Yttrium is a key ingredient in the yttrium barium copper oxide (YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7, aka 'YBCO' or '1-2-3') superconductor developed at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and the University of Houston in 1987. [49] This superconductor is notable because the operating superconductivity temperature is above liquid nitrogen's boiling point (77.1 K ...
The superconducting properties of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−x are sensitive to the value of x, its oxygen content. Only those materials with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.65 are superconducting below T c , and when x ~ 0.07 , the material superconducts at the highest temperature of 95 K , [ 6 ] or in highest magnetic fields: 120 T for B perpendicular and 250 T for B ...
The term "yBa" was already used in 1994 [8] and later used by Simon Ford in a feature "Myth Making" in March 1996 in Art Monthly magazine. [ 17 ] Art dealer Jay Jopling began to represent YBAs Jake & Dinos Chapman, Tracey Emin, Marcus Harvey , Damien Hirst, Gary Hume , Marc Quinn , Gavin Turk and Sam Taylor-Wood, whom he married in 1998.
Offal (/ ˈ ɒ f əl, ˈ ɔː f əl /), also called variety meats, pluck or organ meats, is the internal organs of a butchered animal. The word does not refer to a particular list of edible organs, and these lists of organs vary with culture and region, but usually exclude skeletal muscle .
Post-YBA artists include Tim Noble and Sue Webster, [1] Carey Young, [2] Oliver Payne and Nick Relph, [3] David Thorpe, [4] Eva Rothschild, [5] Mike Nelson, [6] Darren Almond, [7] and Jeremy Deller. According to Matthew Higgs , Simon Starling 's winning of the Turner Prize in 2005 reflected a post-YBA sensibility which is more modestly material ...

The Young Buddhist Association (YBA) is an auxiliary lay group of the Buddhist Churches of America, the mainland U.S. branch of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism. Founded in 1974 and originally known as the "Young Men's Buddhist Association" (YMBA, which was modeled after YMCA), the YBA began as a way to offer communal activities for young Japanese-American Shin Buddhist men in the United States.
