 Problem A: Fire Station   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
You are to choose the location of the fire station so as to reduce the distance to the nearest station from the houses of the disgruntled residents.
A number of lines follow, each containing three positive integers: the number of an intersection, the number of a different intersection, and the length of the road segment connecting the intersections.
You are to output a single integer: the lowest intersection number at which a new fire station should be built so as to minimize the maximum distance from any intersection to the nearest fire station.

 Finite intersection property   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In topology, the finite intersection property is a property ofa collection of subsets of a set
This is trivially satisfied if the intersection over the entire collection is nonempty (in particular, if the collectionitself is empty), and it is also trivially satisfied if the collection is nested, meaning that for any finite subcollection, aparticular element of the subcollection is contained in all the other elements of the subcollection, e.g.
The finite intersection property is useful in formulating an alternative definition of compactness.

 Journey through Intersection Graph County   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Although a large amount of work has been done for several intersection graph models, there are still only very few basic concepts and ideas which work for general intersection graphs, and even these ideas are not as widely known as they maybe should.
In application it is often important to find certain large substructures in the intersection graphs occuring, see this or this or this example.
By duality, intersection graphs should be viewed as the union of certain complete subgraphs---if we have the Helly-property, these complete subgraphs are really (maximal) cliques.

 3D Object Intersection
Intersections in which the objects are moving relative to one another.
Perform slab/line segment intersection, i.e., ray/plane intersection for the two sides of the slab.
The general principal of intersecting a moving sphere against an object is to simplify thinking about the problem by making the sphere into a line segment between its center's start and end locations, while "adding" this sphere to the other object.

When the intersection of the sorted sets is empty, then so is the answer of the search engine.
Consider the element version of the intersection problem: for a given element x, decide wether it belongs to the intersection of k sorted arrays.
Instead of finding the intersection of all the sets, one is then faced with a new problem, finding the intersection of unions of sets: Given a set of k families of ordered sets compute the intersection of the unions of the elements in the families.

Given a set s, and a family of nonempty subsets of s, the corresponding intersection graph has a vertex for each subset, and a connecting edge whenever two subsets intersect.
Since every graph is an intersection graph, the intersection number of a graph g is the size of the smallest set s, such that g is the intersection graph of s.

 Workshop on Intersection Types and Related Systems (ITRS '00)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Intersection types were introduced roughly twenty years ago to provide type polymorphism by listing type instances.
Although intersection types were initially intended for use in analyzing and/or synthesizing lambda models as well as in analyzing normalization properties, over the last twenty years the scope of theoretical research on intersection types has broadened.
The ITRS '00 workshop was held to bring together researchers working on both the theory and practice of systems with intersection types and related systems (e.g., union types, refinement types, etc.).

So the intersection of a set of slabs defines a bounding volume or a box.
intersection with the near slab, is greater than the smallest tfar value (intersection with far slab) then the ray misses the box, else it hits the box.
We can use as the simplest bounding volume the intersection of the sets of two parallel planes where each set has normals along the X, Y, or Z axes.

 Finite intersection property   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In topology, the finite intersection property is a property of a collection of subsets of a set
This is trivially satisfied if the intersection over the entire collection is nonempty, and is also trivially satisfied if the collection is nested, meaning a single element of any finite subcollection contains all the remaining ones, as in the sequence (0,1/n).
The finite intersection property is useful in formulating an alternative definition of compactness, which in turn is used in some proofs of Tychonoff's theorem and the uncountability of the real numbers.

 Bakhtin Circle [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
The novelist does not, as is the case with Tolstoi, submerge all positions beneath a single authoritative perspective, but allows the voice of the narrator to reside beside the voices of the characters, bestowing no greater authority on that voice than on any of the others.
The novel should not be seen as a compensation for the restlessness of contemporary society, uncovering the assured road to progress, but the embodiment of the dynamic forces that could shape society in a popular-democratic fashion.
Dostoevskii thus intersected with the threshold poetics of carnival at a different stage in its development, he sought to present the voices of his era in a 'pure simultaneity' unrivalled since Dante.

Whether it's your car crossing the finish line at 180 miles per hour, or a bullet tearing through the chest of your best friend, all games make use of collision detection for object interaction.
This article describes some simple intersection tests for the most useful shapes: spheres and boxes.
A common approach to collision detection is to simply test for whether two objects are overlapping at the end of each frame.

 Practical Analysis of Optimized Ray-Triangle Intersection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
First of all, I thought that it would be interesting to see what happens with the intersection time as the number of hits increases from 0% to 100%.
Second, as we said in our JGT article, the division (after all, the division is pretty expensive, which is why we care about it) might be pushed away later in the code, by doing different tests depending on the sign of the determinant.
Optimization 2 is about 12-23% faster for this test (and it's faster the fewer intersections as one can expect) than the original jgt code.

This statute states that "the driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left within an intersection.
The statute is violated if the driver fails to yield the right of way to a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction and the approaching vehicle is either: (1) within the intersection or (2) is so close to the intersection to constitute an immediate hazard.
Therefore, if the plaintiff proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant failed to yield the right of way when the plaintiff's vehicle was either: (1) within the intersection or (2) so close to the intersection to constitute an immediate hazard, then you shall find that the defendant violated General Statutes ยง 14-242(e).
