High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow is the sixth installment in the King's Quest series of adventure games produced by Sierra Entertainment. Written by Roberta Williams and Jane Jensen, KQVI is widely recognized as the high point in the series for its in-depth plot, landmark 3D graphic introduction movie (created by Kronos Digital Entertainment), and professional voice acting (Hollywood actor Robby Benson provided the voice for Prince Alexander, the game's protagonist). KQVI was programmed in Sierra's Creative Interpreter and was the last King's Quest game to be released on floppy disk. A CD-ROM version of the game was released in 1993, including more character voices, a slightly...

Recently some solids were classified as kinking nonlinear elastic (KNE) solids because of plastic anisotropy. The KNE solids exhibit large mechanical hysteresis due to the reproducible growth and shrinkage of incipient kink bands (IKBs). IKBs are the precursor of regular kink bands. The stress-strain curves of KNE solids can be described by 4 parameters. In this book a microscale model based on fully reversible dislocation motion is proposed to relate the four parameters. A mathematical method based on Preisach-Mayergoyz model (P-M model) was also developed to calculate the strain of KNE solids from their stress history. Select MAX phases (Ti3SiC2, Ti2AlC and some of their solids solutions) and the hexagonal metals (Ti, Mg, Co) were...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Kinky boots are boots with extreme characteristics which are intended to present a dramatic sexy appearance, such as by a prostitute or dominatrix. Extreme characteristics might include very high heels, thigh- or crotch-high length, or unusual colors or materials. They can be related to boot fetishism, a kind of shoe fetishism which thus make them a form of fetish clothing. The term is ambiguous, since what can be considered kinky by some can be seen as elegant fashion by others. Boots of this type, and specifically the thigh-high leather boots worn by Honor Blackman in her role as Cathy Gale in The Avengers, are referred to in the 1964 song "Kinky Boots" by Blackman and her Avengers co-star...

The Kinzua Bridge or the Kinzua Viaduct was a railroad trestle that had spanned Kinzua Creek in McKean County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The bridge was 301 feet (92 m) tall and 2,052 feet (625 m) long prior to its collapse. The bridge was originally built from iron in 1882 and was billed as the "Eighth Wonder of the World", holding the record as the tallest railroad bridge in the world for two years. In 1900 the bridge was dismantled and simultaneously rebuilt out of steel to allow it to accommodate heavier trains. It stayed in commercial service until 1959 and was sold to the state government of Pennsylvania in 1963, becoming the centerpiece of a state park. Restoration of the bridge began in 2002, but before it was finished, a...

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Kirlian photography refers to a form of photogram made with a high voltage. It is named after Semyon Kirlian, who in 1939 accidentally discovered that if an object on a photographic plate is connected to a source of high voltage, small corona discharges create an image on the photographic plate. Kirlian's work, from 1939 onward, involved an independent rediscovery of a phenomenon and technique variously called "electrography", "electrophotography", and "corona discharge photography". The Kirlian technique is contact photography, in which the subject is in direct contact with a film placed upon a metal plate...

Die Erkennung von fehlenden und falsch terminierten Verbrennungen gewinnt im Rennsport zunehmend an Bedeutung. Trends wie die zunehmende Vielfalt an Kraftstoffen und der langfristige Einsatz von Rennmotoren begunstigen Fehler dieser Art, die sich Aufgrund der Abweichung zwischen Applikationsdaten und tatsachlich verwendetem Kraftstoff und dem Verschleiss der Motorkomponenten ergeben. Zur Fehlerlokalisierung bzw. um Laufzeitgrenzen zu ermitteln, ist es notwendig, die Ursachen des Fehlverhaltens des Motors zuverlassig zu diagnostizieren. In diesem Buch bewertet der Autor Matthias Ostendarp verschiedene Messverfahren theoretisch und auch im realen Motorbetrieb. Das Ergebnis stellt ein im Rennsport geeignetes Messverfahren dar, mit dem sich...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Knives are sharpened by grinding against a hard rough surface, typically stone, or a soft surface with hard particles, such as sandpaper. For finer sharpening, a leather razor strop, or strop, is often used. The smaller the angle between the blade and stone, the sharper the knife will be, but the less side force is needed to bend the edge over or chip it off. The angle between the blade and the stone is the edge angle – the angle from the vertical to one of the knife edges, and equals the angle at which the blade is held. The total angle from one side to the other is called the included angle; – on a symmetric double-ground edge (a wedge shape), the angle from one edge to the other is thus...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A knitting machine is a device used to create knitted fabrics in a semi- or fully automated fashion. There are numerous types of knitting machines, ranging from the simple, non-mechanical, to the highly complex and electronic. All, however, produce various types of knitted fabrics, usually either flat or tubular, and of varying degrees of complexity. Pattern stitches can be selected by hand manipulation of the needles, or with push-buttons and dials, mechanical punch cards, or electronic pattern reading devices and computers. The fabric produced using a knitting machine is of a more even texture than hand-knitted fabric, which is particularly noticeable on large areas of plain stockinette...

Knowledge representation and reasoning is an area in artificial intelligence that is concerned with how to formally "think", that is, how to use a symbol system to represent "a domain of discourse" - that which can be talked about, along with functions that may or may not be within the domain of discourse that allow inference about the objects within the domain of discourse to occur. Generally speaking, some kind of logic is used both to supply a formal semantics of how reasoning functions apply to symbols in the domain of discourse, as well as to supply, operators such as quantifiers, modal operators, etc. that, along with an interpretation theory, give meaning to the sentences in the logic. When we design a knowledge representation we...

Knowledge sharing and coordination is a critical part of “knowledge work”, the broad class of newly dominant professions that hinge upon the successful manipulation and recombination of knowledge and information, rather than physical objects. Research to date has looked at knowledge sharing in the workplace as occurring primarily through intentional acts – something shared through explicit communication or codified for later use in knowledge repositories such as databases or wikis. This focus on the intentional omits consideration of how knowledge may be shared through acts not explicitly intended to be communicative. In this book, I examine how knowledge sharing on small teams occurs through work practice. Using ethnographic...
