  2. Near-infrared spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-infrared_spectroscopy

    NIR absorption bands are typically 10–100 times weaker than the corresponding fundamental mid-IR absorption band.) [4] The lower absorption allows NIR radiation to penetrate much further into a sample than mid infrared radiation. Near-infrared spectroscopy is, therefore, not a particularly sensitive technique, but it can be very useful in ...

  3. Birch–Murnaghan equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch–Murnaghan_equation...

    The Birch–Murnaghan isothermal equation of state, published in 1947 by Albert Francis Birch of Harvard, [1] is a relationship between the volume of a body and the pressure to which it is subjected. Birch proposed this equation based on the work of Francis Dominic Murnaghan of Johns Hopkins University published in 1944, [ 2 ] so that the ...

  4. Murnaghan equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murnaghan_equation_of_state

    In practice, the Murnaghan equation is used to perform a regression on a data set, where one gets the values of the coefficients K 0 and K ' 0. These coefficients obtained, and knowing the value of the volume to ambient conditions, then we are in principle able to calculate the volume, density and bulk modulus for any pressure.

  5. Chapman–Jouguet condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapman–Jouguet_condition

    In more detail (in the ZND model) in the frame of the leading shock of the detonation wave, gases enter at supersonic velocity and are compressed through the shock to a high-density, subsonic flow. This sudden change in pressure initiates the chemical (or sometimes, as in steam explosions, physical) energy release. The energy release re ...

  6. Near-infrared window in biological tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-infrared_window_in...

    The near-infrared (NIR) window (also known as optical window or therapeutic window) defines the range of wavelengths from 650 to 1350 nanometre (nm) where light has its maximum depth of penetration in tissue. [1] Within the NIR window, scattering is the most dominant light-tissue interaction, and therefore the propagating light becomes diffused ...

    Houser, the terrorism and mass-casualty researcher, said vehicle attacks are a concerningly easy way to rapidly kill and injure a large number of people because the attack starts and finishes ...

  8. Thermal equation of state of solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_equation_of_state...

    At ambient pressure, P=0 GPA is known, so, the volume, pressure, and temperature are all given. Then, authors [9] predict the pressure value from the given (V, T) from pressure-dependent thermal expansion equation of state. The predicted pressures match with the known experimental value of 0 GPa, see in Figure 2.
