Bachi
''Bachi'' (, ; also ''batchi'') are straight, wooden sticks used on Japanese taiko drums, and also the plectrum (written ) for stringed instruments of Japanese origin such as the shamisen and ''biwa''. For percussion Drum bachi (, ) are made in a wide variety of sizes and materials, as appropriate to the drum it will be used to play. A typical bachi is about 22 mm (7/8 inches) in diameter, 400 mm (16 inches) long and made out of a hardwood such as oak. These would be suitable for a wide variety of playing styles. A bachi for playing a larger drum like the O-daiko would be bigger both in circumference and length. Similarly, smaller bachi are used for smaller drums. Distinctions between the characters and are not always made in technical terms, but can also literally refer to the white oak tree, or Quercus. Some other woods commonly used to make bachi are (Japanese names in parentheses): , , , , and . Magnolia is one of the lightest and softest woods, ...

Jin Deui
''Jiandui'' (, common misspelling ) is a type of fried Chinese pastry made from glutinous rice flour. The pastry is coated with sesame seeds on the outside and is crisp and chewy. Inside the pastry is a large hollow, caused by the expansion of the dough. The hollow of the pastry is filled with a filling usually consisting of lotus paste, or alternatively sweet black bean paste, or red bean paste. They are also sometimes referred to as sesame balls (). Depending on the region and cultural area, ''jian dui'' is known as ''matuan'' () in northern China, ''ma yuan'' () in northeast China, and ''zhen dai'' () in Hainan. Origin The origins of ''jian dui'' can be traced back to the Tang dynasty as a palace food in Chang'an, known as ''lüdui'' (). This food item was also recalled in a poem by the Tang poet Wang Fanzhi. With the southward migration of many peoples from central China, the ''jian dui'' was brought along and hence became part of southern Chinese cuisine. Across Asia ...

Büchi Automaton
In computer science and automata theory, a deterministic Büchi automaton is a theoretical machine which either accepts or rejects infinite inputs. Such a machine has a set of states and a transition function, which determines which state the machine should move to from its current state when it reads the next input character. Some states are accepting states and one state is the start state. The machine accepts an input if and only if it will pass through an accepting state infinitely many times as it reads the input. A non-deterministic Büchi automaton, later referred to just as a Büchi automaton, has a transition function which may have multiple outputs, leading to many possible paths for the same input; it accepts an infinite input if and only if some possible path is accepting. Deterministic and non-deterministic Büchi automata generalize deterministic finite automata and nondeterministic finite automata to infinite inputs. Each are types of ω-automata. Büchi automata rec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Büchi Arithmetic
Büchi arithmetic of base ''k'' is the first-order theory of the natural numbers with addition and the function V_k(x) which is defined as the largest power of ''k'' dividing ''x'', named in honor of the Swiss mathematician Julius Richard Büchi. The signature of Büchi arithmetic contains only the addition operation, V_k and equality, omitting the multiplication operation entirely. Unlike Peano arithmetic, Büchi arithmetic is a decidable theory. This means it is possible to effectively determine, for any sentence in the language of Büchi arithmetic, whether that sentence is provable from the axioms of Büchi arithmetic. Büchi arithmetic and automata A subset X\subseteq \mathbb N^n is definable in Büchi arithmetic of base ''k'' if and only if it is ''k''-recognisable. If n=1 this means that the set of integers of ''X'' in base ''k'' is accepted by an automaton. Similarly if n>1 there exists an automaton that reads the first digits, then the second digits, and so on, of ''n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Buchi Emecheta
Florence Onyebuchi "Buchi" Emecheta (21 July 1944 – 25 January 2017) was a Nigerian-born novelist, based in the UK from 1962, who also wrote plays and an autobiography, as well as works for children. She was the author of more than 20 books, including '' Second Class Citizen'' (1974), '' The Bride Price'' (1976), '' The Slave Girl'' (1977) and '' The Joys of Motherhood'' (1979). Most of her early novels were published by Allison and Busby, where her editor was Margaret Busby. Emecheta's themes of child slavery, motherhood, female independence and freedom through education gained recognition from critics and honours. She once described her stories as "stories of the world, where women face the universal problems of poverty and oppression, and the longer they stay, no matter where they have come from originally, the more the problems become identical." Her works explore the tension between tradition and modernity. She has been characterized as "the first successful black woma ...

Julius Richard Büchi
Julius Richard Büchi (1924–1984) was a Swiss logician and mathematician. He received his Dr. sc. nat. in 1950 at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Paul Bernays and Ferdinand Gonseth. Shortly afterwards he went to Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana. He and his first student Lawrence Landweber had a major influence on the development of theoretical computer science. Together with his friend Saunders Mac Lane, a student of Paul Bernays as well, Büchi published numerous celebrated works. He invented what is now known as the Büchi automaton, a finite-state machine accepting certain sets of infinite sequences of characters known as omega-regular languages. The "''n'' squares' problem", known also as Büchi's problem, is an open problem from number theory, closely related to Hilbert's tenth problem Hilbert's tenth problem is the tenth on the list of mathematical problems that the German mathematician David Hilbert posed in 1900.

Early life Büchi was born into a Roman Catholic family of Swiss, German and Croatian descent who settled in Iquique. He studied at Instituto Nacional General José Miguel Carrera of Santiago. After receiving a diploma in mining at the University of Chile he went to the U.S. and earned an MBA from Columbia University in 1975.

Yutaka Izubuchi
is a Japanese anime designer, screenwriter and director. Izubuchi is credited for designing costumes, characters and creatures, but most of his designs are mechanical (both robots and other vehicles). He created and directed the ''RahXephon'' series and also created a manga story called '' Rune Masquer''. Among Izubuchi's design credits are the mecha from ''Panzer World Galient'' as well as some ''Gundam'' and ''Patlabor'' shows. He also created the Protect-Gear armor used in the Kerberos saga ('' Jin-Roh'', etc.). The ADV Films promotional materials for ''RahXephon'' and some reviews ''Gasaraki'' is an Izubuchi credit, but although he did mecha design on that show he was not responsible for writing or directing. Izubuchi designed the costume for one of the characters of the ''Cutie Honey'' live action movie (2004), directed by Hideaki Anno of ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' fame; earlier, Anno and Izubuchi (called "Bu-chan" by Anno) both had their mecha designs appear on '' Mobil ...
