Turing machines, first described by Alan Turing in Turing 1936–7, are simple abstract computational devices intended to help investigate the extent and limitations of what can be computed. Turing's 'automatic machines', as he termed them in 1936, were specifically devised for the computing of real numbers.

The air in the exosphere is very thin, and is made up mostly of helium, and hydrogen. Traces of other gases such as atomic oxygen and carbon dioxide can also be found. The upper level of the exosphere is the farthest point from earth that is still affected by earth's gravity.

The history of technology begins even before the beginning of our own species. Sharp flakes of stone used as knives and larger unshaped stones used as hammers and anvils have been uncovered at Lake Turkana in Kenya.

Cross section (denoted by sigma) measures the number of scattered events in 2-particle collisions.

Differential cross section is given by the formula below, (here M is the invariant amplitude of a specified quantum process).

A series can be represented in a compact form, called summation or sigma notation. The Greek capital letter, ∑


∑ , is used to represent the sum.


The series 4+8+12+16+20+24


4+8+12+16+20+24 can be expressed as ∑n=164n . The expression is read as the sum of 4n as n goes from 1 to 6 . The variable n is called the index of summation


To generate the terms of a series given in sigma notation, successively replace the index of summation with consecutive integers from the first value to the last value of the index.

To generate the terms of the series given in sigma notation above, replace n by 1,2,3,4,5,  and  6


6

∑n=4n==4(1)+4(2)+4(3)+4(4)+4(5)+4(6)

n=1

=4+8+12+16+20+24

=84

Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire), or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The magma can be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust.

The main function of the mesosphere is forming turbulences and atmospheric waves that act at spatial and temporal scales of enormous size. This is the region in which spacecraft returning to Earth after a voyage, begin to observe the structures of the winds in the background.

Feynman diagrams are pictorial depiction of quantum interactions between particles. Each diagram corresponds to a probability amplitude of a given event depicted in the diagram.

iu_428102_779242.png

A neat fact is that mathematically, a particle moving forward in time (with 4 momentum p) is identical to the corresponding anti-particle moving backwards in time (with 4 momentum -p). Both Figure 8.9 and 8.10 depict the same scattering event.


P.S: Of course, you should not interpret backward-moving particles too literally. It is just a mathematical trick after all.

The most common cause of trisomy is a problem in the duplication of chromosomes to create egg and sperm cells. Somewhere along the way, a chromosome duplicates itself twice, creating a full pair. When the egg or sperm cell joins with its counterpart, the extra chromosome is taken along, creating a set of three where where should be two.

The pedosphere (from Greek πέδον pedon "ground" or "earth" and σφαῖρα sphaira "sphere") is the outermost layer of the Earth that is composed of soil and subject to soil formation processes. It exists at the interface of the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere.

For a long period of time, nature has been thought to observe the CP symmetry. C is short for "charge conjugation" and represents a flip in charge and P stands for "parity inversion" and represents a flip in spatial coordinates.

As a result of the postulated CP symmetry, both particles and anti-particles would obey the same physics.

However, the observed decay of neutral kaons proved that CP is not conserved in all processes.

There are several known sources of CP violation in the Standard Model. None of them can account for the relatively large asymmetry between matter and anti-matter in the early universe. (Matter would not have existed if both matter and anti-matter were present in equal amounts)

Pure water has a pH of 7, and, generally, rainfall is somewhat on the acidic side (a bit less than 6). But, acid rain can have a pH of about 5.0-5.5, and can even be in the 4 range in the northeastern United States, where there are a lot of industries and cars.

the molar mass of a chemical compound is defined as the mass of a sample of that compound divided by the amount of substance in that sample, measured in moles. The molar mass is a bulk, not molecular, property of a substance. The molar mass is an average of many instances of the compound, which often vary in mass due to the presence of isotopes

A plane's engines are designed to move it forward at high speed. That makes air flow rapidly over the wings, which throw the air down toward the ground, generating an upward force called lift that overcomes the plane's weight and holds it in the sky.The wings force the air downward and that pushes the plane upward.

Most fish breathe when water moves across their gills. But if the gills are damaged or water cannot move across them, the fish can suffocate. They don't technically drown, because they don't inhale the water, but they do die from a lack of oxygen. Fishing equipment, such as some types of hooks, can damage the gills.
