  2. Span (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Span_(engineering)

    In engineering, span is the distance between two adjacent structural supports (e.g., two piers) of a structural member (e.g., a beam). Span is measured in the horizontal direction either between the faces of the supports (clear span) or between the centers of the bearing surfaces (effective span): [1] A span can be closed by a solid beam or by ...

  3. Spun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spun

    Åkerlund made his debut as a feature film director with Spun, having already become known for his work in music videos. The film was shot in 22 days, and centers on various people involved in a methamphetamine drug ring. The film blends elements of dark comedy and drama in its storytelling. Its title is a reference to the slang term for the ...

  4. Eastern span replacement of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_span_replacement_of...

    The main span uses a single cable, spun using pre-bundled groups of wires from an anchor point at the eastern end of the main span, across an eastern corner horizontal deviation saddle, over a vertical deviation saddle on the eastern end, up and over the corresponding half of the main tower saddle, down to a 90-degree deviation saddle at the ...

  5. Span (category theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Span_(category_theory)

    There is a trivial span A ← A → B, where the left map is the identity on A, and the right map is the given map φ. If M is a model category , with W the set of weak equivalences , then the spans of the form X ← Y → Z , {\displaystyle X\leftarrow Y\rightarrow Z,} where the left morphism is in W, can be considered a generalised morphism ...

  6. Linear span - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_span

    In mathematics, the linear span (also called the linear hull [1] or just span) of a set of elements of a vector space is the smallest linear subspace of that contains . It is the set of all finite linear combinations of the elements of S , [ 2 ] and the intersection of all linear subspaces that contain S . {\displaystyle S.}

  7. Analysis of parallel algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_parallel...

    Minimizing the depth/span is important in designing parallel algorithms, because the depth/span determines the shortest possible execution time. [8] Alternatively, the span can be defined as the time T ∞ spent computing using an idealized machine with an infinite number of processors. [9] The cost of the computation is the quantity pT p. This ...

  8. Oswald efficiency number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_efficiency_number

    The Oswald efficiency, similar to the span efficiency, is a correction factor that represents the change in drag with lift of a three-dimensional wing or airplane, as compared with an ideal wing having the same aspect ratio and an elliptical lift distribution.
