			==Methodology==
			Instead of solving for the Kohn-Sham eigenstates as normal DFT codes do, CONQUEST solves for the one particle density matrix, <math>\rho(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r}^\prime)</math>. To make the problem computationally tractable, the density matrix is written in separable form:<br />
			<math>\rho(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r}^\prime) = \sum_{i\alpha j\beta} \phi_{i\alpha}(\mathbf{r}) K_{i\alpha j\beta} \phi_{j\beta}(\mathbf{r}^\prime)</math>,
			where <math>\phi_{i\alpha}(\mathbf{r})</math> is a ''support function'' centred on atom ''i'' (with support functions on the same atom notated by <math>\alpha</math>) and <math>K_{i\alpha j\beta}</math> is the density matrix in the basis of the support functions.<ref name='Hern95'>{{cite journal \| doi=10.1103/PhysRevB.51.10157 \| author=E. Hernandez and M. J. Gillan \| title=Self-consistent first-principles technique with linear scaling \| journal=Phys. Rev. B \| volume=51 \| pages=10157 \| year=1995}}</ref> The ground state is found as a series of nested loops:

			• Minimise the energy with respect to the density matrix for fixed charge density and support functions<br />
			• Find self-consistency between charge density and potential<br />
			• Minimise the energy with respect to the support functions

			The support functions are confined within spheres of given cutoff radius and the density matrix is forced to zero beyond a given range: <math>K_{ij} = 0, \|\mathbf{R}_i - \mathbf{R}_j\| > R_c</math>. These approximations give linear scaling behaviour, and as the radii are increased tend to the exact result.

			==Developers==
			CONQUEST is jointly developed at the Department of Physics and Astronomy and [[London Centre for Nanotechnology]], [[University College London]] in the UK and at the Computational Materials Science Centre, [[National Institute for Materials Science]], Tsukuba, Japan. In the UK, the development team includes Dr. David Bowler, Dr. Veronika Brazdova, Prof. Mike Gillan, Dr. Andrew Horsfield, Mr. Alex Sena and Mr. Lianheng Tong, who are all members of the [[Thomas Young Centre]]; in Japan, the development team includes Dr. Tsuyoshi Miyazaki, Dr. Takahisa Ohno, Dr. Takao Ohtsuka, Dr. Milica Todorovic and Dr. Antonio Torralba.

Muay Thai is among the oldest and the majority popular fighting methods to have emerged from ancient Asia. It is believed to possess originated in Thailand, where that it was created by tribes migrating down from China, first so that you can assist in the fierce warfare essential for the conquest of land, and later utilized to protect that very land from invaders. Through centuries of warfare and training it had been eventually refined in to the modern day combat sport refer to it today. In Thailand it truly is elevated to almost religious levels, being practiced in a variety of gyms and dojos across the nation. It has become called the sport of kings, then one of the greatest honors in the sport could be the opportunity to fight ahead of the King of Thailand. It is also a large part stone of the modern-day sport of mixed martial arts training, known as MMA. Muay Thai is really a part of Thai culture looking at the earliest days. The watershed moment with the sport were only available in 1584 while using ascension of King Naresuan using what is now known as the Ayuddhaya period. The king stipulated that each soldier in their army would have to be trained in Muay Thai equally he had been, which greatly helped to popularize the self-defense skill. Early Times As the experience has evolved to your higher penetration of sophistication, so contains the equipment used, in fighting as well as in training. Early Muay Thai originated from humble and brutal beginnings plus the equipment reflected that. Fighters fought with bare knuckles is actually very little protection. All from the equipment needed for training was discovered in nature. One from the most legendary parts, used historically but still favored by today's hardcore purists, has also been among the most simple and easy and abundantly within Ancient Thailand-the banana tree. This ancient staple of Thai culture is discovered by the forerunners of today's fighters to become particularly appropriate for punching and kicking practice. The legends show that the ancient fighters would kick a corner of a banana tree many times daily to toughen limbs, to deaden nerves also to make themselves inured to pain. The smooth, slightly spongy texture in the banana tree trunk was discovered to be ideally worthy of this purpose as well as the tree am abundant in Thailand that the suitable training environment may be found almost anywhere. The banana tree helped fighters to build up their techniques, to formulate toughness and pursue the hard-body working out for which Muay Thai fighters are known. Ancient practitioners also used other natural resources around them. Natural pools of water were accustomed to increase endurance. Kicking and punching against water proofing was a good way to build strength and maximize the power on impact. Fighters rapidly and repeatedly climbed in and outside of pools to be able to increase endurance. Chopping the sea in front with the face was done to produce focus. These fighters also used suspended or floating coconuts for target practice as a way to work on the precision of their strikes against moving targets.
