BBC News director, James Harding, defended the corporation's coverage saying Mr Mandela was a man of "singular significance" and the "most significant statesman of the last 100 years".
It had been five days since they last played, and for this round, the Rockies made a singular if significant alteration.
I humbly believe that it is the singular and significant reason that prevented the participation of all churches at the recent Holy and Great Council.
The crystal lattice of SnO2 samples had shown no significant singular deformations.
That is, the dimension of the state equals the number of the significant singular values; here n = 2.
More crucially, conceiving of spatial thinking as a flexible framework with no singular application affords significant intellectual diversity: research questions can move away from framing learning in deficit, as in the case of training spatial ability.
Selecting the first few basis vectors corresponding to the most significant singular values, the 3-D CIT is formulated as a weighted least squares estimation problem of the basis coefficients.
Subsequently, model selection for a BTD- (L r,L r,1) type decomposition can be performed by clustering the rank-1 terms to form R rank- (L r,L r,1) terms, where R is estimated as the number of significant singular values of the rank-1 factor matrix, or based on the gap statistic [46].
In both cases, our key assumption is that given a full rank dictionary matrix D obtained through training data, the coefficient matrix L is approximately low rank, i.e., the number of significant singular vectors is much smaller than the ambient dimensions of the matrix.
While we would like to believe that fame, visibility and popularity are uniquely determined by performance, representing well-deserved recognition for some sustained or singular achievement, a significant body of media research indicates otherwise, suggesting that fame follows patterns on its own, divorced from talent or performance [8 22].
