  2. Space Shuttle thermal protection system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_thermal...

    HRSI was primarily designed to withstand transition from areas of extremely low temperature (the void of space, about −270 °C or −454 °F) to the high temperatures of re-entry (caused by interaction, mostly compression at the hypersonic shock, between the gases of the upper atmosphere & the hull of the Space Shuttle, typically around 1,600 ...

  3. Atmospheric entry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_entry

    Atmospheric entry (sometimes listed as V impact or V entry) is the movement of an object from outer space into and through the gases of an atmosphere of a planet, dwarf planet, or natural satellite. Atmospheric entry may be uncontrolled entry, as in the entry of astronomical objects , space debris , or bolides .

  4. Pan-assay interference compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-assay_interference...

    Diagram depicting a representative pan-assay interference compound. The drug-like molecule specifically interacts with target B, but the PAINS-like compound non-specifically interacts with multiple targets. Pan-assay interference compounds (PAINS) are chemical compounds that often give false positive results in high-throughput screens. [1]

  5. Re-entry ventricular arrhythmia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-entry_ventricular...

    Re-entry is divided into two major types: [Anatomically Defined] re-entry and [Functionally Defined] re-entry. The circus movement can occur around an anatomical or functional core. Either type may occur alone, or together. [citation needed] Anatomically defined re-entry has a fixed anatomic pathway. Anomalous conduction via accessory pathways ...

  6. Ventilation/perfusion scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation/perfusion_scan

    A ventilation/perfusion lung scan, also called a V/Q lung scan, or ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy, is a type of medical imaging using scintigraphy and medical isotopes to evaluate the circulation of air and blood within a patient's lungs, [1] [2] in order to determine the ventilation/perfusion ratio.

  7. Metalorganic vapour-phase epitaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalorganic_vapour-phase...

    The susceptor is made from a material resistant to the temperature and metalorganic compounds used, often it is machined from graphite. For growing nitrides and related materials, a special coating, typically of silicon nitride or tantalum carbide , on the graphite susceptor is necessary to prevent corrosion by ammonia (NH 3 ) gas.

  8. Compound action potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_action_potential

    In neurophysiology, the Compound action potential (or CAP) refers to various evoked potentials representing the summation of synchronized individual action potentials generated by a group of neurons or muscle fibers in response to a stimulus. [1]

  9. Functional group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_group

    In organic chemistry, a functional group is a substituent or moiety in a molecule that causes the molecule's characteristic chemical reactions.The same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reactions regardless of the rest of the molecule's composition.
