    It was named for Roy Meadow, a discredited paediatrician prominent in the United Kingdom in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Mendel's laws are named for the 19th century Austrian monk Gregor Mendel who determined the patterns of inheritance through his plant breeding experiments, working especially with peas.

  3. Sources of electrical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_of_electrical_energy

    Friction is the least-used of the six methods of producing energy. If a cloth rubs against an object, the object will display an effect called friction electricity. The object becomes charged due to the rubbing process, and now possesses an static electrical charge, hence it is also called static electricity. There are two main types of ...

  4. Thin shrink small outline package - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_Shrink_Small_Outline...

    The Thin shrink small outline package has a smaller body and smaller lead pitch than the standard SOIC package. It is also smaller and thinner than a TSOP with the same lead count. Body widths are 3.0 mm, 4.4 mm and 6.1 mm. The lead counts range from 8 to 80 pins. The lead pitches are 0.5 or 0.65 mm.

  5. Direct energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_energy_conversion

    The conversion is based on a Traveling-Wave Direct Energy Converter (TWDEC). A gyrotron converter first guides fusion product ions as a beam into a 10-meter long microwave cavity filled with a 10-tesla magnetic field, where 155 MHz microwaves are generated and converted to a high voltage DC output through rectennas.

  6. Zinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc

    Zinc is refined by froth flotation of the ore, roasting, and final extraction using electricity (electrowinning). Zinc is an essential trace element for humans, [8] [9] [10] animals, [11] plants [12] and for microorganisms [13] and is necessary for prenatal and postnatal development. [14]

  8. Quarter (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_(unit)

    This quarter was a unit of 8 bushels of 8 gallons each, understood at the time as a measure of both weight and volume: the grain gallon or half-peck was composed of 76,800 grains weight; the ale gallon was composed of the ale filling an equivalent container; and the wine gallon was composed of the wine weighing an equivalent amount to a full ...

  9. Lichtenberg figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichtenberg_figure

    Using a higher applied voltage will generate larger-diameter and more branched figures. It is now known that positive Lichtenberg figures have longer, branching structures because long sparks within air can more easily form and propagate from positively charged high-voltage terminals.
