1reaction mechanism — Introduction in chemical reactions (chemical reaction), the detailed processes by which chemical substances are transformed into other substances. The reactions themselves may involve the interactions of atoms (atom), molecules (molecule),… …
2Higgs mechanism — The Higgs mechanism is spontaneous symmetry breaking in a gauge theory.It considers all of space filled with a quantum field, called the Higgs field, the interaction with which prevents certain forces from propagating over long distances. Part of …
3Berry mechanism — The Berry mechanism, or Berry pseudorotation mechanism, is a type of vibration causing molecules of certain geometries to isomerize by exchanging the two axial ligands for two of the equatorial ones. It is the most widely accepted mechanism for… …
4Kozai mechanism — In celestial mechanics, the Kozai mechanism is a secular perturbative effect on certain orbits. It causes changes in the eccentricity and the inclination of the orbit of the perturbed body to be periodic and synchronized, and also causes… …
5Crank (mechanism) — A crank is an arm attached at right angles to a rotating shaft by which reciprocating motion is imparted to or received from the shaft. It is used to change circular into reciprocating motion, or reciprocating into circular motion. The arm may be …
6The Mechanism of the Mind — The book The Mechanism of Mind details the underpinning model of mind that leads to the many thinking skills developed by Edward de Bono, including lateral thinking. The Model The model detailed in the book, and referred to again in many of… …
7Electrochemical reaction mechanism — In chemistry, an electrochemical reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary steps, involving at least one outer sphere electron transfer, by which an overall chemical change occurs [Bard, A.J. L.R. Faulkner, Electrochemical… …
8European Financial Stablisation Mechanism - EFSM — A permanent fund created by the European Union (EU) to provide emergency assistance to member states within the union. The European Financial Stablisation Mechanism (EFSM) raises money through the financial markets, and is guaranteed by the… …
9Motorcycle speedway — A speedway rider on the track Highest governing body Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme Nickname(s) Speedway First pla …
10Fluorescent lamp — A fluorescent lamp or fluorescent tube is a gas discharge lamp that uses electricity to excite mercury vapor. The excited mercury atoms produce short wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor to fluoresce, producing visible light.Unlike… …
