  2. Bootstrapping (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(linguistics)

    In literal terms, a bootstrap is the small strap on a boot that is used to help pull on the entire boot. Similarly in computer science, booting refers to the startup of an operation system by means of first initiating a smaller program. Therefore, bootstrapping refers to the leveraging of a small action into a more powerful and significant ...

  3. Greater-than sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater-than_sign

    The greater-than sign is a mathematical symbol that denotes an inequality between two values. The widely adopted form of two equal-length strokes connecting in an acute angle at the right, >, has been found in documents dated as far back as 1631. [1]

  4. Bootstrapping (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(electronics)

    Bootstrap capacitors C1 and C2 in a BJT emitter follower circuit. In analog circuit designs, a bootstrap circuit is an arrangement of components deliberately intended to alter the input impedance of a circuit. Usually it is intended to increase the impedance, by using a small amount of positive feedback, usually over two stages.

  5. List of Pirates of the Caribbean characters - Wikipedia

    Captain Hector Barbossa, portrayed by Geoffrey Rush, appears in all of the films of the franchise. [10] With the character originally written by screenwriters Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio, Stuart Beattie, and Jay Wolpert, he was originally Captain Jack Sparrow's first mate turned archenemy, a pirate captain later revealed to be one of the nine Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court.

  6. Conformal bootstrap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_bootstrap

    In higher dimensions, the conformal bootstrap started to develop following the 2008 paper by Riccardo Rattazzi, Slava Rychkov, Erik Tonni and Alessandro Vichi. [5] The method was since used to obtain many general results about conformal and superconformal field theories in three, four, five and six dimensions.

  7. Bootstrapping (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(disambiguation)

    Bootstrapping, bootstrap, or bootstraps may also refer to: Bootstrap (front-end framework), a free collection of tools for creating websites and web applications; Bootstrap curriculum, a curriculum which uses computer programming to teach algebra to students age 12–16; Bootstrap funding in entrepreneurship and startups

  8. S-matrix theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-matrix_theory

    The principle behind the Regge theory hypothesis (also called analyticity of the second kind or the bootstrap principle) is that all strongly interacting particles lie on Regge trajectories. This was considered the definitive sign that all the hadrons are composite particles, but within S -matrix theory, they are not thought of as being made up ...

  9. Electrical impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance

    In electrical engineering, impedance is the opposition to alternating current presented by the combined effect of resistance and reactance in a circuit. [1]Quantitatively, the impedance of a two-terminal circuit element is the ratio of the complex representation of the sinusoidal voltage between its terminals, to the complex representation of the current flowing through it.
