Its four chambers could be individually turned on and off, so thrust could be changed in increments. The fuel and oxygen tanks for the first two X-1 engines were pressurized with nitrogen, reducing flight time by about minutes and increasing landing weight by , but the rest used gas-driven turbopumps, increasing the chamber pressure and thrust while making the engine lighter. | 590 |

Henry's motives in allowing this are uncertain, with some historians stating it was to keep Madison in New York, far from the elections for Congress taking place in Virginia. | 532 |

1275446 | Lanternfish also account for much of the biomass responsible for the deep scattering layer of the world's oceans. Sonar reflects off the millions of lanternfish swim bladders, giving the appearance of a false bottom.
Lanternfish currently represent one of the dominant groups of mesopelagic fishes in terms of abundance, biomass, and diversity. Their otolith record dominates pelagic sediments below 200 m in dredges, especially during the entire Neogene. The diversity and rise to dominance of lanternfish can be examined by analysing these otolith records. | 558 |

12691877 | Consider these blocks separately and apply the power series to a Jordan block:
This definition can be used to extend the domain of the matrix function
beyond the set of matrices with spectral radius smaller than the radius of convergence of the power series.
Note that there is also a connection to divided differences.
A related notion is the Jordan–Chevalley decomposition which expresses a matrix as a sum of a diagonalizable and a nilpotent part.
A Hermitian matrix has all real eigenvalues and can always be diagonalized by a unitary matrix P, according to the spectral theorem. | 583 |
