spaces).

As it turns out, uniform spaces, and more generally Cauchy spaces, are always R0, so the T1 condition in these cases reduces to the T0 condition. But R0 alone can be an interesting condition on other sorts of convergence spaces, such as pretopological spaces.

Television

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Television is a telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound over a distance. The term has come to refer to all the aspects of television programming and transmission as well.

History

A semi-mechanical analogue television system was first demonstrated in London in February 1924 by John Logie Baird and a moving picture by Baird on October 30 1925. The first long distance public television broadcast was from Washington, DC to New York City and occurred on April 7, 1927. The image shown was of then Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover. A fully electronic system was demonstrated by Philo Taylor Farnsworth in the autumn of 1927. The first analogue service was WGY, Schenectady, New York inaugurated on May 11 1928. CBS's New York City station began broadcasting the first regular seven days a week television schedule in the U. S. on July 21, 1931. The first broadcast included Mayor James J. Walker, Kate Smith, and George Gershwin. The first all-electronic television service was started in Los Angeles, CA by Don Lee Broadcasting. Their start date was December 23, 1931 on W6XAO - later KTSL. Los Angeles was the only major U. S. city that avoided the false start with mechanical television.

The first live transcontinental television broadcast took place in San Francisco, California from the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference on September 4, 1955.

Programming is broadcast on television stations (sometimes called channels). At first, terrestrial broadcasting was the only way television could be distributed. Because bandwidth was limited, government regulation was normal. In the US, the Federal Communications Commission allowed stations to broadcast advertisements, but insisted on public service programming commitments as a requirement for a license. By contrast, the United Kingdom chose a different route, imposing a television licence fee (effectively a tax) to fund the BBC, which had public service as part of its Crown Charter. Development of cable and satellite means of distribution in the 1970s pushed businessmen to target channels towards a certain audience, and enabled the rise of subscription-based television channels, such as HBO and Sky. Practically every country with the technological capability has developed at least one television channel.

TV standards

The standard adopted by the US was called NTSC, which stood for National Television Standards Committee. NTSC is the television standard in the US, Canada, and Japan.

Germany developed the television standard called PAL, which stood for Phase Alternating Line, and introduced it in 1967. PAL is the television standard in the United Kingdom, much of Europe, Africa, Australia, and some parts of South America.

The French developed in 1967 the television standard called SECAM, Sequentiel Couleur avec Mémoire, French for "sequential color with memory". The SECAM standard was used mostly in France and Eastern European "Warsaw Pact" countries.

There are various kinds of television broadcast systems:

TV aspect ratio

All of these early TV systems shared the same aspect ratio of 4:3, which was determined by the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) manufacturing technology of the time -- today's CRT technology allows the manufacture of wider tubes. However, due to the negative heavy metal health effects associated with disposal of CRTs in landfills and the space-saving attributes of flat screen technologies that lack the aspect ratio limitations of CRTs, CRTs are becoming obsolete.

The switch-over to DTV systems co-incides with a change in picture format from a aspect ratio of 4:3 (1.33:1) to an aspect ratio of 16:9 (1.78:1). This enables TV to get closer to the aspect ratio of movies, which range from 1.85:1 to 2.35:1. The 16:9 format was first introduced for "widescreen" video and DVDs. The current technical implementation of 16:9 uses the same pixel raster as 4:3 video, in a full screen anamorphic format.

There is no technical reason for this aspect ratio change to be coupled with the introduction of DTV, but it has been decided to synchronize these changes for marketing reasons.

Aspect ratio incompatibility

A wide image on a conventional screen can be shown:

A conventional image on a wide screen can be shown: A common compromise is to shoot or create material at an aspect ratio of 14:9, and to lose some image at each side for 4:3 presentation, and some image at top and bottom for 16:9 presentation.

Horizontal expansion has advantages in situations in which several people are watching the same set; it compensates for watching at an oblique angle.

