Shock tube 1970-01-01
A shock tube is a device used primarily in experimental fluid dynamics and shock wave research to study the behavior of gases under shock wave conditions. It consists of a long, narrow tube divided into two segments by a diaphragm. One segment (the driver section) is filled with a high-pressure gas, while the other segment (the driven section) is filled with a low-pressure gas.
Shogi castles 1970-01-01
In Shogi, which is a Japanese variant of chess, "castles" refer to specific arrangements of pieces that provide defensive structures for the king. These formations are crucial for protecting the king from attacks and can vary in complexity and style. Each castle has its unique characteristics and strengths, depending on how pieces are arranged. Some common Shogi castles include: 1. **Mitsunari Castle (三段金)**: A simple and popular formation that offers solid protection for the king.

Georgii Polozii is a Ukrainian mathematician known for his contributions to the field of mathematical analysis and applied mathematics. His work often involves topics such as differential equations, mathematical modeling, and numerical analysis.
Bow shock (aerodynamics) 1970-01-01
Bow shock is a phenomenon that occurs in aerodynamics when an object moves through a fluid (usually air) at a speed that exceeds the speed of sound in that medium, which is referred to as supersonic speed. When an object, such as an aircraft, travels faster than the speed of sound, it generates a shock wave due to the compressibility of the fluid.
Hail cannon 1970-01-01
A hail cannon is a device that is claimed to prevent or reduce hail damage to crops by creating shock waves that disrupt the formation of hailstones in the atmosphere. The theory behind the hail cannon is that by generating loud sounds or explosive shock waves, the device can interfere with the conditions necessary for hail formation. Hail cannons typically consist of a large metal tube that is fired using an explosive charge or similar mechanism to create a loud noise.
Vasicek model 1970-01-01
The Vasicek model is a popular mathematical model used in finance and economics to describe the dynamics of interest rates, as well as asset prices. Developed by Oldrich Vasicek in 1977, the model is particularly noted for its ability to capture the mean-reverting behavior of interest rates, which is a common characteristic observed in real-world financial markets. ### Key Features of the Vasicek Model 1.
Train shunting puzzle 1970-01-01
The Train Shunting Puzzle is a type of logic puzzle that involves arranging and sorting a set of train cars on a track. The objective is typically to arrange the cars in a specific order while adhering to specific movement rules. This puzzle often takes the form of a diagram or a physical model where players can manipulate the train cars. Here are some key elements of the Train Shunting Puzzle: 1. **Train Cars**: The puzzle features multiple train cars, which are often distinguished by colors or numbers.
Luminous intensity 1970-01-01
Luminous intensity is a measure of the amount of light emitted from a source in a particular direction per unit solid angle. It is a fundamental concept in photometry, which is the science of measuring visible light as perceived by the human eye. The unit of luminous intensity in the International System of Units (SI) is the candela (cd).
SIAM Journal on Computing 1970-01-01
The SIAM Journal on Computing (SICOMP) is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).

The SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (SISC) is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). It focuses on the development and analysis of numerical algorithms and computational methods for solving scientific and engineering problems.
Audio leveler 1970-01-01
An audio leveler, often referred to as a leveler or automated leveler, is an audio processing tool or software feature that adjusts the gain of an audio signal to maintain a consistent volume level throughout a recording. This is particularly useful in scenarios such as music production, broadcasting, and podcasting, where varying volume levels can be distracting or unprofessional.
Audio signal processing 1970-01-01
Audio signal processing refers to the manipulation and analysis of audio signals—represented as waveforms or digital data—to enhance, modify, or extract information from audio content. This field combines techniques from engineering, mathematics, and computer science to process sound for various applications. Key aspects of audio signal processing include: 1. **Sound Representation**: Audio signals can be continuous (analog) or discrete (digital).
Chirp 1970-01-01
"Chirp" can refer to several different things depending on the context: 1. **Sound**: Chirp typically refers to the short, quick sounds made by small birds and insects, particularly crickets. It's a common term in the context of nature and wildlife. 2. **Technology**: In technology, "Chirp" may refer to a communication protocol or application that uses sound to transmit data between devices.
Max Gut 1970-01-01
Chen model 1970-01-01
The Chen model often refers to a specific framework or model in finance and economics developed by Xiangyu Chen and his colleagues, primarily used to analyze the implications of various factors on asset pricing, performance measurement, and risk assessment. It typically focuses on the interplay between macroeconomic variables, investor behavior, and asset returns.
Cox–Ingersoll–Ross model 1970-01-01
The Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) model is a mathematical model used to describe the dynamics of interest rates. It is part of the class of affine term structure models and is particularly known for its ability to capture the behavior of interest rates in a way that ensures non-negative rates. The CIR model was introduced by economists David Cox, Jonathan Ingersoll, and Stephen Ross in the early 1980s.

Named after its creators, John Hull and Alan White, the model is particularly useful for pricing interest rate derivatives and managing interest rate risk. ### Key Features of the Hull-White Model: 1. **Single Factor Model**: The original Hull-White model is a single-factor model, meaning it relies on one state variable to describe the dynamics of interest rates.
Transfer functions 1970-01-01
Transfer functions are mathematical representations used in control systems and signal processing to describe the relationship between the input and output of a linear time-invariant (LTI) system. They provide a way to analyze the dynamic behavior of systems in the frequency domain. ### Definition: The transfer function \( H(s) \) of a system is defined as the Laplace transform of its impulse response.
