  2. List of commercial failures in video games - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercial...

    As a hit-driven business, the great majority of the video game industry's software releases have been commercial disappointments.In the early 21st century, industry commentators made these general estimates: 10% of published games generated 90% of revenue; [1] that around 3% of PC games and 15% of console games have global sales of more than 100,000 units per year, with even this level ...

  3. Secondary ion mass spectrometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_ion_mass...

    Static SIMS is the process involved in surface atomic monolayer analysis, or surface molecular analysis, usually with a pulsed ion beam and a time of flight mass spectrometer, while dynamic SIMS is the process involved in bulk analysis, closely related to the sputtering process, using a DC primary ion beam and a magnetic sector or quadrupole ...

  4. Compatibility (geochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_(geochemistry)

    Compatibility is commonly described by an element's distribution coefficient. A distribution coefficient describes how the solid and liquid phases of an element will distribute themselves in a mineral. Current studies of Earth's rare trace elements seek to quantify and examine the chemical composition of elements in the Earth's crust.

    To use the element of surprise to flank and attack an enemy. More common in multiplayer games, where 'ganking' usually indicates an unwelcome attack on an unwilling or unsuspecting participant. [75] gating Part of a game's design that regulates how new gameplay elements, levels, weapons, abilities, or the like are introduced to the player. [76] GG

  6. Island of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_stability

    Considering all decay modes, various models indicate a shift of the center of the island (i.e., the longest-living nuclide) from 298 Fl to a lower atomic number, and competition between alpha decay and spontaneous fission in these nuclides; [83] these include 100-year half-lives for 291 Cn and 293 Cn, [55] [78] a 1000-year half-life for 296 Cn ...

  7. Goldschmidt classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldschmidt_classification

    The Goldschmidt classification, [1] [2] developed by Victor Goldschmidt (1888–1947), is a geochemical classification which groups the chemical elements within the Earth according to their preferred host phases into lithophile (rock-loving), siderophile (iron-loving), chalcophile (sulfide ore-loving or chalcogen-loving), and atmophile (gas-loving) or volatile (the element, or a compound in ...

  8. Geochemical cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geochemical_cycle

    Some [who?] may use the terms biogeochemical cycle and geochemical cycle interchangeably because both cycles deal with Earth's reservoirs.However, a biogeochemical cycle refers to the chemical interactions in surface reservoirs such as the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere [citation needed] whereas a geochemical cycle refers to the chemical interactions that exist in crustal ...

  9. Mesh generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_generation

    The mesh should also be fine (have small elements) in areas that are important for the subsequent calculations. Meshes are used for rendering to a computer screen and for physical simulation such as finite element analysis or computational fluid dynamics. Meshes are composed of simple cells like triangles because, e.g., we know how to perform ...
