This form of epitaxial growth is performed in an ultrahigh vacuum system. The reactants are in the form of molecular beams of reactive gases, typically as the hydride or... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How%20to%20Lie%20with%20Statistics | How to Lie with Statistics is a book written by Darrell Huff in 1954, presenting an introduction to statistics for the general reader. Not a statistician, Huff was a journalist who wrote many how-to articles as a freelancer.
The book is a brief, breezy illustrated volume outlining the misuse of statistics and errors i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated%20glazing | Insulating glass (IG) consists of two or more glass window panes separated by a space to reduce heat transfer across a part of the building envelope. A window with insulating glass is commonly known as double glazing or a double-paned window, triple glazing or a triple-paned window, or quadruple glazing or a quadruple-... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian%20tortoise | The Russian tortoise (Testudo horsfieldii), also commonly known as the Afghan tortoise, the Central Asian tortoise, Horsfield's tortoise, four-clawed tortoise, and the (Russian) steppe tortoise, as well as the "Four-Toed Tortoise" is a threatened species of tortoise in the family Testudinidae. The species is endemic to... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FO4 | In digital electronics, Fan-out of 4 is a measure of time used in digital CMOS technologies: the gate delay of a component with a fan-out of 4.
Fan out = Cload / Cin, where
Cload = total MOS gate capacitance driven by the logic gate under consideration
Cin = the MOS gate capacitance of the logic gate under considerat... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeophyte | An archaeophyte is a plant species which is non-native to a geographical region, but which was an introduced species in "ancient" times, rather than being a modern introduction. Those arriving after are called neophytes.
The cut-off date is usually the beginning of the early modern period (turn of the 15th or 16th ce... |

Netflix provides physical appliances to internet service providers that allow them to avoid traffic during peak hours of streaming or sustain the anticipated ones. By shipp... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic%20Information%20Exchange%20System | The Electronic Information Exchange System (EIES, pronounced eyes) was an early online conferencing bulletin board system that allowed real-time and asynchronous communication. The system was used to deliver courses, conduct conferencing sessions, and facilitate research. Funded by the National Science Foundation and d... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reification%20%28computer%20science%29 | Reification is the process by which an abstract idea about a computer program is turned into an explicit data model or other object created in a programming language. A computable/addressable object—a resource—is created in a system as a proxy for a non computable/addressable object. By means of reification, something ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantics%20encoding | A semantics encoding is a translation between formal languages. For programmers, the most familiar form of encoding is the compilation of a programming language into machine code or byte-code. Conversion between document formats are also forms of encoding. Compilation of TeX or LaTeX documents to PostScript are also c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air%20gravity%20anomaly | In geophysics, the free-air gravity anomaly, often simply called the free-air anomaly, is the measured gravity anomaly after a free-air correction is applied to account for the elevation at which a measurement is made. It does so by adjusting these measurements of gravity to what would have been measured at a reference... |
