GOING FORWARD [12 records]

Record 1 2026-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Backward inference is tracing back or backward chaining, reasoning from effect to cause, or from what is acted upon to actor. In general, backward inference has higher inferential strength than forward inference. As we are tracing backward from the effect or consequence to what has happened before, there is a closed or much restricted reasoning space and, thus, lower probability of going wrong.

Key term(s)
  • backward chaining inference

Record 2 2025-02-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
CONT

Spinning or tumbling net shots are shots where the player makes the shuttle spin so that it does not go too high, and lands close to the net. This shot is executed by slicing the shuttle when it is right over the net. The player needs to take the shuttle as high as possible to make this move work. By slicing the shuttle, the player prevents the shuttle from going any higher. All the upwards and forward moving momentum is transferred into the spin. The shuttle would stay stationary for a second as it spins before dropping down onto the floor.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
DEF

A brake fitted to a trailer or other towed vehicle that prevents the towed vehicle travelling faster than the towing vehicle when slowing down or descending an incline.

CONT

The principle of an overrun brake is very simple. If the car slows down or brakes, the trailer, caravan, boat trailer or horsebox wants to push forward. This is called overrun. In order to prevent that the towed object going too fast for the car due to its mass, the overrun brake kicks in. There is a sliding piece mounted to the drawbar near the coupling. This contracts as soon as the towed object tries to overrun the car. As a result, the brake cables are pulled and the towed vehicle brakes. The result is that the trailer, caravan, boat trailer or horsebox slows down. Increased pushing force results in increased braking force.

go forward : This verb is frequently used in the gerund form("going forward") as a legitimate noun or adjective in a sentence, then it's correct :"Still new to driving the forklift, Teresa finds going forward easier than going backward. "(noun, object of verb "finds") ;"The proposal going forward is not the one that the residents approved, but rather a pale imitation of their grandiose plan. "(adjective, describes noun "proposal"). However, when the gerund "going forward" is tacked on to a sentence like "Thanks to the recent electoral reforms, we expect more equitable representation and higher voter turnout going forward, "it simply dangles. Dangling modifiers are not grammatically correct.
