A Wiggers diagram is a graphical representation of the cardiac cycle, illustrating the relationship between various physiological parameters during one complete heartbeat. Named after the physiologist Carl J. Wiggers, the diagram is particularly useful for understanding how the electrical events of the heart (represented by the electrocardiogram, or ECG) correlate with mechanical events (like heart muscle contractions), as well as blood pressures in different chambers of the heart and vascular system.
A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. This sharing allows each atom to attain the electron configuration of a noble gas, resulting in greater stability for the bonded atoms. Covalent bonds typically form between nonmetal atoms, where the difference in electronegativity is not significant enough to create ionic bonds. In a covalent bond, each shared pair of electrons constitutes one bond: - A single bond involves one pair of shared electrons (e.
A peptide bond is a type of covalent bond that forms between two amino acids during protein synthesis. This bond occurs when the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of another, releasing a molecule of water (this process is known as a dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction). Once formed, the peptide bond creates a dipeptide, and as more amino acids join in the same fashion, polypeptides and proteins are formed.
The Embedded Atom Model (EAM) is a computational model used to describe the interatomic interactions in metals and alloys. It is particularly effective for simulating the properties of metallic systems, including their structure, mechanical behavior, and thermodynamics. ### Key Features of the Embedded Atom Model: 1. **Embedding Function**: The EAM is based on the idea that the energy of an atom is not only determined by its nearest neighbors but also by how those neighbors are arranged.
Bitcoin RPC command by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
These are commands that e.g. the Bitcoin CLI client can make to the server.
The commands can be listed with:
bitcoin-core.cli help
and full help with:
bitcoin-core.cli help getrawtransaction
For example. to run the Bitcoin getrawtransaction command, first in one shell we start bitcoind:
bitcoin-core.daemon
and then on another shell:
bitcoin-core.cli getrawtransaction 75b431e0a8c4617ca8adefe593ba66aa30907742b6dc8772761bfe7edabd74b4 true
Ligand field theory (LFT) is a theoretical framework used in coordination chemistry to describe the electronic structure and properties of transition metal complexes. It builds upon and extends the concepts of crystal field theory (CFT), which focuses on the impact of surrounding ligands (molecules or ions that coordinate to a metal center) on the d-orbital energies of transition metals.
Molecular Orbital (MO) Theory is a fundamental theoretical framework in chemistry that describes the electronic structure of molecules by considering the combination of atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals. Unlike Valence Bond (VB) Theory, which emphasizes localized bonds between pairs of atoms, MO Theory provides a more delocalized view of electrons in a molecule.
In chemistry, a "radical" refers to an atom, molecule, or ion that has unpaired electrons. These unpaired electrons can make radicals highly reactive species because they tend to seek out other electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Radicals can be formed through various processes, including chemical reactions (e.g., homolytic bond cleavage), photochemical reactions (involving light), and thermal reactions (involving heat).
A sigma bond (σ bond) is a type of covalent bond that is formed when two atomic orbitals overlap directly along the axis connecting the two nuclei of the bonding atoms. This overlap allows for a strong bond due to the effective sharing of electrons between the atoms. Key characteristics of sigma bonds include: 1. **Formation**: Sigma bonds can form from the head-on overlap of different types of orbitals, such as s-s, s-p, or p-p orbitals.
In chemistry, "stacking" typically refers to a type of intermolecular interaction that occurs between aromatic compounds, where the planar structures of aromatic rings are aligned parallel to one another. This interaction is often discussed in the context of π-π (pi-pi) stacking, which is a significant factor in the stability and properties of molecular structures, including DNA bases, polymers, and various organic compounds. **Key Points:** 1.
A three-center four-electron bond is a type of chemical bonding that involves three atoms and shares four electrons among them. This bonding scenario is commonly found in certain molecular structures, particularly in electron-deficient systems or while describing certain types of stable intermediates. In a typical covalent bond, two atoms share a pair of electrons, forming a two-center two-electron bond. The three-center four-electron bond, however, is characterized by the sharing of electrons across three atomic centers.

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.
