and general confusion among the characters

Filed under: on wiki

Characteristic aspects of his books include the “breakdown in events”, an acceleration in plot development, typically about three quarters into the novel, accompanied by a marked increase in violence and general confusion among the characters (and often readers); and abrupt endings without strong conclusions or denouement, which sometimes leave the reader hanging. While many readers consider this an annoyance, there is a contingent that admires the author’s ability to tie up loose ends and transact a great deal of novelistic business within the space of 20 or 30 pages.

era esencialmente un minibus en sus tres versiones

Filed under: on wiki

Basándose en las ideas de las aeronaves existentes, se presentaron tres prototipos de automóviles muy diferentes de lo que había en el mercado. Tenían en común que sólo tenían tres ruedas, no cuatro (las dos ruedas de dirección delante y la rueda de tracción detrás) y que el motor estaba en la parte trasera. Tanto el chasis como la forma eran diseños originales en los tres prototipos. La aerodinámica era parecida a la de una gota de agua (uno de los prototipos tenía 5,48m de largo, con capacidad para once pasajeros). Era un diseño que se parecía a la de una aeronave ligera (sin las alas) y a una furgoneta Volkswagen de la década de los 50. Era esencialmente un minibus en sus tres versiones y su concepto fue bastante anterior al minibus diseñado por Ben Pon en 1947 para la Volkswagen Type 2.

al momento della creazione dell’opera

Filed under: on wiki

Il diritto nasce al momento della creazione dell’opera, che il nostro codice civile identifica, un po’ cripticamente, in una particolare espressione del lavoro intellettuale.

Contrariamente a quanto spesso argomentato, non sempre disinteressatamente, il diritto sussiste sin dalla creazione, e non vi è obbligo di deposito (ad esempio, presso la SIAE), di registrazione o di pubblicazione dell’opera (a differenza del brevetto industriale e sui modelli e disegni di utilità che vanno registrati con efficia costitutiva).

  • File size distribution of Internet traffic which uses the TCP protocol (many smaller files, few larger ones)
  • Clusters of Bose-Einstein condensate near absolute zero

  • The length distribution in jobs assigned supercomputers (a few large ones, many small ones)
  • The standardized price returns on individual stocks
  • Sizes of sand particles
  • Sizes of meteorites
  • Numbers of species per genus (There is subjectivity involved: The tendency to divide a genus into two or more increases with the number of species in it)
