Barnes–Hut Simulation
The Barnes–Hut simulation (named after Josh Barnes and Piet Hut) is an approximation algorithm for performing an ''n''-body simulation. It is notable for having order O(''n'' log ''n'') compared to a direct-sum algorithm which would be O(''n''2). The simulation volume is usually divided up into cubic cells via an octree (in a three-dimensional space), so that only particles from nearby cells need to be treated individually, and particles in distant cells can be treated as a single large particle centered at the cell's center of mass (or as a low-order multipole expansion). This can dramatically reduce the number of particle pair interactions that must be computed. Some of the most demanding high-performance computing projects do computational astrophysics using the Barnes–Hut treecode algorithm, such as DEGIMA. Algorithm The Barnes–Hut tree In a three-dimensional ''n''-body simulation, the Barnes–Hut algorithm recursively divides the ''n'' bodies into ...

Barnes Hospital, Cheadle
Barnes Hospital in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, England, is a former hospital. It is on the border between Manchester and Stockport, near the A34 road in the middle of the complex interchange between Kingsway, the M60 and M56 motorway. The main building is Grade II listed, and lies on green belt land. The building, completed in 1875, is a noted example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture and a prominent landmark, sitting on a mount overlooking the surrounding roads. The hospital closed in 1999, and although the building was promptly listed to protect it from demolition, it became derelict. The former hospital building has now been converted into flats and is at the centre of a new housing development called Barnes Village. History Following the improvements to nursing inspired by the work of Florence Nightingale in the 1860s, demand for convalescent care grew in the British hospital system. The philanthropist Joseph Adshead campaigned for the construction of a convale ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Barn
A barn is an agricultural building usually on farms and used for various purposes. In North America, a barn refers to structures that house livestock, including cattle and horses, as well as equipment and fodder, and often grain.Allen G. Noble, ''Traditional Buildings: A Global Survey of Structural Forms and Cultural Functions'' (New York: Tauris, 2007), 30. As a result, the term barn is often qualified e.g. tobacco barn, dairy barn, cow house, sheep barn, potato barn. In the British Isles, the term barn is restricted mainly to storage structures for unthreshed cereals and fodder, the terms byre or shippon being applied to cow shelters, whereas horses are kept in buildings known as stables. In mainland Europe, however, barns were often part of integrated structures known as byre-dwellings (or housebarns in US literature). In addition, barns may be used for equipment storage, as a covered workplace, and for activities such as threshing. Etymology The word ''barn'' comes f ...

Along with several other uncommon first moves, it is classified under the code A00 ( irregular openings or uncommon openings) in the ''Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings''. Strategy Of the twenty possible first moves in chess, author and grandmaster Edmar Mednis argues that 1.f3 is the worst. Grandmaster Benjamin Finegold teaches "Never play f3". In his text on openings, Paul van der Sterren considered 1. f3 beneath mention by name: The move does exert influence over the central square e4, but the same or more ambitious goals can be achieved with almost any other first move. The move 1.f3 does not a piece, opens no for pieces, and actually hinders the development of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
