	KSAM FILE STRUCTURE
		When a key block is full and new keys are added, the root level block may need to be split, causing a new root block to be introduced and adding a new level to the tree.
		This process is illustrated in Figure B-2 “Split Causes New Level in Tree” where the addition of one new key to a partially filled block does not affect the tree structure, but the addition of a second key to the full block causes the block to split.
		However, the exact number of blocks and the size of each block is based on a variety of factors, such as the key size, the number of keys in the file, the number of key values for each key, the key blocking factor, and so forth.

	Method for managing access operation on nonvolatile memory and block structure thereof - Patent 7058784
		A block structure is defined in the controller having a data block for storing original data, a writing block for temporary data storage in the access operation, and a page cache block for storing the last one page data to be written.
		The block structure of claim 5, wherein the writing block is used for temporarily storing the data, requested by the host to write to the storage device.
		12 is a drawing, schematically illustrating the block structure and the mapping table in a flash memory with a type of large block, according to the preferred embodiment of the invention.

	Linux Block Device Architecture
		When a block has to be read from a device, the buffer_head structure (the represents the data in memory) allocates a bio structure, fills the structure and submits to the block layer.
		The bio structure is allocated using bio_alloc by passing the number of segments so that the bio_vec array is allocated for the requested segments.
		For example, if the block size is 1k and page size is 4k and the request is to read block number 11, the corresponding page is 3 (with 4 blocks per page, 11th block falls in the 3rd page).

	Block matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A block diagonal matrix is a block matrix which is a square matrix, and having main diagonal blocks square matrices, such that the off-diagonal blocks are zero matrices.
		A block tridiagonal matrix is a another special block matrix, which is just like the block diagonal matrix a square matrix, having square matrices (blocks) in the lower diagonal, main diagonal and upper diagonal, with all other blocks being zero matrices.
		For those we can assume an interpretation as an endomorphism of an n-dimensional space V; the block structure in which the bunching of rows and columns is the same is of importance because it corresponds to having a single direct sum decomposition on V (rather than two).

	Alignment Editing
		Note that because no gaps are allowed in an aligned block, there may be a limit on how big you can make a block, depending on how many unaligned residues are available in the adjacent unaligned area in each sequence in the alignment.
		In other words, if the multiple alignment has a block from residues 10-20 (with respect to the master sequence), then the pairwise alignment to be merged must also have a block that covers at least residues 10-20.
		In Cn3D's alignment model, the aligned blocks represent the "core" of an alignment (usually corresponding to the structural core of a protein), and Cn3D enforces this core model on all new sequence to be added to the multiple alignment.

	SENG 609.03 Object Theory: Review Paper
		Block Structure provides locality: describing an object by a local class or procedure, and the existence of instances of such local classes or procedures is meaningful only as part of its enclosure object.
		Block structure is useful in a conceptual and a technical viewpoint in object-oriented languages.
		Block structure is not a mechanism for "programming in the large", it need modularization to split the program into small parts.

	PCAP Next Generation Dump File Format (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Adding new block types or options would not necessarily require that either Major or Minor numbers be changed, as code that does not know about the block type or option could just skip it; only if skipping a block or option does not work should the minor version number be changed.
		The block type of the Section Header Block is the integer corresponding to the 4-char string "\r\n\n\r".
		Moreover, the Name Resolution Block avoids the need of issuing a lot of DNS requests every time the trace capture is opened, and allows to have name resolution also when reading the capture with a machine not connected to the network.

	Block structure (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A block is a construct that delimits the scope of any declarations that it may contain.
		This structure is typical of FORTRAN and C. In these languages, all subprograms (procedures and functions) are separate, and each acts as a block.
		This is typical of the block structure of the Algol-like languages.

	Adaptive Blocks: A High Performance Data Structure (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Using this block data structure to support adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), we were able to sustain 17 GFLOPS in ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the solar wind emanating from the base of the solar corona, using a 512 processor Cray T3D at NASA Goddard.
		Note that the adaptive blocks for a decomposition of a two-dimensional domain are similar to the leaves of a quadtree decomposition, and in general the adaptive block decomposition of a d-dimensional domain are similar to the leaves of a d-dimensional generalized tree.
		Adaptive blocks amortize the costs of neighbor pointers (both time and space) over entire arrays, and their ghost cell to computational cell ratio is far superior to other data structures.

	ECMWF
		The blocks are set up in such a way that the north and south boundaries are either land or open ocean, whereas the east and west boundaries are land, periodic (this occurs, for instance, in the southern ocean), or open ocean (for nesting).
		Although loading only one block at a time circumvents the problem of the limited memory, the drawback of this approach is that extensive input-output (IO) operations are needed.
		After performing the computations on block IG, the results have to be written to disc and the results of the previous time step of block IG + 1 have to be read before the computations on block IG + 1 may be started.

	Stacking and block structure for No Limits Coasters - ThrillNetwork Boards
		However having the first block from the end of station to the top of lift 1, the first block in No Limits would be the end of the station to halfway between the top of lift 1 to the first brake run.
		The end of the block is chosen in the middle of the top of lift one and the first brake run when any ride in real life would have the block end at the top of lift 1.
		Unfortunately, blocking is not correctly implemented in NoLimits, which I would suggest you contact them and complain on the implementation (the lift hill itself is usually considered a block, and I can't dispatch after that).

	A hierarchical, building-block-based computational scheme for protein structure prediction
		Hence, this implies that if we were to cut the building block from the protein chain and place it as a peptide in solution, the most highly populated conformation of this peptide would very likely be similar to that of the building block when it is in the native protein fold.
		Hence, the two most important points here are, first, that in the absence of such a critical building block to mediate the interactions of most of the other building blocks, the native conformations of these other building blocks are retained; and second, that what is altered here is their association [27].
		Three elements in the building block folding model are useful: First, we have a collection of building blocks, their sequences and their conformations, as observed in the native structure of the proteins from which they were derived.

	CS 434 Lecture Notes -- Block Structure and Symbol Table Organization
		A scope is a subsection of a program's text typically corresponding to a procedure/function/method/class or a block of statements.
		The organization of many compiler symbol tables is fairly complex as a result of the need to support the scope rules associated with block structure.
		The standard approach to explaining symbol table organization, however, adds additional complexity by failing to properly distinguish the role of the scanner in building the symbol table from that of the semantic analysis routines in completing it.

	Block-Structured Javascript
		Blocks have their own local variables and functions, and they also have first-class access to variables and functions defined around them.
		A block is an expression, while two statements (one to create a named function and one to call it) are not an expression.
		Block structure may seem unfamilar at first, but give blocks a try and see whether you start finding the code even easier to read and refactor with blocks.

	Oracle tuning: Blocksize and index tree structures
		There has been a great debate about the structures of Oracle index trees and whether they are important to Oracle tuning, and many articles have attempted to describe the inner working of these important Oracle performance facilitators.
		Each data block within the index serves as a "node" in the index tree, with the bottom nodes (leaf blocks), containing pairs of symbolic keys and ROWID values.
		In any case, there appears to be evidence that block size affects the tree structure, which supports the argument that data blocks affect the structure of the tree.

	Block Structured Programming Languages
		The length of the static chain is the nesting depth of the current block or routine.
		Note that Pascal avoids this problem by forcing labels to be declared at the head of a block separate from the defining instance of the label.
		This consists of the pointers that form a static chain removed from the activation records and placed together in a block, usually in a block of fast registers.
