Secular variation-Astronomy-In astronomy, secular variations are distinguished from periodic phenomena. In particular, astronomical ephemerides use secular to label the longest duration or non-oscillatory perturbations in the motion of planets, contrasted with periodic perturbations which exhibit repetition over the co... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Secular variation-Astronomy-Most of the known perturbations to motion in stable, regular, and well-determined dynamical systems tend to be periodic at some level, but in many-body systems, chaotic dynamics result in some effects which are unidirectional (for example, planetary migration). | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Secular variation-Astronomy-Solar System Secular phenomena create variations in the orbits of the Moon and the planets.

Dehn plane-Dehn's semi-Euclidean geometry-The set of all pairs (x, y), where x and y are any (possibly infinite) elements of the field Ω(t), and with the usual metric ‖(x,y)‖=x2+y2, which takes values in Ω(t), gives a model of Euclidean geometry. The parallel postulate is true in this model, but if the deviation from t... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Dehn plane-Dehn's non-Legendrian geometry-In the same paper, Dehn also constructed an example of a non-Legendrian geometry where there are infinitely many lines through a point not meeting another line, but the sum of the angles in a triangle exceeds π. Riemann's elliptic geometry over Ω(t) consists of the projective p... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Digital Storage Systems Interconnect-Digital Storage Systems Interconnect-The Digital Storage Systems Interconnect (DSSI) is a computer bus developed by Digital Equipment Corporation for connecting storage devices and clustering VAX systems. It was designed as a smaller and lower-cost replacement for the earlier DEC Co... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Digital Storage Systems Interconnect-Digital Storage Systems Interconnect-DSSI peripherals could be distinguished from narrow SCSI devices by their characteristic five-conductor power connector featuring an extra lead intended for Battery/UPS connection to power critical components in the event of a power failure. | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Digital Storage Systems Interconnect-Characteristics-The major characteristics of the DSSI bus are: Eight-bit data path Up to eight nodes on the bus including variable numbers of initiators and targets Distributed arbitration Peak bandwidth of 4 megabytes per second All systems connected to the same DSSI bus must have ... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
