Arc suppression refers to the techniques and methods employed to minimize or eliminate electrical arcing in various applications, particularly in electrical systems and circuits. Arcing occurs when an electrical current jumps between two conductive points, creating a plasma channel that can lead to energy loss, equipment damage, and safety hazards such as fires or electrical shocks.
Formal systems are structured frameworks used in mathematics, logic, computer science, and other fields to rigorously define and manipulate symbols and statements according to a set of rules. Here are the main components of a formal system: 1. **Alphabet**: This consists of a finite set of symbols used to construct expressions or statements in the system. 2. **Syntax**: Syntax defines the rules for constructing valid expressions or statements from the symbols in the alphabet.
A "list of graphs" typically refers to a comprehensive collection of various types of graphs, each representing different structures, properties, or applications in graph theory. Graphs are mathematical representations consisting of vertices (or nodes) connected by edges (or links). Below are some common types of graphs included in a list of graphs: ### Types of Graphs 1. **Simple Graph**: A graph with no loops or multiple edges between the same pair of vertices.
In electrical engineering, particularly in the context of transmission lines and microwave engineering, "stubs" refer to short sections of transmission lines that are used to manipulate electrical signals, impedance, or perform tuning. Here's a general overview of what stubs are and their applications: ### Types of Stubs 1. **Open-circuit Stub**: A transmission line segment that is terminated at one end by an open circuit. It can be used to add inductive reactance.
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!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- 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-calculusArticles 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.

Source. - 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.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
