Spectacle vivantLe spectacle vivant se caractérise par la coprésence d'actants (ceux qui donnent à voir et à entendre) et d'un public (ceux qui ont accepté de voir et d'entendre). En cela, le spectacle vivant désigne de nombreux modes d'expression artistique, de la représentation à l'improvisation : le théâtre, la danse, les arts du cirque, les arts de la rue, les arts de la marionnette, l'opéra, le spectacle de rue et la musique live.
Framework WebUn framework Web ou framework d'application Web est un framework logiciel conçu pour prendre en charge le développement d'applications Web, notamment des services Web, des ressources Web et des API Web. Les frameworks Web fournissent un moyen standard de créer et de déployer des applications Web sur le World Wide Web. Les frameworks Web visent à automatiser les mécanismes les plus courants du développement Web.
Ultimate tensile strengthUltimate tensile strength (also called UTS, tensile strength, TS, ultimate strength or in notation) is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking. In brittle materials the ultimate tensile strength is close to the yield point, whereas in ductile materials the ultimate tensile strength can be higher. The ultimate tensile strength is usually found by performing a tensile test and recording the engineering stress versus strain.
Modèle OSILe modèle OSI (de l'anglais Open Systems Interconnection) est une norme de communication, en réseau, de tous les systèmes informatiques. C'est un modèle de communications entre ordinateurs proposé par l'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) qui décrit les fonctionnalités nécessaires à la communication et l'organisation de ces fonctions.
Calcul distribuéUn calcul distribué, ou réparti ou encore partagé, est un calcul ou un traitement réparti sur plusieurs microprocesseurs et plus généralement sur plusieurs unités centrales informatiques, et on parle alors d'architecture distribuée ou de système distribué. Le calcul distribué est souvent réalisé sur des clusters de calcul spécialisés, mais peut aussi être réalisé sur des stations informatiques individuelles à plusieurs cœurs. La distribution d'un calcul est un domaine de recherche des sciences mathématiques et informatiques.
Convex preferencesIn economics, convex preferences are an individual's ordering of various outcomes, typically with regard to the amounts of various goods consumed, with the property that, roughly speaking, "averages are better than the extremes". The concept roughly corresponds to the concept of diminishing marginal utility without requiring utility functions. Comparable to the greater-than-or-equal-to ordering relation for real numbers, the notation below can be translated as: 'is at least as good as' (in preference satisfaction).
Specific strengthThe specific strength is a material's (or muscle's) strength (force per unit area at failure) divided by its density. It is also known as the strength-to-weight ratio or strength/weight ratio or strength-to-mass ratio. In fiber or textile applications, tenacity is the usual measure of specific strength. The SI unit for specific strength is Pa⋅m3/kg, or N⋅m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m2/s2, though the latter form is rarely used.
Preference (economics)In economics and other social sciences, preference refers to the order in which an agent ranks alternatives based on their relative utility. The process results in an "optimal choice" (whether real or theoretical). Preferences are evaluations and concern matter of value, typically in relation to practical reasoning. An individual's preferences are determined purely by a person's tastes as opposed to the good's prices, personal income, and the availability of goods. However, people are still expected to act in their best (rational) interest.
Distributed transactionA distributed transaction is a database transaction in which two or more network hosts are involved. Usually, hosts provide transactional resources, while the transaction manager is responsible for creating and managing a global transaction that encompasses all operations against such resources. Distributed transactions, as any other transactions, must have all four ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) properties, where atomicity guarantees all-or-nothing outcomes for the unit of work (operations bundle).
Shear strengthIn engineering, shear strength is the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure when the material or component fails in shear. A shear load is a force that tends to produce a sliding failure on a material along a plane that is parallel to the direction of the force. When a paper is cut with scissors, the paper fails in shear. In structural and mechanical engineering, the shear strength of a component is important for designing the dimensions and materials to be used for the manufacture or construction of the component (e.
