Zigzag
A zigzag is a pattern made up of small corners at variable angles, though constant within the zigzag, tracing a path between two parallel lines; it can be described as both jagged and fairly regular. In geometry, this pattern is described as a Infinite skew polygon, skew apeirogon. From the point of view of symmetry, a regular zigzag can be generated from a simple motif like a line segment by repeated application of a glide reflection. Although the origin of the word is unclear, its first printed appearances were in French-language books and ephemera of the late 17th century. Examples of zigzags * The trace of a triangle wave or a sawtooth wave is a zigzag. * Pinking shears are designed to cut cloth or paper with a zigzag edge, to lessen fraying. * In sewing, a ''zigzag stitch'' is a sewing machine, machine stitch in a zigzag pattern. * The zigzag arch is an architectural embellishment used in Islamic architecture, Islamic, Byzantine architecture, Byzantine, Norman archite ...

ZigZag (software)
ZigZag is a data model, invented by Ted Nelson, that deconstructs the spreadsheet to allow irregular relations, at the same time generalizing the idea to multiple dimensions. The design is centered on an information structure called a ''zzstructure'' and its interactive visualizations. Instead of conventional linear text or tree structures, zzstructure is a multidimensional extension of a spreadsheet whose cells can contain various kinds of data. Whereas conventional spreadsheet software requires a rectangle of equal-length rows, the ZigZag model holds arbitrary structures of cells—as long as they are orthogonally connected (left edge to right edge, top edge to bottom, and so on in as many dimensions as desired). At any moment, the display shows any two dimensions in table form, but only existing cells are shown—what would be empty space on a spreadsheet simply does not exist. Users can pivot the display about any cell to efficiently "rotate" any unseen dimension in place of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Boustrophedon Transform
In mathematics, the boustrophedon transform is a procedure which maps one sequence to another. The transformed sequence is computed by an "addition" operation, implemented as if filling a triangular array in a boustrophedon (zigzag- or serpentine-like) manner—as opposed to a "raster scan" sawtooth-like manner. Definition The boustrophedon transform is a numerical, sequence-generating transformation, which is determined by a binary operation such as addition. Generally speaking, given a sequence: (a_0, a_1, a_2, \ldots), the boustrophedon transform yields another sequence: (b_0, b_1, b_2, \ldots), where b_0 is likely defined equivalent to a_0. The entirety of the transformation itself can be visualized (or imagined) as being constructed by filling-out the triangle as shown in Figure 1. Boustrophedon Triangle To fill-out the numerical Isosceles triangle (Figure 1), you start with the input sequence, (a_0, a_1, a_2, \ldots), and place one value (from the input sequence) per ...

Zigzag Bluff
The Herbert Range () is a range in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica, extending from the edge of the Antarctic Plateau to the Ross Ice Shelf between the Axel Heiberg Glacier and Strom Glacier. Named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) for Walter W. Herbert, leader of the Southern Party of the New Zealand GSAE (1961–62) which explored the Axel Heiberg Glacier area. Course The Herbert Range runs from west to east between the Axel Heiberg Glacier to the south and the Strom Glacier to the north. Peaks in the west include Gjelsvik Peak, Mount Fridtjof Nansen, Webster Knob and Mount Balchen. Peaks further east include Bell Peak, Mount Cohen, Zigzag Bluff and Mount Betty, to the north of Bigend Saddle. Cohen Glacier runs north from Mount Cohen to join Strom Glacier. Sargent Glacier runs southwest from Mount Cohen to join Axel Heiberg Glacier. Features Geographical features include: Gjelsvik Peak . A peak, high, standing northwest of Mount Fridtjof Na ...

