It is located in the Milky Way, specifically in the Orion constellation, and is situated about 1,344 light-years away from Earth. The Orion Nebula is a region of active star formation and contains a vast amount of gas and dust.
Perseus molecular cloud 1970-01-01
The Perseus Molecular Cloud is a large region of interstellar gas and dust located in the constellation Perseus. It is one of the nearby star-forming regions and is part of the larger Perseus region of the Milky Way. The cloud is significant for several reasons: 1. **Star Formation**: The Perseus Molecular Cloud contains numerous dense cores where star formation is actively occurring.
RCW 120 1970-01-01
As of my last update in October 2023, RCW 120 does not refer to a specific law or statute that is widely recognized. It is possible that "RCW" refers to the Revised Code of Washington, which is the compilation of all permanent laws in Washington State. The designation "120" could potentially refer to a specific section or chapter within that code.
RCW 36 1970-01-01
RCW 36 refers to the Revised Code of Washington, specifically Title 36, which deals with counties in the state of Washington. The code outlines various statutes governing the organization, powers, and functions of county governments. It includes provisions about county officers, funding, taxation, land use, and other matters relevant to county administration and operations.
RCW 38 1970-01-01
RCW 38 refers to a section of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) that pertains to military affairs and organization. Within this code, you can find laws and regulations governing the Washington National Guard, the Washington State Military Department, and related matters of military service and state defense. The RCW is a collection of laws that have been enacted by the Washington State Legislature, and RCW 38 specifically addresses issues related to the organization, administration, and duties of military forces within the state.
RCW 88 1970-01-01
RCW 88 refers to a specific chapter in the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), which is the compilation of all the permanent laws of the state of Washington. Chapter 88 specifically deals with “Navigable Waters” and covers regulations related to the use, management, and conservation of Washington's navigable waters and waterways, including licensing and operations related to vessels.
NGC 2070 1970-01-01
NGC 2070, also known as the Tarantula Nebula, is a large and vibrant region of star formation located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. It is one of the most active star-forming regions in our local group of galaxies and is notable for its high brightness and varying colors, primarily due to the presence of young, massive stars and their interaction with surrounding gas and dust.
NGC 2359 1970-01-01
NGC 2359 is a notable astronomical object located in the constellation Canis Major. It is often referred to as the "Duck Nebula" due to its resemblance to a duck's head and bill when viewed in images. NGC 2359 is a bright planetary nebula, which is a type of emission nebula formed by the ejection of material from a dying star.
Allelotype 1970-01-01
Allelotype is a genetic concept referring to the specific pattern of alleles (variant forms of a gene) present in an individual's genome, especially concerning the variation in alleles that are associated with certain traits or diseases. The term is often used in the context of genetic studies to analyze the distribution and inheritance of alleles among populations, and it can help in identifying genetic predispositions to certain conditions.
Omnigenic model 1970-01-01
The omnigenic model is a framework in genetics proposed to explain the genetic architecture of complex traits and diseases. Introduced by Benner et al. in 2019, this model suggests that virtually all genes contribute, to some extent, to the heritability of complex traits through a network of interactions and regulations, rather than a small number of "major" genes being responsible.
Population genetics 1970-01-01
Population genetics is a subfield of genetics that focuses on the distribution and change in frequency of alleles (gene variants) within populations. It combines principles from genetics, evolutionary biology, and ecology to understand how genetic variation is maintained, how populations evolve, and how evolutionary forces such as natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and gene flow affect the genetic structure of populations over time.
Ahlswede–Daykin inequality 1970-01-01
The Ahlswede–Daykin inequality is a result in information theory that relates to the concept of entropy and the joint distribution of random variables. It provides a connection between the joint entropy of a set of variables and the individual entropies of those variables, specifically in the context of entropy in multiple dimensions. To give a brief overview, let \( X \) and \( Y \) be two discrete random variables with joint distribution.
Arcsine laws (Wiener process) 1970-01-01
The arcsine law is a probability distribution that arises in the context of Brownian motion (or Wiener process). Specifically, it pertains to the distribution of the time at which a Brownian motion process spends a certain amount of time above or below a given level, typically the mean or a specific threshold.
BBGKY hierarchy 1970-01-01
The BBGKY hierarchy, named after Boris B. Bogoliubov, A. G. Beme, R. K. Grosse, and V. A. Kolesnikov, is a theoretical framework used in statistical mechanics and mathematical physics for describing the dynamics of a system of interacting particles. The hierarchy provides a set of coupled equations relating the correlation functions of different orders.
BIO-LGCA 1970-01-01
BIO-LGCA refers to a type of bio-based life cycle assessment (LCA) used for evaluating the environmental impacts of bio-based products and processes. Life cycle assessment is a systematic approach for assessing the environmental aspects and potential impacts associated with a product, process, or service throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction through production, use, and disposal.
Sh2-106 1970-01-01
Sh2-106, also known as Sharpless 106, is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is part of a larger region of star formation and is associated with a young, hot star at its center. The nebula is an example of a reflection nebula, where the light from nearby stars illuminates the surrounding gas and dust, creating a visually striking structure.
Sh2-155 1970-01-01
Sh2-155, also known as LBN 764 or the Drunken Dragon Nebula, is an HII region located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is named after the catalog it appears in, the Sharpless catalog, which is a catalog of hydrogen-alpha emission nebulae. Sh2-155 is notable for its distinctive shape that resembles a dragon or serpent, which has made it a popular target for astrophotographers and amateur astronomers.
