These films are all bound together by a common theme ; past series have included " The Open Road ," a program featuring road movies, and " Breakthroughs ," featuring the breakthrough films of various directors, writers, and actors.

* Breakthroughs in high-performance computing, including the development of novel concepts for massively parallel computing and the design and application of computers that can carry out hundreds of trillions of operations per second.

* The Discoveries: Great Breakthroughs in 20th Century Science.

Breakthroughs included the discovery, in 1994, of leptin, a hormone that appeared to provide negative feedback.

Breakthroughs often lead to an explosion of new technologies and approaches.

The symposium was held at the University of the Philippines Los Baños with the theme In Search of Breakthroughs in Agricultural Development.

Breakthroughs included the introduction of clinical neuroscience in the 1950s which was partly led by Denis Hill, a senior lecturer at the Maudsley and the Institute of Psychiatry ( IoP ), and the use of group talking therapies which is still practiced today.

These concepts of flexibility and change are principally required to allow production leveling, using tools like SMED, but have their analogues in other processes such as research and development ( R & D ).

For example, his concepts of SMED, mistake-proofing, and " zero quality control " ( eliminating the need for inspection of results ) have all been applied in the field of sales process engineering.

Shigeo Shingo, the best-known exponent of single minute exchange of die ( SMED ) and error-proofing or poka-yoke, cites Principles of Scientific Management as his inspiration.

In January of that year, Haworth purchased SMED of Calgary.

The acquisitions of SMED and InterfaceAR further strengthened Haworth ’ s workspace solutions.

Shingo is the author of numerous books including: A Study of the Toyota Production System ; Revolution in Manufacturing: The SMED System ; Zero Quality Control: Source Inspection and the Poka-yoke System ; The Sayings of Shigeo Shingo: Key Strategies for Plant Improvement ; Non-Stock Production: The Shingo System for Continuous Improvement ; and The Shingo Production Management System: Improving Process Functions.

On the other hand, the process of obsoleting an old product and introducing the new one is usually mighty expensive.

Third, the process of calcification is seen to begin later and to continue much longer for these boys than for the girls, a fact which confirms data for other groups of children.

Public libraries in Nassau County have been lending books to each other by mail for a quarter-century, but the system enables this process to operate on an organized and far more comprehensive basis.

This allows digital devices to communicate with each other and to process, store, and communicate character-oriented information such as written language.

On direct appeal, a prisoner challenges the grounds of the conviction based on an error that occurred at trial or some other stage in the adjudicative process.

An abscess () is a collection of pus ( dead neutrophils ) that has accumulated in a cavity formed by the tissue in which the pus resides due to an infectious process ( usually caused by bacteria or parasites ) or other foreign materials ( e. g., splinters, bullet wounds, or injecting needles ).

Evans's mill used a leather belt bucket elevator, screw conveyors, canvas belt conveyors, and other mechanical devices to completely automate the process of making flour.

However other process philosophers such as David Ray Griffin have written that people may have subjective experience after death.

Once the Bessemer process began to gain widespread use, other alloys of steel began to follow, such as mangalloy, an alloy of steel and manganese, which exhibits extreme hardness and toughness.

There are many kinds of transduction process that convert energy from some other form into sonic energy, producing a sound wave.

Alpha decay, like other cluster decays, is fundamentally a quantum tunneling process.

dV relate to each other as the adiabatic process proceeds.

He worked on the electrolysis of the salts of fatty and other acids ( Kolbe electrolysis ) and prepared salicylic acid, a building block of aspirin in a process called Kolbe synthesis or Kolbe-Schmitt reaction.

Among other things, this feature allows a single iterative statement to process arbitrarily many elements of an array.

The process also kills Pham and strands the other humans on the Tines world, now in the depths of the " Slow Zone " where rescue by an advanced civilization is impossible.

This process doubles the apparent number of video fields per second and further reduces flicker and other defects in transmission.

Wedge-shaped polycrystals were identified by transmission electron microscopy to grow out of the amorphous phase only after the latter has exceeded a certain thickness, the precise value of which depends on deposition temperature, background pressure and various other process parameters.

Abstraction is a process by which higher concepts are derived from the usage and classification of literal (" real " or " concrete ") concepts, first principles, or other methods.

Abstraction in mathematics is the process of extracting the underlying essence of a mathematical concept, removing any dependence on real world objects with which it might originally have been connected, and generalizing it so that it has wider applications or matching among other abstract descriptions of equivalent phenomena.

The country's small white minority and other minorities participate freely in the political process.

There were noted exceptions, such as denying a stolen base to an otherwise successful steal as a part of a double or triple steal, if one other runner was thrown out in the process.

* the width of the range of some other phenomenon ( e. g., a reflection, the phase matching of a nonlinear process, or some resonance )

' Although members are asked to confess serious sins to him, unlike the Roman Catholic Church, he is not the instrument of divine forgiveness, merely a guide through the repentance process ( and a judge in case transgressions warrant excommunication or other official discipline ).

On the other hand, boiling is a process in which molecules anywhere in the liquid escape, resulting in the formation of vapor bubbles within the liquid.

Investigating how plant species are related to each other allows botanists to better understand the process of evolution in plants.
