1977 Software is a company that focuses on creating software primarily for the retro gaming community. One of its notable products is a modern port of the classic game "Vanguard" from the 1980s. The company also develops and maintains software related to old operating systems and vintage computers, often catering to enthusiasts who have a fondness for retro technology.
Gas compressors are mechanical devices that increase the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. They are commonly used in various industries for a range of applications, including natural gas processing, refrigeration, air conditioning, and in the production and transportation of gases. ### How Gas Compressors Work: The primary function of a gas compressor is to intake gas at a certain pressure and temperature, compress it, and then discharge it at a higher pressure.
Anuška Ferligoj is a noted Slovene statistician and professor recognized for her contributions to the field of statistics, particularly in social science research methodology, survey methodology, and particularly in the context of multilevel modeling and psychometrics. She has been involved in academic research and has published numerous papers in her field. Furthermore, she has been influential in various professional organizations related to statistics and has played a role in promoting statistical education and research.
The Apple Tape Backup 40SC is a tape backup device that was designed for use with Macintosh computers, primarily in the late 1990s. It was part of the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) family of products and offered a way to back up data onto magnetic tape. The "40SC" in its name indicates its storage capacity and speed—specifically, it could back up data at a rate of 40 MB per minute.
Sensitivity analysis is a powerful tool used in business to evaluate how changes in certain input variables can affect the outcome of a model or decision. Here are several applications of sensitivity analysis in a business context: 1. **Financial Modeling**: Businesses use sensitivity analysis to understand how changes in key financial assumptions (e.g., sales volume, pricing, cost of goods sold) impact profitability, cash flow, and overall financial performance.
Applied Spectroscopy Reviews is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on the application of spectroscopic techniques in various fields. It publishes reviews on the latest developments, advancements, and applications of spectroscopy in areas such as chemistry, biology, materials science, and environmental science, among others. The journal aims to provide a platform for researchers to share detailed insights into how spectroscopic methods are being utilized to solve complex problems or advance knowledge in different disciplines.
"Area code stubs" typically refer to placeholder or incomplete entries related to telephone area codes in databases, software, or telecommunications systems. These stubs may indicate that information regarding a specific area code has not been fully populated or updated in a given context. In telecommunications, area codes are numerical prefixes that designate specific geographic regions for phone numbers.
Operon by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Sequence of genes under a single promoter. For an example, see E. Coli K-12 MG1655 operon thrLABC.
A single operon may produce multiple different transcription units depending on certain conditions, see: operon vs transcription unit.
Transcription unit by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
A sequence of mRNA that can actually be transcribed.
Multiple different transcription units can be produced by a single operon, see: operon vs transcription unit.
That single operon can produce two different mRNA transcription units:
The reason for this appears to be that there is a rho-independent termination region after thrL. But then under certain conditions, that must get innactivated, and then the thrLABC is produced instead.

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
