minimalism

Examples of minimalism in the following topics:

• Median and Mean

  • State whether it is the mean or median that minimizes the mean absolute
  • State whether it is the mean or median that minimizes the mean squared deviation
  • In the section "What is central tendency," we saw that the center of a distribution could be defined three ways: (1) the point on which a distribution would balance, (2) the value whose average absolute deviation from all the other values is minimized, and (3) the value whose squared difference from all the other values is minimized.
  • The mean is the point on which a distribution would balance, the median is the value that minimizes the sum of absolute deviations, and the mean is the value that minimizes the sum of the squared deviations.

• Financing Company Operations

  • Examples of bootstrapping include: Owner financing, sweat equity, minimization of the accounts receivable, joint utilization, delaying payment, minimizing inventory, subsidy finance, and personal debt.
  • Examples of Bootstrapping: Owner financing Sweat equity Minimization of the accounts receivable Joint utilization Delaying payment Minimizing inventory Subsidy finance Personal Debt

• Minimalism

  • The term minimalism can be used to describe a trend in design and architecture wherein the subject is reduced to its necessary elements.
  • The term minimalism can be used to describe a trend in design and architecture wherein the subject is reduced to only its necessary elements.
  • White elements, cold lighting, large open spaces with minimal objects and furniture and a simplified living space to reveal the essential quality of buildings and attitudes toward life were the characteristics of minimalist architecture and design.
  • While ornamentation is minimized, minimalist architecture an design do not completely do away with ornamentation, but instead aim to maintain the idea that all parts, details and joinery have been reduced to a stage where no one can remove anything further to improve the design.
  • Ryoan-Ji Temple is a Zen temple that exemplifies the minimalism and simplicity that is typical in Japanese design.

• Scheduling

  • The purpose of scheduling is to minimize production time and costs.
  • In order to reduce costs, an airline may want to minimize the number of airport gates required for its aircraft.
  • In manufacturing, the purpose of scheduling is to minimize production time and cost by telling a production facility when to make a product and with which staff and equipment.
  • For example, in order to reduce costs, an airline may want to minimize the number of airport gates required for its aircraft.

• Reducing Waste and Environmental Impacts

  • The application of waste minimization techniques has led to the development of innovative and commercially successful replacement products.
  • Waste minimization has proven benefits to industry and the wider environment.
  • Waste minimization often requires investment, which is, at least in theory, usually compensated by the savings.
  • There are government incentives for waste minimization, which focus on the environmental benefits of adopting waste minimization strategies.
  • By producing using materials that are recyclable, landfill waste can be minimized.

• An objective measure for finding the best line

  • Perhaps our criterion could minimize the sum of the residual magnitudes:
  • However, a more common practice is to choose the line that minimizes the sum of the squared residuals:
  • The line that minimizes this least squares criterion is represented as the solid line in Figure 7.12.

• The "Do Anything" Licenses

  • It is the simplest of several minimal licenses that do little more than assert nominal copyright (without actually restricting copying) and specify that the code comes with no warranty.

• Abstract Expressionist Sculpture

  • During the postwar period, many sculptors made work in the prevalent styles of the time: Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism and Pop Art.
  • Minimalism during the 1960s and 70s was a reaction against the painterly subjectivity of Abstract Expressionism dominant in the previous decades.
  • Donald Judd, who disavowed the term minimalism, and preferred to refer to his sculptures as "specific objects," used simple, repeated forms to explore space.

  • Evaluate how sculpture from 1945-1970 was influenced by abstract expressionism, minimalism, and pop art.

• Minimizing Private Sanctions

  • Thus government's function is not to eliminate private-involuntary associations but to minimize them.

• Torn Cartilage and Arthroscopy

  • Arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure used in treating damage to the interior of a joint using a small incision and scope.
  • Arthroscopy (also called arthroscopic surgery) is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure in which an examination, and sometimes treatment of damage to the interior of a joint, is performed using an arthroscope, a type of endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision.