New developments

TV sets

The earliest television sets were radios with the addition of a television device consisting of a neon tube with a mechanically spinning disk (the Nipkow disk, invented by Paul Gottlieb Nipkow) that produced a red postage-stamp size image . The first publicly broadcast electronic service was in Germany in March 1935. It had 180 lines of resolution and was only available in 22 public viewing rooms. One of the first major broadcasts involved the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The Germans had a 441 line system in the fall of 1937. (Source: Early Electronic TV)

Television usage skyrocketed after World War II with war-related technological advances and additional disposable income. (1930s TV receivers cost the equivalent of $7000 today (2001) and had little available programming.)

Television in its original and still most popular form involves sending images and sound over radio waves in the VHF and UHF bands, which are received by a receiver (a television set). In this sense, it is an extension of radio.

Color television became available on December 30, 1953, backed by the CBS network. The government approved the color broadcast system proposed by CBS, but when RCA came up with a system that made it possible to view color broadcasts in black and white on unmodified old black and white TV sets, CBS dropped their own proposal and used the new one.

Starting in the 1990s, modern television sets diverged into three different trends:

There are many kinds of video monitors used in modern TV sets. The most common are direct view CRTs for up to 40" (4:3) and 46" (16:9) diagonally. Most big screen TVs (up to over 100") use projection technology. Three types of projection systems are used in projection TVs: CRT based, LCD based and reflective imaging chip based. Modern advances have brought flat screens to TV that use active matrix LCD or plasma display technology. Flat panel displays are as little as 4" thick and can be hung on a wall like a picture. They are extremely attractive and space-saving but they remain expensive.

Nowadays some TVs include a port to connect peripherals to it or to connect the set to an A/V home network (HAVI), like LG RZ-17LZ10 that includes a USB port, where one can connect a mouse, keyboard and so on ( very interesting for WebTV).

Even for simple video, there are five standard ways to connect a device. These are as follows:

Advertising

From the earliest days of the medium, television has been used as a vehicle for advertising. Since their inception in the USA in the late 1940s, TV commercialss have become far and away the most effective, most pervasive, and most popular method of selling products of all sorts. US advertising rates are determined primarily by Nielsen Ratings

US networks

In the US, television networks produce prime-time programs for their affiliate stations to air between 8pm and 11pm. (7pm and 10pm in the Central and Mountain time zones). Most stations have their own programming off the prime time.

Tesla

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The tesla (symbol T) is the compound derived SI unit of magnetic flux density or magnetic inductivity. At the Conference General des Poids et Mesures (CGPM) in Paris in 1960, the unit was named in honor of the Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla who made several important contributions to the field of electromagnetism.

1 T = 1 V · s · m -2 = 1 kg · s -2 · A -1 = 1 N · A -1 m -1 = 1 Wb · m -2

A smaller derived unit, the gauss = 10-4 T, was once used.

Geophysics uses a unit of 1 γ = 10 -9 T. see also the full article on Nikola Tesla

TeX

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

TEX (usually written TeX in plain text) is a typesetting system written by Donald Knuth, which is popular in academia, especially in the mathematics, physics and computer science communities. It has largely displaced Unix troff, the other favored formatter, in many Unix installations.

TeX is generally considered to be the best way to typeset complex mathematical formulas, but, especially in the form of LaTeX and other template packages, is now also being used for many other typesetting tasks. It can be used to compose mathematical expressions on Wikipedia pages: see Wikipedia:TeX markup.

History

Knuth began TeX because he had become annoyed at the declining quality of the typesetting in volumes I-III of his monumental The Art of Computer Programming. In a manifestation of the typical hackish urge to solve the problem at hand once and for all, he began to design his own typesetting language. He thought he would finish it on his sabbatical in 1978; he was wrong by only about 8 years. The language was finally frozen around 1985.

Guy Steele happened to be at Stanford during the summer of 1978, when Knuth was developing his first version of TeX. When he returned to MIT that fall, he rewrote TeX's I/O to run under ITS.

The first version of TeX was written in the SAIL programming language to run on a PDP-10 under Stanford's WAITS operating system. For later versions of TeX, Knuth invented the concept of literate programming, a way of producing compilable source code and high quality cross-linked documentation (typeset in TeX of course) from the same original file. The language used is called WEB and produces programs in Pascal.

