https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave%20Imaging%20Radiometer%20with%20Aperture%20Synthesis | Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) is the major instrument on the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity satellite (SMOS). MIRAS employs a planar antenna composed of a central body (the so-called hub) and three telescoping, deployable arms, in total 69 receivers on the Unit. Each receiver is compose... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic%20sensor | A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors"). Fibers have many uses in remote sensing. Depending on the application, fiber may be used... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossiball | The Impossiball is a rounded icosahedral puzzle similar to the Rubik's Cube. It has a total of 20 movable pieces to rearrange, which is the same as the Rubik's Cube, but all of the Impossiball's pieces are corners, like the Pocket Cube.
History
William O. Gustafson applied for a patent for the Impossiball design in 1... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle%20criterion | In nonlinear control and stability theory, the circle criterion is a stability criterion for nonlinear time-varying systems. It can be viewed as a generalization of the Nyquist stability criterion for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems.
Overview
Consider a linear system subject to non-linear feedback, i.e. a non lin... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutte%20matrix | In graph theory, the Tutte matrix A of a graph G = (V, E) is a matrix used to determine the existence of a perfect matching: that is, a set of edges which is incident with each vertex exactly once.
If the set of vertices is then the Tutte matrix is an n × n matrix A with entries
where the xij are indeterminates. ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate%20Math%20League%20of%20Eastern%20Massachusetts | The Intermediate Math League of Eastern Massachusetts (or IMLEM) is a math league for middle schools across Eastern Massachusetts. A brief history of IMLEM is given in its By-Laws:
Schools
As of 2017, 86 different schools attend the competition. Each school is allowed to send more than 1 team and each team can consist... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic%20farming%20and%20biodiversity | The effect of organic farming has been a subject of interest for researchers. Theory suggests that organic farming practices, which exclude the use of most synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, may be beneficial for biodiversity. This is generally shown to be true for soils scaled to the area of cultivated land, where ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant%20problem | In mathematics, the constant problem is the problem of deciding whether a given expression is equal to zero.
The problem
This problem is also referred to as the identity problem or the method of zero estimates. It has no formal statement as such but refers to a general problem prevalent in transcendental number theor... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio%20science%20subsystem | A radio science subsystem (RSS) is a subsystem placed on board a spacecraft for radio science purposes.
Function of the RSS
The RSS uses radio signals to probe a medium such as a planetary atmosphere. The spacecraft transmits a highly stable signal to ground stations, receives such a signal from ground stations, or b... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization | In computing, virtualization or virtualisation (sometimes abbreviated v12n, a numeronym) is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something at the same abstraction level, including virtual computer hardware platforms, storage devices, and computer network resources.
Virtualization began in the ... |
