Museum Of Dartmoor Life
A museum is an institution dedicated to displaying or preserving culturally or scientifically significant objects. Many museums have exhibitions of these objects on public display, and some have private collections that are used by researchers and specialists. Museums host a much wider range of objects than a library, and they usually focus on a specific theme, such as the arts, science, natural history or local history. Public museums that host exhibitions and interactive demonstrations are often tourist attractions, and many draw large numbers of visitors from outside of their host country, with the most visited museums in the world attracting millions of visitors annually. Since the establishment of the earliest known museum in ancient times, museums have been associated with academia and the preservation of rare items. Museums originated as private collections of interesting items, and not until much later did the emphasis on educating the public take root. Etymolog ...

Mandalay International Airport
Mandalay International Airport , located 35 km south of Mandalay in Tada-U, is one of three international airports in Myanmar. Completed in 1999, it replaced the old Mandalay Chanmyathazi Airport as the city's main airport and it was the largest and most modern airport in the country until the modernization of Yangon International Airport in 2008. The airport connects 11 domestic and seven international destinations. Its runway is the longest runway in use in Southeast Asia and has the capacity to handle up to 3 million passengers a year. History The Mandalay International Airport project was first conceived by the State Peace and Development Council, Burmese military government in the mid-1990s as a way to increase overall levels of foreign investment and tourism in Myanmar. With Yangon boasting the only other international airport in the whole country, the new Mandalay airport was regarded as crucial in achieving a planned 10% annual passenger growth. The hope was for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Military Demarcation Line
The Military Demarcation Line (MDL), sometimes referred to as the Armistice Line, is the land border or demarcation line between North Korea and South Korea. On either side of the line is the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The MDL and DMZ were established by the Korean Armistice Agreement. In the Yellow Sea, the two Koreas are divided by a ''de facto'' maritime "military demarcation line" and maritime boundary called the Northern Limit Line (NLL) drawn by the United Nations Command in 1953. The NLL is not described by the Korean Armistice Agreement. Demarcation on land The DMZ runs near the 38th parallel, covering roughly . American and South Korean soldiers patrol this line along the South Korean side while North Korean soldiers patrol along the North Korean side. In Korean, the line is called the ''Hyujeonseon'' (휴전선), meaning "armistice line." It is also sometimes called the ''Gunsa Bungye-seon'' (군사분계선), which literally means "military demarcation ...

Method Detection Limit
The limit of detection (LOD or LoD) is the lowest signal, or the lowest corresponding quantity to be determined (or extracted) from the signal, that can be observed with a sufficient degree of confidence or statistical significance. However, the exact threshold (level of decision) used to decide when a signal significantly emerges above the continuously fluctuating background noise remains arbitrary and is a matter of policy and often of debate among scientists, statisticians and regulators depending on the stakes in different fields. Significance in analytical chemistry In analytical chemistry, the detection limit, lower limit of detection, also termed LOD for limit of detection or analytical sensitivity (not to be confused with statistical sensitivity), is the lowest quantity of a substance that can be distinguished from the absence of that substance (a '' blank value'') with a stated confidence level (generally 99%). The detection limit is estimated from the mean of the blan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Discretization Of Continuous Features
In statistics and machine learning, discretization refers to the process of converting or partitioning continuous attributes, features or variables to discretized or nominal attributes/features/variables/ intervals. This can be useful when creating probability mass functions – formally, in density estimation. It is a form of discretization in general and also of binning, as in making a histogram. Whenever continuous data is discretized, there is always some amount of discretization error. The goal is to reduce the amount to a level considered negligible for the modeling purposes at hand. Typically data is discretized into partitions of ''K'' equal lengths/width (equal intervals) or K% of the total data (equal frequencies). Mechanisms for discretizing continuous data include Fayyad & Irani's MDL method, which uses mutual information In probability theory and information theory, the mutual information (MI) of two random variables is a measure of the mutual Statist ...

