In chemistry , racemization is a conversion, by heat or by chemical reaction, of an optically active compound into a racemic (optically inactive) form. This creates a 1:1 molar ratio of enantiomers and is referred to as a racemic mixture (i.e. contain equal amount of (+) and (−) forms). Plus and minus forms are called ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racemization |
In calculus ,
the racetrack principle describes the movement and growth of two functions in terms of their derivatives .
This principle is derived from the fact that if a horse named Frank Fleetfeet always runs faster than a horse named Greg Gooseleg, then if Frank and Greg start a race from the same place and the sa... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racetrack_principle |
A racetrack problem is a specific instance of a type of race condition . A racetrack problem is a flaw in a system or process whereby the output and/or result of the process is unexpectedly and critically dependent on the sequence or timing of other events that run in a circular pattern. This problem is semantically di... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racetrack_problem |

The RadBall is a 140-millimetre (5.5-inch) diameter deployable, passive, non-electrical gamma hot-spot imaging device that offers a 360 degree view of the deployment area. The device is particularly useful in instances where the radiation fields inside a nuclear facility are unknown but required in order to plan a suit... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RadBall |
Radappertization is a form of food irradiation which applies a dose of ionizing radiation sufficient to reduce the number and activity of viable microorganisms to such an extent that very few, if any, are detectable in the treated food by any recognized method ( viruses being excepted).

Radar is a system that uses radio waves to determine the distance ( ranging ), direction ( azimuth and elevation angles ), and radial velocity of objects relative to the site. It is a radiodetermination method [ 1 ] used to detect and track aircraft , ships , spacecraft , guided missiles , motor vehicles , map weather ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar |
A radar altimeter ( RA ), also called a radio altimeter ( RALT ), electronic altimeter , reflection altimeter , or low-range radio altimeter ( LRRA ), measures altitude above the terrain presently beneath an aircraft or spacecraft by timing how long it takes a beam of radio waves to travel to ground, reflect, and retur... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_altimeter |
Radar ornithology is the use of radar technology in studies of bird migration and in approaches to prevent bird strikes particularly to aircraft. The technique was developed from the observations of pale wisps seen moving on radar during the Second World War. These were termed as "angels", "ghosts", or "phantoms" in Br... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_ornithology |
