Falling somewhere in a category between Einstein's theory and sand fleas -- difficult to see but undeniably there, nevertheless -- is the tropical green `` city '' of Islandia, a string of offshore islands that has almost no residents, limited access and an unlimited future.

From a technical standpoint, the string playing is good, but the Pro Arte people fail to enter into the spirit of things here.

The twenty-five-year-old recording offers rather faded string tone, but the balance between the instruments is good and the transfer is very quiet.

The lowest possible energy an electron can take is therefore analogous to the fundamental frequency of a wave on a string.

N-ary associativity is a string of length n +( n-1 ) with any n adjacent elements bracketed.

The two methods produce the same result ; string concatenation is associative ( but not commutative ).

More formally, the complexity of a string is the length of the shortest possible description of the string in some fixed universal description language ( the sensitivity of complexity relative to the choice of description language is discussed below ).

If P is a program which outputs a string x, then P is a description of x.

The length of the description is just the length of P as a character string, multiplied by the number of bits in a character ( e. g. 7 for ASCII ).

If M is a Turing Machine which, on input w, outputs string x, then the concatenated string < M > w is a description of x.

Thus, if P is a program in L < sub > 2 </ sub > which is a minimal description of s, then InterpretLanguage ( P ) returns the string s. The length of this description of s is the sum of

It is not hard to see that the minimal description of a string cannot be too much larger than the string itself-the program GenerateFixedString above that outputs s is a fixed amount larger than s.

Recreational players generally string at lower tensions than professionals, typically between 80 and 110 N ( 18 and 25 lbf ).

The arguments for this generally rely on crude mechanical reasoning, such as claiming that a lower tension string bed is more bouncy and therefore provides more power.

Since only one note can be played at a time on each string, the fretting pattern is generally chosen so that notes which are rarely heard together ( such as C and C ) share a string pair.

Data structures are generally based on the ability of a computer to fetch and store data at any place in its memory, specified by an address — a bit string that can be itself stored in memory and manipulated by the program.

The double bass is generally regarded as a modern descendant of the string family of instruments that originated in Europe in the 15th century, and as such has been described as a bass Violin.

The history of the double bass is tightly coupled to the development of string technology, as it was the advent of overwound gut strings, which first rendered the instrument more generally practicable, as wound strings attain low notes within a smaller overall string diameter than unwound strings.

The double bass is generally tuned in fourths, in contrast to other members of the orchestral string family, which are tuned in fifths.

Major European orchestras generally use basses with a fifth string, tuned to B three octaves and a semitone below middle C. Players with standard double basses ( E-A-D-G ) typically play the notes below " E " an octave higher.

Salzedo's technique generally calls for the arms to be held horizontally and emphasises the role of aesthetic hand and arm gestures after the string has been plucked: " Each of the thirty-seven tone colors and effects of the harp calls for a gesture corresponding to its sonorous meaning.

There are several stone carvings of triangular harps from the 10th century, many of which have simple triangular shapes, generally with straight pillars, straight string arms or necks, and soundboxes.

They generally use individual piezo-electric transducers one per string often in combination with small internal microphones to produce a direct output mixed electrical signal.

Lute can refer generally to any plucked string instrument with a neck ( either fretted or unfretted ) and a deep round back, or more specifically to an instrument from the family of European lutes.

When users visit a website ( using " user agent " software such as a web browser ), a text string is generally sent to identify the user agent to the web server.

Thus, fluids are generally associated with viscous behaviour ( a thick oil is a viscous liquid ) and solids with elastic behaviour ( an elastic string is an elastic solid ).

The name combinatorial search is generally used for algorithms that look for a specific sub-structure of a given discrete structure, such as a graph, a string, a finite group, and so on.

Miniatures games generally measure distance for movement and range with a string or tape measure.

Although the sculpture on the portals at Chartres is generally of a high standard, the various carved elements inside, such as the capitals and string courses, are relatively poorly finished ( when compared for example with those at Reims or Soissons ) – the reason is simply that the portals were carved from the finest Parisian limestone, or ' ' calcaire ' ', while the internal capitals were carved from the local Berchere stone that is hard to work and can be brittle.

* High-tensile, Slick Strings, generally made from polyester and cotton, are added by some players to improve sleep times ( thinner string touches less of the yo-yo gap ) and for better looping ( low friction string performs " faster " and will not break as easily ).

Hoboken assigned numbers to the string quartets, but these are generally still known by their opus numbers.

This group includes all instruments generally called string instruments in the west, as well as many ( but not all ) keyboard instruments, such as pianos and harpsichords.

For example, the " Lincolnshire Poacher ", formerly one of the best known numbers stations ( generally thought to be run by SIS, as its transmissions have been traced to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus ), played the first two bars of the folk song " The Lincolnshire Poacher " before each string of numbers.

Taken in conjunction with the fact that a string of such parcels existed around Woensel, the original location of Eindhoven may be understood to be the " last hove on the land of Woensel ".

As presently understood, however, string theory admits a very large number ( 10 < sup > 500 </ sup > by some estimates ) of consistent vacua, comprising the so-called " string landscape ".

This process is called hadronization, fragmentation, or string breaking, and is one of the least understood processes in particle physics.

It relates different string theories that were thought to be unrelated before T-duality was understood.

Plus no one understood the theory beyond the regime of applicability of string perturbation theory.

The treatment of these p-branes was not restricted by string perturbation theory ; in fact, thanks to supersymmetry, p-branes in supergravity were understood well beyond the limits in which string theory was understood.

Foremost among them is that colliding branes are not understood by string theorists, and nobody knows if the scale invariant spectrum will be destroyed by the big crunch.

There are deep connections between these objects, hinted at by the classification ; some of these connections can be understood via string theory.

The quantization forced by the Dirac string can be understood in terms of the cohomology of the fibre bundle representing the gauge fields over the base manifold of space-time.

Every link can be cut apart to form a string link, though this is not unique, and invariants of links can sometimes be understood as invariants of string links – this is the case for Milnor's invariants, for instance.

After many false starts, Dolen Horn and Schmidt understood a crucial property that led Gabriele Veneziano to formulate a self-consistent scattering amplitude, the first string theory.

The QCD ( Quantum Chromodynamics ) dynamics of the hadronization process are not yet fully understood, but are modeled and parameterized in a number of phenomenological studies, including the Lund string model and in various long-range QCD approximation schemes.

The slashed zero is used by programmers in order to avoid confusion with the character ' O ', when it is understood by context that a string should represent a numeric value it may be used to indicate null.

The effect of the question mark function on can then be understood as mapping the second interpretation of a string to the first interpretation of the same string, just as the Cantor function can be understood as mapping a triadic base 3 representation to a base 2 representation.

In hadronic physics, the Hagedorn temperature is today understood to be the deconfinement temperature of quarks, while in string theory, it indicates another phase transition: the transition at which very long strings are copiously produced.
