In a disordered system, the motion of an electron is not ballistic, but diffusive: i.e., the electron does not move along a straight line, but experiences a series of ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5861496 |
Marcellin Boule Pierre-(1 January 1861 – 4 July 1942), better known as merely Marcellin Boule, was a French palaeontologist, geologist, and anthropologist. Pierre-was born in Montsalvy, France. Boule was a professor at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris (1902–36) and "for many years director of the Institu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5868205 |
Marcellin Boule However, the Piltdown forgery has been characterised as providing evidential support for Boule's "branching evolution" conclusions drawn from his Neanderthal research — research which is likewise said to have "prepar[ed] the international community for the appearance of a non-Neanderthal fossil such as ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5868205 |
Kyr The abbreviation kyr means "thousand years". was formerly common in some English language works, especially in geology and astronomy, for the unit of 1,000 years or millennium. The "k" is the unit prefix for kilo- or thousand with the suffix "yr" simply an abbreviation for "year". Occasionally, the "k" is shown in ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5904871 |
NGC 1032 is a spiral galaxy that is about 117 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus. In January 2005 SN 2005E, a calcium-rich supernova, was discovered in NGC 1032. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5916509 |
NGC 1042 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. The galaxy has an apparent magnitude of 14.0. The galaxy appears near the spiral galaxy NGC 1035 in the sky, and both have similar redshifts. The two objects may therefore be physically associated with each other. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5916553 |
Anthesis is the period during which a flower is fully open and functional. It may also refer to the onset of that period. The onset of anthesis is spectacular in some species. In "Banksia" species, for example, anthesis involves the extension of the style far beyond the upper perianth parts. of flowers is sequential wi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5942223 |
Benzole In the United Kingdom, benzole or benzol is a coal-tar product consisting mainly of benzene and toluene.

Aerostatics A subfield of fluid statics, aerostatics is the study of gases that are not in motion with respect to the coordinate system in which they are considered. The corresponding study of gases in motion is called aerodynamics. studies density allocation, especially in air. One of the applications of this is the b... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5950276 |
Aerostatics formula_9 However, the presence of a non-constant density as is found in gaseous fluid systems (due to the compressibility of gases) requires the inclusion of the ideal gas law: formula_10, where formula_11 denotes the universal gas constant, and formula_12 the temperature of the gas, in order to render the... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5950276 |
Pyotr Gorlov Pyotr Nikolayevich Gorlov (; 11 May 1839 in Irkutsk, Irkutsk Governorate, Russian Empire – 20 November 1915) was a geologist and engineer who explored coal deposits in the Donets Basin, the Caucasus, Central Asia and Ussuri Krai.
