  Associative array - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A database is a sort of generalized associative array.
For this reason, implementations are usually designed to allow speedy lookup, at the expense of slower insertion and a larger storage footprint than other data structures (such as association lists).
Insertions are done in constant time by consing the new association to the head of the list.

Selection devices of this sort will soon be speeded up from their present rate of reviewing data at a few hundred a minute.
When data of any sort are placed in storage, they are filed alphabetically or numerically, and information is found (when it is) by tracing it down from subclass to subclass.
Technical difficulties of all sorts have been ignored, certainly, but also ignored are means as yet unknown which may come any day to accelerate technical progress as violently as did the advent of the thermionic tube.

 Sorting Algorithms
Among simple sorting algorithms, the insertion sort seems to be better for small sets, selection sort is not bad as well, but it does not takes advantage of the preexisting sorting order.
Sort algorithms which only use an abstract key comparison operation always need at least O(n log n) comparisons on average; while sort algorithms which exploit the structure of the key space cannot sort faster than O(n log k) where k is the size of the keyspace.
Insertion sort and selection sort are seen to be instances of merge sort and quicksort, respectively, and sinking sort and bubble sort are in-place versions of insertion sort and selection sort.

The most common procedure is a myringotomy, a small incision in the tympanic membrane (eardrum), or the insertion of a tympanostomy tube into the eardrum.
These are called the otolithic organs and are responsible for detecting linear acceleration, or movement in a straight line Alternative Ear Infection Medicine Middle.
Illustration of the flow of fluid in the ear, which in turn causes displacement of the top portion of the hair cells that are embedded in the jelly-like cupula.

 The Impermanence Agent: Project and Context   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The idea of ambient interactivity is simple: the work functions and is aesthetically pleasing on its own without the need for any direct interaction, however the User is rewarded with an experience which becomes richer in direct relation to their level of interaction with the work.
The first time it is told it is likely to be in a linear sequence, but over time there is an increasing probability that some circling back and looping will take place.
This is another departure from the technical field of story systems, which tend to operate with a conception of story as that delivered by the system, rather than of the system and its structure being story elements.

 Category Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
This category is not only important in mathematical practice, it is at the core of algebraic topology, but it is also a fundamental example of a category in which morphisms are not structure preserving functions.
In other words, UF(X) is the best possible solution to the problem of inserting elements of X into a group (what is called "insertion of generators" in the mathematical jargon).
Categorical models of linear logic, modal logic, fuzzy sets, and general higher-order type theories (Reyes 1991, Reyes and Zawadoski 1993, Reyes and Zolfaghari 1991, 1996, Makkai and Reyes 1995, Ghilardi and Zawadowski 2002, Rodabaugh and Klement 2003, Jacobs 1999, Taylor 1999, Johnstone 2002, Blute and Scott 2004);

Also at avalon.chinalake.navy.mil, in the pub/misc directory, are all sorts of interesting PC software, including the fabled TrueSpace Caligari demo version (doesn't save/restore; ts_demo.zip), a Real3D demo (which is supposed to be tough to use without the documentation), and other interesting things.
In order to get a view of 180 degrees or greater, it is necessary to adopt some sort of perspective distortion.
Most commercial fisheye lenses use a distortion that causes distances from the center of the image to be proportional to the geometric angle from the central line of sight.
