Brill Tramway
The Brill Tramway, also known as the Quainton Tramway, Wotton Tramway, Oxford & Aylesbury Tramroad and Metropolitan Railway Brill Branch, was a six-mile (10 km) rail line in the Aylesbury Vale, Buckinghamshire, England. It was privately built in 1871 by the Richard Plantagenet Campbell Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, 3rd Duke of Buckingham as a Horsecar, horse tram line to help transport goods between his lands around Wotton House and the national rail network. Lobbying from the nearby village of Brill, Buckinghamshire, Brill led to its extension to Brill and conversion to passenger use in early 1872. Two locomotives were bought, but trains still travelled at an average speed of . In 1883, the Duke of Buckingham planned to upgrade the route to main line standards and extend the line to Oxford, creating the shortest route between Aylesbury and Oxford. Despite the backing of the wealthy Ferdinand de Rothschild, investors were det ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brill Building
The Brill Building is an office building at 1619 Broadway on 49th Street in the New York City borough of Manhattan, just north of Times Square and farther uptown from the historic musical Tin Pan Alley neighborhood. The Brill Building housed music industry offices and studios where some of the most popular American songs were written. It is considered to have been the center of the American music industry that dominated the pop charts in the early 1960s. It was built in 1931 as the Alan E. Lefcourt Building, after the son of its builder Abraham E. Lefcourt, and designed by Victor Bark Jr. Gray, Christopher"Streetscapes: The Brill Building: Built With a Broken Heart" ''The New York Times'', December 30, 2009.

USS Brill (SS-330)
USS ''Brill'' (SS-330), a ''Balao''-class submarine, was a ship of the United States Navy in commission from 1944 to 1947. She was named for the brill, a European flatfish. ''Brill'' was commissioned late in World War II, and her war operations extended from 28 January to 9 August 1945. She completed three war patrols in the South China Sea and the Gulf of Siam. ''Brill'' made few contacts worthy of torpedo fire and consequently had to settle for damaging an unidentified ship of approximately 1,000 gross register tons as her only score. Decommissioned soon after World War II, ''Brill'' was transferred to Turkey. She served in the Turkish Navy as TCG ''Birinci İnönü'' (S330) from 1948 to 1972. Construction and commissioning ''Brill'' was laid down on 23 September 1943 at Groton, Connecticut, by the Electric Boat Company. She was launched on 25 June 1944, sponsored by Mrs. Francis S. Low, wife of Rear Admiral Francis S. Low, and commissioned on 26 October 1944, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brill Tagger
The Brill tagger is an inductive method for part-of-speech tagging. It was described and invented by Eric Brill in his 1993 PhD thesis. It can be summarized as an "error-driven transformation-based tagger". It is: * a form of supervised learning, which aims to minimize error; and, * a transformation-based process, in the sense that a tag is assigned to each word and changed using a set of predefined rules. In the transformation process, if the word is known, it first assigns the most frequent tag, or if the word is unknown, it naively assigns the tag "noun" to it. High accuracy is eventually achieved by applying these rules iteratively and changing the incorrect tags. This approach ensures that valuable information such as the morphosyntactic construction of words is employed in an automatic tagging process. Algorithm The algorithm starts with initialization, which is the assignment of tags based on their probability for each word (for example, "dog" is more often a noun than a ...

Brill (fish)
The brill (''Scophthalmus rhombus'') is a species of flatfish in the turbot family (Scophthalmidae) of the order Pleuronectiformes. Brill can be found in the northeast Atlantic, Black Sea, Baltic Sea, and Mediterranean, primarily in deeper offshore waters. Brill are usually in shallow waters or below 100 meters at seafloor. Brill prefers to live on the surface that is either sandy or muddy depending on where they are. Brill have slender bodies, brown covered with lighter and darker coloured flecks, excluding the tailfin; the underside of the fish is usually cream coloured or pinkish white. Like other flatfish the brill has the ability to match its colour to the surroundings. The Brill average lifespan is 6 years and they weigh up to and can reach a length of , but are less than half that on average. Part of the dorsal fin of the fish is not connected to the fin membrane, giving the fish a frilly appearance. They are sometimes confused with the turbot (''Scophthalmus maximus'' ...

Brill–Noether Theory
In algebraic geometry, Brill–Noether theory, introduced by , is the study of special divisors, certain divisors on a curve that determine more compatible functions than would be predicted. In classical language, special divisors move on the curve in a "larger than expected" linear system of divisors. Throughout, we consider a projective smooth curve over the complex numbers (or over some other algebraically closed field). The condition to be a special divisor can be formulated in sheaf cohomology terms, as the non-vanishing of the cohomology of the sheaf of sections of the invertible sheaf or line bundle associated to . This means that, by the Riemann–Roch theorem, the cohomology or space of holomorphic sections is larger than expected. Alternatively, by Serre duality, the condition is that there exist holomorphic differentials with divisor on the curve. Main theorems of Brill–Noether theory For a given genus , the moduli space for curves of genus should contain ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brill Brothers
This is a list of characters in the ''Artemis Fowl'' novel series by Eoin Colfer. Overview * A dark grey cell indicates that the character was not in the property or that the character's presence in the property has yet to be announced. * A Main indicates a character had a starring role in the property. * A Recurring indicates the character appeared in two or more times within the property. * A Guest indicates the character appeared once in the property. A Leon Abbot Leon Abbot emerges as the primary antagonist in '' Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony''. Described as a demon opposing the time- spell during the battle of Taillte, he disrupts a circle of warlocks engaged in a spellcasting ritual. Abbot adopts the demon name N'zall, translating to "little horn" in ancient demon language, which reflects his resentment toward older demons. However, he prefers the moniker "Leon Abbot," derived from a character in the book ''Lady Heatherington Smythe's Hedgerow,'' whom he admire ...
