Podgorje pri Pišecah


Podgorje pri Pišecah () is a settlement in the hills west of Bizeljsko in the Municipality of Brežice in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Lower Sava Statistical Region. Podgorje pri Pišecah is a scattered settlement extending from the Dramlja Valley in the southeast to the Orlica Hills in the northwest, rising to the village's higest point at Big Peak (, ). It includes the hamlets of Banovec (), Brestovec, Debevec, Dramlje,

Miklósi and Soproni described pointing as a "species specific, human communicative gesture" not regularly used by any other species of primates living in the wild. Kita concluded similarly that "on the evidence to date only humans use the pointing gesture declarative to share attention with conspecifics."

These differ in what they use for the four sound sources, and what processing is done to the sound after the vector synthesis stage. The actual vector synthesis concept is identical.

Projective harmonic conjugate


In projective geometry, the harmonic conjugate point of an ordered triple of points on the real projective line is defined by the following construction: The point "D" does not depend on what point "L" is taken initially, nor upon what line through "C" is used to find "M" and "N". This fact follows from Desargues theorem. In real projective geometry, harmonic conjugacy can also be defined in terms of the cross-ratio as . The four points are sometimes called a harmonic range

Recovery point


A recovery point is a part of a car which can be used to recover the vehicle if it becomes stuck (bogged.) Recovering a vehicle using a recovery point involves attaching a winch or a snatch strap to the recovery point. Recovery points should be rated - that is, should say what load they are designed to take. Using non-rated parts of a vehicle to recover it can be extremely dangerous. Recovery points may be fitted by the manufacturer, or as an after-market modification. Of note,

Ancient commentators agree that what Aristotle means here is that his treatise must rely upon practical, everyday knowledge of virtuous actions as the starting points of his inquiry

The Gazzi-Dickinson method is a point-counting technique used in geology to statistically measure the components of a sedimentary rock, chiefly sandstone. The main focus (and most controversial) part of the technique is counting all sand-sized components as separate grains, regardless of what they are connected to. Gazzi-Dickinson point counting is used in the creation of ternary diagrams, such as QFL diagrams. To perform a point count using the Gazzi-Dickinson method, a randomly selected thin section from a sedimentary rock is needed

For example, the 1998 edition of "Fowler's Modern English Usage" used "full point" for the character after

A percentage point or percent point is the unit for the arithmetic difference of two percentages. For example, moving up from 40% to 44% is a 4 "percentage point" increase, but is a 10 percent increase in what is being measured. In the literature, the percentage point unit is usually either written out, or abbreviated as "pp" or "p.p." to avoid ambiguity. After the first occurrence, some writers abbreviate by using just "point" or "points". Consider the following

Richardson–Lucy deconvolution


The Richardson–Lucy algorithm, also known as Lucy–Richardson deconvolution, is an iterative procedure for recovering an underlying image that has been blurred by a known point spread function. It was named after William Richardson and Leon Lucy, who described it independently. When an image is produced using an optical system and detected using photographic film or a charge coupled device for instance, it is inevitably blurred, with an ideal point source not appearing as a point but being spread out into what is known as the point spread function.

Action points were spent with each action, and based on what percentage of an acting character's total action points were used, that character would need to wait a varying amount of time before taking action again.

For example, "understanding" is what you mean when you say "I understand". "Knowledge" is what you mean when you say "I know that". The point is, you "already know" what "understanding" or "knowledge" are, at least implicitly. Philosophers are ill-advised to construct new definitions for these terms, because this

, the band announced its presentation at the Mexico Metal Fest in Monterrey, Mexico in 2019. Despite playing a handful of reunion shows, Ihsahn has stated that Emperor has no plans to record a new album. He was quoted as saying: "It's kind of a lose-lose thing. The whole point of black metal, people want something that is real and has integrity of what it is. At this point, none of us can see any reason to do that beyond what we already do." Ihsahn

Feed rate is dependent on the: When deciding what feed rate to use for a certain cutting operation, the calculation is fairly straightforward for single-point cutting tools, because all of the cutting work is done at one point (done by "one

Neocentromere


raises many questions on what is necessary versus what is sufficient for constituting a centromere. As neocentromeres are still a relatively new phenomenon in cell biology and genetics, it may be useful to keep in mind that neocentromeres may be somewhat related to point centromeres, holocentromeres, and regional centromeres. Whereas point centromeres are defined by sequence, regional and holocentromeres are epigenetically defined by where a specific type of nucleosome (the one containing the centromeric histone H3) is located. It may also be analytically helpful to take into account that the centromere

Analytical jurisprudence


). Indeed, it was the analytical jurists who first pointed out that legal formalism is fundamentally mistaken as a theory of law. Analytic, or 'clarificatory' jurisprudence uses a neutral point of view and descriptive language when referring to the aspects of legal systems. This was a philosophical development that rejected natural law's fusing of what law is and what it ought to be. David Hume famously argued in "A Treatise of Human Nature" that people invariably slip between describing that the world is a certain way to saying therefore

You really hear what my voice sounds like, for the first time." At one point Flowers was told that Brian Eno had passed over the chance to produce

Perspective images are calculated assuming a particular vanishing point. In order for the resulting image to appear identical to the original scene, a viewer of the perspective must view the image from the exact vantage point used in the calculations relative to the image. This cancels out what would appear to be distortions in the image when viewed from a different point. These apparent distortions are more pronounced

Its SaaS platform,now in use by Lux Research, measures energy use from its source through the site of consumption. By measuring what is known as "source energy," the company is able to convert all energy sources, including water, electricity, fuels, and materials, into a single common unit. Energy Points was founded in May 2011 by Dr. Ory Zik and Roy Stein and is based in Boston, Massachusetts. In

Two-point discrimination


Two-point discrimination (2PD) is the ability to discern that two nearby objects touching the skin are truly two distinct points, not one. It is often tested with two sharp points during a neurological examination and is assumed to reflect how finely innervated an area of skin is. In clinical settings, two-point discrimination is a widely used technique for assessing tactile perception. It relies on the ability and/or willingness of the patient to subjectively report what they are feeling and should be completed with the patient’s eyes closed.

In this case the equation above is reduced to: One distinguishes the following cases: We can check whether there is an irregular singular point at infinity by using the substitution formula_7 and the relations: We can thus transform the equation to an equation in "w", and check what happens at "w"=0.