TeX has an idiosyncratic version numbering system. Since version 3, updates have been indicated by adding an extra digit at the end of the decimal, so that the version number asymptotically approaches pi. The current version is 3.14159. This is a reflection of the fact that TeX is now very stable, and only minor updates are anticipated.

The typesetting system

TeX commands start with a backslash. TeX is a macro based language: every command expands into a list of other commands or text (possibly with side effects), and the other commands are then expanded in turn until everything is fully expanded. Users can define their own macros. Loops and if-then-else constructs are available, making TeX a Turing-complete language.

The TeX system has precise knowledge of the sizes of all characters and symbols, and using this information, it computes the optimal arrangement of letters per line and lines per page. It then produces a DVI file (for "device independent") containing the final locations of all characters. This dvi file can be printed directly given an appropriate printer driver, or it can be converted to other formats.

The ultimate reference works for TeX are the first two volumes of Knuth's Computers and Typesetting, The TeXbook and TeX: The Program (which includes the complete documented source code for TeX).

License

The license of TeX allows free distribution and modification but demands that any changed version not be called TEX, TeX, or anything confusingly similar, providing rights similar to those of a trademark.

Quality

Though well-written, TeX is so large (and so full of cutting edge technique) that it is said to have unearthed at least one bug in every Pascal system it has been compiled with. TeX runs on almost all operating systems.

Knuth offers monetary awards to people who find and report a bug in it. The award per bug started at one cent and doubled every year until it was frozen at its current value of $327.68. This has not made Knuth poor, however, as there have been very few bugs and in any case a cheque proving that the owner found a bug in TeX is usually framed instead of cashed.

The name

The name TeX is intended to be pronounced "tekh", where "kh" represents the sound at the end of Scotish "loch" (but not English loch; in SAMPA: /tex/). The X is meant to be the Greek letter χ. TeX is the abbreviation of τεχνε, Greek for "art" and "craft," which is also the source word of "technical".

The name is properly typeset with the "E" below the baseline; systems that do not support subscript layout use the approximation "TeX". Fans like to proliferate names from the word "TeX" - such as TeXnician (user of TeX software), TeXhacker (TeX programmer), TeXmaster (competent TeX programmer), TeXhax, and TeXnique.

Derived works

Several document processing systems are based on TeX, notably: Numerous extensions to TeX exist, among them BibTeX for bibliographies (distributed with LaTeX), PDFTeX, which bypasses dvi and produces output in Adobe Systems' Portable Document Format, and Omega, which allows TeX to use the Unicode character set. All TeX extensions are available for free from CTAN, the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network.

Compatible tools

The TeXmacs text editor is a WYSIWYG scientific text editor that is intended to be compatible with TeX. It uses Knuth's fonts, and can generate TeX output. LyX is a similar tool.

TeX and Wikipedia

As of 2003, Wikipedia implements TeX markup, using <math>...</math> tags enclosing blocks of TeX. This capability is implemented via Texvc which is basically a script that pipes the markup through TeX, then dvips to produce a Postscript file which Ghostscript renders into a PNG image. Due to the nature of the web environment, this is done in an efficient (cached) and security-conscious way -- allowing third parties to pass unsanitised text through the standard TeX engine is a bad idea if you value your files.

The example fragments of TeX below are rendered using Texvc, and simple ones such as \\frac{a}{b} can be used to generate , although it is recommended that one writes the HTML-rendered a/b instead.

TeX examples

A simple plain TeX example - Create a text file myfile.tex with the following content: 
hello
\\bye
Then open a command line interpreter and type 
tex myfile.tex
TeX then creates a file myfile.dvi Use a viewer to look at the file. MikTeX for example contains a viewer called yap: 
yap myfile.dvi
The viewer shows hello on a page. \\bye is a TeX command which marks the end of the file and is not shown in the final output.

The dvi file can either be printed directly from the viewer or converted to a more common format such as PostScript using the dvips program.

