The municipality covers an area of of which is water. In its population was . The municipality of Brielle also includes the communities Vierpolders and Zwartewaal. History Brielle is a very old, fortified city. Its name is derived from the Celtic word ''brogilo'' (meaning "closed area" or "hunting grounds"). The oldest writings about Brielle indicate that the current location is the "new" Brielle. ''Den ouden Briel'' (Old Brill) must have been situated somewhere else on the Voorne-Putten Island.

Brill–Zinsser Disease
Brill–Zinsser disease is a delayed relapse of epidemic typhus, caused by ''Rickettsia prowazekii''. After a patient contracts epidemic typhus from the fecal matter of an infected louse (''Pediculus humanus''), the rickettsia can remain latent and reactivate months or years later, with symptoms similar to or even identical to the original attack of typhus, including a maculopapular rash. At such times, typhus can be transmitted to other individuals through fecal matter of the louse vector, and generate a new epidemic of the disease.

Brill Building
The Brill Building is an office building at 1619 Broadway on 49th Street in the New York City borough of Manhattan, just north of Times Square and further uptown from the historic musical Tin Pan Alley neighborhood. It was built in 1931 as the Alan E. Lefcourt Building, after the son of its builder Abraham E. Lefcourt, and designed by Victor Bark Jr. Gray, Christopher"Streetscapes: The Brill Building: Built With a Broken Heart" ''The New York Times'', December 30, 2009. The building is 11 stories high and has approximately of rentable area. The Brill Building is famous for housing music industry offices and studios where some of the most popular American songs were written.

Brill (fish)
The brill (''Scophthalmus rhombus'') is a species of flatfish in the turbot family ( Scophthalmidae) of the order Pleuronectiformes. Brill can be found in the northeast Atlantic, Black Sea, Baltic Sea, and Mediterranean, primarily in deeper offshore waters. Brill have slender bodies, brown covered with lighter and darker coloured flecks, excluding the tailfin; the underside of the fish is usually cream coloured or pinkish white. Like other flatfish the brill has the ability to match its colour to the surroundings. Brill weigh up to and can reach a length of , but are less than half that on average. Part of the dorsal fin of the fish is not connected to the fin membrane, giving the fish a frilly appearance. They are sometimes confused with the turbot (''Scophthalmus maximus''), which is more diamond-shaped. The two species are related and can produce hybrids. On the west coast of Canada (outside the range of ''Scophthalmus rhombus'') local fisherman refer to the petrale sole ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
USS Brill (SS-330)
USS ''Brill'' (SS-330), a ''Balao''-class submarine, was a ship of the United States Navy named for the brill, a European flat-fish. Operational history USS ''Brill'' ''Brill'' (SS-330) was launched 25 June 1944 by Electric Boat Co., Groton, Conn.; sponsored by Mrs. Francis S. Low, wife of Rear Admiral Low, and commissioned 26 October 1944. ''Brill'' departed New London 7 December 1944 and arrived at Pearl Harbor 8 January 1945. Her war operations extended from 28 January to 9 August 1945 during which time she completed three war patrols in the South China Sea and the Gulf of Siam. ''Brill'' made few contacts worthy of torpedo fire during her three patrols and consequently had to settle with the damaging of an unidentified ship of approximately 1000 tons as her only score. On 31 August 1945 ''Brill'' departed Fremantle, Australia for Subic Bay, Philippine Islands, arriving 9 September 1945. She continued on to San Diego, via Pearl Harbor, arriving 12 February 1946. ...

Brill Tramway
The Brill Tramway, also known as the Quainton Tramway, Wotton Tramway, Oxford & Aylesbury Tramroad and Metropolitan Railway Brill Branch, was a six-mile (10 km) rail line in the Aylesbury Vale, Buckinghamshire, England. It was privately built in 1871 by the 3rd Duke of Buckingham as a horse tram line to help transport goods between his lands around Wotton House and the national rail network. Lobbying from the nearby village of Brill led to its extension to Brill and conversion to passenger use in early 1872. Two locomotives were bought but trains still travelled at an average speed of . In 1883, the Duke of Buckingham planned to upgrade the route to main line standards and extend the line to Oxford, creating the shortest route between Aylesbury and Oxford. Despite the backing of the wealthy Ferdinand de Rothschild, investors were deterred by costly tunnelling. In 1888 a cheaper scheme was proposed in which the line would be built to a lower standard and avoid tunnelling. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brill–Noether Theory
In algebraic geometry, Brill–Noether theory, introduced by , is the study of special divisors, certain divisors on a curve that determine more compatible functions than would be predicted. In classical language, special divisors move on the curve in a "larger than expected" linear system of divisors. Throughout, we consider a projective smooth curve over the complex numbers (or over some other algebraically closed field). The condition to be a special divisor can be formulated in sheaf cohomology terms, as the non-vanishing of the cohomology of the sheaf of sections of the invertible sheaf or line bundle associated to . This means that, by the Riemann–Roch theorem, the cohomology or space of holomorphic sections is larger than expected. Alternatively, by Serre duality, the condition is that there exist holomorphic differentials with divisor on the curve. Main theorems of Brill–Noether theory For a given genus , the moduli space for curves of genus should contain a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brill, Buckinghamshire
Brill is a village and civil parish in west Buckinghamshire, England, close to the border with Oxfordshire. It is about north-west of Long Crendon and south-east of Bicester. At the 2011 Census, the population of the civil parish was 1,141. Brill has a royal charter to hold a weekly market, but has not done so for many years. Toponymy Brill's name is tautological, being a combination of Brythonic and Anglo Saxon words for 'hill' (Brythonic ''breg'' and Anglo Saxon ''hyll''). The name attracted the attention of J. R. R. Tolkien, who based the Middle-earth village of Bree upon it."Bree ... asbased on Brill ... a place which he knew well": Christopher Tolkien (1988), ''The Return of the Shadow'' (being vol.VI of ''The History of Middle-earth''), ch. 7, p. 131, note 6, Manor The manor of Brill was the administration centre for the royal hunting Forest of Bernwood and was for a long time a property of the Crown.

Brill Tagger
The Brill tagger is an inductive method for part-of-speech tagging. It was described and invented by Eric Brill in his 1993 PhD thesis. It can be summarized as an "error-driven transformation-based tagger". It is: * a form of supervised learning, which aims to minimize error; and, * a transformation-based process, in the sense that a tag is assigned to each word and changed using a set of predefined rules. In the transformation process, if the word is known, it first assigns the most frequent tag, or if the word is unknown, it naively assigns the tag "noun" to it. High accuracy is eventually achieved by applying these rules iteratively and changing the incorrect tags. This approach ensures that valuable information such as the morphosyntactic construction of words is employed in an automatic tagging process. Algorithm The algorithm starts with initialization, which is the assignment of tags based on their probability for each word (for example, "dog" is more often a noun than a v ...
