An accessory lobe of placental tissue separate from the main placental disc and connected through vessels in the membranes. Its physical separation matters when assessing completeness of placental delivery.
A bismuth preparation is a medicinal formulation containing a specified bismuth compound. Different salts have different solubility and chemical behavior. The element name alone therefore does not define the formulation or its pharmacological properties.
Historical aqueous ethanol of specified proof strength; it is not synonymous with rectified spirit.
Spiritus Myristicae is an alcoholic aromatic preparation associated with nutmeg. The spirit is a solvent-based preparation, distinct from intact seed material.[ref]
The Essentials of Materia Medica and Therapeutics by Alfred Baring Garrod (1865). Spiritus Myristicae, named preparation in the corresponding monograph
A mucilage is a hydrated, viscous material rich in water-binding polysaccharides. In a pharmaceutical preparation it can influence suspension, coating and flow. Its physical function depends on composition and concentration rather than on a single universal molecule.
Ammonium acetate solution is an aqueous pharmaceutical preparation containing the ammonium salt of acetic acid. Its name specifies the principal solute but not, by itself, a concentration. Composition and strength must therefore be distinguished.
Cinnamon water is an aqueous aromatic preparation containing constituents from cinnamon. It differs from cinnamon oil in concentration and physical composition. Historical pharmaceutical specifications must be read in the edition in which they were defined.
For , a genuine two-cycle obeys with . Subtracting its two component equations gives , then substitution gives the displayed factorization. Cancelling loses the antipodal cycle , present for every . The nonzero-sum family instead has and , requiring . Retaining all vanishing factors is essential in polynomial cycle classification.
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!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- 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-calculusArticles 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.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.

- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
