stacking and piling

Examples of stacking and piling in the following topics:

• Architecture in Mesopotamia

  • Domestic and public architecture in Mesopotamian cultures differed in relative simplicity and complexity.
  • Babylonian architecture featured pilasters and columns, as well as frescoes and enameled tiles.
  • Like pyramids, ziggurats were built by stacking and piling.
  • This impressive height and width would not have been possible without the use of ramps and pulleys.
  • Elsewhere on the gate and its connecting walls were painted floral motifs and bas reliefs of animals that were sacred to Ishtar, the goddess of fertility and war.

• Added Notes, Suspensions, and Extensions

  • You can continue to extend the chord by adding to the stack of thirds, or you can add any note you want.
  • Many of the higher added notes are considered extensions of the "stack of thirds" begun in the triad.
  • In other words, C2 and C9 both add a D, and C4 and C11 both add an F.
  • On the other hand, they will put the added note of a C11 at the top of the chord, far away from the bass note and piled up on top of all the other notes of the chord (including the third), which may include the 7 and 9 as well as the 11.
  • In an extended chord, all or some of the notes in the "stack of thirds" below the named note may also be added.

• Imperial Sculpture under the Nervan-Antonines

  • Imperial portraiture of men and women in the early- to mid second century reflects increasing austerity and interest in the Greeks.
  • This style matched his personality and interests.
  • Hercules's lion skin is draped over his head and around his shoulders and he often carries a club and sometimes the apples of the Hesperides.
  • The fashionable style among women during the reign of the Flavians had involved hairpieces and wigs to create a stack of curls on the crown of the head.
  • This profile view of Pompeia Plotina shows the long braid worn behind the crown-like pile of hair in the front.

• Epithelial Tissues

  • Epithelial tissues cover the outer surfaces of the body and the lumen of internal organs; they are classified by shape and number of layers.
  • They are also found in the walls of tubules and in the ducts of the kidney and liver.
  • Columnar epithelial cells are taller than they are wide: they resemble a stack of columns in an epithelial layer.
  • These cells absorb material from the lumen of the digestive tract and prepare it for entry into the body through the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
  • These cells are arranged in a stratified layer, but they have the capability of appearing to pile up on top of each other in a relaxed, empty bladder.

• Mistakes in Communication-Part II

  • His benevolence and open-mindedness made us all feel supported and free to grow.
  • Our group was asked to read and assess nearly 100 applications and résumés.
  • Normally, I'd have simply put an application like this on the "no further consideration" pile and gone on to the next candidate's.
  • On a whim, I put the young man's file on a stack to give to the other committee members for further review.
  • When I'd read all the applications and turned them over to the committee, guilt and embarrassment began gnawing at me.

• Simulating the study

  • Table 1.44 shows that 35 bank supervisors recommended promotion and 13 did not.
  • In this simulation, we thoroughly shuffle 48 personnel files, 24 labeled male sim and 24 labeled female sim, and deal these files into two stacks.
  • We will deal 35 files into the first stack, which will represent the 35 supervisors who recommended promotion.
  • The second stack will have 13 files, and it will represent the 13 supervisors who recommended against promotion.
  • Then, as we did with the original data, we tabulate the results and determine the fraction of male sim and female sim who were promoted.

• Summary

  • Unlike the structural and automorphic equivalence definitions, there may be many valid ways of classifying actors into regular equivalence sets for a given graph -- and more than one may be meaningful.
  • All are based on searching the neighborhoods of actors and profiling these neighborhoods by the presence of actors of other "types."
  • We have only touched the surface of regular equivalence analysis, and the analysis of roles in networks.
  • One major extensions that make role analysis far richer is the inclusion of multiple kinds of ties (that is, stacked or pooled matrices of ties).
  • Another extension is "role algebra" which seeks to identify "underlying" or "generator" or "master" relations from the patterns of ties in multiple tie networks (rather than simply stacking them up or adding them together).

• Summary and references

  • Competitive intelligence is the systematic collection and analysis of publicly available information about an industry and its competitors.
  • Competitive intelligence permits the firm to: (1) understand the industry's structure and its potential impact on the firm's performance, and (2) industry competitors' relative position in the marketplace.

  • Dorf, Richard C. and Thomas H.
  • "iPod, MP3 Accessories Pile On".

• Main Structures and Summary of Photosynthesis

  • The energy from sunlight drives the reaction of carbon dioxide and water molecules to produce sugar and oxygen, as seen in the chemical equation for photosynthesis.
  • Within the double membrane are stacked, disc-shaped structures called thylakoids.
  • A stack of thylakoids is called a granum, and the liquid-filled space surrounding the granum is the stroma or "bed."
  • Stacks of thylakoids called grana form a third membrane layer.
  • The stomata regulate carbon dioxide and water balance.

• Confocal Microscopy

  • The output is built into an image and transferred onto a digital computer screen for further analysis.
  • The slices are then stacked (Z-stack) to reconstruct the three-dimensional image of the biological sample.
  • Unlike in conventional fluorescence microscopy where the fluorescence is emitted along the entire illuminated cone creating a hazy image, in confocal microscopy the pinhole is added to allow passing of light that comes from a specific focal point on the sample and not the other.
  • Confocal microscopy has multiple applications in microbiology such as the study of biofilms and antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
  • Development of modern confocal microscopes has been accelerated by new advances in computer and storage technology, laser systems, detectors, interference filters, and fluorophores for highly specific targets.