To see TeX further in action, look at its formatting of mathematical formulas. For example, to write the well-known quadratic formula, try entering 

The quadratic formula is ${-b\\pm\\sqrt{b^2-4ac} \\over {2a}}$
\\bye
Use TeX as above, and you should get something that looks like
The quadratic formula is

Notice how the formula is printed in a way a person would write by hand, or typeset the equation. In a document, entering math mode is done by starting with a $, then entering a formula in TeX semantics and closing again with another $. Display math, or math presented centered on a new line is done by using $$. For example, the above with the quadratic formula in display math:

The quadratic formula is $${-b\\pm\\sqrt{b^2-4ac} \\over {2a}}$$
\\bye
renders as
The quadratic formula is

Theater

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Theater (also Theatre in British and Commonwealth English) is that branch of the performing arts concerned with acting out stories in front of an audience using combinations of speech, gesture, music, dance, sound and spectacle - indeed any one or more elements of the other performing arts. In addition to the standard narrative dialog style, theatre takes such forms as opera, ballet, mime, kabuki, chinese opera, and pantomime. Here is a list of acting terms.

Kinds of theater

"Drama" is that branch of theatre in which speech, either from written text (plays or "dramatic literature") or improvised, is paramount. "Musical theater" is a form of theatre combining music, songs, dance routines, and spoken dialogue. There is a particularly long tradition of political theater, intended to educate audiences on contemporary issues and encourage social change. Various creeds, Catholicism for instance, have built upon the entertainment value of theatre and created (for example) mystery plays and morality plays.

There is an enormous variety of philosophies, artistic processes, and theatrical approaches to creating plays and drama. Some are connected to political or spiritual ideologies, and some are based on purely "artistic" concerns. Some processes focus on story, some on the theatre as event, some as theatre as a catalyst for social change. According to Aristotle's seminal theatrical critique Poetics, there are six elements necessary for theatre. They are Plot, Character, Idea, Language, Music, and Spectacle. The 17th-century Spanish writer Lope de Vega wrote that for theatre one needs "three boards, two actors, and one passion." Others notable for their contributtion to theatrical philosophy are Konstantin Stanislavski, Antonin Artaud, Bertolt Brecht, Orson Welles, Jerzy Grotowski.

Other 20th Century English-language playwrights

This gives a brief listing of some of the better-known playwrights; but theatre is a highly collaborative, multi-person, multi-media craft. Plays are usually produced by a production team*artistic staff combined with various technical, support, and design staff. Among these are the director, scenic designer, the lighting designer, the costume designer, the dramaturge, and the stage manager and production manager. This is not an all inclusive list, and may include other personnel from the world of technical theatre.

Theater building

A theatre is also the building in which works and plays are performed. There are as many styles of performance space as there are styles of performance, but most theatres include a designated "stage" or playing space, a designated audience area or "house," and some sort of off-stage area for preparation and storage, called "backstage," which is typically concealed from the audience. Theatres range from ornate, cathedral-like structures to simple undecorated rooms or black box theatres.

Some of these buildings are masterpieces of architecture. Others, often those known for opera, have become major cultural references and symbols.

The original Greek theatre was semicircular in form and was normally built on a hillside, often overlooking the sea. These theatres also typically included a "raked" or sloped stage, with the back of the stage being higher than the front. Such theatres were often constructed with excellent acoustics, so that a player standing centre stage could be clearly heard throughout the auditorium. The Romanss copied this style of building, but tended not to be so concerned about the location, being prepared to build walls and terraces instead of looking for a naturally-occurring site.

During the Elizabethan era in England, theatres were constructed of wood and were circular in form, like the Globe Theatre in London, home to William Shakespeare's troupe of actors. The Globe has now been rebuilt as a fully working and producing theatre near its original site (largely thanks to the efforts of film director Sam Wanamaker) to give modern audiences an idea of the environment for which Shakespeare and other playwrights of the period were writing.

Contemporary theatres are often non-traditional, such as very adaptable spaces, or theatres where audience and performers are not separated. A major example of this is the modular theatre, (see for example the Walt Disney Modular Theatre). This large theatre has floors and walls divided into small movable sections, with the floor sections on adjustable hydraulic pylons, so that the space may be adjusted into any configuration for each individual play. As new styles of theatre performance have evolved, so has the desire to improve or recreate performance venues. This applies equally to artistic and presentation techniques, such as stage lighting.

