Dixons (retailer)
Dixons was a British high-street retailer of consumer electronics, originally founded in 1937 as a photographic studio by Charles Kalms. The company would later deal in many consumer electronics, with nationwide outlets in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In 1984, Dixons purchased rival Currys, though kept separate brand identities between the two stores. Dixons typically encompassed shopping centres and town centres, whereas Currys were larger stores in out-of-town retail parks. On 5 April 2006, it was announced that the Dixons brand in the United Kingdom would be superseded by Currys, branded as Currys.digital. The Ireland subsidiary followed this in August 2008. Dixons continued to trade online as Dixons.co.uk, until 2012. History The first Dixons was opened by Charles Kalms in Southend as a photographic studio in 1937. The business flourished during the Second World War, as there was much demand for photographic services and family portraits. By the end of the war, Kalm ...

Dixons (Netherlands)
Dixons is a Dutch chain of stores specialising in what it refers to as leisure time electronics. This means that Dixons does not sell products like washing machines or televisions but does provide things like digital cameras, PC's, MP3 players, gaming consoles and mobile phones. Originally launched by Dixons of the United Kingdom (now Dixons Carphone plc) as nothing more than Netherlands-based branches of the British electrical store Dixons, the Dutch arm of the company was sold to Amsterdam-based company Vendex KBB (now Maxeda) in the 1970s. They changed the store format to what it is now, before selling the company to Dexcom in 2006. There are now over 180 Dixons stores in the Netherlands. The Dutch-based Dixons no longer has any affiliation with Dixons Carphone. In 2011 Dexcom was taken over by Basgroup. On 29 September 2015 Basgroup went into administrative receivership. Shortly thereafter, on 5 October it was declared bankrupt. On 12 October, Relevant Holdings (who had ac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dixon's Factorization Method
In number theory, Dixon's factorization method (also Dixon's random squares method or Dixon's algorithm) is a general-purpose integer factorization algorithm; it is the prototypical factor base method. Unlike for other factor base methods, its run-time bound comes with a rigorous proof that does not rely on conjectures about the smoothness properties of the values taken by polynomial. The algorithm was designed by John D. Dixon, a mathematician at Carleton University, and was published in 1981. Basic idea Dixon's method is based on finding a congruence of squares modulo the integer N which is intended to factor. Fermat's factorization method finds such a congruence by selecting random or pseudo-random ''x'' values and hoping that the integer ''x''2 mod N is a perfect square (in the integers): :x^2\equiv y^2\quad(\hboxN),\qquad x\not\equiv\pm y\quad(\hboxN). For example, if , (by starting at 292, the first number greater than and counting up) the is 256, the square ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
