TLA+
TLA+ is a formal specification language developed by Leslie Lamport. It is used for designing, modelling, documentation, and verification of programs, especially concurrent systems and distributed systems. TLA+ is considered to be exhaustively-testable pseudocode, and its use likened to Technical drawing, drawing blueprints for software systems; ''TLA'' is an acronym for Temporal Logic of Actions. For design and documentation, TLA+ fulfills the same purpose as informal technical specifications. However, TLA+ specifications are written in a formal language of logic and mathematics, and the precision of specifications written in this language is intended to uncover design flaws before system implementation is underway. Since TLA+ specifications are written in a formal language, they are amenable to finite model checking. The model checker finds all possible system behaviours up to some number of execution steps, and examines them for violations of desired Invariant (computer ...

Theatre Of Living Arts
The Theatre of Living Arts (known commonly as the TLA) is a concert venue that is located on South Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The venue, which opened in 1988, dates back to the early 1900s as a nickelodeon. Over the years, the venue has seen many incarnations ranging from concert hall to movie theatre to theatre. Known for its acoustics, it was voted as one of the best concert venues in America by ''Complex''. History The theatre opened in 1908 as the "Crystal Palace," seating nearly 700. In 1927, the venue became a concert hall. In 1941, Warner Bros. Circuit Management Corporation took over management of the venue converting it into a movie theatre. Along with the changes came a new name, the "New Palace Theatre." The theatre's popularity declined in the 50s. Through the efforts of two Philadelphia women, Celia Silverman and Jean Goldman, the building was acquired in 1963 in order to house a new non-profit theatre company, The Theatre of the Living Arts.

Teaching & Learning Academy
The Teaching & Learning Academy (TLA) is a multi-stage training and mentoring programme offered to teachers and other school staff in England. It is designed to offer "public and professional recognition for teachers' learning, development and improvement work". Teachers can work on their projects either individually or collaboratively. They can also work inside of their school or across counties. Six core dimensions At the heart of the TLA are six core dimensions, based on research relating to professional development for teachers. These dimensions are, engaging with the knowledge base, coaching and mentoring Mentorship is the patronage, influence, guidance, or direction given by a mentor. A mentor is someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person.

Temporal Light Artefacts
Temporal light artefacts (TLAs) are undesired effects in the visual perception of a human observer induced by temporal light modulations. Two well-known examples of such unwanted effects are '' flicker'' and ''stroboscopic effect''. Flicker is a directly visible light modulation at relatively low frequencies (80 Hz) and larger intensity variations. __TOC__ Relevance Various scientific committees have assessed the potential health, performance and safety-related aspects resulting from temporal light modulations. TLAs must be limited to certain levels to avoid annoyance due to the direct visibility by humans and to prevent potential health issues. After longer exposure, TLAs may reduce task performance and cause fatigue. Possible health effects for specific persons are photosensitive epileptic seizure, migraine and aggravation of autistic behavior. The incorrect perception of the motion of an object due to stroboscopic effect may be unacceptable in working environments with fa ...

Temporal Logic Of Actions
Temporal logic of actions (TLA) is a logic developed by Leslie Lamport, which combines temporal logic with a logic of actions. It is used to describe behaviours of concurrent and distributed systems. It is the logic underlying the specification language TLA+. Details Statements in the temporal logic of actions are of the form t, where ''A'' is an action and ''t'' contains a subset of the variables appearing in ''A''. An action is an expression containing primed and non-primed variables, such as x+x'*y=y'. The meaning of the non-primed variables is ''the variable's value in this state''. The meaning of primed variables is ''the variable's value in the next state''. The above expression means the value of ''x'' ''today'', plus the value of ''x'' ''tomorrow'' times the value of ''y'' ''today'', equals the value of ''y'' ''tomorrow''. The meaning of t is that either ''A'' is valid now, or the variables appearing in ''t'' do not change. This allows for stuttering steps, in whi ...

Three-letter Acronym
A three-letter acronym (TLA), or three-letter abbreviation is, as the phrase suggests, an abbreviation consisting of three letters. The term has a special status among abbreviations and to some is considered humorous since the term ''TLA'' is itself a three-letter acronym; it is an autological word. Most TLAs are initialisms (the initial letter of each word of a phrase), but most are not acronyms in the strict sense since they are pronounced by saying each letter, as in '' APA'' . Some are true acronyms (pronounced as a word) such as CAT (as in CAT scan) which is pronounced as the animal. Examples * Academic testing: ACT, SAT * Air Navigation Services ( ANS): AIS, ATC, ATM, ATS, CNS, FIS, MET, and SAR * IATA airport codes: LAX and LHR * Business: CEO, CFO, and other C-level officers * Canine registries: AKC and CKC * Chemistry, biology, and pharmaceuticals: GMO, LSD, and MSG * Clinical medicine: CAD, CHF, PSA, and SOB * Communications shorthand: LOL ...

Tour De Las Américas
The Tour de las Américas (TLA) was the principal men's professional golf tour throughout Latin America and the Caribbean from 2000 through to 2012 when it was superseded by the PGA Tour Latinoamérica. History Top level tournament golf in Latin America has had an unstable history. Some of the national open championships in the region are long established, but they did not traditionally form a coherent tour. From the late 1950s through to the mid 1970s the ''Caribbean Tour'', which was affiliated with the PGA Tour, comprised only a small number of tournaments but attracted entrants from leading European and American golfers. As interest from PGA Tour players dwindled, the tour eventually withdrew their support and the Caribbean Tour folded. The next attempt was the IMG promoted South American Tour, which began in 1979 with the existing national opens of the five leading Latin American countries and a circuit prize sponsored by Pierre Cardin. A new circuit was founded in 1991, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
