    Examples of such operations are requesting a read operation, reading, writing, aborting, committing, requesting a lock, locking, etc. Often, only a subset of the transaction operation types are included in a schedule. Schedules are fundamental concepts in database concurrency control theory. In practice, most general purpose database systems ...

  3. Five-point stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-point_stencil

    In numerical analysis, given a square grid in one or two dimensions, the five-point stencil of a point in the grid is a stencil made up of the point itself together with its four "neighbors". It is used to write finite difference approximations to derivatives at grid points. It is an example for numerical differentiation.

  4. Ruled paper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruled_paper

    Initially, paper was ruled by hand, sometimes using templates. [1] Scribes could rule their paper using a "hard point," a sharp implement which left embossed lines on the paper without any ink or color, [2] or could use "metal point," an implement which left colored marks on the paper, much like a graphite pencil, though various other metals were used.

    For example, 1.5 × 30 (which equals 45) will show the same result as 1 500 000 × 0.03 (which equals 45 000). This separate calculation forces the user to keep track of magnitude in short-term memory (which is error-prone), keep notes (which is cumbersome) or reason about it in every step (which distracts from the other calculation requirements).

  6. Grid method multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_method_multiplication

    The grid method (also known as the box method) of multiplication is an introductory approach to multi-digit multiplication calculations that involve numbers larger than ten. Because it is often taught in mathematics education at the level of primary school or elementary school , this algorithm is sometimes called the grammar school method.

    6-3-5 Brainwriting (or 635 Method, Method 635) is a group-structured brainstorming technique [1] aimed at aiding innovation processes by stimulating creativity developed by Bernd Rohrbach who originally published it in a German sales magazine, the Absatzwirtschaft, in 1968.

  8. Gantt chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gantt_chart

    A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart [4] [5] that illustrates a project schedule. [6] This chart lists the tasks to be performed on the vertical axis, and time intervals on the horizontal axis. [ 4 ] [ 7 ] The width of the horizontal bars in the graph shows the duration of each activity.

    In both notations, the number of digits indicates the precision. For example, 5 × 10 3 means rounded to the nearest thousand; 5.0 × 10 3 to the nearest hundred; 5.00 × 10 3 to the nearest ten; and 5.000 × 10 3 to the nearest unit. Markup: {} and {} may be used to format exponential notation.
