Multiple issues no footnotes August 2009 refimprove March 2009 context March 2009 The set of prefix es of right sentential form s that can appear on the stack of a shift reduce parser are called viable prefixes. An equivalent definition of a viable prefix is that it is a prefix of right sentential form that does not continue past the right end of the rightmost handle of that sentential form. By this definition, it is always possible to add terminal symbol s to the end of a viable prefix to obtain a right sentential form. Therefore, there is apparently no error as long as the portion of the input seen to a given point can be reduced to a viable prefix. Bibliography Database Systems The Complete Book with H.

In coding theory , the term refers to the Block code The distance d minimum distance of a block code . Calculation Geometry In the real plane, points P corresponding to all integer points i , j have a minimum distance of 1. In two dimensional geometry, the minimum distance between two points can be found using the Pythagorean theorem . Coding Theory In coding theory minimum distance is often calculated using the Hamming distance of two codewords. It can also be calculated in other ways. For example, the minimum distance of a linear code can be calculated by finding the smallest number of linearly dependent columns in its parity check matrix .

The value of D can be larger than 90 degree angle degree s. One of the factors that rainbow can be observed is due to bunching of light rays at the minimum deviation that is close to the rainbow angle . The angle of minimum deviation depends upon Wavelength of the light ray The angle of minimum deviation is smaller for shorter wavelengths and larger for longer wavelengths, so the red end of the spectrum deviates less than the violet end. Material of the prism The larger the refractive index of the material, the larger the angle of minimum deviation. Angle of prism A The larger the angle of prism, the larger the angle of minimum deviation. Angle of incidence i The angle of deviation is dependant on the angle of incidence in the form of a U shaped curve If a line is drawn parallel to the angle of incidence axis X axis , it cuts the graph at two points, showing that there are two values of angle of incidence for an angle of deviation.

In Marxist theory , a minimum programme consists of a series of demands for immediate Reform movement reforms and, in far fewer and less orthodox cases, also consists of a series of political demands which, taken as a whole, realise key democratic republican measures enacted by the Paris Commune and thus culminate in the strictly political dictatorship of the proletariat .

Image Sunspot Numbers.png thumb 400px right The Dalton minimum in the 400 year history of sunspot numbers The Dalton Minimum was a period of low Sunspot solar activity , named after the English meteorologist John Dalton , lasting from about 1790 to 1830. ref Komitov and Kaftan. Archibald says 1796 to 1820, p. 32. ref Like the Maunder Minimum and Sp rer Minimum , the Dalton Minimum coincided with a period of lower than average global temperatures. The Oberlach Station in Germany, for example, experienced a 2.0 c decline over 20 years. ref Archibald, p. 32. ref The precise cause of the lower than average temperatures during this period is not well understood. Recent papers have suggested that a rise in volcanism was largely responsible for the cooling trend. ref Wagner and Zorita, as well as Wilson. ref While The Year Without a Summer , in 1816, occurred during the Dalton Minimum the prime reason for that particular cold spike was the eruption of a Volcanic Explosivity Index Classification Super Colossal Volcano named Mount Tambora in Indonesia which was jointly one of the 2 largest eruptions in the past 2000 years.

Unreferenced date September 2007 Minimum harmonisation is a term used in European Union law . If a piece of law usually a European Union directive directive , but also a European Union regulation regulation on occasion , is described as minimum harmonisation, that means that it sets a threshold which national legislation must meet. However, national law may exceed the terms of the legislation if desired. It is usually easier to reach agreement on legislation drafted on this basis, as it allows existing national legislation on issues such as consumer protection or environment biophysical the environment to remain in place. Therefore, most European legislation has been implemented on this basis. In more recent years, however, the burden of EC law has led to calls for deregulation , and accusations that some member states still indulge in protectionism when implementing directives into national law through gold plating . Therefore, a growing minority of EU law contains maximum harmonisation provisions. It is quite common for a directive or recommendation to consist of a mixture of maximum harmonisation and minimum harmonisation clauses. Category European Union law Euro law stub ... more details
