HARD APPROACH [18 records]

Record 1 2024-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Software
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

deadline-driven real-time scheduling.

CONT

One of the main difficulties in hard real time systems is to determine the priority values of the control processes. Usually, these computations are done in such a way that the scheduler either does not optimize processor utilisation or is too much specific to the controlled system. In the deadline real time scheduling approach, priorities are computed by the scheduler itself, leading thus to a better processor utilisation and to more generality.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Logiciels
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

Les algorithmes d'ordonnancement temps réel par échéance calculent eux-mêmes les priorités des processus en fonction de paramètres divers dépendant aussi bien des processus que de l'état global du système. Cela garantit ainsi un meilleur rendement des processeurs tout en rendant les algorithmes d'ordonnancement moins spécifiques. Le côté adaptatif de certains de ces ordonnanceurs les rend particulièrement intéressants pour la réalisation de systèmes temps réel durs décentralisés.

CONT

Ordonnancement temps réel par échéance.

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Alternative Dispute Resolution
CONT

Hard bargaining. Hard bargaining strategies emphasize results over relationships. Hard bargainers will insist that their demands be completely agreed to and accepted before any agreement is possible. While this approach avoids the need to make concessions, it also reduces the likelihood of successfully negotiating an agreement, and usually harms the relationship with the other party as well.

Record 3 2012-01-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
DEF

The result of hitting the tennis ball with a tennis racquet; sometimes refers to the actual placement of the ball or manner in which it is struck.

CONT

A shot is the combination of a stroke and the situation in which it is used.

OBS

"Long" is an informal expression used to indicate that a shot went out past the baseline. Important nuance: a "stroke" implies early preparation and a complete follow through. If one were to envision a stroke, one would see a series of sequences, ending with a "shot", i.e. the result of all of the above. Consequently, a "shot" is the result of the "stroke". "Shot" implies a quick, sharp movement because one is focusing on the end result, not the series of sequences leading up to it. A "blow" is rather an imprecise, general term similar in meaning to "shot". Although many would like to maintain these nuances in English, "shot" and "stroke" are often used synonymously. "Blow" is used only rarely. Note, however that although there are two possible equivalents ("coup" and "frappe") in French, neither are semantically identical to the English offerings. The Spanish term "pegada" works well as an equivalent for "shot", although technically the term more specifically refers to the actual hitting action caused by the racket coming in contact with the ball, and not to the end result [cause vs effect].

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
OBS

Ice climbing is broadly divided into two spheres, alpine ice and water ice. Alpine ice is found in a mountain environment, usually requires an approach to reach, and is often climbed in an attempt to summit a mountain. Water ice is usually found on a cliff or other outcropping beneath water flows. Alpine ice is frozen precipitation whereas water ice is a frozen liquid flow of water. Both types of ice vary greatly in consistency according to weather conditions. Ice can be soft, hard, brittle or tough.

OBS

Ice climbing ... is the activity of ascending inclined ice formations. Usually, though, ice climbing refers to roped and protected climbing of features such as icefalls, frozen waterfalls, and cliffs and rock slabs covered with ice refrozen from flows of water.

OBS

Briefly, the landing distance is measured, horizontally, from the point at which the aircraft is 50 feet above the surface, in steady gliding flight at an approach speed not less than 1. 3 times the stalling speed, to the point at which the aircraft is brought to a complete stop on a hard, dry, smooth runway surface.
