生产调度问题Job-shop和Flow-shop问题的区别在哪? - 知乎 flow shop问题,n个工件在m台机器上加工,每个工件都要在m台机器上加工一次,并且每台机器上的工序,即加工顺序都是一样的。 如四个工件在第一台机器加工顺序为2134,那么在剩余m-1台机器上的工序必须严格保持2134的顺序。
App Store 为什么不叫 App Shop? - 知乎 有人说shop和store是英式和美式的区别,中学也是这么教的,实际上并不是那么回事。在美式英语里,shop是现做的,store是卖预制菜的地方。 我发现学英语真的是学着学着突然间顿悟,不用特别去研究就能不自觉悟出一些规律,能逻辑自洽地去解释一些以前无法理解的东西,当真去研究时,发现结论
coffee shop 与 café 有什么区别? - 知乎 Coffee shop 或 coffee house 在美国指贩卖以咖啡为主各类热饮的咖啡馆。 在欧陆国家这个词则并不常见,如果有,通常是兼卖咖啡豆 粉的精致咖啡专营店。 在荷兰,coffeeshop 专指有大麻贩卖的咖啡馆,普通咖啡馆则叫作 café。 第三个和咖啡相关的词是 cafeteria。
为什么有的人非就是不要store后缀,非要shop后缀的域名 . . . 首先, shop精干,好记,英语非母语国家的人也有大把人能认得出。 其次, shop背靠日本巨头GMO注册局。 当年GMO击败谷歌、亚马逊才拿到这个尾缀,金额达到创记录的4000多万美金,超过此前保持记录的google的 app域名。

store和shop有什么区别?_百度知道 store和shop都可表示“商店”。 其区别在于: 1、shop 比 store 小。 store 比 shop 正规。 百货商场里有很多卖服装的小店 There are many clothing stores in the department shop。 2、shop在英国一般指零售商店,在美国还指专卖店,即出售固定商品的门市部。
为什么sports shop和clothes shop前面用复数,而gift shop等不用? 言归正传,其实原理很简单,就是本质上压根儿不存在所谓的gift shop…sports shop和clothes shop本质上都是指的现成的某某用品商店,这些都是真实存在的。哪怕品牌、卖的用品不同都是真实有这么一个宏观种类的商店。只是有的店家更愿意专营一个种类的用品,比如专业的trailor shop;或者尝试过卖好几
