Adaptive tile refresh is a computer graphics technique for side-scrolling video games. It was most famously used by id Software 's John Carmack in games such as Commander Keen to compensate for the poor graphics performance of PCs in the early 1990s.
For example: 3 6; 3 6; 3 4.6, tells us there are 3 vertices with 2 different vertex types, so this tiling would be classed as a ‘3-uniform (2-vertex types)’ tiling. Broken down, 3 6 ; 3 6 (both of different transitivity class), or (3 6 ) 2 , tells us that there are 2 vertices (denoted by the superscript 2), each with 6 equilateral 3-sided ...
A bathtub, also known simply as a bath or tub, is a container for holding water in which a person or another animal may bathe. Most modern bathtubs are made of thermoformed acrylic , porcelain-enameled steel or cast iron , or fiberglass -reinforced polyester .
The bathtub curve has 3 regions: The first region has a decreasing failure rate due to early failures. The middle region is a constant failure rate due to random failures. The last region is an increasing failure rate due to wear-out failures. Not all products exhibit a bathtub curve failure rate.
Hexagonal tilings can be made with the identical {6,3} topology as the regular tiling (3 hexagons around every vertex). With isohedral faces, there are 13 variations. Symmetry given assumes all faces are the same color. Colors here represent the lattice positions. [2] Single-color (1-tile) lattices are parallelogon hexagons.

A close-up view of an Alberich tile, illustrating patterns of multiple holes with different diameters. The technology of anechoic tiles was developed by the Kriegsmarine during the Second World War, codenamed Alberich after the invisible guardian dwarf of the Rhinegold treasure from Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen music dramas.
The Tub (1886) is a pastel artwork by Impressionist artist, Edgar Degas (1834–1917). It is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris . Moving away from the traditional depictions of nude women, usually in reference to Aphrodite or Venus, Degas provides a snapshot to the intimate activities among average women in their day to day life.
