Shock sensitivity Many practical commercial materials of intermediate sensitivity, such as gelignites and water gel explosives, can be safely handled as they will not explode from casual shocks such as being dropped or lightly knocked by a tool. However, they may explode if struck forcefully by a metal tool, and would ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2242641 |
Thermal Hall effect The thermal Hall effect is the thermal analog of the Hall effect. Here, a thermal gradient is produced across a solid instead of an electric field. When a magnetic field is applied, an orthogonal temperature gradient develops. For conductors, a significant portion of the thermal current is carried b... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2243574 |
Newton-second The newton-second (also newton second; symbol: N⋅s or N s) is the derived SI unit of impulse. It is dimensionally equivalent to the momentum unit kilogram-metre per second (kg⋅m/s). One newton-second corresponds to a one-newton force applied for one second. It can be used to identify the resultant velocit... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2244399 |
Composite variety A composite variety is a plant population in which at least 70% of its progeny result from the crossing of the parent lines. A composite variety is a variety developed by mixing the seeds of various phenotypically outstanding lines possessing similarities for various characteristics like height, seed ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2244564 |
OVV quasar An optically violent variable quasar (often abbreviated as OVV quasar) is a type of highly variable quasar. It is a subtype of blazar that consists of a few rare, bright radio galaxies, whose visible light output can change by 50% in a day. OVV quasars have essentially become unified with highly polarized qu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2247233 |
Agrostology (from Greek , "agrōstis", "type of grass"; and , "-logia"), sometimes graminology, is the scientific study of the grasses (the family Poaceae, or Gramineae). The grasslike species of the sedge family (Cyperaceae), the rush family (Juncaceae), and the bulrush or cattail family (Typhaceae) are often included ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2247377 |
