LMDS commonly operates on microwave frequencies across the 26 GHz a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical%20anion | In organic chemistry, a radical anion is a free radical species that carries a negative charge. Radical anions are encountered in organic chemistry as reduced derivatives of polycyclic aromatic compounds, e.g. sodium naphthenide. An example of a non-carbon radical anion is the superoxide anion, formed by transfer of on... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel%20single-source%20shortest%20path%20algorithm | A central problem in algorithmic graph theory is the shortest path problem. One of the generalizations of the shortest path problem is known as the single-source-shortest-paths (SSSP) problem, which consists of finding the shortest paths from a source vertex to all other vertices in the graph. There are classical sequ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen%20fuel%20cell%20power%20plant | A hydrogen fuel cell power plant uses a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity for the power grid. They are larger in scale than backup generators such as the Bloom Energy Server and can be up to 60% efficient in converting hydrogen to electricity. There is little to no Nitrous oxide or Sulfur oxides produced in t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQSEC2 | IQ motif and Sec7 domain 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IQSEC2 gene.
Function
The IQSEC2 gene encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the ARF family of GTP-binding proteins (see for example ARF1).
Clinical significance
It is associated with X-Linked mental retardation 1. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenfunction | In mathematics, an eigenfunction of a linear operator D defined on some function space is any non-zero function in that space that, when acted upon by D, is only multiplied by some scaling factor called an eigenvalue. As an equation, this condition can be written as
for some scalar eigenvalue The solutions to this e... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skywarn | Skywarn (sometimes stylized as SKYWARN) is a program of the National Weather Service (NWS). Its mission is to collect reports of localized severe weather in the United States. These reports are used to aid forecasters in issuing and verifying severe weather watches and warnings and to improve the forecasting and warnin... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocaloric%20effect | The electrocaloric effect is a phenomenon in which a material shows a reversible temperature change under an applied electric field. It is often considered to be the physical inverse of the pyroelectric effect. It should not be confused with the Thermoelectric effect (specifically, the Peltier effect), in which a temp... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De%20Bruijn%27s%20theorem | In a 1969 paper, Dutch mathematician Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn proved several results about packing congruent rectangular bricks (of any dimension) into larger rectangular boxes, in such a way that no space is left over. One of these results is now known as de Bruijn's theorem. According to this theorem, a "harmonic br... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser-induced%20breakdown%20spectroscopy | Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a type of atomic emission spectroscopy which uses a highly energetic laser pulse as the excitation source. The laser is focused to form a plasma, which atomizes and excites samples. The formation of the plasma only begins when the focused laser achieves a certain threshold... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrant%20subclavian%20artery | Aberrant subclavian artery, or aberrant subclavian artery syndrome, is a rare anatomical variant of the origin of the right or left subclavian artery. This abnormality is the most common congenital vascular anomaly of the aortic arch, occurring in approximately 1% of individuals.
Presentation
This condition is usuall... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodpasture%20syndrome | Goodpasture syndrome (GPS), also known as anti–glomerular basement membrane disease, is a rare autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the basement membrane in lungs and kidneys, leading to bleeding from the lungs, glomerulonephritis, and kidney failure. It is thought to attack the alpha-3 subunit of type IV col... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thigmonasty | In biology, thigmonasty or seismonasty is the nastic (non-directional) response of a plant or fungus to touch or vibration. Conspicuous examples of thigmonasty include many species in the leguminous subfamily Mimosoideae, active carnivorous plants such as Dionaea and a wide range of pollination mechanisms.
