Suppose we wish to maximize f ( x , y ) = x + y {\displaystyle \ f(x,y)=x+y\ } subject to the constraint x 2 + y 2 = 1 . {\displaystyle \ x^{2}+y^{2}=1~.} The feasible set is the unit circle, and the level sets of f are diagonal lines (with slope −1), so we can see graphically that the maximum occurs at ( 1 2 , 1 2 ) ,... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_multiplier |
The BGP 001 used a Mercedes-Benz FO108W engine, supplied through a customer deal. Per the 2009 regulations, the engine was a naturally aspirated V8 and was rev-limited to 18,000 rpm. Originally the car was engineered for a Honda-designed engine, however, when Honda announced their withdrawal from the sport, a customer ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brawn_BGP_001 |
Yixing clay teapots (simplified Chinese: 宜兴; traditional Chinese: 宜興; pinyin: Yíxīng; Wade–Giles: I-Hsing), also called Zisha teapot (Chinese: 紫砂; pinyin: zǐshā; Wade–Giles: tsu sha; lit. 'Purple clay'), are made from Yixing clay. This traditional style commonly used to brew tea originated in China, dating back to the ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yixing_teapot |
The company announced at the fall 2017 Intel Developer Forum their new product, ConsoleTab, which is based on Intel technology. ConsoleTab's auxiliary battery (a planned feature) was soon removed due to hardware problems in the manufacturing process. As of June 2017, the tablet has not been launched, as Console has cit... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Console_Enterprises |
In 1999, Time named Fermi on its list of the top 100 persons of the twentieth century. Fermi was widely regarded as an unusual case of a 20th-century physicist who excelled both theoretically and experimentally. Chemist and novelist C. P. Snow wrote, "if Fermi had been born a few years earlier, one could well imagine h... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrico_Fermi |
Though they spend the most per capita of all tourists to Australia, much of what they spend is through Japanese travel companies, Japanese hotels, and other foreign-owned businesses. There is thus significant leakage to Japan's economy.Leakage not only varies from country to country, but also from industry to industry.... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leakage_effect |

When 16 was subjected to the standard reaction conditions, rapid disappearance of 16 was observed, but no pyrrolidine product could be isolated. This result suggested that there is a high selectivity for the 3° hydrogen, but the intermediate tertiary chloro compound 17 is rapidly solvolyzed. Similarly, no cyclic amine ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofmann–Löffler_reaction |
The eclipsing timing method allows the detection of planets further away from the host star than the transit method. However, signals around cataclysmic variable stars hinting for planets tend to match with unstable orbits. In 2011, Kepler-16b became the first planet to be definitely characterized via eclipsing binary ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_photometry |
The crystal structures determined so far reveal that the typical lipocalin contains eight-stranded antiparallel-barrel arranged to form a conical central cavity in which the hydrophobic ligand is bound. The structure of beta-lactoglobulin reveals that the barrel-form structure with the central cavity of the protein has... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_contact_map |
