Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Mossad - Introduction

Mossad is one of the world's best-known and most highly regarded intelligence agencies. It is known for its efficiency, and some believe it has made a large contribution to the stability and security of Israel. Mossad was formed in December 1949 as the "Central Institute for Coordination", at the recommendation of Reuven Shiloah to Prime Minister David Ben Gurion. Shiloah wanted a central body to coordinate and improve cooperation between the existing security services — the army's intelligence department (AMAN), the General Securit ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Decorator pattern - Introduction

The decorator pattern allows new/additional behaviour to be added to an existing method of an object dynamically. This is done by wrapping the new "decorator" object around the original object, which is typically achieved by passing the original object as a parameter to the constructor of the decorator, with the decorator implementing the new functionality. The interface of the original object needs to be maintained by the decorator. Decorators are alternatives to subclassing. Subclassing adds behaviour at compile time wher ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Electronic correlation - Introduction

Within the Hartree-Fock method of quantum chemistry, the antisymmetric wave function is approximated by a single Slater determinant. Exact wave functions, however, cannot generally be expressed as single determinants. The single-determinant approximation does not take into account Coulomb correlation, leading to a total electronic energy different from the exact solution of the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. Therefore the Hartree-Fock limit is always above this exact energy. The difference is called t ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Panic attack - Introduction

Most sufferers of panic attacks report a fear of dying, "going crazy", or losing control of emotions or behavior. The experiences generally provoke a strong urge to escape or flee the place where the attack begins ("fight or flight" reaction) and, when associated with chest pain or shortness of breath, a feeling of impending doom and/or tunnel vision, frequently resulting in seeking aid from a hospital emerg ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Distance geometry - Introduction

A straight line is the shortest path between two points. Therefore the distance from A to B is no bigger than the length of the straight-line path from A to C plus the length of the straight-line path from C to B. This fact is called the triangle inequality. If that sum happens to be equal to the distance from A to B, then the three points A, B, and C lie on a straight ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Hypergeometric series - Introduction

A hypergeometric series could in principle be any formal power series in which the ratio of successive summands is a rational function of n. That is, for some polynomials and . Thus, for example, in the case of a geometric series, this ratio is a constant. Another example is the series for the exponential function, for which In practice the series is written as an exponential generating function, modifying the coefficients so that a general ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Spherical harmonics - Introduction

Laplace's equation in spherical coordinates is: (see nabla in cylindrical and spherical coordinates). Separation of variables leads to solutions expressed in terms of trigonometric functions and Legendre polynomials. Note that the spherical coordinates and in this article are used in the physicist's way, as opposed to the mathematician's definition of spherical coordinates. That is, is the colatitude or polar angle, ranging from and the azimuth or longitude, ranging from . The general solution which remains finite towards infinity is a linear combination of functions of the form< ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Controlling - Introduction

Controlling is a guidance subsystem within the enterprise , whose kernel function lies according to dominant opinion in the co-ordination (control). (the reduction of the Controlling term on "control" would be misleading thereby!) After a comprehensive definition "Controlling" can be understood as the "procurement, dressing and analysis from data to the preparation of objective-fair decisions " ((Berens, Wolfgang)). In demarcation to the management activity Controlling is to be understood as a decision-support activity. Control ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Ukrainian hryvnia - Introduction

The hryvnia replaced the karbovanets, the currency Ukraine used in the Soviet Union and within the ruble zone (karbovanets is the Ukrainian equivalent of ruble). One hryvnia equalled 100,000 karbovanets. Hryvnia is often transliterated as grivna or hryvna. The hryvnia is divided into 100 kopiykas (singular kopiyka). The hryvnia symbol is a cursive Ukrainian letter He, with a double horizontal stroke symbolizing stability. Hryvnia is abbreviated "грн." (hrn.) in Ukrainian. The hryvnia is represente ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Suspension bondage - Introduction

In partial suspension the bottom is bound in way that part of their body weight is held by suspension ropes, cables or chains. The classic partial suspension position is to have the bottom balancing on one foot with part of their weight supported through a chest harness and the other leg pulled up in some direction. A bottom lying on their upper back with legs tied upwards to a suspension point to pull their lower back off t ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Adaptive optics - Introduction

When light from a star or another astronomical object enters the Earth's atmosphere, turbulence introduced (for example, by different temperature layers and different wind speeds interacting) distort and move the image in various ways (see astronomical seeing for a full discussion). Images produced by any telescope larger than a few centimeters are blurred by these distortions. For example, a 2.5 m telescope is reduced in resolution by a factor of between 7 and 20; in the case of very large telescopes (8-10 m) (like the VLT or Keck), which are theoretically capable of milli-arcsecond ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Hyperreality - Introduction

Hyperrealism is a symptom of postmodern culture. Hyperreality does not "exist" or "not exist." It is simply a way of describing the information to which the consciousness is subject. Most aspects of hyperreality can be thought of as "reality by proxy." Baudrillard in particular suggests that the world we live in has been replaced by a copy world, where we seek simulated stimuli and nothing more. Baudrillard borrows, from Borges, the example of a society whose cartographers create a map so detailed that it covers the very things ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - National Insurance - Introduction

The name national insurance was adopted as an expression of the government's aspiration that the system should be qualitatively different from conventional general taxation such as income tax. The proposed differences that were enacted, or aspired to, included: the revenue was expected to roughly equate to current spending on contributory benefits no means testing of benefits - the amount of benefit paid in respect of any claim by a claimant was the same whether the claimant was rich or poor, depending onl ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Valkyrie - Introduction

In Norse mythology the valkyries are dísir, minor female deities, who serve Odin. The valkyries' purpose was to choose the most heroic of those who had died in battle and to carry them off to Valhalla where they became einherjar. This was necessary because Odin needed warriors to fight at his side at the preordained battle at the end of the world, Ragnarök. It appears, however, that there was no clear distinction between the valkyries and the norns. Skuld is for instance both a valkyrie and a norn, and in the Darraðarljóð (lines 1-52), the va ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Exarchate of Ravenna - Introduction

Ravenna became the capital of the Western Roman Empire in 404 under Honorius due to its fine harbor with access to the Adriatic and ideal defensive location. The city remained the capital of the Western Roman Empire until its dissolution in 476, when it became the capital of Odoacer, then of the Ostrogoths under King Theodoric. It remained the capital of Italia, Gallia Cisalpina, Dalmatia and Sicilia under the Ostrogoths, but in 540 at the close of the Gothic Wars, Ravenna was occupied by the great Byzantine general Belisarius. After the Roman reconque ...

Introduction: Encyclopedia II - Madonna art - Introduction

The depiction of Madonna has a deep and ancient tradition derived from the old Christian (mainly Orthodox) iconography and Byzantine art. The prevailing idea of these images is a so called Eleousa (Greek έλεος—"pity, regret, compassion") - the Loving Kindness—the idea of endless and unbounded love of the virgin to her son and humanity. It also expresses the grief and compassion. After the end of the Middle Ages a new comprehension of the holy images has arised. The emotional and expressive manner of drawing has given the birth to the great number of masterpieces. The tradition of painting of Madonna has ...
