Nuclear interdisciplinary topics refer to areas of study that combine principles from various disciplines to understand and address issues related to nuclear science and technology. These topics often involve the intersection of fields such as physics, engineering, biology, environmental science, medicine, and policy, reflecting the complex and multifaceted nature of nuclear-related issues.

Original headquarters and laboratories: 463 West Street in New York, Manhattan area. On Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman Feynman mentions that in 1941 they could see the construction of the George Washington Bridge, presumably from that building, when William Shockley brought him over to visit to get a job there. However, the actual
The ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference, commonly referred to as SC, is an annual conference that focuses on high-performance computing (HPC), networking, storage, and analysis. It is jointly organized by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
The Actantial model is a narrative theory developed by the French literary theorist A.J. Greimas in the 1960s. It is a framework used to analyze the structure of narratives by identifying the roles of different characters or actants within a story. The model simplifies the characters into six fundamental actantial roles: 1. **Subject**: The protagonist or hero of the story who seeks to achieve a goal.
Actions per minute (APM) is a measure commonly used in gaming, particularly in real-time strategy (RTS) games and competitive video gaming, to quantify a player's speed and efficiency in executing actions during gameplay. It represents the number of individual actions a player can perform in one minute, including movements, commands, building units, and using abilities.

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
