 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Main loop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
In computing, the main loop (sometimes called the event loop or main event loop) is a common design approach, typically used by applications featuring an event driven graphical user interface.
It consists of a loop which continuously executes, polling for user events and handling each one.
Most modern applications feature a main loop, though in contrast to earlier designs, the use of preemptive multitasking means that the loop is often stopped, and is only restarted when there is actually something ready for it to process.

 Loop (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Loop is the third in the series of Ring Novels by Koji Suzuki.
He wonders if Loop has the ability to predict the future of Earth, or if it was just a coincidence that there was a devastating new cancer virus in the real world.
The computer simulation of the Loop has been compared to one from the 1999 film The Matrix and has even been wrongly accused of being a rip-off of such, yet it was in fact published in 1998, more than a year before the release of The Matrix.

 Santa Monica Mirror: BOOKS in the mirror: McMurtry Does It Again…Beautifully
Most of Loop Group involves the preparations for and the events of a classic road trip as she and Connie drive out to Texas to stay with Maggie's Aunt Cooney, a tough old bird who's pushing 90 and runs a large-scale chicken ranch with barns labeled "Chicken Gulag 1," "Chicken Gulag 12," etc.
Loop Group sets the bar lower than a novel like The Desert Rose -- the main characters are true, but a lot of the peripheral people are awfully broad, closer to musical comedy than drama.
The novel is actually a loose, feminist version of McMurtry's Duane's Depressed, a sequel to The Last Picture Show and Texasville that nobody liked but me. As with the earlier book, Loop Group is essentially about how its central character gets her groove back.

One way to do this was to imagine carrying a particle such as an electron around a loop, and computing the amplitude for its direction of spin being the same at the end of the journey as when it first set out.
Loop quantum gravity has a much easier time with the former than the latter, basically because it's a form of "canonical quantization" - more jargon, which means that at the very start of the day one chops spacetime into space and time.
In loop quantum gravity the analogue of a Feynman diagram is called a "spin foam", because it looks a bit like a foam of soap bubbles.

 McClelland and Stewart Ltd: Books
These forms invariably loop back on themselves, as is the case with the corona of sonnets, in which the first line of the first sonnet becomes the last line of the last sonnet.
But it is more than that for me: it’s also a case of looping around, or circling around, an idea in order to examine it more fully, so it’s a bit like turning a stone around in the hand.
There are a number of poems in Loop that are deeply attentive to the natural world, and others that take a more political stance, but my concerns come together in that it seems necessary – indeed, more necessary of late – to witness the world in all its myriad possibilities.

 The Loop, by Nicholas Evans. Review by Ralph Maughan
The novel begins with an ambiguous scene where one of the new wolves attacks and kills a faithful dog, right on the porch of Calder's daughter and a few yards from his baby grandson in his carriage.
After the beginning scene, I thought the novel might be peddled by the Farm Bureau, but the story's course flows in the opposite direction.
The novel gives the impression that those who favor the wolf (government biologists aside) engage mostly in ineffectual protesting.

 Sanchez: A Novel Closed Loop Technology...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The ALSSG is continuously seeking to replace these open-loop technologies with novel technologies which allow for the removal and subsequent on-demand regeneration of CO2 by closed-loop physiochemical technologies, as well as for the conversion of solid wastes from non-edible parts of plants, utensils, and products which arise from human digestion of foods.
Realization of a novel physiochemical technology which would achieve both of the aforementioned goals would be a tremendous step forward in the further refinement of the approach being used by the NASA/JSC initiative with regard to generating an RLSS system which has an integrated biological and extremely efficient closed-loop physiochemical component to it.
The research projects currently being conducted by the PI have as their main objective the development of novel technologies for the removal, regeneration, and reutilization of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides in a closed-loop fashion which should greatly impact the physiochemical efforts at the NASA/JSC ALSSG.

 McMurtry cuts loose with lighthearted 'Loop Group'
Loop Group returns McMurtry to the world of Terms of Endearment, The Desert Rose and Evening Star, novels about women.
Before the novel opens, Maggie has a hysterectomy; that's why she has been dragging around without her customary brio.
Loop Group sets the bar lower than such a novel as The Desert Rose; the main characters are true, but a lot of the peripheral people are awfully broad, closer to musical comedy than drama.

 Time [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
These causal loops or closed curves in spacetime allow you to go forward continuously in time until you arrive back into your past.
If so, we should revise our definition of "person." The logic of the term "time" that is embedded in our time talk does not rule out a nonlinear structure for time, but there is no reason to believe (physical) time is actually like this or that anything has gone back in time.
These features don't require time to be linear, however, because a segment of a circle is also a linear continuum, but there is no evidence for circular time, that is, for causal loops or worldlines that are closed curves in spacetime.

 Swearing in a YA novel? - Absolute Write Water Cooler
It's not because I'm a prude or a goody-two-shoes, but because the kids in it are kids who just don't happen to swear (although one of them refers to things as being "craptastic" on occasion).
In my YA novel, there is a moderate amount of swearing.
My suspicion is that most YA novels are acually read by the 9-11 year old crowd.

Overall, I found "The Loop" (named after a trap for catching wolves) to be very well-paced (no slow chapters) and captivating.
The Loop--- an excellent read of the 'can't-put-it-down-variety; Major characters are well defined, and the minor ones look like stories waiting to happen.

Mixing raw, makeup water with water returning from the loop which is of much higher quality than raw water results in quality enhancement of the output water.
Furthermore, due to elimination of the conventional storage-tank-based recirculation loop, the water produced by BLUE SPRING SYSTEM WP-R is also consistently non-pyrogenic, which is a requirement for re-processing the dialysers.
The system also features our time-proven, batch-re-circulation type disinfection system which is very easy to use and which allows in situ disinfection of the external loop and the user equipment attached to it.

 A Novel Type of Calmodulin Interaction in the Inhibition of Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors
The basic sequence within the bHLH domain is the primary target for calmodulin binding, and sequences modulating the calmodulin interaction reside directly N-terminal to the basic sequence.
Here we show that the interaction of calmodulin with bHLH proteins is of a novel type, displaying characteristics very different from those of previously characterized calmodulin-target complexes.
We propose a model for the calmodulin-bHLH complex where two calmodulin molecules interact with one bHLH dimer, with one domain of calmodulin preferentially binding to the basic sequence of bHLH proteins and the other domain interacting with the modulatory sequence.
