Between 1883 and 1939 he described 1,989 new species and 564 new varieties or subspecies of insects, 99... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28342026 |
Tenacity (mineralogy) In mineralogy, tenacity is a mineral's behavior when deformed or broken. Brittleness:<br> The mineral breaks or powders easily. Most ionic-bonded minerals are brittle. Malleability:<br> The mineral may be pounded out into thin sheets. Metallic-bonded minerals are usually malleable. Ductility:<br> ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28345476 |
Louis Späth (fl. 1892) appears in the International Plant Names Index as the author of one or more botanical names. His specialism was spermatophytes. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28349634 |
DENIS J081730.0−615520 (also known as 2MASS 08173001−6155158) is a T brown dwarf approximately away in the constellation Carina. It was discovered by Etienne Artigau and his colleagues in April 2010. The star belongs to the T6 spectral class implying a photosphere temperature of about 950 K. It has a mass of about 15 M... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28362507 |
Polypetalae was a taxonomic grouping used in the identification of plants, but it is now considered to be artificial group, one that does not reflect evolutionary history. The grouping was based on similar morphological plant characteristics. was defined as including plants with the petals free from the base or only sl... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28368683 |
Vanishing scalar invariant spacetime In mathematical physics, vanishing scalar invariant (VSI) spacetimes are Lorentzian manifolds with all polynomial curvature invariants of all orders vanishing. Although the only Riemannian manifold with VSI property is flat space, the Lorentzian case admits nontrivial spacetimes wit... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28371877 |
Kundt spacetime In mathematical physics, Kundt spacetimes are Lorentzian manifolds admitting a geodesic null congruence with vanishing optical scalars (expansion, twist and shear). A well known member of Kundt class is pp-wave. Ricci-flat Kundt spacetimes in arbitrary dimension are algebraically special. In four dimens... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28411451 |
Heteronuclear molecule A heteronuclear molecule is a molecule composed of atoms of more than one chemical element. For example, a molecule of water (HO) is heteronuclear because it has atoms of two different elements, hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). Similarly, a heteronuclear ion is an ion that contains atoms of more than... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28426846 |
Methylacetylene-propadiene gas Methylacetylene-propadiene (MPS) gas is a type of fuel gas used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting torches, comprising a mixture of several gases. An MPS gas is a mixture of two or more of propane, butane, butadiene, methylacetylene (propyne, CHC≡CH) and propadiene (CH=C=CH). They are market... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28466582 |
Virbhadra–Ellis lens equation The relates angular positions of an unlensed source formula_1, the image formula_2, the Einstein bending angle of light formula_3, and the angular diameter lens-source formula_4 and observer-source formula_5 distances. This lens equation is useful for studying gravitational lensing in a st... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28472413 |
Jaramillo normal event The is a period of normal polarity of Earth's magnetic field during the Matumaya Reversed Epoch. The is dated to 1.06 to 0.9 million years ago in the stratigraphic record of Pleistocene epoch rocks found near Jaramillo Creek in the Valles Caldera of New Mexico. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28482468 |
HL23V was reputedly a type C RNA tumor virus first isolated in 1975 from cultured human acute myelogenous leukaemia peripheral blood leukocytes, which would have been the first cancer-causing retrovirus isolated from human sera. It was later shown to be a laboratory contaminant of three monkey viruses. The journal "Nat... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28499068 |
Gasochromism is closely related to electrochromism. The process involves the interaction of an electrochrome, usually a metal oxide, such as tungsten oxide, with an oxidizing or reducing gas, commonly oxygen and hydrogen, producing reversible color changes. The gasochromic technology is used commercially in reversible ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=28540674 |
