Juan Tavera (1917–1991) was a Chilean geologist and paleontologist. His most important work was on the marine invertebrate fossils of the formations of Algarrobo, Arauco and Navidad. Tavera's work contributed to an increased understanding of the stratigraphy of Chile, for example by defining Ranquil Formation in 1942. ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=44360481 |
Gregory Natural Bridge is a submerged natural arch that exists under Lake Powell in Utah. Before it was submerged in 1969, it had a span of 127 feet. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=44372448 |
Transition modeling is the use of a model to predict the change from laminar and turbulent flows in fluids and their respective effects on the overall solution. The complexity and lack of understanding of the underlining physics of the problems makes simulating the interaction between laminar and turbulent flow to be d... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=44381526 |
Robert Willard Hodgson (1893–1966), was an American botanist, taxonomist and agricultural researcher located in the California State, an exceptional citrus and avocado expert. He was a co-author of The Citrus Industry book, emeritus professor of University of California, and dean of the College of Agriculture. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=44381931 |
Beekite is a distinctive form of chalcedony usually associated with silica replacing carbonate minerals in fossils (e.g. the top part of the coral illustrated). Beekite, recognised as small, concentric rings (cylinders, ellipsoids, or spheres in 3D) of microcrystalline quartz is recorded as first brought to attention o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=44383739 |
Varley F. Sears Varley Fullerton Sears (born 1937, died at age 81 in Deep River, Ontario on June 9, 2019) was a Canadian physicist, notable for his contributions to the methodological foundations of neutron scattering. In 1960, Sears obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto with a thesis on "The rotational absor... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=44389424 |
LeRoy E. Doggett Prize The is Awarded biennially by the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society for individuals who have significantly influenced the field of the history of astronomy by a career-long effort.

Shoolery's rule Shoolery's rule, which is named after James Nelson Shoolery, is a good approximation about Chemical shift "δ" of Methylene group in Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. We can calculate shift of A and B (A–CH–B) . The increments S is calculated by empirical ways. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=44442470 |

Optoelectrowetting (OEW) is a method of liquid droplet manipulation used in microfluidics applications. This technique builds on the principle of electrowetting, which has proven useful in liquid actuation due to fast switching response times and low power consumption. Where traditional electrowetting runs into challen... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=44524545 |
Optoelectrowetting Under normal (dark) conditions, the majority of the system's impedance lies in the photoconducting region, and therefore the majority of the voltage drop occurs here. However, when light is shined on the system, carrier generation and recombination causes the conductivity of the photoconductor spikes... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=44524545 |
Optoelectrowetting The large number of electrodes leads to complexity for both control and packaging of these chips, especially for droplet sizes of smaller scales. While this problem can be solved through integration of electronic decoders, the cost of the chip would significantly increase. Droplet manipulation in ele... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=44524545 |
