The Stoning of Achan by Gustav Doré.Achan pillaged gold, silver, and a costly garment from Jericho, and was punished by stoning. [1]Herem or cherem (Hebrew: חרם, ḥērem), as used in the Tanakh, means something given over to the Lord, or under a ban, and sometimes refers to things or persons to be utterly destroyed.
The first four partial sums of the series 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ⋯.The parabola is their smoothed asymptote; its y-intercept is −1/12. [1]The infinite series whose terms ...
Deal 5: North bids 3 ♣ and makes 4 scoring 60 contract points below the line and 20 overtrick points above the line. Deal 6 : East bids and makes 6 ♦ - a small slam holding all five top honors. This scores a game of 120 contract points and earns a slam bonus of 750 points above the line (East-West being vulnerable). 150 honor points are ...
[1] The subset sum problem is a special case of the decision and 0-1 problems where each kind of item, the weight equals the value: =. In the field of cryptography, the term knapsack problem is often used to refer specifically to the subset sum problem. The subset sum problem is one of Karp's 21 NP-complete problems.
(1) The Type I bias equations 1.1 and 1.2 are not affected by the sample size n. (2) Eq(1.4) is a re-arrangement of the second term in Eq(1.3). (3) The Type II bias and the variance and standard deviation all decrease with increasing sample size, and they also decrease, for a given sample size, when x's standard deviation σ becomes small ...
so that we have continuity across the cut. This is illustrated in the diagram, where the two black oriented circles are labelled with the corresponding value of the argument of the logarithm used in z 3 ⁄ 4 and (3 − z) 1/4. We will use the contour shown in green in the diagram.
The difference between two points, themselves, is known as their Delta (ΔP), as is the difference in their function result, the particular notation being determined by the direction of formation: Forward difference: ΔF(P) = F(P + ΔP) − F(P); Central difference: δF(P) = F(P + 1 / 2 ΔP) − F(P − 1 / 2 ΔP);
The Greek philosopher Plato supported many similar political positions to fascism. [7] In The Republic (c. 380 BC), [8] Plato emphasizes the need for a philosopher king in an ideal state. [8] Plato believed the ideal state would be ruled by an elite class of rulers known as "Guardians" and rejected the idea of social equality. [7]
