Central Pacific Railroad's El Gobernador, built in 1883, was the only locomotive with this wheel arrangement to operate i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0-6-6-0 | Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, a wheel arrangement refers to a locomotive with two engine units mounted under a rigid locomotive frame, with the front engine unit pivoting and each engine unit with six coupled driving wheels without any leading or trailing wheels. The wheel arran... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-8-8-8-2 | Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, a 2-8-8-8-2 has two leading wheels, three sets of eight driving wheels, and two trailing wheels. Because of its length, such a locomotive must be an articulated locomotive. It is not longer than a normal articulated; the third set of drivers is locat... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingual%20lipase | Lingual lipase is a member of a family of digestive enzymes called triacylglycerol lipases, EC 3.1.1.3, that use the catalytic triad of aspartate, histidine, and serine to hydrolyze medium and long-chain triglycerides into partial glycerides and free fatty acids. The enzyme, released into the mouth along with the saliv... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phycocyanin | Phycocyanin is a pigment-protein complex from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, along with allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin. It is an accessory pigment to chlorophyll. All phycobiliproteins are water-soluble, so they cannot exist within the membrane like carotenoids can. Instead, phycobiliproteins aggrega... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor%20theorem | In algebra, the factor theorem connects polynomial factors with polynomial roots. Specifically, if is a polynomial, then is a factor of if and only if (that is, is a root of the polynomial). The theorem is a special case of the polynomial remainder theorem.
The theorem results from basic properties of addition an... |
