wave of small amplitude
61Non-volcanic passive margins — (NVPM) constitute one end member of the transitional crustal types that lie beneath passive continental margins; the other end member being volcanic passive margins (VPM). Transitional crust welds continental crust to oceanic crust along the… …
62Dissipation — In physics, dissipation embodies the concept of a dynamical system where important mechanical models, such as waves or oscillations, lose[citation needed] energy over time, typically from friction or turbulence. The lost energy converts into heat …
63Handgun effectiveness — is a measure of the stopping power of a handgun: its ability to incapacitate a hostile target as quickly and efficiently as possible.OverviewMost handgun projectiles have significantly lower energy than centerfire rifles. What they lack in power …
64Large igneous province — Only a few of the largest Large Igneous Provinces are indicated (by the dark purple areas) on this geological map, which depicts crustal geologic provinces as seen in seismic refraction data. A Large Igneous Province (LIP) is an extremely large… …
65Phase modulation — (PM) is a form of modulation that represents information as variations in the instantaneous phase of a carrier wave.Unlike its more popular counterpart, frequency modulation (FM), PM is not very widely used. This is because it tends to require… …
66H-reflex — The H reflex is a reflectory reaction of muscles after electrical stimulation of sensory fibers (Ia afferents stemming from muscle spindles) in their innervating nerves (for example, those located behind the knee). The H reflex test is performed… …
67pulsus — SYN: pulse. [L. a stroke, pulse] p. abdominalis SYN: abdominal pulse. p. alternans SYN: alternating pulse. p. anadicrotus SYN: anacrotic pulse. p. bigeminus SYN: bigeminal pulse. p. bisferiens SYN: bisferious pulse. p. caprisans a bounding… …
68swing — vb 1 Swing, wave, flourish, brandish, shake, thrash are comparable when they mean to wield or to handle something so that it moves alternately backward and forward or upward and downward or around and around. Swing often implies regular… …
69Electroencephalogram — A study of electrical current within the brain. Electrodes are attached to the scalp. Wires attach these electrodes to a machine which records the electrical impulses. The results are either printed out or displayed on a computer screen.… …
70Elitzur-Vaidman bomb-tester — In Physics, the Elitzur Vaidman bomb testing problem is a thought experiment in quantum mechanics, first proposed by Avshalom Elitzur and Lev Vaidman in 1993. An actual bomb tester was constructed and successfully tested by Anton Zeilinger, Paul… …
