Unreferenced date March 2007 Backpacker is a term usually used for people who listen to underground hip hop underground Hip hop music hip hop Rap music rap . History Backpacker was originally a slang term from the 1980s for a graffiti artist who always wore a backpack containing his music collection and, more importantly, his aerosol paint spraypaint cans , markers , and spray nozzle spray tips . Typically, the music collection would consist of local underground hip hop underground rap hip hop music artists. The term gradually came to refer to someone with this musical taste, and now has almost nothing to do with graffiti although certain backpackers may participate in graffiti tagging. It has come full circle now and is sometimes used as a derogatory term by the mainstream to describe underground hip hop fans. Category Hip hop fashion hiphop stub ... more details

In four dimensions, the minimal N 1 supersymmetry may be written using a superspace . This superspace involves four extra fermionic coordinates math theta 1, theta 2, bar theta 1, bar theta 2 math , transforming as a two component spinor and its conjugate. Every superfield, i.e. a field that depends on all coordinates of the superspace, may be expanded with respect to the new fermionic coordinates. The generic kind of superfields, typically a vector superfield , indeed depend on all these coordinates. The last term in the corresponding expansion, namely math D theta 1 theta 2 bar theta 1 bar theta 2 math , is called the D term. Manifestly supersymmetric Lagrangian s may also be written as integral s over the whole superspace.

about F term in theoretical physics the patent classification used in Japan F term patent law Unreferenced date August 2009 In theoretical physics , one often analyzes theories with supersymmetry in which F terms play an important role. In four dimensions, the minimal N 1 supersymmetry may be written using a superspace . This superspace involves four extra fermionic coordinates math theta 1, theta 2, bar theta 1, bar theta 2 math , transforming as a two component spinor and its conjugate. Every superfield i.e. a field that depends on all coordinates of the superspace may be expanded with respect to the new fermionic coordinates. There exists a special kind of superfields, the so called chiral superfield s, that only depend on the variables math theta math but not their conjugates. The last term in the corresponding expansion, namely math F theta 1 theta 2 math , is called the F term. Applying an infinitesimal supersymmetry transformation to a chiral superfield results in yet another chiral superfield whose F term, in particular, changes by a total derivative. This is significant because then math int d 4x , F x math is invariant under SUSY transformations as long as boundary terms vanish. Thus F terms may be used in constructing supersymmetric actions. Manifestly supersymmetric Lagrangian s may also be written as integral s over the whole superspace. Some special terms, such as the superpotential , may be written as integrals over math theta math s only. They are also referred to as F terms, much like the terms in the ordinary potential that arise from these terms of the supersymmetric Lagrangian.

In mathematical logic , universal algebra , and rewriting system s, terms are expressions which can be recursive definition obtained from constant symbols, variable logic variables and function symbol logic function symbols . Constant symbols are the 0 ary functions, so no special syntactic class is needed for them. Terms that do not contain variables are known as ground term s they are used to form ground expression s. Term first order logic Terms in first order logic are essentially defined this way. Given a signature logic signature for the function symbols, the set of all possible terms that can be freely generated from the constants, variables and functions form a term algebra . An expression formed by applying a predicate logic predicate to a sequence of terms, whose length matches the arity of the predicate or one of the allowed arities, in the case of a multigrade operator multigrade predicate , is known as an atomic formula . In Principle of bivalence bivalent logics , given an interpretation logic interpretation , this atomic formula will then be true or false.

In Classical architecture a term or terminal figure is a human head and bust that continues as a square tapering pillarlike form. If the bust is of Hermes as protector of boundaries in ancient Greek culture, with male genitals interrupting the plain base at the appropriate height, it may be called a herma or herm . The crime of Alcibiades and his drinking mates, for which Socrates eventually indirectly paid with his life, was the desecration of herm figures through Athens in the dead of night. At the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Lady of Ephesus, whom the Greeks identified with Artemis, was a many breasted goddess encased in a tapering term, from which her feet protruded. See illustration at Temple of Artemis . In the architecture and the painted architectural decoration of the European Renaissance and the succeeding Classicism Classical styles , term figures are quite common. Often they represent minor deities associated with fields and vineyards and the edges of woodland, Pan mythology Pan and faun s and Bacchante s especially, and they may be draped with garlands of fruit and flowers. Term figures were a particularly characteristic feature of the 16th century style in furniture and carved interior decoration that is called Antwerp Mannerism . Engravings disseminated the style through Germany and England. Term figures as table supports or employed as candlestands French gu ridon were characteristic of the Late Baroque Louis XIV style in France, the Low Countries and England, revived in the neo Palladian furniture designed by William Kent and employed again in the French Empire style of the early 19th century.

Term Discrimination is a way to rank keywords in how useful they are for Information Retrieval . Overview This is a method similar to tf idf but it deals with finding keywords suitable for information retrieval and ones that are not. Please refer to Vector Space Model first. This method uses the concept of Vector Space Density that the less dense an occurrence matrix is, the better an information retrieval query will be. An optimal index term is one that can distinguish two different documents from each other and relate two similar documents. On the other hand, a sub optimal index term can not distinguish two different document from two similar documents. The discrimination value is the difference in the occurrence matrix s vector space density versus the same matrix s vector space without the index term s density. Let math A math be the occurrence matrix math A k math be the occurrence matrix without the index term math k math and math Q A math be density of math A math . Then The discrimination value of the index term math k math is math DV k Q A Q A k math How to compute Given an occurrency matrix math A math and one keyword math k math Find the global document centroid math C math this is just the average document vector Find the average euclidean distance from every document vector, math D i math to math C math Find the average euclidean distance from every document vector, math D i math to math C math IGNORING math k math The difference between the two values in the above step is the discrimination value for keyword math K math A higher value is better because including the keyword will result in better information retrieval.

In scholastic logic , a syncategorematic term syncategoremata is a word that cannot serve as the subject or the predicate of a proposition, and thus cannot stand for any of Aristotle s categories, but can be used with other terms to form a proposition.

Words that designate self sufficient entities i.e., nouns or adjectives were called categorematic, and those that do not stand by themselves were dubbed syncategorematic, i.e., prepositions, logical connectives, etc. . Priscian in his Institutiones grammaticae ref Priscian, Institutiones grammaticae , II, 15 ref translates the word as consignificantia . Scholastics retained the difference, which became a dissertable topic after the 13th century revival of logic.

An index term , subject term , subject heading , or descriptor , in information retrieval , is a term that captures the essence of the topic of a document. Index terms make up a controlled vocabulary for use in bibliographic record s. They are an integral part of bibliographic control, which is the function by which libraries collect, organize and disseminate documents. They are used as keywords to retrieve documents in an information system, for instance, a catalog or a search engine . A popular form of keywords on the web are tag metadata tags which are directly visible and can be assigned by non experts also. Index terms can consist of a word, phrase, or alphanumerical term. They are created by analyzing the document either manually with subject indexing or automatically with Index search engine automatic indexing or more sophisticated methods of keyword extraction. Index terms can either come from a controlled vocabulary or be freely assigned. Keywords are stored in a Index search engine search index . Common words like article grammar articles a, an, the and conjunctions and, or, but are not treated as keywords because it is inefficient to do so. Almost every English language site on the Internet has the article the , and so it makes no sense to search for it. The most popular search engine, Google removed stop words such as the and a from its indexes for several years, but then re introduced them, making certain types of precise search possible again.
