Visitors exchange their shoes for white footsies and wear electrode receptors plugged into a central computer programmed to translate brain waves into dancing images.
And though the central McGuffin (an ominous computer program called "the Wormhole") feels like a lot of nonsense, it does give the third act some necessary propulsion.
The bias lurking behind every large-scale smart city is a belief that bottom-up complexity can be bottled and put to use for top-down ends — that a central agency, with the right computer program, could one day manage and even dictate the complex needs of an actual city.
After an eligibility check, the patients will be randomly assigned to receive EPA or placebo at the central registration center by a computer program using a minimization method, with stratification by age, gender, BMI, and institution.
After an eligibility check, the patients will be randomly assigned to receive metformin or placebo at the central registration centre by a computer program, using a minimization method, with stratification by institute, age, gender and BMI.
Central to the plot is a computer program that randomizes text fed into it, creating improbable storylines: They try passages from the Kabbalah and an automobile manual, the result being that a car's powertrain is a modern-day Tree of Life (a drawing of which appears in the front matter of the book).
Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin is not backed by a central government, but instead created by a computer program.
The computer program required for computing essential and non-essential reactions is available in Additional file 9. To identify all viable metabolisms by exhaustive enumeration of viability for all 2 (10) possible metabolisms in central carbon metabolism would be infeasible.
Invented in 2009, its supply supposedly is controlled by a rigid computer program, making it, like gold, not subject to central bank manipulation.
This paper presents a new Fortran computer program, CRS4-2 (acronymnym for Crs4 Research Software for Central Receiver Solar System SimulationS), for the simulation of the optical performance of a central receiver solar plant.