Specific designs of contemporary live theaters include proscenium, thrust, black box theater, theater in the round, amphitheater, and arena. A special kind of theater is one in a train carriage (picture). See also movie theater and puppet theater.

Ton

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

There are three similar units of mass called the ton or tonne:

The word ton or tonne is derived from the Old English tunne, and ultimately from the Old French tonne, and referred originally to a large cask with a capacity of 252 gallons, which holds approximately 2016 pounds of water. Such a barrel is still called a tun in British English, but usage is now dying out.

The freight ton or measurement ton is also used as what is technically a measure of volume when measuring ship capacities (tonnage) or freights. One measurement ton is equal to: The amount of water displaced by a volume of one measurement ton has a mass similar to the tons of mass listed above, 1,132.7 kg or 2497.1 lb. The measurement ton is abbreviated as M/T, MT or MTON which can cause it to be confused with the metric ton.

The register ton is also a unit of volume, defined as 100 cubic feet. It is often abbreviated as GRT for gross registered ton.

See 1 E-1 m³ for a comparison with other volumes, also orders of magnitude (volume).

Topology glossary

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

This is a glossary of some terms used in the branch of mathematics known as topology. Although there is no clear distinction between different areas of topology, this glossary focuses primarily on general topology and definitions that are fundamental to a broad range of areas. See the article on topological spaces for basic definitions and examples, and see the article on topology for a brief history and description of the subject area.

The following articles may also be useful. These either contain specialised vocabulary within general topology or provide more detailed expositions of the definitions given below. The list of general topology topics will also be very helpful.

All spaces in this glossary are assumed to be topological spaces unless stated otherwise.

Isotonicity: Every set is contained in its closure.
  • Idempotence: The closure of the closure of a set is equal to the closure of that set.
  • Preservation of binary unions: The closure of the union of two sets is the union of their closures.
  • Preservation of nullary unions: The closure of the empty set is empty.

    • d(x, y) ≥ 0
  • d(x, x) = 0
  • if   d(x, y) = 0   then   x = y     (identity of indiscernibles)
  • d(x, y) = d(y, x)     (symmetry)
  • d(x, z) ≤ d(x, y) + d(y, z)     (triangle inequality)

    • The function d is called a metric on M.

    The empty set and X are in T.
  • The union of any collection of sets in T is also in T.
  • The intersection of any pair of sets in T is also in T.

    • The collection T is called a topology on X.

    if U is in Φ, then U contains { (x, x) : x in X }.
  • if U is in Φ, then { (y, x) : (x, y) in U } is also in Φ
  • if U is in Φ and V is a subset of X × X which contains U, then V is in Φ
  • if U and V are in Φ, then U ∩ V is in Φ
  • if U is in Φ, then there exists V in Φ such that, whenever (x, y) and (y, z) are in V, then (x, z) is in U.

    • The elements of Φ are called entourages, and Φ itself is called a uniform structure on U.

    Traditional Chinese character

    (From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

    Traditional Chinese characters (正體字) are one of two standard character sets of printed contemporary Chinese written language. The other form is Simplified Chinese. This form of writing is most popular in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese communities.

    Among Chinese people, Traditional Chinese characters are also called Complicated Chinese characters (繁體字) or orally Old characters (老字).

    When printing text, people in Mainland China and Singapore use mainly the simplified system, which was developed by the People's Republic of China government in the 1950s. However, the PRC also prints material intended to be read outside of Mainland China using traditional characters. When handwriting text, most Chinese will use informal individual simplifications, and there are some characters in which an informal simplified form is more common even in traditional Chinese text.

    In computer text applications, Traditional Chinese is most often rendered using the Big5 character encoding scheme.

    Transcendental number

    (From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

    A transcendental number is any complex number that is not an algebraic number, i.e., it is not the solution of any polynomial equation of the form

    where n ≥ 1 and the coefficients ai are integers (or, equivalently, rationals), not all 0.

