https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact%20ionization | Impact ionization is the process in a material by which one energetic charge carrier can lose energy by the creation of other charge carriers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central%20venous%20pressure | Central venous pressure (CVP) is the blood pressure in the venae cavae, near the right atrium of the heart. CVP reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump the blood back into the arterial system. CVP is often a good approximation of right atrial pressure (RAP), although the... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-ended%20triode | A single-ended triode (SET) is a vacuum tube electronic amplifier that uses a single triode to produce an output, in contrast to a push-pull amplifier which uses a pair of devices with antiphase inputs to generate an output with the wanted signals added and the distortion components subtracted. Single-ended amplifiers ... |
