As with CIN, CAPE is usually expressed in J/kg but may also be expressed as m 2 /s 2, as the values are equivalent. In fact, CAPE is sometimes referred to as positive buoyant energy (PBE). This type of CAPE is the maximum energy available to an ascending parcel and to moist convection.
Instrumental in the establishment of U.S. patent law, Stevens procured many patents in early steamboat technology, operated the first steam ferry between New York and New Jersey, received the first railroad charter in the U.S., built a pioneer locomotive, and amassed a fortune, which allowed his sons to found the Stevens Institute of Technology.
The Laboratory for Elementary-Particle Physics (LEPP) is a high-energy physics laboratory studying fundamental particles and their interactions. The 768-meter Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) is in operation below the campus athletic fields. CESR is an electron-positron collider operating at a center-of-mass energy in the range of 3.5–12 GeV.
The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is a comprehensive one-volume reference resource for science research. First published in 1914, it is currently (as of 2024 [update] ) in its 105th edition, published in 2024.
The first AP Physics 1 classes had begun in the 2014–2015 school year, with the first AP exams administered in May 2015. In its first five years, AP Physics 1 covered forces and motion, conservation laws, waves, and electricity. [4] As of 2021, AP Physics 1 includes mechanics topics only. [5]
At the moment (2008), the focus areas are theoretical and mathematical physics (e.g. quantum field theory and string theory), astrophysics, elementary particle physics (e.g. they are involved in working with DESY and CERN experiments), nuclear physics, plasma physics, solid state physics, nanotechnologies, nuclear reactor technology ...
The Cape of Good Hope and Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of Africa. The Cape of Good Hope is not the southern tip of Africa, which is actually Cape Agulhas, about 150 kilometres (90 mi) to the east-southeast. [261] The majority of the Sahara consists of rocks, rather than sand. [262] [106] Rivers do not predominantly flow from north to south.
iThemba Laboratory for Accelerator Based Sciences (or iThemba LABS; Xhosa: iThemba, lit. 'Hope') is a scientific research centre with plants at Faure near Cape Town and on the Wits Campus in Johannesburg. The organisation has in the past been known as the National Accelerator Centre, and specialises in the use of particle accelerators.
