: Or if the hypothesis were offered us of a world in which Messrs. Fourier's and Bellamy's and Morris's utopias should all be outdone, and millions kept permanently happy on the one simple condition that a certain lost soul on the far-off edge of things should lead a life of lonely torture, what except a specifical and independent sort of emotion can it be which would make us immediately feel, even though an impulse arose within us to clutch at the happiness so offered, how hideous a thing would be its enjoyment when deliberately accepted as the fruit of such a bargain?

In Karen Anderson's short story " The Piebald Hippogriff ", a boy rides a hippogriff in a flight past the edge of the world.

The older, traditional industries of Wallonia, particularly steel industry, began to lose their competitive edge during this period, but the general growth of world prosperity masked this deterioration until the 1973 and 1979 oil price shocks and resultant shifts in international demand sent the economy into a period of prolonged recession.

Located on the western edge of the region and at higher elevations than the other areas, the Rioja Alta is known more for its " old world " style of wine.

Although originally Thule was probably the name for Scandinavia, Virgil simply uses it as a proverbial expression for the edge of the known world, and his mention should not be taken as a substantial reference to Scandinavia.

On another range of coinage, she is seated on a globe above waves: Britain at the edge of the ( known ) world.

According to the stanzas, long ago, a mighty god was born by nine jötunn maidens at the edge of the world.

: When soul is firmly fixed on the domain where truth and reality shine resplendent it apprehends and knows them and appears to possess reason, but when it inclines to that region which is mingled with darkness, the world of becoming and passing away, it opines only and its edge is blunted, and it shifts its opinions hither and thither, and again seems as if it lacked reason.

The county is a hotbed of fly fishing and angling on the edge of some world class streams and rivers.

The most recent world model propagated by the Flat Earth Society holds that humanity lives on a disc, with the North Pole at its center and a 150-foot ( 45 m ) high wall of ice at the outer edge.

It was built around The Collins Company Axe Factory, a world renowned manufacturer of edge tools, such as axes, machetes, picks and knives.

The Woodbury Temple echoes the many temples of the Greek world that were perched at the edge of high places from which they could be seen from miles around and from far out at sea.

Grayling is a hotbed of fly fishing and angling on the edge of some world class streams, rivers and lakes.

This happened entirely when they were filming exterior scenes, where there was no problem about shooting past the edge of the studio set.

Dijkstra's algorithm, conceived by Dutch computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra in 1956 and published in 1959, is a graph search algorithm that solves the single-source shortest path problem for a graph with nonnegative edge path costs, producing a shortest path tree.

In high-speed rail, passing trains are a significant safety problem, as the safe distance from the platform edge increases with the speed of the passing train.

In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, the Chinese postman problem ( CPP ), postman tour or route inspection problem is to find a shortest closed path or circuit that visits every edge of a ( connected ) undirected graph.

* Min k-Chinese postman problem: find k cycles all starting at a designated location such that each edge is traversed by at least one cycle.

One way to solve the scalability problem is by using a multi-level approach, where per-microflow resource reservation ( i. e. resource reservation for individual users ) is done in the edge network, while in the core network resources are reserved for aggregate flows only.

The problem can be minimized by increasing the leading edge sweepback and placing twin fins outboard near the tips, as for example in a low-aspect-ratio delta wing, but many flying wings have gentler sweepback and consequently have, at best, marginal stability.

He was forced to get out of his sack to remedy the problem and discovered that he was at risk of sliding over an edge that rolled off to drop below.

For graphs with only non-negative edge weights, the faster Dijkstra's algorithm also solves the problem.

The two sets and may be thought of as a coloring of the graph with two colors: if one colors all nodes in blue, and all nodes in green, each edge has endpoints of differing colors, as is required in the graph coloring problem.

This problem can be modeled as a dominating set problem in a bipartite graph that has a vertex for each train and each station and an edge for

A related problem is tracking connected components as all edges are deleted from a graph, one by one ; an algorithm exists to solve this with constant time per query, and O (| V || E |) time to maintain the data structure ; this is an amortized cost of O (| V |) per edge deletion.

On fighter designs, the addition of leading edge extensions, included for high maneuverability, also serve to add lift during landing and reduce the problem.

However, these problems also differ in several important ways: for instance, in EDA, area minimization and signal length are more important than aesthetics, and the routing problem in EDA may have more than two terminals per net while the analogous problem in graph drawing generally only involves pairs of vertices for each edge.

To illustrate why edge detection is not a trivial task, consider the problem of detecting edges in the following one-dimensional signal.

Indeed, this is one of the reasons why edge detection may be a non-trivial problem unless the objects in the scene are particularly simple and the illumination conditions can be well controlled ( see for example, the edges extracted from the image with the girl above ).

John Canny considered the mathematical problem of deriving an optimal smoothing filter given the criteria of detection, localization and minimizing multiple responses to a single edge.

We can therefore derive a semi-discrete numerical scheme for the above problem with cell centres indexed as, and with cell edge fluxes indexed as, by differentiating ( 6 ) with respect to time to obtain:
