654,526 | Generally, designs that work well do not rely on being secret. Often, secrecy reduces the number of attackers by demotivating a subset of the threat population. The logic is that if there is an increase in complexity for the attacker, the increased attacker effort to compromise the target will discourage them. While th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=1646964 | 654,182 |
546,236 | In the second half of 1941 the Australian I Corps was concentrated in Syria and Lebanon where it undertook garrison duties while its strength was rebuilt ahead of further operations in the Middle East.

499,991 | The VSM relies on Faraday's law of induction, with the detection of the emf given by formula_1, where "N" is the number of wire turns, "A" is the area, and formula_2 the angle between the normal of the coil and the B field. However, "N" and "A" are often unnecessary if the VSM is properly calibrated. By varying the str... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=18036628 | 499,734 |
1,167,213 | The advantage of this method, aside from its relatively straightforward nature, is the fact that with a large enough solid surface, multiple droplets can be deposited in various locations on the sample to determine heterogeneity.

1,300,294 | When intellectual obstacles like this were overcome, it led to a golden age of neuroethology, by focusing on simple and robust forms of behavior, and by applying modern neurobiological methods to explore the entire chain of sensory and neural mechanisms underlying these behaviors (Zupanc 2004).

910,229 | At the fundamental level, polarization rotation in an optically active medium is caused by circular birefringence, and can best be understood in that way. Whereas linear birefringence in a crystal involves a small difference in the phase velocity of light of two different linear polarizations, circular birefringence im... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39774 | 909,750 |
135,301 | Pei felt that his design for the Bank of China Tower needed to reflect "the aspirations of the Chinese people".
