Run-and-tumble motion is a movement pattern exhibited by certain bacteria and other microscopic agents. It consists of an alternating sequence of "runs" and "tumbles": during a run, the agent propels itself in a fixed (or slowly varying) direction, and during a tumble, it remains stationary while it reorients itself in preparation for the next run.
The peacock tail in flight, the classic example of an ornament assumed to be a Fisherian runaway. Fisherian runaway or runaway selection is a sexual selection mechanism proposed by the mathematical biologist Ronald Fisher in the early 20th century, to account for the evolution of ostentatious male ornamentation by persistent, directional female choice.
Venus' oceans may have boiled away in a runaway greenhouse effect. A runaway greenhouse effect involving carbon dioxide and water vapor likely occurred on Venus. [22] In this scenario, early Venus may have had a global ocean if the outgoing thermal radiation was below the Simpson–Nakajima limit but above the moist greenhouse limit. [2]
Ngspice supports parametric netlists (i.e. netlists can contain parameters and expressions). PSPICE compatible parametric macromodels, often released by manufacturers, can be imported as-is into the simulator.
Runaway reaction, a chemical reaction releasing more heat than what can be removed and becoming uncontrollable; Thermal runaway, self-increase of the reaction rate of an exothermic process while temperature increases with the heat released and giving rise to an explosion
Chemical reactions involving thermal runaway are also called thermal explosions in chemical engineering, or runaway reactions in organic chemistry.It is a process by which an exothermic reaction goes out of control: the reaction rate increases due to an increase in temperature, causing a further increase in temperature and hence a further rapid increase in the reaction rate.
The Latent Diffusion Model (LDM) [1] is a diffusion model architecture developed by the CompVis (Computer Vision & Learning) [2] group at LMU Munich. [3]Introduced in 2015, diffusion models (DMs) are trained with the objective of removing successive applications of noise (commonly Gaussian) on training images.
Diesel engine runaway is an occurrence in diesel engines, in which the engine draws extra fuel from an unintended source and overspeeds at higher and higher RPM, producing up to ten times the engine's rated output until destroyed by mechanical failure or bearing seizure due to a lack of lubrication.
