The expert recognized Beethoven's handwriting, but in order to save the manuscript from being looted he lied to the Nazis and said it was not authentic. The Museum was then allowed to keep it. It remained with the Moravian Museum for more than 80 years.The Nazis seized most of the Petschek family's assets and possessio... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravské_zemské_muzeum |
Linear electrical networks with more than one port may be described by impedance or admittance matrices. So by extending the definition of PR to matrix-valued functions, linear multi-port networks which are passive may be distinguished from those that are not. A possibly irrational matrix-valued function Z(s) is PR if ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive-real_function |
However, they are done based on a perception of reality. This perception is already a model in itself, as it comes with a physical constraint. There are also constraints on what we are able to legally observe with our current tools and methods, and cognitive constraints that limit what we are able to explain with our c... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_modeling |
Augustus De Morgan proposed a hierarchy of ratio-type testsThe ratio test parameters ( ρ n {\displaystyle \rho _{n}} ) below all generally involve terms of the form D n a n / a n + 1 − D n + 1 {\displaystyle D_{n}a_{n}/a_{n+1}-D_{n+1}} . This term may be multiplied by a n + 1 / a n {\displaystyle a_{n+1}/a_{n}} to yiel... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_test |
Actin is the most abundant cellular protein, and its release into extracellular fluid and circulation following cellular injury from disease or injury leads to increased blood viscosity, hindered microcirculation, and activation of platelets. Hemodialysis patients with low levels of pGSN and high levels of actin in blo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gelsolin |
They can also be used by workers who badly distinguish different colors.

The B61 bomb was developed by Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL; now Los Alamos National Laboratory) starting in 1960. The intent was to develop an aircraft bomb which was high yield (over 100 kilotons) and yet was small enough and had low enough drag to carry under the wing of a fighter or fighter-bomber type air... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B61_Family |
Stealth implements WDM fiber transmission technology for connecting customers to its hubs, by allocating a wavelength for each customer, whereas each wavelength is capable of transmitting between 1 Gbit/s to 400 Gbit/s. The company claims that it makes use of special materials to split and combine multiple wavelengths ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_Communications |
The power that an antenna will deliver to a receiver (with a proper impedance match) is reduced by the same amount. In some receiving applications, the very inefficient antennas may have little impact on performance. At low frequencies, for example, atmospheric or man-made noise can mask antenna inefficiency. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_polarization |
In national parks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, such as Kahuzi-Biéga National Park, heavily armed park rangers come into deadly conflict with the pygmy inhabitants who often cut the trees down to sell charcoal. The conservation efforts of national parks in the country are often financed by international orga... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortress_conservation |
