The first test was based on a "… new simpler design. A two-stage thermonuclear bomb that had a much more powerful trigger". This test Grapple X Round C was exploded on 8 November and yielded approximately 1.8 Mt (7.5 PJ). On 28 April 1958 a bomb was dropped that yielded 3 Mt (13 PJ)—Britain's most powerful test.
Canada's annual average temperature over land warmed by 1.7 degrees Celsius between 1948 and 2016. The rate of warming is highest in Canada's north, the Prairies , and northern British Columbia . The country's precipitation has increased in recent years and wildfires expanded from seasonal events to year-round threats.
The vapor pressure of water is the pressure exerted by molecules of water vapor in gaseous form (whether pure or in a mixture with other gases such as air). The saturation vapor pressure is the pressure at which water vapor is in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed state.
The United Kingdom straddles the higher mid-latitudes between 49° and 61°N on the western seaboard of Europe.Since the UK is always in or close to the path of the polar front jet stream, frequent changes in pressure and unsettled weather are typical.
Critical temperature in degrees Celsius Absolute critical pressure in kilopascals Since over 100,000 refrigerant blends are possible, [ 2 ] this list should only have notable refrigerants and refrigerant blends.
It is common practice to follow the section sign with a non-breaking space so that the symbol is kept with the section number being cited. [ 1 ] [ 7 ] : 212, 233 The section sign is itself sometimes a symbol of the justice system, [ a ] [ citation needed ] in much the same way as the Rod of Asclepius is used to represent medicine.

Osmium (from Ancient Greek ὀσμή (osmḗ) 'smell') is a chemical element; it has symbol Os and atomic number 76. It is a hard, brittle, bluish-white transition metal in the platinum group that is found as a trace element in alloys, mostly in platinum ores. Osmium is the densest naturally occurring element.
