Sunlight is the natural light emitted by the Sun. It is composed of a range of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet (UV) light, and infrared radiation. Sunlight travels from the Sun to the Earth through space, and it plays a crucial role in various processes that sustain life on our planet.
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there is no widely recognized technology, product, or concept known as "Qoscos Grid." It’s possible that it refers to a specific company, product, or initiative that emerged after my last update, or it might be a specialized term within a niche area that hasn't gained broader recognition.
Supersonic transport refers to aircraft capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, which is approximately 343 meters per second (1,125 feet per second) at sea level in dry air at 20°C (68°F). This speed is commonly referred to as Mach 1. Aircraft designed for supersonic transport are typically characterized by their aerodynamic shapes, powerful engines, and specialized design features to handle the challenges associated with flying at such high speeds.
The Sud Aviation Super-Caravelle is a French twin-engine jet airliner that was developed in the 1960s. It is an extended version of the earlier Sud Aviation Caravelle, which was one of the first jets designed specifically for short and medium-haul passenger flights. The Super-Caravelle featured improvements in range, capacity, and performance compared to its predecessor.
The sea surface microlayer (SML) is the thin layer of water that resides at the air-sea interface, typically extending from the ocean surface down to about 1 millimeter (up to several millimeters in some cases). This layer is characterized by distinct physical, chemical, and biological properties when compared to the underlying water column.
Georg Friedrich Brander (often mentioned as Georg Friedrich Brander von Stennberg) was a notable figure in the context of 18th-century German literature and philosophy, though he is not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries. He lived during a time when Enlightenment ideas were prominent in Europe, which influenced various fields including literature, science, and politics.
A military sketching board, also known as a sketching or drawing board, is a portable surface used by military personnel, especially in field operations, to create maps, diagrams, and other visual representations. These boards are typically designed to be lightweight and durable for easy transport and use in various environments. Key features often include: 1. **Flexibility:** They can accommodate different types of media, such as pencils, markers, or even digital devices depending on the design.
Censoring is a concept in statistics typically associated with survival analysis and reliability engineering. It occurs when the value of a variable is only partially known due to limitations in observation or data collection. This often arises in time-to-event analysis, such as in medical studies where the time until an event (like death, failure, or remission) is of interest, but some individuals do not experience the event during the study period.
A bicycle, commonly referred to as a bike, is a human-powered vehicle that consists of two wheels attached to a frame. Typically, it is propelled by the rider's legs pedaling and is designed primarily for transportation, recreation, and exercise. Bicycles come in various types, including: 1. **Road bikes**: Lightweight bikes designed for speed on paved roads. 2. **Mountain bikes**: Sturdier bikes designed for off-road cycling on rough terrains.
The Brooks–Iyengar algorithm is a method used in the field of computer graphics, particularly for rendering scenes and managing visibility in 3D environments. It is specifically designed for the sorting of polygonal meshes, which is a common task in rendering 3D graphics to ensure correct visibility and depth rendering. The algorithm works by leveraging spatial data structures and uses a combination of techniques to efficiently determine the order in which polygons should be rendered.
The term "Deep Social Mind" does not have a widely recognized or established definition within academia or popular discourse as of my last update in October 2023. It may refer to a concept that combines elements of social psychology and deep learning, or it could be a specific framework or model proposed by a particular author or researcher.
An endergonic reaction is a type of chemical reaction that requires an input of energy to proceed. In these reactions, the free energy of the products is greater than the free energy of the reactants, which means that the overall change in free energy (ΔG) is positive. This characteristic indicates that the reaction is not spontaneous; it won't occur without an external source of energy. Endergonic reactions are common in biological systems.
Thomas Edison National Historical Park is a United States national park located in West Orange, New Jersey, that commemorates the life and work of inventor Thomas Edison. Established to preserve Edison's legacy and his contributions to science and technology, the park includes the Edison Laboratory, where many of his most significant inventions were developed, as well as his home, Glenmont. The park features various exhibits that showcase Edison's innovative work, including developments in electric light, sound recording, and motion pictures.
King tide refers to the exceptionally high tides that occur when the gravitational pull of the moon and sun is particularly strong, usually due to their alignment with the Earth. These tides happen during specific phases of the lunar cycle, particularly during full moons and new moons, when the Earth, moon, and sun are in line. King tides can result in higher-than-normal sea levels, which can lead to coastal flooding and erosion in some areas.
Non-exhaust emissions refer to pollutants released into the environment that are not a result of fuel combustion but arise from other processes related to the use of vehicles, particularly those with internal combustion engines. These emissions can be attributed to a variety of sources, including: 1. **Tire Wear**: As tires wear down, tiny particles are released into the air. These particles can contribute to particulate matter pollution.
Gravity-vacuum transit (GVT) is a proposed transportation system that combines elements of gravitational forces and vacuum technology to create efficient, high-speed travel over long distances. The concept is often associated with proposals for advanced public transportation systems that use magnetic levitation with low air resistance to facilitate rapid transit.
Multiphase heat transfer refers to the process of heat exchange occurring between different phases of matter, typically involving solid, liquid, and gas phases. This phenomenon is critical in various engineering applications, including power generation, chemical processing, refrigeration, and environmental systems. There are several key aspects of multiphase heat transfer: 1. **Phases Involved**: Commonly considered phases include: - Gas (e.g., steam or air) - Liquid (e.g.
"Transport Phenomena" is a well-known textbook written by R. W. McCabe, J. C. Smith, and Peter Harriott, first published in 1960. This book is widely used in chemical engineering and related fields to explain the fundamental principles of transport phenomena, which include the mechanisms of momentum, heat, and mass transfer.
Crashworthiness refers to the ability of a vehicle to protect its occupants during an impact. It encompasses the design, engineering, and material choices that contribute to how well a vehicle can withstand a crash and minimize injuries to passengers. Key aspects of crashworthiness include: 1. **Structural Integrity**: The vehicle's frame and body should be designed to absorb and dissipate energy during a collision, thereby protecting the occupants.
In the context of travel, "transfer" typically refers to the transportation services that move passengers from one location to another, often as part of a travel itinerary. This can include various types of ground transportation between airports, hotels, train stations, and other destinations. Common types of transfers in travel include: 1. **Airport Transfers**: Services that transport travelers between airports and their accommodation (hotels, rental properties, etc.).

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.
