  2. Bridgewire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgewire

    A bridgewire or bridge wire, also known as a hot bridge wire (HBW), is a relatively thin resistance wire used to set off a pyrotechnic composition serving as pyrotechnic initiator.

  3. Transient hot wire method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_Hot_Wire_Method

    The transient hot wire method has advantage over the other thermal conductivity methods, since there is a fully developed theory and there is no calibration or single-point calibration. Furthermore, because of the very small measuring time (1 s) there is no convection present in the measurements and only the thermal conductivity of the fluid is ...

  4. Abiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis

    The 2015 NASA strategy on the origin of life aimed to solve the puzzle by identifying interactions, intermediary structures and functions, energy sources, and environmental factors that contributed to the diversity, selection, and replication of evolvable macromolecular systems, [2] and mapping the chemical landscape of potential primordial ...

  5. Abiotic component - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiotic_component

    Humans can make or change abiotic factors in a species' environment. For instance, fertilizers can affect a snail's habitat, or the greenhouse gases which humans utilize can change marine pH levels. Abiotic components include physical conditions and non-living resources that affect living organisms in terms of growth, maintenance, and ...

  6. Abiotic stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiotic_stress

    Abiotic stress is the negative impact of non-living factors on the living organisms in a specific environment. [1] The non-living variable must influence the environment beyond its normal range of variation to adversely affect the population performance or individual physiology of the organism in a significant way.

  7. Hotwire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotwire

    Hotwire or hot wire may refer to: Technology. Hot-wiring, a method of starting a car with no key; Hot-wire foam cutter, a tool used to cut foam and polystyrene;

  8. Ecosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem

    [2]: 458 The biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. Ecosystems are controlled by external and internal factors. External factors such as climate, parent material which forms the soil and topography, control the overall structure of an ecosystem but are not themselves influenced by the ecosystem.

  9. Hot-wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-wiring

    Hot-wiring is the process of bypassing a motor vehicle's ignition switch and thus starting it without the key.It is often utilized during a vehicle theft. [1] However, a legitimate vehicle owner who has lost a vehicle key or starting a vehicle with inoperable ignition switch (e.g. in run-down old cars) may also use this process.
