https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopant | A dopant (also called a doping agent) is a small amount of a substance added to a material to alter its physical properties, such as electrical or optical properties. The amount of dopant is typically very low compared to the material being doped.
When doped into crystalline substances, the dopant's atoms get incorpor... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioactive%20paper | Bioactive paper is a paper-based sensor that can identify various contaminants in food and water. First developed in 2009, bioactive paper research has been ongoing and in 2011 was awarded a 5-year grant totalling $7.5 million CAD. It has been developed at the biosensor stage level, which means it can detect pesticides... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur%20M.%20Wellington | Arthur Mellen Wellington (December 20, 1847 – May 17, 1895) was an American civil engineer who wrote the 1877 book The Economic Theory of the Location of Railways. The saying that An engineer can do for a dollar what any fool can do for two is an abridgement of a statement made in this work (see below). Wellington was ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternionic%20analysis | In mathematics, quaternionic analysis is the study of functions with quaternions as the domain and/or range. Such functions can be called functions of a quaternion variable just as functions of a real variable or a complex variable are called.
As with complex and real analysis, it is possible to study the concepts of ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrator%E2%80%93capacitor%20model | The gyrator–capacitor model - sometimes also the capacitor-permeance model - is a lumped-element model for magnetic circuits, that can be used in place of the more common resistance–reluctance model. The model makes permeance elements analogous to electrical capacitance (see magnetic capacitance section) rather than el... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy-enhanced%20computer%20display | Developed by Mitsubitshi Electric Research Laboratories, a privacy-enhanced computer display allows information that must remain private to be viewed on computer displays located in public areas (i.e. banks, hospitals and pharmacies) by employing the use of both ferroelectric shutter glasses and a unique device driver.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frucht%20graph | In the mathematical field of graph theory, the Frucht graph is a cubic graph with 12 vertices, 18 edges, and no nontrivial symmetries. It was first described by Robert Frucht in 1939.
The Frucht graph is a pancyclic, Halin graph with chromatic number 3, chromatic index 3, radius 3, and diameter 4. Like every Halin gra... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excretory%20system%20of%20gastropods | The excretory system of gastropods removes nitrogenous waste and maintains the internal water balance of these creatures, commonly referred to as snails and slugs. The primary organ of excretion is a nephridium.
Structure
The most primitive gastropods retain two nephridia, but in the great majority of species, the ri... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pl%C3%BCcker%27s%20conoid | In geometry, Plücker's conoid is a ruled surface named after the German mathematician Julius Plücker. It is also called a conical wedge or cylindroid; however, the latter name is ambiguous, as "cylindroid" may also refer to an elliptic cylinder.
Plücker's conoid is the surface defined by the function of two variables:... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape%20correction%20%28surveying%29 | In surveying, tape correction(s) refer(s) to correcting measurements for the effect of slope angle, expansion or contraction due to temperature, and the tape's sag, which varies with the applied tension. Not correcting for these effects gives rise to systematic errors, i.e. effects which act in a predictable manner and... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype%20Qik | Skype Qik was a video messaging service by Skype. It was created by the company, Skype Technologies, who acquired Qik. The service, offered for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone devices, allowed users to exchange video messages between individuals or within a group.
Previously, the Qik service offered a mobile-based li... |
