Practical reasonIn philosophy, practical reason is the use of reason to decide how to act. It contrasts with theoretical reason, often called speculative reason, the use of reason to decide what to follow. For example, agents use practical reason to decide whether to build a telescope, but theoretical reason to decide which of two theories of light and optics is the best. Practical reason is understood by most philosophers as determining a plan of action. Thomistic ethics defines the first principle of practical reason as "good is to be done and pursued, and evil is to be avoided.
Machine à coudreUne machine à coudre est un outil permettant de réaliser un tissage linéaire prenant appui sur une pile de tissus, de cuir ou de tout autre matériaux plan et souple. Les machines à coudre sont utilisées pour assembler des tissus, empêcher qu'un tissu ne s'effiloche (surfiler), assembler et empêcher que plusieurs tissus ne s'effilochent (surjeter), assembler une pile de tissus à plat (recouvrir), combiner des points selon un motif donné (broder).
Application virtualizationApplication virtualization is a software technology that encapsulates computer programs from the underlying operating system on which they are executed. A fully virtualized application is not installed in the traditional sense, although it is still executed as if it were. The application behaves at runtime like it is directly interfacing with the original operating system and all the resources managed by it, but can be isolated or sandboxed to varying degrees.
ComputabilityComputability is the ability to solve a problem in an effective manner. It is a key topic of the field of computability theory within mathematical logic and the theory of computation within computer science. The computability of a problem is closely linked to the existence of an algorithm to solve the problem. The most widely studied models of computability are the Turing-computable and μ-recursive functions, and the lambda calculus, all of which have computationally equivalent power.
Premiers AnalytiquesLes Premiers Analytiques sont un ouvrage d'Aristote et constituent le troisième livre de l’Organon et la première partie des Analytiques. Aristote y développe l'essentiel de sa logique et de la syllogistique qui constitue la naissance de la logique comme discipline formelle. Premiers analytiques, trad. Jules Barthélemy-Saint-Hilaire Premiers analytiques, trad. Jules Tricot, Vrin. Günther Patzig, Die aristotelische Syllogistik.

Table de KarnaughUne table de Karnaugh (prononcé ) est une méthode graphique et simple pour trouver ou simplifier une fonction logique à partir de sa table de vérité. Elle utilise le code de Gray (aussi appelé binaire réfléchi), qui a comme propriété principale de ne faire varier qu'un seul bit entre deux mots successifs (la distance de Hamming de deux mots successifs du code de Gray est égale à 1). Cette méthode a été développée par Maurice Karnaugh en 1953, en perfectionnant un diagramme similaire introduit en 1952 par .
Thread (yarn)A thread is a long strand of material, often composed of several filaments or fibres, used for joining, creating or decorating textiles. In early humanity Egyptians were known for creating thread using plant fibers, wool and hair. Today, thread can also be made of many different materials including but not limited to cotton, wool, linen, nylon, silk, polyester etc. Their are also Metal threads, sometimes used in decorative textiles, can be made of fine wire.
