Solid film lubricant 1970-01-01
Solid film lubricants are materials applied as a thin layer to reduce friction between surfaces in relative motion while providing a barrier to wear and corrosion. Unlike traditional lubricants, such as oils or greases, solid film lubricants remain effective under a wide range of temperatures and pressures and do not require reapplication during service. They are especially useful in extreme environments, such as high temperatures, vacuum conditions, or where liquid lubricants would be ineffective.
Backpropagation 1970-01-01
Backpropagation is an algorithm used for training artificial neural networks. It is a supervised learning technique that helps adjust the weights of the network to minimize the difference between the predicted outputs and the actual target outputs. The term "backpropagation" is short for "backward propagation of errors," signifying its two-step process: forward pass and backward pass.
Theory of pure equality 1970-01-01
The term "theory of pure equality" is not widely recognized in academic discourse, and its meaning can vary depending on context. However, it generally pertains to philosophical, political, or economic discussions about the concept of equality among individuals or groups. Here are a few interpretations of what a "theory of pure equality" might refer to: 1. **Philosophical Equality**: This could relate to the philosophical notion that all individuals have the same inherent value and rights.
Coloratura 1970-01-01
Coloratura refers to a style of vocal music that is characterized by elaborate ornamentation and intricate vocal runs, often showcasing a singer's technical skill and agility. The term also describes specific types of soprano voices that are capable of executing these complex passages. In classical music, particularly in opera, coloratura parts are often written for female singers, especially sopranos, allowing them to demonstrate their vocal dexterity through rapid scales, arpeggios, trills, and other embellishments.
Division (music) 1970-01-01
In music, "division" refers to a technique often used in the context of vocal and instrumental performance, particularly in Renaissance and Baroque music. It involves the practice of elaborating or embellishing a melody by adding additional notes or ornamentation. This can include runs, trills, turns, and other flourishes that enhance the original melodic line without fundamentally changing its structure.
HCN3 1970-01-01
HCN3 refers to one of the subtypes of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) ion channels, which are primarily responsible for generating the "pacemaker" currents in various cells, especially in the heart and brain. These channels are activated by hyperpolarization and are modulated by cyclic nucleotides such as cAMP and cGMP.
KCNK9 1970-01-01
KCNK9, also known as "potassium channel sodium-activated 9," is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the potassium channel family. This family of proteins is involved in the regulation of potassium ion flow across cell membranes, which is crucial for various physiological processes, including maintaining the resting membrane potential, shaping action potentials, and regulating cellular excitability.
ISO 31-1 1970-01-01
ISO 31-1 is an international standard that pertains to the nomenclature and symbols used in the field of physics. Specifically, ISO 31-1 provides guidelines for the representation of physical quantities and the symbols that are used to express them. This standard is part of a larger series, ISO 31, which covers various aspects of physical measurements and related concepts. ISO 31-1 is focused on the general principles and definitions applicable to physical quantities and their units.
Radon-222 1970-01-01
Radon-222 (Rn-222) is a radioactive isotope of radon, a noble gas that occurs naturally in the environment as a decay product of uranium and thorium. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it undetectable without specialized equipment. Radon-222 has a half-life of about 3.8 days, meaning that it decays relatively quickly compared to some other radioactive isotopes.
Haidbauer incident 1970-01-01
The Haidbauer incident refers to an event involving the German politician Thomas Haidbauer, who was associated with the political party The Left (Die Linke) in Germany. In 2021, he faced criticism and backlash for a controversial statement he made during a public speech, in which he allegedly downplayed the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and criticized government measures aimed at controlling its spread.
GABRR3 1970-01-01
GABRR3 refers to the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit rho 3. It is part of the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptor family, specifically belonging to the GABA receptor superfamily, which plays a crucial role in the central nervous system.
