Proof of authorityProof of authority (PoA) is an algorithm used with blockchains that delivers comparatively fast transactions through a consensus mechanism based on identity as a stake. The most notable platforms using PoA are VeChain, Bitgert, Palm Network and Xodex. In PoA-based networks, transactions and blocks are validated by approved accounts, known as validators. Validators run software allowing them to put transactions in blocks. The process is automated and does not require validators to be constantly monitoring their computers.
Near and far fieldThe near field and far field are regions of the electromagnetic (EM) field around an object, such as a transmitting antenna, or the result of radiation scattering off an object. Non-radiative near-field behaviors dominate close to the antenna or scattering object, while electromagnetic radiation far-field behaviors dominate at greater distances. Far-field E (electric) and B (magnetic) field strength decreases as the distance from the source increases, resulting in an inverse-square law for the radiated power intensity of electromagnetic radiation.
Forme binaireEn musique classique, la forme binaire est une structure musicale particulière de l'œuvre musicale composée de deux sections — A et B — exécutées deux fois chacune, soit : AABB. Sur une partition, la forme binaire est le plus souvent notée au moyen de barres de reprise. La section A s'achève habituellement dans une tonalité voisine — très souvent, la tonalité de la dominante. La section B au contraire, commence par cette tonalité voisine, et, après un nombre variable de modulations, s'achève sur la tonalité de départ.
