Carromancy is a form of divination that involves the interpretation of the patterns made by tossing or scattering carrom seeds or similar small objects. The practice is typically associated with seeking answers or guidance by analyzing how the seeds land and form patterns, which are then interpreted by the practitioner. This form of divination can draw on symbolism, tradition, and intuition to provide insights into the question or situation at hand.

Vetigel is a product developed by the biotechnology company 3D Biotek, and it is designed to promote wound healing and stop bleeding in various medical contexts. It is a hydrogel made from plant-derived materials that can be applied to cuts, abrasions, surgical sites, and other wounds. The primary function of Vetigel is to quickly control bleeding by forming a gel-like barrier over the wound, which helps to stabilize blood clots and create an environment conducive to healing.
Water gel, often referred to as a hydrogel, is a gel-like substance that contains a significant amount of water—usually over 90% by weight—mixed with a polymer material. These gels can retain large amounts of water while maintaining a structure that resembles a solid, allowing them to take on various shapes and forms.
The Department of Geodesy at Gdańsk University of Technology (GUT), also known as the Gdańsk University of Technology, is an academic department specializing in geodesy, which is the scientific study of Earth's geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravitational field, as well as the mapping and surveying of the Earth's surface. The department typically focuses on areas such as satellite geodesy, surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS).
The Bavarian State Office for Survey and Geoinformation (Bayerisches Landesamt für Vermessung und Geoinformation, or BLVG) is a governmental agency in Bavaria, Germany, that is responsible for land surveying, geoinformation, and mapping services. Its primary functions include: 1. **Land Surveying**: Conducting surveys to determine property boundaries and maintaining the cadastral system, which records land ownership and property rights.
Geodesic deviation refers to the phenomenon in general relativity that describes how nearby geodesics—paths followed by free-falling particles—diverge or converge due to the curvature of spacetime. In a curved spacetime, even if an object starts out on a geodesic (which is the generalization of a straight line in curved space), the path of that object may not remain parallel to the path of a nearby object over time.
The Bureau des Longitudes, or the Bureau of Longitudes, was a French institution established in 1795, primarily focused on the determination of longitude at sea. Its creation was in response to the urgent need for accurate navigation methods, particularly in the wake of the challenges presented by maritime exploration and trade. The Bureau played a significant role in the development of astronomical techniques and instruments to improve navigation.

The Faculty of Geodesy at the University of Zagreb is a specialized educational and research institution in Croatia focused on geodesy, which is the science of measuring and understanding the Earth's geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravitational field. Established in 1772, the Faculty of Geodesy is one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the world.

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.
