Picard Horn
A Picard horn, also called the Picard topology or Picard model, is one of the oldest known hyperbolic 3-manifolds, first described by Émile Picard in 1884. The manifold is the quotient of the upper half-plane model of hyperbolic 3-space by the projective special linear group, \operatorname_2(\mathbf . It was proposed as a model for the shape of the universe in 2004. The term "horn" is due to pseudosphere models of hyperbolic space. Geometry and topology A modern description, in terms of fundamental domain and identifications, can be found in section 3.2, page 63 of Grunewald and Huntebrinker, along with the first 80 eigenvalues of the Laplacian, tabulated on page 72, where \Upsilon_1 is a fundamental domain of the Picard space.Fritz Grunewald and Wolfgang Huntebrinker, A numerical study of eigenvalues of the hyperbolic Laplacian for polyhedra with one cusp', Experiment.

Picard Group
In mathematics, the Picard group of a ringed space ''X'', denoted by Pic(''X''), is the group of isomorphism classes of invertible sheaves (or line bundles) on ''X'', with the group operation being tensor product. This construction is a global version of the construction of the divisor class group, or ideal class group, and is much used in algebraic geometry and the theory of complex manifolds. Alternatively, the Picard group can be defined as the sheaf cohomology group :H^1 (X, \mathcal_X^).\, For integral Scheme (mathematics), schemes the Picard group is isomorphic to the class group of Cartier divisors. For complex manifolds the exponential sheaf sequence gives basic information on the Picard group. The name is in honour of Émile Picard's theories, in particular of divisors on algebraic surfaces. Examples * The Picard group of the Spectrum of a ring, spectrum of a Dedekind domain is its ''ideal class group''. * The invertible sheaves on projective space P''n''(''k'') for '' ...

MusicBrainz Picard
MusicBrainz is a MetaBrainz project that aims to create a collaborative music database that is similar to the freedb project. MusicBrainz was founded in response to the restrictions placed on the Compact Disc Database (CDDB), a database for software applications to look up audio CD information on the Internet. MusicBrainz has expanded its goals to reach beyond a CD metadata (information about the performers, artists, songwriters, etc.) storehouse to become a structured online database for music. MusicBrainz captures information about artists, their recorded works, and the relationships between them. Recorded works entries capture the album title, track titles, and the length of each track at a minimum. These entries are maintained by volunteer editors who follow community written style guidelines. Recorded works can also store information about release date and country, the CD ID, cover art, acoustic fingerprint, free-form annotation text and other metadata. , MusicBrainz conta ...

Les Fatals Picards
Les Fatals Picards is a French rock/punk band, founded in 1996. The Fatals Picards (meaning "the fatal enfrom Picardy") are best known to general audiences because they represented France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "L'Amour à la française" (Eng: "Love, French Style"), after winning the national selection. Characteristics The lyrics of the Fatals Picards are often of a parodic or humoristic character, though some songs, more particularly in the recent years, are more of a militant |
Berger Picard
The Berger Picard ( , ) or Picardy Shepherd, is a French herding dog originating in Picardy. These dogs nearly became extinct after both World War I and World War II and remain a rare breed. Appearance The Berger Picard is a medium-sized, well-muscled dog, slightly longer than tall with a tousled yet elegant appearance. Their ears are naturally erect, high-set, and quite wide at the base. Their eyebrows are thick, but do not shield their dark frank eyes. They are known for their smile. Their natural tail normally reaches to the hock and is carried with a slight J-curve at the tip. Their weather-proof coat is harsh and crisp to the touch, not excessively long with a minimal undercoat. Coat colors fall into two colors, fawn and brindle, with a range of shade variations. Temperament The Berger Picard's attributes include a lively, intelligent personality and a sensitive and assertive disposition that responds quickly to obedience training. Picards are easygoing and mellow but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
TSS Duke Of Cumberland
''TSS Duke of Cumberland'' was a passenger vessel operated by the London and North Western Railway and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway from 1909 to 1923. and also as ''Picard'' by Angleterre-Lorraine-Alsace from 1927 to 1936. History She was built at William Denny and Brothers William Denny and Brothers Limited, often referred to simply as Denny, was a Scotland, Scottish shipbuilder, shipbuilding company.

Picard, California
Picard is a former settlement in Siskiyou County, California. It was at an elevation of 1300 m; all that remains is the cemetery. History Picard was settled in the early 1880s as the first town in the Butte valley when Frank Picard established the Pioneer saloon. Picard sold the saloon to Charles Silver in 1898. A post office opened in 1883, and the La Lake school opened in 1886 as Picard's first school. By 1903, Picard was a farming town and had a church, doctor's office, blacksmith, three general stores and two saloons and hotels. However, a new railway in 1908 bypassed Picard and the majority of businesses and residents moved to Dorris, leaving Picard abandoned. The school closed in 1912. In 1938, the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors formed the Picard cemetery district as a result of pressure from the Butte Valley American Legion. Prior to this, the cemetery had been cared by volunteers. Notable people * Frank C. High, American soldier, recipient of the Medal of Ho ...

Picard (grape)
Merlot ( ) is a dark-blue-colored wine grape variety that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines. The name ''Merlot'' is thought to be a diminutive of , the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the color of the grape. Its softness and "fleshiness", combined with its earlier ripening, make Merlot a popular grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which tends to be higher in tannin. Along with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, Merlot is one of the primary grapes used in Bordeaux wine, and it is the most widely planted grape in the Bordeaux wine regions. Merlot is also one of the most popular red wine varietals in many markets. This flexibility has helped to make it one of the world's most planted grape varieties. As of 2004, Merlot was estimated to be the third most grown variety at globally.J. Robinson (ed) ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'' Third Edition, Oxford University Press 2006 ...

Picard (satellite)
PICARD is a satellite dedicated to the simultaneous measurement of the absolute total and spectral solar irradiance, the diameter and solar shape, and to the Sun's interior probing by the helioseismology method. These measurements obtained throughout the mission allow study of their variations as a function of solar activity. It launched, along with the Prisma spacecraft, on 15 June 2010 on a Dnepr launcher from Dombarovskiy Cosmodrome, near Yasny, Russia. The mission, originally planned for two years, ended on 4 April 2014. Objectives The objectives of the PICARD mission are to improve our knowledge of: * the functioning of our star through new observations, * the influence of the solar activity on the climate of the Earth. History The PICARD mission was named after the French astronomer of the 17th century Jean Picard (1620–1682) who achieved the first accurate measurements of the solar diameter. These measurements are especially important as they were made during a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
