Affine vector field An affine vector field (sometimes affine collineation or affine) is a projective vector field preserving geodesics and preserving the affine parameter. Mathematically, this is expressed by the following condition: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2062759 |
Ensemble average (statistical mechanics) In statistical mechanics, the ensemble average is defined as the mean of a quantity that is a function of the microstate of a system, according to the distribution of the system on its micro-states in this ensemble. Since the ensemble average is dependent on the ensemble chosen,... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2063509 |
Ensemble average (statistical mechanics) The grand canonical ensemble represents an open system which can exchange energy (E) as well as particles with its surroundings but the volume (V) is kept constant. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2063509 |
Chirotechnology in materials science is the chemistry and technology of production and separation of enantiomers. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2065712 |
Biopesticide Biopesticides, a contraction of 'biological pesticides', include several types of pest management intervention: through predatory, parasitic, or chemical relationships. The term has been associated historically with [biological control] – and by implication – the manipulation of living organisms. Regulator... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2065799 |
Biopesticide RNA is a relatively fragile molecule that generally degrades within days or weeks of application. Monsanto estimated costs to be on the order of $5/acre. RNAi has been used to target weeds that tolerate Monsanto's Roundup herbicide. RNAi mixed with a silicone surfactant that let the RNA molecules enter air... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2065799 |
Biopesticide The US National Honey Bee Advisory Board told EPA that using RNAi would put natural systems at "the epitome of risk". The beekeepers cautioned that pollinators could be hurt by unintended effects and that the genomes of many insects are still unknown. Other unassessed risks include ecological (given the ne... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2065799 |
Biopesticide Other microbial control agents include products based on: Various naturally occurring materials, including fungal and plant extracts, have been described as biopesticides. Products in this category include: Biopesticides are biological or biologically-derived agents, that are usually applied in a manner si... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2065799 |
Biopesticide Fungicidal and biofungicidal seed treatments are used to control soil borne fungal pathogens that cause seed rots, damping-off, root rot and seedling blights. They can also be used to control internal seed–borne fungal pathogens as well as fungal pathogens that are on the surface of the seed. Many biofungi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2065799 |
SEAgel (Safe Emulsion Agar gel) is one of a class of high-tech foam materials known as aerogels. It is an excellent thermal insulator and among the least dense solids known. was invented by Robert Morrison at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1992. is made of agar, a carbohydrate material that comes from ke... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2070706 |
SEAgel could also be used as food packaging or the encapsulating material of timed-release medical pills, as it is safe to digest. could also replace balsa wood, to insulate supertankers, and to provide sound damping in high-speed trains. was covered under U.S. patents 5,382,285 ("Biofoam") and 5,360,828 ("Biofoam II")... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2070706 |
Rate of heat flow The rate of heat flow is the amount of heat that is transferred per unit of time in some material, usually measured in watt (joules per second). Heat is the flow of thermal energy driven by thermal non-equilibrium, so that 'heat flow' is a redundancy (i.e. a pleonasm, and the same for ‘work flow’). He... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2071466 |
Rate of heat flow In the limit of infinitesimal thickness formula_5, with temperature difference formula_4, this becomes formula_17, where formula_18 is the time rate of heat flow through the area formula_7, formula_20 is the "temperature gradient" across the material, and formula_6, the proportionality constant, is th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2071466 |
