Anglo-Saxon metrical charms were sets of instructions generally written to magically resolve a situation or disease. Usually, these charms involve some sort of physical action, including making a medical potion, repeating a certain set of words, or writing a specific set of words on an object.
This type of emulsion is thermodynamically unstable, but can be stabilized for a period of time with applications of kinetic energy. [1] Surfactants (as the main emulsifiers) are used to reduce the interfacial tension between the two phases, and induce macroemulsion stability for a useful amount of time. Emulsions can be stabilized otherwise ...
A magical Aether-infused alloy found on Esper, one of the five shards of the plane of Alara. [38] Most of Esper's inhabitants have parts of their body replaced by etherium. [ 39 ] It is also used to craft artifacts like the Filigree texts, sacred texts worked in etherium containing the Vedalken's accumulated knowledge.
Materials science in science fiction is the study of how materials science is portrayed in works of science fiction.The accuracy of the materials science portrayed spans a wide range – sometimes it is an extrapolation of existing technology, sometimes it is a physically realistic portrayal of a far-out technology, and sometimes it is simply a plot device that looks scientific, but has no ...
Ringer's solution is named after Sydney Ringer, who in 1882–1885 determined that a solution perfusing a frog's heart must contain sodium, potassium and calcium salts in a definite proportion if the heart is to be kept beating for long.
(The more massive 209 Bi, long considered to be stable, actually has a half-life of 2.01×10 19 years.) 208 Pb is also a doubly magic isotope, as it has 82 protons and 126 neutrons. [6] It is the heaviest doubly magic nuclide known. A total of 43 lead isotopes are now known, including very unstable synthetic species.
Unstable takes place on Bablovia, a steampunk-inspired plane.It features five main factions, one for each allied color pairing: The Order of the Widget (white-blue), the Agents of S.N.E.A.K. (blue-black), the League of Dastardly Doom (black-red), the Goblin Explosioneers (red-green) and the Crossbreed Labs (green-white).
The Numerical Recipes books cover a range of topics that include both classical numerical analysis (interpolation, integration, linear algebra, differential equations, and so on), signal processing (Fourier methods, filtering), statistical treatment of data, and a few topics in machine learning (hidden Markov model, support vector machines).
