In Wikipedia terminology, a "stub" is a short or incomplete article that provides minimal information on a subject and serves as a starting point for further expansion. A "physical chemistry stub" would refer specifically to an entry related to physical chemistry that lacks comprehensive coverage of the topic. Physical chemistry itself is a branch of chemistry that deals with the physical properties and behavior of chemical systems and their components.
"Physics book stubs" typically refer to short articles or entries about specific physics books on platforms like Wikipedia. These stubs provide minimal information and often require expansion to include more details such as a summary of the book's content, its significance, authorship, and critical reception. The term "stub" is used in online encyclopedias to denote entries that are incomplete or not fully developed.
Nuclear physics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of atomic nuclei, their constituents (protons and neutrons), and the interactions that occur between them. It encompasses a variety of topics, including: 1. **Structure of the Nucleus**: Understanding the arrangement of protons and neutrons within an atomic nucleus, including models that describe nuclear stability and the forces that hold the nucleus together (strong nuclear force).
Plasma physics is the study of plasma, which is one of the four fundamental states of matter, alongside solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma is a collection of charged particles, including ions and electrons, that are not bound together, allowing it to conduct electricity and respond to electromagnetic fields. Because of these properties, plasma is sometimes referred to as an ionized gas.
"Lion Attacking a Dromedary" refers to a famous painting by the French artist Antoine-Louis Barye, created in the 19th century. Barye was known for his animal sculptures and paintings, and this particular work depicts the dramatic moment of a lion attacking a dromedary (a one-humped camel). The painting is noted for its dynamic composition and the vivid depiction of the struggle between the powerful predator and its prey.
"Quantum physics stubs" typically refers to short, incomplete articles or entries related to quantum physics that are part of a larger database or collection, often seen in online encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia. These stubs provide basic information but are recognized as needing more detailed content, references, or expansion. The stub can cover various topics within quantum physics, such as key concepts, fundamental theories, notable experiments, or important physicists in the field.
"Relativity stubs" typically refer to a concept in programming or software development, specifically within the context of the "Relativity" application or framework, often associated with legal and e-discovery processes. However, in more common contexts, the term might not have a widely recognized or established definition. In general, a "stub" is a piece of code used to stand in for some other programming functionality.
In the context of Wikipedia, a "stub" is a term used to describe a short or incomplete article that provides only basic information on a particular topic. Theoretical physics stubs would refer to Wikipedia articles related to theoretical physics that are still in a preliminary state and need further expansion and detail. These stubs might cover specific theories, concepts, or areas of research within theoretical physics but lack comprehensive coverage or depth.
Bayshore Resilience refers to initiatives and projects aimed at enhancing the resilience of coastal areas, particularly in regions vulnerable to climate change, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events. This term may often be used in the context of specific geographic areas, community planning, or environmental management efforts focused on protecting shorelines, ecosystems, and human infrastructure.
The Beard and Chuang model refers to a theoretical framework used in economics, particularly in the field of labor economics and labor market equilibrium. The model was developed by economists Beard and Chuang to analyze the dynamics of employment and wage determination, often with a focus on the effects of various policies on labor markets.
The Coherent Potential Approximation (CPA) is a theoretical framework used in condensed matter physics to describe the properties of disordered materials, particularly systems with random disorder, such as alloy phases, where different types of atoms or ions occupy certain sites in a lattice. The main idea behind the CPA is to treat the disorder in the material in an averaged way.
Conventional superconductors are materials that exhibit superconductivity primarily due to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory, which explains the phenomenon in terms of electron pairs known as Cooper pairs. Here are some key features of conventional superconductors: 1. **BCS Theory**: Conventional superconductivity arises from the formation of Cooper pairs, where two electrons with opposite spins and momenta pair up due to an attractive interaction mediated by lattice vibrations or phonons.
Crest and trough are terms commonly used to describe specific points in a wave, particularly in the context of physics, engineering, and various fields of wave dynamics. 1. **Crest**: The crest is the highest point of a wave. In a sinusoidal wave, it represents the maximum displacement of the wave from its rest position (equilibrium). In visual terms, if you picture a wave, the crest is the top of the wave's peak.
Electron quadruplets refer to a specific arrangement or configuration of electrons within a quantum system, typically in the context of atomic or molecular physics. In general, electrons are arranged in various states characterized by their quantum numbers, and electrons can form pairs based on their spins, following the Pauli exclusion principle. In a more detailed sense, an **electron quadruplet** can be understood as a group of four electrons that can occupy certain quantum states under specific conditions.
The extinction paradox generally refers to the observation that despite the ongoing loss of species and biodiversity, there can be scenarios where certain aspects of ecosystems or groups of species do not show expected declines in abundance or ecological function. This can lead to a disconnect between the apparent health of ecosystems and the reality of ongoing species losses. One interpretation of the extinction paradox is that some ecological processes may continue to function adequately even as specific species go extinct. For example, ecosystems often have redundancy, where multiple species perform similar roles.
A first-order fluid, also known as a Newtonian fluid, is a type of fluid that adheres to Newton's law of viscosity. This means that the fluid's shear stress is directly proportional to the shear rate (or velocity gradient) at a given temperature and pressure. Mathematically, this relationship is represented as: \[ \tau = \mu \frac{du}{dy} \] Where: - \(\tau\) is the shear stress.
Fuel mass fraction is a term commonly used in aerospace engineering, propulsion, and combustion systems. It refers to the ratio of the mass of the fuel to the total mass of the propellant or fuel mixture being considered. This fraction is significant in the context of rocket propulsion, jet engines, and other systems where fuel efficiency and performance are critical.
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.
