In electrical engineering, dielectric loss quantifies a dielectric material's inherent dissipation of electromagnetic energy (e.g. heat). [1] It can be parameterized in terms of either the loss angle δ or the corresponding loss tangent tan( δ ) .
Mentha, also known as mint (from Greek μίνθα míntha, [2] Linear B mi-ta [3]), is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. [4] It is estimated that 13 to 24 species exist, but the exact distinction between species is unclear.
Research concerning the relationship between the thermodynamic quantity entropy and both the origin and evolution of life began around the turn of the 20th century. In 1910 American historian Henry Adams printed and distributed to university libraries and history professors the small volume A Letter to American Teachers of History proposing a theory of history based on the second law of ...
Spearmint (Mentha spicata), also known as garden mint, common mint, lamb mint and mackerel mint, ... Puccinia menthae is a fungus that causes the disease called "rust ...
The constant of proportionality is the Boltzmann constant. The Boltzmann constant, and therefore entropy, have dimensions of energy divided by temperature, which has a unit of joules per kelvin (J⋅K −1) in the International System of Units (or kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2 ⋅K −1 in terms of base units).
Mentha. Genera See text Mentheae is the largest tribe of plants in the family Lamiaceae. [1] [2] It includes herbs such as sage, hyssop, mint, bee balm and thyme.
Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) is a hybrid species of mint, a cross between watermint and spearmint. [1] Indigenous to Europe and the Middle East, [ 2 ] the plant is now widely spread and cultivated in many regions of the world. [ 3 ]
An example of an order parameter for crystallization is "bond orientational order" describing the development of preferred directions (the crystallographic axes) in space. For many systems, phases with more structural (e.g. crystalline) order exhibit less entropy than fluid phases under the same thermodynamic conditions.
