L-systems are parallel grammars that provide a theoretical foundation for a class of programs used in the simulation of plant development and procedural image synthesis.
"[He] has helped to lay the mathematical foundation for a class of quantum error correction codes that will likely form the basis of future quantum information technology," says Jeremy Levy, associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Pittsburgh, and director of the Center for Oxide-Semiconductor Materials for Quantum Computation.
2 In addition, 1 has also emerged as the foundation of a privileged class of starting materials, being used to obtain systematically fine-tuned derivatives such as tetraaryl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4,5-dimethanols 2 (TADDOLs) and analogous compounds, which have found numerous and widespread applications as chiral ligands in asymmetric metal-catalysed transformations.
His Dream Foundation helped a class of Virgin Islanders attend college.
At the undergraduate level, colleges and universities have always relied upon first-time, first year students as the foundation of their freshman class.
Many have since left, disenchanted by persistent violence and corruption, leaving a void where an educated middle class was supposed to be the foundation of a new society.
Meat-processing jobs used to be a foundation of the middle-class in places like Marshalltown.
We're in the midst of a perfect storm: a Great Recession that has caused a sharp increase in unemployment and a Great Inflection — a merger of the information technology revolution and globalization that is simultaneously wiping out many decent-wage, middle-skilled jobs, which were the foundation of our middle class, and replacing them with decent-wage, high-skilled jobs.
In addition, unions have long been the foundation of our middle class and helped create the most competitive workforce in the world -- a workforce that made America the economic power it is today.
