101Emission factor — An emission factor can be defined as the average emission rate of a given pollutant for a given source, relative to the intensity of a specific activity. Emission factors are used to derive estimates of air pollutant or greenhouse gas emissions… …
102Paleothermometer — A paleothermometer is a methodology for determining past temperatures using a proxy found in a natural record such as a sediment, ice core, tree rings or TEX86.Common paleothermometersd18oThe ratio of 18o to 16o, usually in foram tests or ice… …
103Noryl — is a blend of polyphenylene oxide (PPO) and polystyrene (PS) that was developed by General Electric Plastics in 1966 (now owned by SABIC). It is a rare example of a homogeneous mixture of two polymers. Most polymers are incompatible with one… …
104Kernel regression — Not to be confused with Kernel principal component analysis. The kernel regression is a non parametric technique in statistics to estimate the conditional expectation of a random variable. The objective is to find a non linear relation between a… …

109zoom — The action of a varifocal lens system in a camera or microscope that maintains an object in focus while approaching it or receding from it; this effect may be obtained by moving two or more of the lens components at rates bearing a linear …
110Markstein number — The Markstein number is a term used in combustion engineering and explosion studies. It characterizes the effect of local heat release of a propagating flame on variations in the surface area along the flame front and the associated local flame… …
