Siltation can also affect navigation channels, or irrigation channels. It refers to the undesired accumulation of sediments in channels intended for vessels or for distributing water. One may distinguish between measurements at the source, during transport, and within the affected area. Source measurements of erosion m... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5573115 |
Siltation In the open sea, the impact of concern is almost exclusively with the sessile bottom communities.since empirical data show that fish effectively avoid the impacted area. The siltation affects the bottom community in two main ways. The suspended sediment may interfere with the food gathering of filtering organ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5573115 |
Siltation During dredging, the spill can be minimized but not eliminated completely by the way the dredger is designed and operated. If the material is deposited on land, efficient sedimentation basins can be constructed. If it is dumped into relatively deep water, there will be a significant spill during dumpin but no... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5573115 |
Siltation It is desirable to minimize the siltation of irrigation channels by hydrologic design, the objective being not to create zones with falling sediment transport capacity, as that is conducive to sedimentation. Once sedimentation has occurred, in irrigation or navigation channels, dredging is often the only reme... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5573115 |
Magnetic field viewing film is used to show stationary or (less often) slowly changing magnetic fields; it shows their location and direction. It is a translucent thin flexible sheet, coated with micro-capsules containing nickel flakes suspended in oil. When magnetic lines of force are parallel to the surface of the ca... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5576639 |
Sulfur trioxide pyridine complex is the compound with the formula CHNSO. It is a colourless solid that dissolves in polar organic solvents. It is the adduct formed from the Lewis base pyridine and the Lewis acid sulfur trioxide. The compound is mainly used as a source of sulfur trioxide, for example in the synthesis of... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5578011 |
Polar surface area The polar surface area (PSA) or topological polar surface area (TPSA) of a molecule is defined as the surface sum over all polar atoms or molecules, primarily oxygen and nitrogen, also including their attached hydrogen atoms. PSA is a commonly used medicinal chemistry metric for the optimization of a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5578072 |

Albert Russell Nichols (1859–1933 ) was an English museum curator and zoologist who worked mainly in Ireland. Nichols was educated at Clare College, Cambridge, graduating B.A. in mathematics as 16th wrangler in 1882. Nichols came from England to Dublin in 1883 as Assistant in the Museum of Science and Art (now the Nati... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5588041 |
Picotee describes flowers whose edge is a different colour than the flower's base colour. The word originates from the French "picoté", meaning 'marked with points'. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5589680 |
NGC 2500 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Lynx which was discovered by William Herschel in 1788. Much like the local group in which our own Milky Way galaxy is situated, is part of NGC 2841 group of galaxies which also includes NGC 2541, NGC 2537 and NGC 2552. It has a H II nucleus and exhibits a weak inn... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5590879 |
Khazri () is the name of the cold north Caspian Sea wind that blows across the Absheron Peninsula throughout the year, particularly in Baku. "Khazri" is a gale-force coastal wind and one of the prevailing winds in the area. The speed of "khazri" sometimes reaches . It damages some economic sectors.

Dermott's law is an empirical formula for the orbital period of major satellites orbiting planets in the Solar System. It was identified by the celestial mechanics researcher Stanley Dermott in the 1960s and takes the form: for formula_2 Where "T"("n") is the orbital period of the "n" satellite, "T"(0) is of the order ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5597800 |
Commensurability (astronomy) Commensurability is the property of two orbiting objects, such as planets, satellites, or asteroids, whose orbital periods are in a rational proportion. Examples include the 2:3 commensurability between the orbital periods of Neptune and Pluto, the 3:4 commensurability between the orbital p... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5597859 |
