Unreferenced date August 2007 Opus quadratum is an ancient Roman construction technique, in which squared blocks of stone of the same height were set in parallel courses, often without the use of Mortar masonry mortar . Technique This technique was used by the Romans from about the 6th century BC and over time, the precision and accuracy of the block cutting improved. The technique continued to be used throughout the age of the Roman Empire , even after the introduction of mortar, and was often used in addition to other techniques. The type of stone, the size of the blocks, and the way the blocks were put together can all be used to help archeologists date structures that display the technique. Etruscan way In early usage often called the Etruscan way , the joints between the blocks introduce discontinuities, making the blocks uneven. Examples of such construction can be found in reservoirs, basements, terrace walls, and temple podiums in Etruscan civilization Etruscan cities and Rome . Greek way Subsequently the Greek way , the blocks would be placed in one of two rotations. Stretchers would be placed so the longer side was on the face of the wall, and headers would be placed so the shorter side was on the face of the wall, and would thus extend further back into the wall thickness. Various patterns could be produced by changing how the blocks were placed, and it was common to strengthen the wall by ensuring that the joints between blocks were centered over the blocks in the row below.

Unreferenced date December 2009 B sub 0 sub , that is B subscript zero , is also generally used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging to denote the net magnetization vector . Although in physics and mathematics the notation to represent a physical quantity can be arbitrary, it is generally accepted in the literature, such as the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine that B sub 0 sub represents net magnetization. This is particularly prominent in areas of science where magnetic fields are important such as spectroscopy . By convention, B sub 0 sub is interpreted as a vector geometric vector quantity pointing the z direction, with subsequent x and y cartesian coordinate system cartesian axes oriented with the right hand rule . B sub 0 sub is also the symbol often used to denote the reference magnetization in which equations with electromagnetic fields are normalized.

about a search algorithm variant of B Tree B tree graph search algorithm In computer science , B pronounced B star is a best first search best first graph search algorithm that finds the least cost path from a given initial node graph theory node to any goal node out of one or more possible goals . First published by Hans Berliner in 1979, it is related to the A search algorithm . Summary The algorithm stores intervals for nodes of the tree graph theory tree as opposed to single point valued estimates. Then, leaf nodes of the tree can be searched until one of the top level nodes has an interval which is clearly best. Details Interval evaluations rather than estimates Leaf nodes of a B tree are given evaluations that are intervals rather than single numbers. The interval is supposed to contain the true value of that node. If all intervals attached to leaf nodes satisfy this property, then B will identify an optimal path to the goal state. Backup process To back up the intervals within the tree ... might supply these bounds.
