League And Self-Defense
League and Self-Defense (, LiS — also means fox in Polish) was a short-lived Polish political alliance between the left-wing populism, populist Self-Defense of the Republic of Poland (Samoobrona) and the national conservative Christian right League of Polish Families (LPR) in July 2007. The alliance was directed against right-wing populist Law and Justice (PiS) that first formed a coalition with both parties, but then gradually marginalized them and shuffled away their ministers. The coalition was marked by mutual distrust as the parties had radically different outlooks, tied together by Euroscepticism, opposition to capitalism and aversion to PiS. The coalition was only polling 6% (below the 8% threshold for coalitions), and was dissolved by September 2007, shortly before the election. In the 2007 Polish parliamentary election, both LPR and Samoobrona failed to reach the 5% electoral threshold, losing all their 92 Sejm and 10 Senate seats. The downfall of both parties is cons ...

Library And Information Science
Library and information science (LIS)Library and Information Sciences is the name used in the Dewey Decimal Classification for class 20 from the 18th edition (1971) to the 22nd edition (2003). are two interconnected disciplines that deal with information management. This includes organization, access, collection, and regulation of information, both in physical and digital forms.Coleman, A. (2002)Interdisciplinarity: The Road Ahead for Education in Digital Libraries D-Lib Magazine, 8:8/9 (July/August). Library science and information science are two original disciplines; however, they are within the same field of study. Library science is applied information science. Library science is both an application and a subfield of information science. Due to the strong connection, sometimes the two terms are used synonymously. Definition Library science (previously termed library studies and library economy) is an interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary field that applies the practices, p ...

Lis (linear Algebra Library)
Lis (Library of Iterative Solvers for linear systems; pronounced ''lis'']) is a scalability, scalable parallel software library to solve discretized linear equations and eigenvalue problems that mainly arise from the numerical solution of partial differential equations using iterative methods. Although it is designed for parallel computers, the library can be used without being conscious of parallel processing. Features Lis provides facilities for: * Automatic program configuration * NUMA aware hybrid implementation with MPI and OpenMP * Exchangeable dense and sparse matrix storage formats * Basic linear algebra operations for dense and sparse matrices * Parallel iterative methods for linear equations and eigenvalue problems * Parallel preconditioners for iterative methods * Quadruple precision floating point operations * Performance analysis * Command-line interface to solvers and benchmarks Example A C program to solve the linear equation Ax=b is written as foll ...

London Interdisciplinary School
The London Interdisciplinary School (LIS) is a private university in Whitechapel, London. LIS was founded in 2017 and was the first new institution in the United Kingdom since the 1960s to hold degree-awarding powers from its opening. The school offers undergraduate and postgraduate taught degrees, as well as professional courses. LIS admitted its first cohort of undergraduate students in 2021, and accepted its first cohort of master's students in 2022. History LIS was co-founded by a handful of educationalists and entrepreneurs in 2017. These included CEO Ed Fidoe, previously a manager at McKinsey & Company until leaving to co-found School 21 (a London-based primary and secondary school that focuses on disadvantaged students and emphasises multi-disciplinary education and communication skills) in 2012; company chair Christopher Persson, an entrepreneur who co-founded the online restaurant reservation service Bookatable; and academic lead Carl Gombrich, previously a profe ...

Italian Sign Language
Italian Sign Language (, LIS) is the visual language used by deaf people in Italy. Deep analysis of it began in the 1980s, along the lines of William Stokoe's research on American Sign Language in the 1960s. Until the beginning of the 21st century, most studies of Italian Sign Language dealt with its vocabulary. According to the European Union for the Deaf, the majority of the 60,000–90,000 Deaf people in Italy use LIS. Language structure and language family Like many sign languages, LIS is in some ways different from its "spoken neighbor"; thus, it has little in common with spoken Italian, but shares some features with non-Indo-European oral languages (e.g. it is verb final, like the Basque language; it has inclusive and exclusive pronominal forms like oceanic languages; interrogative particles are verb final (''You go where?''). A sign variety of spoken Italian also exists, the so-called Signed Italian which combines LIS lexicon with the grammar of spoken Italian: this ...

Isotope Separation
Isotope separation is the process of concentrating specific isotopes of a chemical element by removing other isotopes. The use of the nuclides produced is varied. The largest variety is used in research (e.g. in chemistry where atoms of "marker" nuclide are used to figure out reaction mechanisms). By tonnage, separating natural uranium into enriched uranium and depleted uranium is the largest application. In the following text, mainly uranium enrichment is considered. This process is crucial in the manufacture of uranium fuel for nuclear power plants and is also required for the creation of uranium-based nuclear weapons (unless uranium-233 is used). Plutonium-based weapons use plutonium produced in a nuclear reactor, which must be operated in such a way as to produce plutonium already of suitable isotopic mix or ''grade''. While chemical elements can be purified through chemical processes, isotopes of the same element have nearly identical chemical properties which makes this type ...

Lis Coat Of Arms
Lis (Polish language, Polish for "Fox") is a Polish heraldry, Polish coat of arms. It was used by many szlachta, noble families of Clan Lis. The legend of the coat of arms In 1058 Duke Casimir I the Restorer while chasing the pagan Old Prussians, Lithuanians and Yotvingians who devastated Polish lands, came to Sochaczew. He sent a knight of the Lis Clan (''Fox Clan'') to scout the region for enemies. When the knight came across a river he met a strong enemy unit. Unable to attack them alone, he decided immediately to shoot a lighted arrow into the air to call for reinforcements. Help arrived soon and defeated the enemies. A grateful Casimir granted the brave knight a new coat of arms with an arrow in the escutcheon (heraldry), escutcheon and his former sign - the fox - was placed in the crest (heraldry), crest.

Locked-in Syndrome
Locked-in syndrome (LIS), also known as pseudocoma, is a condition in which a patient is aware but cannot move or communicate verbally due to complete paralysis of nearly all voluntary muscles in their body except for vertical eye movements and blinking. This is due to quadriplegia and bulbar palsy. The individual is conscious and sufficiently intact cognitively to be able to communicate with eye movements. Electroencephalography results are normal in locked-in syndrome as these individuals have retained brain activity such as sleep-wake cycles and attention that is detectable. Fred Plum and Jerome B. Posner coined the term for this disorder in 1966. Locked-in syndrome can be separated into different subcategories based on symptom severity. This consists of classic locked-in syndrome, characterized by the inability to move distal limbs and facial muscles, but retained ability to blink and move eyes vertically, with preserved cognition and consciousness. Incomplete locked-in s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
