There is an exponential increase in volume associated with adding extra dimensions to a mathematical space.For example, 10 2 = 100 evenly spaced sample points suffice to sample a unit interval (try to visualize a "1-dimensional" cube) with no more than 10 −2 = 0.01 distance between points; an equivalent sampling of a 10-dimensional unit hypercube with a lattice that has a spacing of 10 −2 ...
TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion.The ton of TNT is a unit of energy defined by convention to be 4.184 gigajoules (1 gigacalorie), [1] which is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms) of TNT.

For its 40th anniversary in 2008, Hot Wheels celebrated the making of its four billionth car with the production of a diamond-studded model worth US$140,000. It had 2,700 diamond chips, a total of almost 23 karats, and was cast in white gold, with rubies serving as taillights. [37] In 2009, Series 5 has 30 models.
The first organization to tackle IED's on a large scale was the Joint IED Defeat Organization or JIEDDO of the U.S. Department of Defense on 14 February 2006. [2] NATO later adopted JIEDDO's tactics, techniques and procedures.
A Leyland railmotor, running from Geelong to Melbourne, with 17 passengers aboard, derailed at the Wheate's Lead (now Kororoit Creek Road) level crossing, colliding with a lineside telegraph pole. [32] One passenger later died in hospital, [33] and three were injured. The cause of the accident was the failure of a roller bearing on one of the ...
