A little suspicious that it bears the name of Lorentz, who is famous for special relativity, isn't it? See: Maxwell's equations require special relativity.
Apoptosis by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
Power, Sex, Suicide by Nick Lane (2006) part 5 "Murder or suicide" mentions that apoptosis has two main functions:
In mathematics, an epigraph is a specific geometric construct associated with a real-valued function. For a function \( f: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R} \), the epigraph is defined as the set of points that lie on or above the graph of the function.
Complexification is a term that can refer to various concepts across different fields, often denoting the process of adding complexity to a system, concept, or phenomenon. Here are a few contexts in which "complexification" is commonly used: 1. **Systems Theory and Complexity Science**: In this context, complexification refers to the process by which systems evolve from simpler to more complex forms.
A vector space is a mathematical structure formed by a collection of vectors, which can be added together and multiplied by scalars. Here are some common examples of vector spaces: 1. **Euclidean Space (ℝⁿ)**: - The set of all n-tuples of real numbers.
Vehicle graveyards, often referred to as junkyards, scrap yards, or auto recyclers, are places where discarded, damaged, or end-of-life vehicles are collected and processed. These facilities serve several purposes: 1. **Scrap Metal Recovery**: Vehicle graveyards typically dismantle vehicles for parts and scrap metal. Valuable metals like steel, aluminum, and copper are extracted and sold to be recycled.
The eccentricity vector, often denoted as **e**, is a vector that describes the shape and orientation of an orbit in celestial mechanics. It is particularly relevant in the context of conic sections, which are used to describe orbits of celestial bodies (like planets, comets, and satellites) around other massive bodies.
A vector space (or linear space) is a fundamental concept in mathematics, particularly in linear algebra. It consists of a collection of objects called vectors, which can be added together and multiplied by scalars (numbers). These operations must satisfy certain properties.
Conservation and restoration of vehicles refers to the practices aimed at preserving, repairing, and improving vehicles, particularly classic or vintage cars, motorcycles, and other forms of motorized transportation. These practices are important for maintaining the historical value and integrity of vehicles, as well as ensuring they remain functional for enjoyment and use. ### Conservation Conservation focuses on preserving a vehicle in its original condition as much as possible.

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
