Q2718934 In celestial mechanics, the longitude of the periapsis, also called longitude of the pericenter, of an orbiting body is the longitude (measured from the point of the vernal equinox) at which the periapsis (closest approach to the central body) would occur if the body's orbit inclination were zero. It is usually denoted ϖ.For the motion of a planet around the Sun, this position is called longitude of perihelion ϖ, which is the sum of the longitude of the ascending node Ω, and the argument of perihelion ω.The longitude of periapsis is a compound angle, with part of it being measured in the plane of reference and the rest being measured in the plane of the orbit. Likewise, any angle derived from the longitude of periapsis (e.g., mean longitude and true longitude) will also be compound.Sometimes, the term longitude of periapsis is used to refer to ω, the angle between the ascending node and the periapsis. That usage of the term is especially common in discussions of binary stars and exoplanets. However, the angle ω is less ambiguously known as the argument of periapsis.

Q578580 In computing, an odd–even sort or odd–even transposition sort (also known as brick sort) is a relatively simple sorting algorithm, developed originally for use on parallel processors with local interconnections. It is a comparison sort related to bubble sort, with which it shares many characteristics. It functions by comparing all odd/even indexed pairs of adjacent elements in the list and, if a pair is in the wrong order (the first is larger than the second) the elements are switched. The next step repeats this for even/odd indexed pairs (of adjacent elements). Then it alternates between odd/even and even/odd steps until the list is sorted.

Q7862687 The Tōkai–Tōsan dialect (東海東山方言 Tōkai–Tōsan hōgen) is a group of the transitional Japanese dialects spoken in the southern and eastern Chūbu region. The dialects spoken in the northwest Chubu region are classified as the Hokuriku dialect of Western Japanese. The Tokai–Tosan dialect has three sub-groups: Gifu–Aichi, Echigo, and Nagano–Yamanashi–Shizuoka. These are transitional between Western and Eastern Japanese; which branch of the family they fall in depends on which isoglosses are taken as definitive. (See Eastern and Western Japanese for details.)

Q709201 Alexander Nikolayevich Skrinsky (Скринский, Александр Николаевич) (born 15 January 1936) is a Russian nuclear physicist.He was born in Orenburg and was educated at the high school in the city of Gorky and then at the Lomonosov Moscow State University.In 1957 he joined the laboratory of Gersh Budker, which was a part of the I. V. Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy (now the Kurchatov Institute). Since 1962, Skrinsky has been connected with the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, where he was director from 1977 to 2015.Skrinsky made a significant contribution to the development of the physics of accelerators and high-energy physics (in particular, he developed a method of colliding beams, he participated in the creation of new types of colliders in electron-electron, electron-positron and proton-antiproton beams).In 1964, together with Budker, he developed the foundations of the method of colliding beams, on the basis of which the world's first VEP-1 collider was created at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR for experiments in the physics of elementary particles and a series of studies on quantum electrodynamics was carried out. In 1966 an electron-positron collider VEPP-2 was constructed, experiments on which yielded valuable results on the physics of vector mesons and other hadrons. Later, the method of colliding beams became the basis of modern high-energy experimental physics; In particular, based on the technology of the colliding beams method, the Large Hadron Collider was built.On November 26, 1968 he was elected a corresponding member, and on December 24, 1970 a full member, of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (since 1991 the Russian Academy of Sciences) in the Division of Nuclear Physics (High Energy Physics).
