DEF

Juego, desarrollado por el matemático inglés Alan Turing, para determinar si una computadora (ordenador) posee inteligencia.

CONT

La prueba de Turing fue la base de la inteligencia artificial y pretendía resolver por vía práctica la cuestión de si las máquinas pueden pensar.

OBS

Los participantes en el juego comprenden dos partes que dan respuestas (un ser humano y la computadora), y un examinador (también humano) que trata de determinar cuál de las dos partes que responden, y que él no puede ver, es el ser humano. De acuerdo con esta prueba la inteligencia y habilidad de la computadora (ordenador) quedaría demostrada si logra engañar al examinador.

La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que trasladando el sentido literal de la costumbre de esconder los "huevos de Pascua" en algunas culturas, se comenzó a emplear la metáfora en el mundo de la programación (sistemas operativos, videojuegos) para hacer referencia a mensajes, señales o detalles escondidos que sorprenden a los usuarios. [...] La traducción literal del anglicismo, "huevo de Pascua", que se ve ocasionalmente, no es una opción recomendable, ya que la metáfora en español puede no ser comprensible para todos los hablantes.

Hockey took its most important step forward in 1924 when the International Hockey Federation, the world governing body for the sport, was founded in Paris under the initiative of Frenchman, Paul Léautey. Mr. Léautey, who would become the first President of the FIH, was motivated to action following hockey's omission from the program of the 1924 Paris Games. Mr. Léautey called together representatives from seven national federations to form the sport's international governing body, the Fédération Internationale de Hockey sur Gazon... The women's game developed quickly in many countries and in 1927, the International Federation of Women's Hockey Associations(IFWHA) was formed.... After celebrating their respective Golden Jubilees-the FIH in 1974 and the IFWHA in 1980-the two organisations came together in 1982 to form the FIH.

Renovation... an intensive program of deep drilling was initiated to reach the gravel blanket located 18 to 20 inches beneath the surface. As the drills slowly permeated the turf profile, excavated soil was deposited on the surface. Each of the holes was then backfilled with clean sand to establish stable drainage channels between the surface and the gravel blanket. Excess sand and excavated soil were removed and the area brushed clean of all debris. An aggressive program of sand topdressing has augmented the sand blanket initially placed at the surface when sand-based sod was planted immediately following the Rutgers game in late September, 1993. The current system thus includes : 1. a porous sand blanket at the surface; 2. a highly porous gravel blanket located 18 to 20 inches below the surface; 3. multiple porous sand channels connecting the sand and gravel blankets.
