  2. Pig - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig

    A family of feral pigs. Pigs have escaped from farms and gone feral in many parts of the world. Feral pigs in the southeastern United States have migrated north to the Midwest, where many state agencies have programs to remove them. [35] [36] [37] Feral pigs in New Zealand and northern Queensland have caused substantial environmental damage.

  3. Multiplicity (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity_(chemistry)

    When S > L there are only 2L+1 orientations of total angular momentum possible, ranging from S+L to S-L. [2] [3] The ground state of the nitrogen atom is a 4 S state, for which 2S + 1 = 4 in a quartet state, S = 3/2 due to three unpaired electrons. For an S state, L = 0 so that J can only be 3/2 and there is only one level even though the ...

  4. Pig farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_farming

    Pigs are extensively farmed, and therefore the terminology is well developed: Pig, hog, or swine, the species as a whole, or any member of it. The singular of "swine" is the same as the plural. Shoat (or shote), piglet, or (where the species is called "hog") pig, unweaned young pig, or any immature pig [23] Sucker, a pig between birth and weaning

  5. Ground state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_state

    The ground state of a quantum-mechanical system is its stationary state of lowest energy; the energy of the ground state is known as the zero-point energy of the system. An excited state is any state with energy greater than the ground state. In quantum field theory, the ground state is usually called the vacuum state or the vacuum. If more ...

  6. Suidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suidae

    Suidae is a family of artiodactyl mammals which are commonly called pigs, hogs, or swine. In addition to numerous fossil species, 18 extant species are currently recognized (or 19 counting domestic pigs and wild boars separately), classified into between four and eight genera .

  7. Feed conversion ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_conversion_ratio

    Pigs have been kept to produce meat for 5,000 to 9,000 years. [16] As of 2011 [update] , pigs used commercially in the UK and Europe had an FCR, calculated using weight gain, of about 1 as piglets and ending about 3 at time of slaughter. [ 5 ]

  8. Animal fat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_fat

    Depending on the temperature of the fat, it can change between a solid state and a liquid state. Chemically, both fats and oils are composed of triglycerides . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Although many animal parts and secretions may yield oil, in commercial practice, oil is extracted primarily from rendered tissue fats from livestock animals like pigs ...

  9. Variational method (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variational_method...

    The expectation value of the total Hamiltonian H (including the term V ee) in the state described by ψ 0 will be an upper bound for its ground state energy. V ee is −5E 1 /2 = 34 eV, so H is 8E 1 − 5E 1 /2 = −75 eV. A tighter upper bound can be found by using a better trial wavefunction with 'tunable' parameters.
