    In Hall's paper, [34] he reports an uncertainty of 3 parts in 10 9 measured over 100 days (an uncertainty of about 0.02 seconds over that period). Both of these clocks are electromechanical clocks: they use a pendulum as the timekeeping element, but electrical power rather than a mechanical gear train to supply energy to the pendulum.

    Each Space Shuttle orbiter was designed for a projected lifespan of 100 launches or ten years of operational life, although this was later extended. [ 27 ] : 11 At launch, it consisted of the orbiter , which contained the crew and payload, the external tank (ET), and the two solid rocket boosters (SRBs).

    Later measurements by space gamma-ray telescopes of the small fraction of the 56 Co and 57 Co gamma rays that escaped the SN 1987A remnant without absorption confirmed earlier predictions that those two radioactive nuclei were the power sources.

    Twinkies, an American snack cake generally considered to be "junk food", have a shelf life of around 25 days, despite the common claim (usually facetious) that they remain edible for decades. [25] The official shelf life is 45 days. Twinkies normally remain on a store shelf for 7 to 10 days. [26]

    Astronomers report a significant unexpected increase in density in the space beyond the Solar System as detected by the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 space probes. According to the researchers, this implies that "the density gradient is a large-scale feature of the VLISM (very local interstellar medium ) in the general direction of the heliospheric ...

    [287] [291] [292] [293] A preprint suggests that cases "where a small fraction of individuals have disproportionately large numbers of partners, can explain the sustained growth of monkeypox cases among the MSM population" (13 June). [294] [295] The MP incubation period is estimated to be 8.5 days on average and up to 21 days (16 June).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_digestion

    The residence time in a digester varies with the amount and type of feed material, and with the configuration of the digestion system. In a typical two-stage mesophilic digestion, residence time varies between 15 and 40 days, [45] while for a single-stage thermophilic digestion, residence times is normally faster and takes around 14 days. The ...
