Azerbaijani medical physicists are professionals in Azerbaijan who apply the principles and techniques of physics to the field of medicine, particularly in the areas of diagnosis and treatment of diseases, especially cancer treatment through radiation therapy. They work in healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, and research institutions, collaborating with doctors and other healthcare professionals to ensure the safe and effective use of medical imaging technologies, radiation therapy systems, and other diagnostic tools.
Health physicists are professionals who specialize in the study and management of radiation and its effects on human health and the environment. They work to protect individuals and the public from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation while allowing the beneficial uses of radiation in medicine, industry, and research. Key responsibilities of health physicists include: 1. **Radiation Safety**: Developing and implementing safety protocols and guidelines to protect workers, patients, and the public from excessive exposure to radiation.
Gravitational wave observatories are scientific facilities designed to detect and analyze gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime caused by accelerating massive objects, such as merging black holes or neutron stars. These observatories use highly sensitive technology to measure minute changes in distance, which occur when gravitational waves pass through the Earth.
A music copyist is a professional who specializes in preparing and formatting musical scores for publication or performance. Their work involves taking handwritten or digitally composed music and creating clear, accurate, and visually appealing sheet music. Music copyists use music notation software to ensure that the scores meet industry standards for readability and alignment with performance practices. Key responsibilities of a music copyist may include: 1. **Transcription**: Converting handwritten music or recordings into digital formats.
Rail transport modellers are individuals or hobbyists who create miniature representations of rail transport systems, including trains, tracks, scenery, and other related elements. This hobby can encompass a wide range of activities, including building model trains, designing and constructing model railway layouts, and sometimes even simulating rail operations.
Note values in music refer to the duration of notes, indicating how long a specific note should be held relative to other notes. Each note value corresponds to a specific symbol and has a characteristic length of time. The most common note values include: 1. **Whole Note (Semibreve)**: Typically represented by an open oval shape without a stem, it lasts for four beats in common time.
Percussion notation is a system used to represent music specifically for percussion instruments in written form. Unlike melodic instruments that typically use a five-line staff with traditional note heads to indicate pitch, percussion notation has its own conventions, as many percussion instruments may not produce definite pitches, or the pitches can be variable. Here are some key features of percussion notation: 1. **Staff System**: Percussion music can be written on a combination of standard and modified staff lines.
Sacred Harp is a tradition of American Protestant sacred music that originated in the early 19th century, particularly in the Southern United States. It is characterized by its unique shape-note singing system, which uses a distinctive four-shape notation to represent different musical pitches. The shapes correspond to the syllables of the solfège system (fa, sol, la, and mi), making it easier for singers to read music, especially in community singing contexts.
ACIGA stands for the Australian Capital Territory Insurance and Gaming Authority. It is a regulatory body responsible for overseeing the insurance and gaming sectors in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). ACIGA's primary objectives include ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations, protecting consumers, and promoting fair and responsible practices within these industries. The authority plays a crucial role in licensing, monitoring, and enforcing standards to maintain the integrity of insurance and gaming activities in the region.
Chirp mass is a concept used in astrophysics, particularly in the study of binary systems of compact objects like black holes or neutron stars. It is a parameter that combines the masses of the two objects in the binary system into a single value that characterizes the gravitational waves emitted as the two objects spiral towards one another and eventually merge.
Gravitational wave background refers to a stochastic (random) background of gravitational waves generated by many independent astrophysical sources, rather than the direct signal from a single event, such as the collision of two compact objects (like neutron stars or black holes) which are typically studied in gravitational wave astronomy.

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.

    You can publish local OurBigBook lightweight markup files to either https://OurBigBook.com or as a static website
