Gender typing Lawrence Kohlberg suggested that cognition comes before action and behavior (“I am a boy so I do boy-like things”).

Tidal atlas A tidal atlas or a tidal stream atlas is used to predict the direction and speed of tidal currents. A tidal atlas usually consists of a set of 12 or 13 diagrams, one for each hour of the tidal cycle, for a coastal region. Each diagram uses arrows to indicate the direction of the flow at that time. The speed... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=30862602 |
Pre-exponential factor In chemical kinetics, the pre-exponential factor or A factor is the pre-exponential constant in the Arrhenius equation, an empirical relationship between temperature and rate coefficient. It is usually designated by A when determined from experiment, while Z is usually left for collision frequenc... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=30862748 |

Speleogen A speleogen is a geological feature within a karst system that is created by the dissolution of bedrock. As rain water falls through the atmosphere it picks up carbon dioxide and more as it passes through organic material in the soil. As water moves through joints and cracks in calcium carbonate bedrock, more... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=30865432 |
Teclu burner The is a laboratory gas burner, a variant of the Bunsen burner, named after the Romanian chemist Nicolae Teclu. It can produce a hotter flame than a Bunsen burner. The lower part of its tube is conical, with a round screw nut below its base. The gap, set by the distance between the nut and the end of the t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=30868647 |
Physical system In physics, a physical system is a portion of the physical universe chosen for analysis. Everything outside the system is known as the environment. The environment is ignored except for its effects on the system. The split between system and environment is the analyst's choice, generally made to simplif... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=30871250 |

Unburned hydrocarbon Unburnt hydrocarbons (UHCs) are the hydrocarbons emitted after petroleum is burned in an engine. When unburnt fuel is emitted from a combustor, the emission is caused by fuel "avoiding" the flame zones. For example, in piston engines, some of the fuel-air mixture "hides" from the flame in the crevi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=30876715 |
