Mad (village)
Mad ( hu, Nagymad, ) is a village and municipality in the Dunajská Streda District in the Trnava Region of south-west Slovakia. Geography The municipality lies at an altitude of 114 metres and covers an area of 7.714 km². History In the 9th century, the territory of Mad became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. The village was first recorded in 1254 as ''Mod'', in 1260 as ''Nagmod''. Until the end of World War I, it was part of Hungary and fell within the Dunaszerdahely district of Pozsony County. Mad was the hometown of Rabbi Abraham Judah ha-Kohen Schwartz. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovakian troops occupied the area. After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary and it was held by Hungary until 1945. After Soviet occupation in 1945, Czechoslovakian administration returned and the village became officially part of Czech ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Make A Difference
Make A Difference (MAD) is an Indian non-profit organisation, working to ensure better outcomes for children in orphanages and shelters across India. Make A Difference works with nearly 3460 children in 67 shelter homes across 23 cities in India, delivering impact through a fellow-managed volunteering model of 4,255 young participants. It is currently run by Jithin C Nedumala. Make A Difference is registered in Cochin, with a core team based in Bangalore, and operations spread across over 24 Indian cities. History Make A Difference was founded by Jithin Nedumala in year 2006 when he was 19 years and Sujith Varkey, together with Gloria Benny, Kavin K K, Santosh Babu and Jithin John Varghese. These six founding members fleshed out the concept of Make A Difference and formed a founding team with friends, peers and members of the community. The NGO had been set up to work with children in need of care and protection and majority of children had undergone adverse childhood experiences ...

MPEG Audio Decoder
MPEG Audio Decoder (MAD) is a GPL library for decoding files that have been encoded with an MPEG audio codec. It was written by Robert Leslie and produced by Underbit Technologies. It was developed as a new implementation, on the ISO/IEC standards. It consists of libmad, a software library, and madplay, a command-line program for MP3 playback. libmad is notable for using only fixed-point arithmetic while madplay is notable for its ReplayGain ReplayGain is a proposed technical standard published by David Robinson in 2001 to measure and normalize the perceived loudness of audio in computer audio formats such as MP3 and Ogg Vorbis. It allows media players to normalize loudness for indi ... support. References External linksMAD's home page [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mothers Against Decapentaplegic
Mothers against decapentaplegic is a protein from the SMAD family that was discovered in ''Drosophila''. During ''Drosophila'' research, it was found that a mutation in the gene in the mother repressed the gene decapentaplegic in the embryo. The phrase "Mothers against" was added as a humorous take-off on organizations opposing various issues e.g. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD); and based on a tradition of such unusual naming within the gene research community. Several human homologues are known: * Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 1 * Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 2 * Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 * Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4 * Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 5 * Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 6 * Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 7 * Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 9 Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 9 also known as SMAD9, SMAD8, and MADH6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''SMAD ...

Modified Atkins Diet
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate dietary therapy that in conventional medicine is used mainly to treat hard-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally carbohydrates in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is important in fueling brain function. However, if only a little carbohydrate remains in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies, the latter passing into the brain and replacing glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood (a state called ketosis) eventually lowers the frequency of epileptic seizures. Around half of children and young people with epilepsy who have tried some form of this diet saw the number of seizures drop by at least half, and the effect persists after discontinuing the diet. Some evidence shows that adults with epilepsy may benefit from the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Methodical Accelerator Design
A charged particle accelerator is a complex machine that takes elementary charged particles and accelerates them to very high energies. Accelerator physics is a field of physics encompassing all the aspects required to design and operate the equipment and to understand the resulting dynamics of the charged particles. There are software packages associated with each such domain. There are a large number of such codes. The 1990 edition of the Los Alamos Accelerator Code Group's compendium provides summaries of more than 200 codes. Certain of those codes are still in use today although many are obsolete. Another index of existing and historical accelerator simulation codes is located at Single particle dynamics codes For many applications it is sufficient to track a single particle through the relevant electric and magnetic fields. Old codes no longer maintained by their original authors or home institutions include: BETA, AGS, ALIGN, COMFORT, DESIGN, DIMAD, HARMON, LEGO, LIAR, MA ...
