  4. Momentum operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum_operator

    The momentum operator can be described as a symmetric (i.e. Hermitian), unbounded operator acting on a dense subspace of the quantum state space. If the operator acts on a (normalizable) quantum state then the operator is self-adjoint. In physics the term Hermitian often refers to both symmetric and self-adjoint operators. [7] [8]

    In the 1920s, the novelist and engineer Nevil Shute Norway (he called his autobiography Slide Rule) was Chief Calculator on the design of the British R100 airship for Vickers Ltd. from 1924. The stress calculations for each transverse frame required computations by a pair of calculators (people) using Fuller's cylindrical slide rules for two or ...

  8. Angular momentum operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum_operator

    The angular momentum operator plays a central role in the theory of atomic and molecular physics and other quantum problems involving rotational symmetry. Being an observable, its eigenfunctions represent the distinguishable physical states of a system's angular momentum, and the corresponding eigenvalues the observable experimental values.

  9. Overall labor effectiveness - Wikipedia

    Availability is the ratio of time the operators are working productively divided by the amount of time the operators were scheduled. Breakdown Changeover: Lack of training and experience Unplanned absenteeism Maintenance mechanics delayed Poorly scheduled breaks and lunches Material handlers starved the machine Set-up personnel shortages or delays
