Around 1790 French shadow play showman François Dominique Séraphin used a metal shadow figure with jointed parts to have the face of a young woman changing into that of a witch.Some 19th century mechanical magic lantern slides produced changes to the appearance of figures. For instance a nose could grow to enormous siz... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphing |
Power kites are powerful enough to pull the rider like a boat in wakeboarding and to lift their users to diving heights. An uncontrolled kite can be dangerous, especially in environments with solid obstacles. A rider can lose control from falling or from sudden wind gusts, which can occur in the presence of strong wind... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_surfing |
The Peers, however, supported Molé and rejected the initiative. On 20 June 1838, Molé succeeded in having the Assembly pass the 1839 budget before the parliamentary recess.

The survey paper of Ghil et al. (2002) is the basis of the § Methodology section of this article. A crucial result of the work of these authors is that SSA can robustly recover the "skeleton" of an attractor, including in the presence of noise. This skeleton is formed by the least unstable periodic orbits, which can be... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_spectrum_analysis |
One example is the rule stating that φ ∨ ∃ x ψ {\displaystyle \varphi \lor \exists x\psi } implies ∃ x ( φ ∨ ψ ) {\displaystyle \exists x(\varphi \lor \psi )} when x is not a free variable in φ {\displaystyle \varphi } . This rule, which is used to put formulas into prenex normal form, is sound in nonempty domains, but... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicate_Logic |
Siluro a Lenta Corsa (SLC), also known as Maiale (pig), a low speed human torpedo.

At the island of Leros in the Aegean Sea, six Decima Flottiglia MAS crewmen came aboard, including Lieutenant Luigi ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midget_submarine |
In equation (1) the air speed through the insulation, u is taken as positive when the air flow is in the opposite direction to the conductive heat flow (contra-flux). Equation (1) also applies to steady state heat flow in multi-layred walls.Equation (1) has an analytical solution For the boundary conditions: T(x) = To ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_insulation |
Another model with W′ bosons but without an additional SU(2) factor is the so-called 331 model with β = ± 1 3 . {\displaystyle \;\beta =\pm {\tfrac {1}{\sqrt {3\;}}}~.} The symmetry breaking chain SU(3)L × U(1)W → SU(2)W × U(1)Y leads to a pair of W′± bosons and three Z′ bosons. W′ bosons also arise in Kaluza–Klein the... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z'_boson |
Social penetration theory explains how two individuals grow in intimacy and move from one level to the next in their relationships. The popular idea behind social penetration is that individual are like onions; they have layers and as you go deeper, the more intimate you become.