MDL (programming Language)
MDL (Model Development Language, or colloquially also referred to as More Datatypes than Lisp or MIT Design Language) is a programming language, a descendant of the language Lisp. Its initial purpose was to provide high-level programming language support for the Dynamic Modeling Group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Project MAC. It was developed in 1971 on a PDP-10 running ITS and later ran on TENEX, TOPS-20, Markdown/HTML transcription BSD, and AEGIS. The initial development team consisted of Gerald Sussman and Carl Hewitt of the Artificial Intelligence Lab, and Chris Reeve, Bruce Daniels, and David Cressey of the Dynamic Modeling Group. Later, Stu Galley, also of the Dynamic Modeling Group, wrote the MDL documentation. MDL was initially called ''Muddle''. This style of self-deprecating humor was not widely understood or appreciated outside of Project MAC. So the name was sanitized to MDL. MDL provides several enhancements to classic Lisp. It support ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Source (game Engine)
Source is a 3D game engine developed by Valve. It debuted as the successor to GoldSrc in 2004 with the releases of '' Half-Life: Source'', '' Counter-Strike: Source'', and '' Half-Life 2''. Valve used Source in many of their games in the following years, including '' Team Fortress 2'', '' Counter-Strike: Global Offensive'', ''Dota 2'', and the '' Portal'' and '' Left 4 Dead'' franchises. Other notable third-party games using Source include most games in the '' Titanfall'' franchise, '' Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines'', '' Dear Esther'', '' The Stanley Parable'' and '' Garry’s Mod''. Valve released incremental updates to Source before it was succeeded by Source 2 in 2015. History Source distantly originates from the GoldSrc engine, itself a heavily modified version of John Carmack's Quake engine with some code from the Quake II engine. Carmack commented on his blog in 2004 that "there are still bits of early ''Quake'' code in ''Half-Life 2''". Valve employee Er ...

Microsoft Design Language
Microsoft Design Language (or MDL), previously known as Metro, is a design language created by Microsoft. This design language is focused on typography and simplified Icon (computing), icons, absence of clutter, increased content to UI chrome, chrome ratio ("content before chrome"), and basic geometric shapes. Early examples of MDL principles can be found in Encarta, ''Encarta 95'' and MSN Dial-up#MSN 2.0, MSN 2.0. The design language evolved in Windows Media Center and Zune and was formally introduced as Metro during the unveiling of Windows Phone 7. It has since been incorporated into several of the company's other products, including the Xbox 360 system software and the Xbox One system software, Windows 8, Windows Phone, and Outlook.com. Before the "Microsoft design language" title became official, Microsoft executive Qi Lu (computer scientist), Qi Lu referred to it as the modern UI design language in his MIXX conference keynote speech. According to Microsoft, "Met ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Minimum Description Length
Minimum Description Length (MDL) is a model selection principle where the shortest description of the data is the best model. MDL methods learn through a data compression perspective and are sometimes described as mathematical applications of Occam's razor. The MDL principle can be extended to other forms of inductive inference and learning, for example to estimation and sequential prediction, without explicitly identifying a single model of the data. MDL has its origins mostly in information theory and has been further developed within the general fields of statistics, theoretical computer science and machine learning, and more narrowly computational learning theory. Historically, there are different, yet interrelated, usages of the definite noun phrase "''the'' minimum description length ''principle''" that vary in what is meant by ''description'': * Within Jorma Rissanen's theory of learning, a central concept of information theory, models are statistical hypotheses and descri ...

Mobile Driver's License
A mobile driving licence (also mobile driver licence or mDL) is a mobile app that replaces a physical driving licence. An International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for the mobile driving licence (ISO/IEC 18013-5) was approved on 18 August 2021 and published on 30 September 2021. History Denmark In November 2020, Denmark publicly released a digital/mobile driving licence using a proprietary app implementation using a QR code, also not conforming to the ISO/IEC 18013-5 standard. Similar to Iceland's implementation, it is fully equivalent to physical IDs, however only valid in Denmark. Iceland Iceland was the second country in Europe to introduce a digital/mobile driver's licence in July 2020. Icelandic driving licence holders can request a digital version of their licence online by using their electronic ID (Icelandic: rafræn skilríki) and is issued as a .pkpass file loaded into the Wallet app on iPhone or a third-party app on Android.
