Grain boundaries are two-dimensional defects in the crystal structure, and tend to decrease the electrical and thermal conductivity of the material. Most grain boundaries are preferred sites for t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20environmental%20dates | This is a list of environmental dates which are designated for creating awareness of environmental issues.
Species awareness days highlight biodiversity, with the aim of increasing understanding and appreciation of the subject. Some of these days have been shown to cause a rise in information-seeking behaviour, and ma... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleation | In thermodynamics, nucleation is the first step in the formation of either a new thermodynamic phase or structure via self-assembly or self-organization within a substance or mixture. Nucleation is typically defined to be the process that determines how long an observer has to wait before the new phase or self-organize... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytochrome%20b6f%20complex | The cytochrome b6f complex (plastoquinol—plastocyanin reductase; ) is an enzyme found in the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts of plants, cyanobacteria, and green algae, that catalyzes the transfer of electrons from plastoquinol to plastocyanin. The reaction is analogous to the reaction catalyzed by cytochrome bc1 (C... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtubule-associated%20protein | In cell biology, microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) are proteins that interact with the microtubules of the cellular cytoskeleton. MAPs are integral to the stability of the cell and its internal structures and the transport of components within the cell.
Function
MAPs bind to the tubulin subunits that make up micr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal%20twinning | Crystal twinning occurs when two or more adjacent crystals of the same mineral are oriented so that they share some of the same crystal lattice points in a symmetrical manner. The result is an intergrowth of two separate crystals that are tightly bonded to each other. The surface along which the lattice points are shar... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine%20receptor%20D4 | {{DISPLAYTITLE:Dopamine receptor D4}}
The dopamine receptor D4 is a dopamine D2-like G protein-coupled receptor encoded by the gene on chromosome 11 at 11p15.5.
The structure of DRD4 was recently reported in complex with the antipsychotic drug nemonapride.
As with other dopamine receptor subtypes, the D4 receptor ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbomachinery | Turbomachinery, in mechanical engineering, describes machines that transfer energy between a rotor and a fluid, including both turbines and compressors. While a turbine transfers energy from a fluid to a rotor, a compressor transfers energy from a rotor to a fluid.
These two types of machines are governed by the same ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplesse | Simplesse is a multi-functional dairy ingredient made from whey protein concentrate used as a fat substitute in low-calorie foods. Originally brought to market in 1988, the manufacturer, CP Kelco (a former NutraSweet subsidiary), sells Simplesse to food processors as a "microparticulated whey protein concentrate" in dr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-bass | Sub-bass sounds are the deep, low-register pitches below approximately 70 Hz (C2 in scientific pitch notation) and extending downward to include the lowest frequency humans can hear, approximately 20 Hz (E0).
In this range, human hearing is less sensitive, so these notes tend to be felt more than heard. The low E-str... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min-conflicts%20algorithm | In computer science, the min-conflicts algorithm is a search algorithm or heuristic method to solve constraint satisfaction problems.
Given an initial assignment of values to all the variables of a constraint satisfaction problem, the algorithm randomly selects a variable from the set of variables with conflicts viola... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight%20Lace | Midnight Lace is a 1960 American psychological thriller film directed by David Miller and starring Doris Day, Rex Harrison, John Gavin, Myrna Loy, and Roddy McDowall. The plot centers on a woman threatened by an anonymous stalker but has a hard time convincing others of what is happening. The screenplay by Ivan Goff an... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solutions%20of%20the%20Einstein%20field%20equations | Solutions of the Einstein field equations are metrics of spacetimes that result from solving the Einstein field equations (EFE) of general relativity. Solving the field equations gives a Lorentz manifold. Solutions are broadly classed as exact or non-exact.
The Einstein field equations are