Zigzag River
The Zigzag River is a tributary, about long, of the Sandy River in the U.S. state of Oregon. The Zigzag and one of its major tributaries, the Little Zigzag River, drain the Zigzag Glacier on Mount Hood, a high volcanic peak in the Cascade Range. Their waters flow westward to meet the Sandy River near the community of Zigzag. The river's flow ranges from . The dramatic topography of the Mississippi Head escarpment dominates the upper Zigzag River, where the Timberline Trail crosses the Zigzag River and the Paradise Park Loop Trail crosses a tributary. Avalanches have necessitated rebuilding of the Timberline Trail switchbacks on the southeast side of the river; the Pacific Crest Trail also follows this route. Seventy-five-foot (23 m) Little Zigzag Falls on the Little Zigzag River is one of the three most popular off-road locations in the Zigzag basin, along with Mirror Lake on the Camp Creek tributary and the area just west of Timberline Lodge under three ski lifts ...

Zigzag Ranger Station
The Zigzag Ranger Station is a United States Forest Service, Forest Service compound consisting of twenty Rustic architecture, rustic buildings located in Oregon's Mount Hood National Forest. It was built as the administrative headquarters for the Zigzag Ranger District. It is located in the small unincorporated community of Zigzag, Oregon. Many of the historic buildings were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1933 and 1942. Today, the Forest Service still uses the ranger station as the Zigzag Ranger District headquarters. The ranger station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. History In the early 20th century, the forest road networks were not well developed. To facilitate work in United States National Forest, National Forests, the Forest Service built district ranger stations at strategic locations within the forest to house full-time employees and provide logistics support to fire patrols and project crews working at remote forest site ...

Zigzag Glacier
Zigzag Glacier is an alpine glacier located on the upper southwest slopes of Mount Hood in the U.S. state of Oregon. It ranges in elevation from with fingers in canyons extending to about , and lies almost entirely within Mount Hood Wilderness. The upper extent is divided from Reid Glacier by Illumination Rock. The top of the glacier is at the foot of Crater Rock. The glacier is bounded on the east by a slight rise shared with the Palmer Glacier (a popular skiing area north of Timberline Lodge since the 1930s) and on the northwest by Reid Glacier. It is the source of the Zigzag River which has eroded a large, steep canyon named Zigzag Canyon. Below the glacier, its snowfield varies significantly seasonally, varying in length by almost two miles (3.2 km). In 1922, a jökulhlaup originating from Zigzag Glacier as a flow of dark debris came out of a crevasse high on the glacier. It flowed on the surface more than 650 m (2100 ft) before entering another crevass ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Battle Of Bataan (1945)
The Battle for the Recapture of Bataan ( Filipino: ''Labanan para sa Bataan'') from 31 January to 21 February 1945, by US forces and Allied Filipino guerrillas from the Japanese, part of the campaign for the liberation of the Philippines, was waged to secure the western shore of Manila Bay to enable the use of its harbor and open new supply lines for American troops engaged in the crucial battle for the liberation of Manila. The Bataan peninsula's recapture also avenged the surrender of the US Army Luzon Force to invading Japanese forces on 9 April 1942. Background The rapid advance of US forces heading towards Manila had strained the capability of their supply lines at Lingayen Gulf almost to the breaking point. While the capture of Manila was significant for both military and psychological reasons, the seizure of Manila Bay was crucial from a logistical point of view. Its harbor was in American hands but would remain unused until the Bataan peninsula and the island ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
ZigZag Encoding
A variable-length quantity (VLQ) is a universal code that uses an arbitrary number of binary octets (eight-bit bytes) to represent an arbitrarily large integer. A VLQ is essentially a base-128 representation of an unsigned integer with the addition of the eighth bit to mark continuation of bytes. VLQ is identical to LEB128 except in endianness. See the example below. Applications and history Base-128 compression is known by many namesVB (Variable Byte), VByte, Varint, VInt, EncInt etc.Jianguo Wang; Chunbin Lin; Yannis Papakonstantinou; Steven Swanson"An Experimental Study of Bitmap Compression vs. Inverted List Compression". 2017. .
