They can be divided into the reusable type, which works as a thermal mass and requires freezing, or the instant type, which cools itself down using chemicals but can only be used once. The instant type is ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scordatura | Scordatura (; literally, Italian for "discord", or "mistuning") is a tuning of a string instrument that is different from the normal, standard tuning. It typically attempts to allow special effects or unusual chords or timbre, or to make certain passages easier to play. It is common to notate the finger position as if ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIX | VIX is the ticker symbol and the popular name for the Chicago Board Options Exchange's CBOE Volatility Index, a popular measure of the stock market's expectation of volatility based on S&P 500 index options. It is calculated and disseminated on a real-time basis by the CBOE, and is often referred to as the fear index o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic%20Institute%20for%20Theoretical%20Physics | The Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, or NORDITA, or Nordita (), is an international organisation for research in theoretical physics. It was established as Nordisk Institut for Teoretisk Atomfysik in 1957 by Niels Bohr and the Swedish physicist Torsten Gustafson. Nordita was originally located at the Niels Boh... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antony%20Wassermann | Antony John Wassermann (born 1957) is a British mathematician working in operator algebras. He is known for his works on conformal field theory (providing several series of subfactors), the actions of compact groups on von Neumann algebras, and his proof of the Baum–Connes conjecture for connected reductive linear Lie ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restricted%20power%20series | In algebra, the ring of restricted power series is the subring of a formal power series ring that consists of power series whose coefficients approach zero as degree goes to infinity. Over a non-archimedean complete field, the ring is also called a Tate algebra. Quotient rings of the ring are used in the study of a for... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisperm%20antibodies | Antisperm antibodies (ASA) are antibodies produced against sperm antigens.
Types
Antisperm antibodies are immunoglobulins of IgG, IgA, and/or IgM, which are directed against sperm antigens. ASA can be detected in ejaculate, cervical mucus, follicular fluid, and blood serum of both males and females. While IgG and IgA... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting%20quantum%20computing | Superconducting quantum computing is a branch of solid state quantum computing that implements superconducting electronic circuits using superconducting qubits as artificial atoms, or quantum dots. For superconducting qubits, the two logic states are the ground state and the excited state, denoted respectively. Researc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morley%20rank | In mathematical logic, Morley rank, introduced by , is a means of measuring the size of a subset of a model of a theory, generalizing the notion of dimension in algebraic geometry.
Definition
Fix a theory T with a model M. The Morley rank of a formula φ defining a definable (with parameters) subset S of M
is an ord... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan%E2%80%93Wigner%20transformation | The Jordan–Wigner transformation is a transformation that maps spin operators onto fermionic creation and annihilation operators. It was proposed by Pascual Jordan and Eugene Wigner for one-dimensional lattice models, but now two-dimensional analogues of the transformation have also been created. The Jordan–Wigner tran... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional%20electron%20gas | A two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is a scientific model in solid-state physics. It is an electron gas that is free to move in two dimensions, but tightly confined in the third. This tight confinement leads to quantized energy levels for motion in the third direction, which can then be ignored for most problems. Thu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sternothyroid%20muscle | The sternothyroid muscle (or sternothyroideus) is an infrahyoid muscle of the neck. It acts to depress the hyoid bone.
Structure
The two muscles are in contact with each other proximally (close their origin), but diverge distally (towards their insertions).
Origin
The sternothyroid arises from the posterior surface... |
