  2. Dielectric loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_loss

    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 ) .

  3. Mentha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentha

    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.

  4. Entropy and life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_and_life

    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 ...

  6. Entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy

    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.

  8. Peppermint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppermint

    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 ]

  9. Entropy (order and disorder) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(order_and_disorder)

    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.
