Glassblowing
Glassblowing is a glassforming technique that involves inflating molten glass into a bubble (or parison) with the aid of a Blowpipe (tool), blowpipe (or blow tube). A person who blows glass is called a ''glassblower'', ''glassmith'', or ''gaffer''. A ''lampworking, lampworker'' (often also called a glassblower or glassworker) manipulates glass with the use of a torch on a smaller scale, such as in producing precision laboratory glassware out of borosilicate glass. Technology Principles As a novel glass forming technique created in the middle of the 1st century BC, glassblowing exploited a working property of glass that was previously unknown to glassworkers; inflation, which is the expansion of a molten blob of glass by introducing a small amount of air into it. That is based on the liquid structure of glass where the atoms are held together by strong chemical bonds in a disordered and random network,Frank, S 1982. Glass and Archaeology.

Holy Grail
The Holy Grail (french: Saint Graal, br, Graal Santel, cy, Greal Sanctaidd, kw, Gral) is a treasure that serves as an important motif in Arthurian literature. Various traditions describe the Holy Grail as a cup, dish, or stone with miraculous healing powers, sometimes providing eternal youth or sustenance in infinite abundance, often guarded in the custody of the Fisher King and located in the hidden Grail castle. By analogy, any elusive object or goal of great significance may be perceived as a "holy grail" by those seeking such. A "grail" (Old French: ''graal'' or ''greal''), wondrous but not unequivocally holy, first appears in ''Perceval, the Story of the Grail'', an unfinished chivalric romance written by Chrétien de Troyes around 1190. Chrétien's story inspired many continuations, translators and interpreters in the later-12th and early-13th centuries, including Wolfram von Eschenbach, who perceived the Grail as a stone. The Christian, Celtic or possibly other orig ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

GraalVM
GraalVM is a Java VM and JDK based on HotSpot/OpenJDK, implemented in Java. It supports additional programming languages and execution modes, like ahead-of-time compilation of Java applications for fast startup and low memory footprint. The first production-ready version, GraalVM 19.0, was released in May 2019. The most recent version is GraalVM 22.1.0, made available in April 2022. Major differentiators of GraalVM compared to the base JDK are: * ''GraalVM Compiler'', a JIT compiler for Java * ''GraalVM Native Image'', allowing the ahead-of-time compilation of Java applications * ''Truffle Language Implementation framework'' and the ''GraalVM SDK'', to implement additional programming language runtimes * ''LLVM Runtime'' and ''JavaScript Runtime'' Project goals * To improve the performance of Java virtual machine-based languages to match the performance of native languages. * To reduce the startup time of JVM-based applications by compiling them ahead-of-time with GraalVM ...

GRAph ALigner (GRAAL)
Graph Aligner (GRAAL)Oleksii Kuchaiev, Tijana Milenković, Vesna Memisević, Wayne Hayes, and Nataša Pržulj, Topological network alignment uncovers biological function and phylogeny, Journal of the Royal Society Interface 2010. is an algorithm for global network alignment that is based solely on network topology. It aligns two networks G and H by producing an alignment that consists of a set of ordered pairs (x, y), where x is a node in G and y is a node in H. GRAAL matches pairs of nodes originating in different networks based on their graphlet degree signature similarities,Tijana Milenkovic and Nataša Pržulj, Uncovering Biological Network Function via Graphlet Degree Signatures, Cancer Informatics 2008, 6:257–273. where a higher similarity between two nodes corresponds to a higher topological similarity between their extended neighborhoods (out to distance 4). GRAAL produces global alignments, i.e., it aligns each node in the smaller network to exactly one node in the larg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
