Adduct purification is a technique for preparing extremely pure simple organometallic compounds, which are generally unstable and hard to handle, by purifying a stable adduct with a Lewis acid and then obtaining the desired product from the pure adduct by thermal decomposition. Epichem Limited is the licensee of the ma... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14346088 |
Relativistic speed refers to speed at which relativistic effects become significant to the desired accuracy of measurement of the phenomenon being observed. Relativistic effects are those discrepancies between values calculated by models considering and not considering relativity. Related words are velocity, rapidity, ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14346669 |
Hatta number The (Ha) was developed by Shirôji Hatta, who taught at Tohoku University. It is a dimensionless parameter that compares the rate of reaction in a liquid film to the rate of diffusion through the film. For a second order reaction ("r" = "k""C""C"), the maximum rate of reaction assumes that the liquid film i... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14356754 |
Schottky anomaly The is an effect observed in solid-state physics where the specific heat capacity of a solid at low temperature has a peak. It is called anomalous because the heat capacity usually increases with temperature, or stays constant. It occurs in systems with a limited number of energy levels so that E(T) in... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14369709 |
Schottky anomaly At high temperature the paramagnetic spins have many spin states available, but at low temperatures some of the spin states are "frozen out" (having too high energy due to crystal field splitting), and the entropy per impurity is lowered. It was named after Walter H. Schottky. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14369709 |
Schwarzschild criterion Discovered by Karl Schwarzschild, the is a criterion in astrophysics where a stellar medium is stable against convection where where formula_2 is gravity and formula_3 is the heat capacity at constant pressure. If a gas is unstable against convection then if an element is displaced upwards its b... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14370049 |
Dhori virus (DHOV) is a species of the genus "Thogotovirus" and a member of the family "Orthomyxoviridae". Its hosts are ticks, mosquitoes, and mammals (including humans). is lethal to mice, causing systemic pathologic changes similar to those reported in humans with virulent influenza A (H5N1) virus infection.

Lateral shoot A lateral shoot, commonly known as a branch, is a part of a plant's shoot system that develops from axillary buds on the stem's surface, extending laterally from the plant's stem. As a plant grows it requires more energy, it also is required to out-compete nearby plants for this energy. One of the ways a ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14372314 |
Lateral shoot Along with general growth there are also transcription factors that directly effect the production of additional lateral shoots like the TCP family (also known as Teosinte branched 1/cycloidea/proliferating cell factor) which are plant specific proteins that suppress lateral shoot branching. Additionally ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14372314 |
Geological Magazine The is a peer-reviewed scientific journal established in 1864, covering the earth sciences. It publishes original scientific research papers on geological topics. The journal is published bimonthly by Cambridge University Press. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14387933 |
Floral Genome Project The is a collaborative research cooperation primarily between Penn State University, University of Florida, and Cornell University. The initial funding came from a grant of $7.4 million from the National Science Foundation. The was initiated to bridge the genomic gap between the most broadly studi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14408410 |
Microbarometer Microbarometers are sensitive barometers that can measure air pressure with high precision. Microbarometers typically have a resolution of microbars (μbar) or pascals (Pa), while ordinary barometers can only resolve in hectopascals (hPa) or millibars (mbar). Recording microbarometers, or microbarographs,... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14417117 |
Isoenthalpic–isobaric ensemble The isoenthalpic-isobaric ensemble (constant enthalpy and constant pressure ensemble) is a statistical mechanical ensemble that maintains constant enthalpy formula_1 and constant pressure formula_2 applied. It is also called the formula_3-ensemble, where the number of particles formula_4 ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14422554 |
Cloud iridescence or irisation is a colorful optical phenomenon that occurs in a cloud and appears in the general proximity of the Sun or Moon. The colors resemble those seen in soap bubbles and oil on a water surface. It is a type of photometeor. This fairly common phenomenon is most often observed in altocumulus, cir... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14424426 |
Cloud iridescence If parts of clouds contain small water droplets or ice crystals of similar size, their cumulative effect is seen as colors. The cloud must be optically thin, so that most rays encounter only a single droplet. Iridescence is therefore mostly seen at cloud edges or in semi-transparent clouds, while newl... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14424426 |
