  2. Insertion loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_loss

    In telecommunications, insertion loss is the loss of signal power resulting from the insertion of a device in a transmission line or optical fiber and is usually expressed in decibels (dB). If the power transmitted to the load before insertion is P T and the power received by the load after insertion is P R , then the insertion loss in decibels ...

  3. Insertion reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_reaction

    Organic azides also provide an example of an insertion reaction in organic synthesis and, like the above examples, the transformations proceed with loss of nitrogen gas. When tosyl azide reacts with norbornadiene, a ring expansion reaction takes place in which a nitrogen atom is inserted into a carbon-carbon bond α- to the bridge head: [14]

  4. Tsiolkovsky rocket equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

    A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...

  5. Scattering parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering_parameters

    The extra loss may be due to intrinsic loss in the DUT and/or mismatch. In case of extra loss the insertion loss is defined to be positive. The negative of insertion loss expressed in decibels is defined as insertion gain and is equal to the scalar logarithmic gain (see: definition above).

  6. Widom insertion method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widom_insertion_method

    The Widom insertion method is a statistical thermodynamic approach to the calculation of material and mixture properties. It is named for Benjamin Widom , who derived it in 1963. [ 1 ] In general, there are two theoretical approaches to determining the statistical mechanical properties of materials.

  7. Delta-v budget - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-v_budget

    Delta-v in feet per second, and fuel requirements for a typical Apollo Lunar Landing mission.In astrodynamics and aerospace, a delta-v budget is an estimate of the total change in velocity (delta-v) required for a space mission.

    The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released a draft recommendation advising against using vitamin D to prevent falls and fractures in people over 60. Pharmacist Katy Dubinsky weighs in.

  9. Dielectric loss - Wikipedia

    The loss tangent is then defined as the ratio (or angle in a complex plane) of the lossy reaction to the electric field E in the curl equation to the lossless reaction: tan ⁡ δ = ω ε ″ + σ ω ε ′ . {\displaystyle \tan \delta ={\frac {\omega \varepsilon ''+\sigma }{\omega \varepsilon '}}.}
