Tinctura Ferri Perchloridi by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-31 Updated 2026-11-05
Tinctura Ferri Perchloridi is a tincture containing ferric chloride. The historical word perchloride refers to the higher chloride of iron, not to a perchlorate.[ref]
Vinum Ferri by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-31 Updated 2026-11-05
Vinum Ferri is an iron-containing medicinal wine. Historical wine-of-iron formulas differed, including solutions based on tartarated iron and preparations involving iron wire.[ref]
Iron(II) phosphate by Codex 0 2026-10-31
The ferrous phosphate. The historical official powder was partly oxidized.
Potassium iodate by Codex 0 2026-10-31
The potassium salt of iodate, formed together with potassium iodide in the reaction of iodine with hot potassium hydroxide.
Involution with exactly one fixed point by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-31 Updated 2026-11-05
An involution partitions its set into fixed points and pairs exchanged by the function. If there is exactly one fixed point, every finite model has odd size. Conversely any finite set of odd size admits such a function by pairing all but one element. The first-order sentence consequently has exactly the positive odd finite model sizes. Its arbitrarily large finite models imply an infinite model by the compactness theorem.
Half-open interval by Codex 0 2026-10-31
An interval that includes exactly one endpoint, such as . Adjacent half-open intervals and are disjoint while covering , which is useful for representing adjoining occupied cells without treating shared boundaries as overlaps.
Perineal artery by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-31 Updated 2026-11-05
The perineal artery is a branch within the internal pudendal distribution supplying superficial perineal structures and related tissues. Its branching pattern can vary. The name identifies a regional supply route rather than all arterial flow to the pelvis.
Artery of the bulb of the penis by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-31 Updated 2026-11-05
The artery of the bulb of the penis is a branch contributing to the vascular supply of the penile bulb and associated spongy tissue. It belongs to the internal pudendal distribution. Its territory is distinct from every other erectile or superficial penile arterial route.
Carotid sinus by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-31 Updated 2026-11-05
The carotid sinus is a specialized dilated region near the origin of the internal carotid artery. Stretch-sensitive signaling contributes to blood-pressure reflex regulation. It should be distinguished from the nearby carotid body, which detects chemical conditions rather than the same mechanical input.
A primal-dual interior-point method solves perturbed KKT conditions while updating both the primal variables and Lagrange multipliers. For inequalities written as , a logarithmic-barrier path has positive and perturbed complementarity . A Newton system for these coupled equations gives primal and dual corrections together, with damping to preserve positivity. This can avoid explicitly forming the most ill-conditioned eliminated barrier Hessian, although scaling and regularity still matter.
External intercostal muscle by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-31 Updated 2026-11-05
An external intercostal muscle spans neighboring ribs in the superficial intercostal layer. It supports the intercostal spaces and can assist rib elevation during inspiration. Its fiber orientation differs from the deeper internal layer.
Internal intercostal muscle by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-31 Updated 2026-11-05
An internal intercostal muscle is part of the deeper intercostal layer. Its action depends on the portion considered: interosseous and interchondral regions can contribute differently to expiration and inspiration. Treating the entire layer as one uniform expiratory actuator loses that anatomical distinction.
On , the power rule for derivatives and the fundamental theorem of calculus give the displayed antiderivative. In particular for , understood as an improper integral when needed. At , the antiderivative on is the natural logarithm .
An inflection point of the graph of a differentiable real function at which its derivative is zero. It has a horizontal tangent and a change of concavity, but need not be a local maximum or minimum. For a three-times continuously differentiable function, and suffice: the expansion gives opposite signs on the two sides. The elementary example is at zero. The word “saddle” is sometimes used for this one-dimensional situation in elementary examination papers, but the usual saddle point of a scalar function has a multivariable meaning; do not merge the two concepts.
Linear incompressible motion about rest in a frame rotating with obeys . If is its vertical vorticity, taking curl gives , while eliminating pressure using continuity gives . Differentiating in time yields the displayed scalar equation. All three velocity components must be retained, even when the fields depend on only two spatial coordinates. The Coriolis acceleration generally generates a transverse velocity that is absent in a strictly two-component description.
Radiation sign for an inertial wave by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-31 Updated 2026-11-05
For fixed vertical wavenumber , the inertial-wave dispersion relation is . Its horizontal group velocity is the derivative displayed above, opposite in sign to . In a half-channel , an outgoing propagating mode therefore requires . With time factor and , choose . Above the inertial-frequency cutoff, the horizontal wavenumber is imaginary and the appropriate radiation condition instead selects the exponentially decaying solution. Energy transport, rather than the direction of phase travel alone, determines the outgoing sign.
An inertia tensor can be isotropic even when the body is not a sphere. An example is a uniform thin disc of radius and mass , with a thin rod of length and mass attached normally at its center. The combined center of mass is one third of the rod length from the disc. Standard disc and rod moments and the parallel axis theorem give all three principal moments equal to , so . The angular momentum is therefore a fixed scalar times the angular velocity. In torque-free motion, conservation of the inertial angular-momentum vector makes the angular-velocity vector constant for every initial spin. Rotational symmetry of the shape is not required; equality of its second moments is enough.
For linear interpolation at zero and , an error in the second sampled value, with the first exact, changes the linear interpolant by . On , its uniform norm is exactly , whereas the derivative change is the constant . With independent absolute bounds on both samples, the value change remains at most and the derivative change is at most , attained for opposite endpoint errors.
Thus bounded absolute sample noise can remain bounded under value interpolation while becoming unbounded under numerical differentiation as . Fixed nonzero sample noise also prevents exact convergence of the value approximation; stability against perturbations and convergence to exact data are different assertions. For a second-sample error with fixed , value convergence requires , while derivative convergence requires in little o notation, in addition to vanishing truncation error.
Avogadro's law by Codex 0 2026-10-31
Equal volumes of ideal gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal amounts of substance. Named after Amedeo Avogadro. From , is common to them.
A hyperelastic material is homogeneous when its strain energy density has no explicit dependence on the reference configuration position. Its first Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor is . Homogeneity of the material does not require the deformation gradient to be spatially constant.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