    The set of algebraic numbers is countable while the set of all real numbers is uncountable; this implies that the set of all transcendental numbers is also uncountable, so in a very real sense there are many more transcendental numbers than algebraic ones. However, only a few classes of transcendental numbers are known and proving that a given number is transcendental can be extremely difficult. Another property of the normality of one number might also help to distinguish it to be transcendental.

    The existence of transcendental numbers was first proved in 1844 by Joseph Liouville, who exhibited examples, including the Liouville constant:

    in which the nth digit after the decimal point is 1 if n is a factorial (i.e., 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, ...., etc.) and 0 otherwise. The first number to be proved transcendental without having been specifically constructed to achieve this was e, by Charles Hermite in 1873. In 1882, Carl Louis Ferdinand von Lindemann published a proof that the number &pi is transcendental. In 1874, Georg Cantor found the argument described above establishing the ubiquity of transcendental numbers.

    Here is a list of some numbers known to be transcendental:

    where is the floor function. For example if β = 2 then this number is 0.1010001000000010000000000000001000...

    The discovery of transcendental numbers allowed the proof of the impossibility of several ancient geometric problems involving ruler and compass construction; the most famous one, squaring the circle, is impossible because π is transcendental.

    Tritium

    (From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

    Tritium (symbol T or 3H) is an isotope of hydrogen. The nucleus of tritium contains one proton and two neutrons, whereas a normal hydrogen nucleus consists of just one proton. Its atomic weight is 3.016049. It is a gas (T2 or 3H2) at standard temperature and pressure.

    It is radioactive (an average 6 keV beta emitter) and has a half-life of 12.26 years. The low-energy beta radiation from tritium cannot penetrate human skin, so tritium is only dangerous if consumed in large quantities. Its low energy also makes it difficult to detect tritium labelled compounds except by using liquid scintillation counting.

    Tritium occurs naturally due to cosmic rays interacting with deuterium in the atmosphere. It is produced in nuclear reactors by exposing Li6 to a neutron source.

    Tritium figures prominently in studies of nuclear reactions, especially nuclear fusion due to its favorable reaction cross section and high energy yield. All atomic nuclei, being composed of protons and neutrons, repel one another because of their positive charge. However, if the atoms have a high enough temperature (as is the case in the core of the Sun, for example), than their random motions can overcome such electrical repulsion, and they can be be jammed together into new atoms. Since tritium has the same charge as ordinary hydrogen, it experiences the same electrical repulsive force. However, due to its higher mass, it is less responsive to such forces, and thus can more easily fuse with other atoms. The same is also true, albeit to a lesser extent, of deuterium, and that is why brown dwarfs (so called failed stars) can't burn hydrogen, but do indeed burn deuterium.

    Atmospheric nuclear testing (prior to the Partial Test Ban Treaty) proved unexpectedly useful to oceanographers, as the sharp spike in surface tritium levels could be used over the years to measure the rate at which the lower and upper ocean levels mixed.

    Small amounts are used with phosphors for self-illuminating devices such as watches and exit signs.

    Tritium was first produced in 1934 from deuterium, another isotope of hydrogen, by Ernest Rutherford, working with Marcus L. Oliphant and Paul Harteck . Rutherford was unable to isolate the tritium, a job that was left to Luis Alvarez, who correctly deduced that the substance was radioactive. W. F. Libby discovered that tritium could be used for dating water, and therefore geological samples and vintage wines.

    Tritium combines with oxygen to form a liquid called tritiated water (T2O).

    Twelve bar blues

    (From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

    A typical blues chord progression, taking twelve 4/4 bars to the verse.

    A basic example of the progression would look like this, using T to indicate the tonic, S for the subdominant, and D for the dominant, and representing one chord per measure:

    T T T T
S S T T
D S T T
    Many variations are possible. For instance, seventh chords are often used just before a change, and more changes can be added. A more complicated example might look like this, where "7" indicates a seventh chord:

    T  S  T  T7
S  S7 T  T7
D  S  T  D7
    When the last bar contains the dominant, that bar can be called a turnaround.

    Finally, here is an example showing the pattern in the key of D, and how it fits with the lyrics of a given verse. One chord symbol is used per beat, with "-" representing the continuation of the previous chord:

    D        -     -      -        
Woke up this morning with the
