  2. Atmospheric circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_circulation

    The Ferrel cell is weak, because it has neither a strong source of heat nor a strong sink, so the airflow and temperatures within it are variable. For this reason, the mid-latitudes are sometimes known as the "zone of mixing." The Hadley and polar cells are truly closed loops, the Ferrel cell is not, and the telling point is in the Westerlies ...

  3. William Ferrel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ferrel

    Ferrel recognized that in meteorology and oceanography what needs to be taken into account is a tendency, of an air mass that is in motion relative to Earth, to conserve its angular momentum with respect to Earth's Axis. Ferrel also studied the effects that the Sun and Moon had on the tides, and how it affected Earth’s rotation about its axis.

  5. Hadley cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadley_cell

    This pressure distribution would imply a poleward flow near the surface in the mid-latitudes rather than an equatorward flow implied by Hadley's envisioned cells. Ferrel and James Thomson later reconciled the pressure pattern with Hadley's model by proposing a circulation cell limited to lower altitudes in the mid-latitudes and nestled within ...

    By reactivating these cells by physical means in mice, such as shining light on neurons affected by optogenetics, a long-term fear-related memory appears to be recalled. [ 10 ] Another study used optogenetics and chemogenetics to control neuronal activity in animals encoding and recalling the memory of a spatial context to investigate how the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpersonality

    Subpersonalities are functionally similar to possible selves, a concept used in cognitive psychology. [5] Possible selves are defined as psychological schema that represent multiple versions of the self. These include past and future selves, which together characterise thoughts and feelings, such as remorse, satisfaction, and doubt about the ...

  8. Cell theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_theory

    In biology, cell theory is a scientific theory first formulated in the mid-nineteenth century, that living organisms are made up of cells, that they are the basic structural/organizational unit of all organisms, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells.

  9. Metapsychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metapsychology

    Metapsychology (Greek: meta 'beyond, transcending', and ψυχολογία 'psychology') [2] is that aspect of a psychological theory that discusses the terms that are essential to it, but leaves aside or transcends the phenomena that the theory deals with.
