Breath gas analysis is a diagnostic technique that involves measuring and analyzing the composition of gases present in exhaled breath. This method is non-invasive and has gained interest in various fields, including medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and occupational health. ### Applications of Breath Gas Analysis: 1. **Medical Diagnostics**: - **Respiratory Diseases**: It can be used to detect diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung infections.
A "Boss Key" is a feature found in some software and applications, particularly games, that allows users to quickly hide or minimize their current window or application in order to disguise what they are doing.
Projectiles are objects that are propelled through the air or through a medium, typically under the influence of gravity. The term is commonly used in physics and engineering to refer to any object that is launched, thrown, or otherwise set into motion. Projectiles can include a wide range of items, from bullets and shells to sports balls and rockets. The motion of a projectile is typically analyzed using the principles of mechanics, particularly kinematics and dynamics.
Ballistic gelatin is a synthetic gelatinous material used primarily in the testing and evaluation of bullets and projectiles. It mimics the density and consistency of human tissue, allowing researchers, forensic scientists, and ammunition manufacturers to study how different projectiles behave upon impact with soft tissues. This is crucial for understanding penetration, expansion, and wound channel creation in ballistic impact scenarios. Ballistic gelatin is typically made from a mixture of gelatin powder and water, set into molds to create blocks or other shapes.
A bulletproof vest, also known as a ballistic vest, is a type of body armor designed to absorb and mitigate the impact of projectiles, such as bullets, and shrapnel from explosives. It is commonly used by law enforcement officers, military personnel, and security professionals to provide protection in combat or dangerous situations. Bulletproof vests are typically made from layers of high-strength fibers, such as Kevlar or Twaron, which are woven together to create a flexible, lightweight material.
Contraves Cora is a programmable medical device designed for the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) of diabetes patients. It helps users better manage their blood glucose levels by providing real-time data, alerts, and insights into their glucose levels, allowing for more informed decision-making regarding insulin and diet. The device is often part of a broader diabetes management system that includes insulin delivery devices, such as insulin pumps.
External ballistics is the branch of ballistics that deals with the behavior of a projectile in flight after it has exited the barrel of a firearm until it reaches its target. It focuses on the forces and factors that influence the projectile's trajectory, such as gravity, air resistance (drag), wind, and Coriolis effect.
Reactive empirical bond order (REBO) is a theoretical framework used in computational chemistry and molecular modeling to describe the nature of chemical bonds in a molecular system. REBO is particularly important in simulations that require an accurate representation of how atoms interact, especially in the context of covalent bonding and the formation or breaking of chemical bonds.
DNA-binding proteins are a type of protein that have the ability to bind to DNA molecules, typically influencing DNA structure, function, and regulation. These proteins play crucial roles in various biological processes, such as: 1. **Gene Regulation**: Many DNA-binding proteins, including transcription factors, can enhance or inhibit the transcription of specific genes by binding to promoter or enhancer regions.
Lipid bilayer fusion is a biological process in which two lipid bilayers merge to form a single, continuous bilayer. This phenomenon is crucial for many cellular processes, including membrane transport, signal transduction, and the fusion of vesicles with target membranes—such as during neurotransmitter release at synapses, hormone secretion, and viral entry into host cells. The process involves several steps: 1. **Approach**: Two lipid bilayers come into proximity.
Physical oncology is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from physics, oncology (the study and treatment of cancer), biomedical engineering, and other related sciences to better understand cancer and improve its treatment. The aim of physical oncology is to apply physical concepts and techniques to the challenges associated with cancer diagnosis, treatment, and research.
Tethered particle motion (TPM) is a biophysical technique used to study molecular interactions, conformational changes, and dynamics at the single-molecule level. In TPM experiments, a biomolecule (such as DNA, RNA, or a protein) is typically attached (or "tethered") to a surface via one end while the other end is labeled with a fluorescent particle, usually a microsphere or quantum dot.

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
