If it is necessary to divide a space in two or more parts, this is done by movable walls. These consist of panels that are sometimes hung from overhead rails.  The panels reduce transmission of sound. This is essential for preventing noise passing to nearby spaces. Together with active earmuffs, panels help keep the workplace or home noise from interfering with the kind of activities which require thought and attention. Applications include hotel function rooms, schools, conference centres, religious and sports facilities, business companies and private homes.  In private homes they can help with some tricky problems, such as a family outgrowing the home, but not able to move to larger premises. Portable partitions. Portable partitions are temporary walls used to divide rooms instead of permanent walls. They may be joined together section by section, or stand as one unit.

Pierre Sanfourche-Laporte (born in Sarlat-la-Canéda on March 24, 1774, where he died on July 9, 1856) was a French jurist. Biography. His main work, Le Nouveau Valin (1809), refers to René Josué Valin and his commentary on the Marine Ordinance of 1681. The work sees the contribution of Pierre B. Boucher, professor of maritime law, and proposes a commercial code exclusively relating to maritime trade.

Alfried Felix Alwyn Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach (13 August 1907 – 30 July 1967), often referred to as Alfried Krupp, was part of the Krupp family. They had a steel-making business in 19th and 20th century Germany. The Krupp family is famous for taking advantage of war to make money and for enslaving workers during World War II. At one time, the Krupp company was the biggest maker of weapons in the world. Krupp was born in 1907 in Essen, Germany. He joined the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) in 1933. The Krupp company pretended to make farm equipment but they were really making tanks. They moved and rebuilt factories. Some of the workers in the factories were enslaved people from concentration camps in the Holocaust. Historians say there were 100,000 slaved workers and as many as 70,000 of them died. Historian Harold James says that Alfried Krupp only became leader of the company in 1943, after all the enslaving had happened, and that he was a scapegoat for the company's bad actions. Krupp was put on trial for war crimes at the Nuremberg Trials. He was sentenced to 12 years, but he was pardoned in 1951.
The gauge (U.S. English) or bore (British English) is the inside width of the barrel of a firearm.  So, a 12-bore shotgun could take a cartridge with a solid sphere of lead which fits a 12-guage bore. Actually, the gun fires a cartridge which looses off a cluster of small lead pellets. They in total weigh the same as the single lead sphere which just fits the barrel. Lead is poisonous, and builds up in the environment. By 1919, the spent lead pellets from waterfowl hunting was identified as a major source of deaths of bottom-feeding waterfowl. So the tendency is to switch to steel pellets in the cartridge. Dense (heavy) plastic pellets in cartridges is another option, standard in competition shooting.

Deuterium–tritium fusion is a type of nuclear fusion. In deuterium–tritium fusion, one deuterium nucleus, or the center of a deuterium atom, fuses with one tritium nucleus. This makes one helium nucleus, one neutron, and 17.6 mega electronvolts of energy. How to get deuterium and tritium. Deuterium is easy to find in seawater. 1 in 5000 hydrogen atoms are deuterium. However, tritium is a radioactive isotope. If lithium is exposed to neutrons with much energy, tritium is produced. The deuterium–tritium reaction also produces one neutron. In fusion reactors, a 'breeding blanket' is used where the walls of the fusion reactor have lithium on them. This way, the neutrons produced from fusion will hit the lithium and produce more tritium.

Stereoisomers are chemicals with the same atoms as each other but different shapes. Stereoisomers have the same molecular formula as each other, with the atoms connected to each other in the same order, but with a different shape. Stereoisomerism is also called "spatial isomerism." Stereoisomers are differen from each other because of the arrangements of atoms in space, not how they are connected. Enantiomers. Enantiomers, are also called "optical isomers." Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other but can't be turned around or moved so that they are the same, the way a right hand and a left hand of the same person are mirror images of each other. This is different from a shape such as a chair - two chairs can be mirror images of each other, but then you can turn them round and stack them exactly on each other. Compounds that are enantiomers to each other have the same physical properties, except for the direction in which they rotate polarized light and how they interact with different optical isomers of other compounds. Pure enantiomers have optical activity and can be separated only with the use of a chiral agent. An optically active compound has two forms: -(+) form and -(−) form.

Latin Extended-A is a Unicode block. The block has characters of letters with diacritics. This block was named European Latin in the first version. They are used by languages "other than English". The symbols usually show a change in sound, but in some cases (circumflex in French) they signal a (historic) change in spelling. The general purpose of diacritics is disambiguation of sounds. This reflects the fact that the alphabet has many fewer letters than sounds.

The Russian Spaniel is a medium sized gundog of the spaniel type which was developed in the Soviet Union after World War II. History. There were some English Springer Spaniels and English Cocker Spaniels imported into Russia in the early 20th century, these were cross bred with other Russian hunting dogs and this breed was made official there in 1951.

The Arabian Plate is a tectonic plate It is bounded from the northwest by a left-lateral transform fault boundary, called the Dead Sea Rift, that extends from the northern end of the Red Sea to the Taurus Mountains in southern Turkey through the Dead Sea. Formation of Arabian Plate. The Arabian Plate is a big piece of the Earth's crust. It's surrounded by different types of boundaries where the plates meet: they can move apart, come together, or slide past each other. The biggest part of this plate is the Arabian Peninsula, which is why it's called the Arabian Plate. It's bordered by the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden in the west and south, and these areas are larger parts of the plate. On the east and north sides, there are mountains in Iran and Turkey that mark where the Arabian Plate meets other plates. These mountains are made when plates crash into each other. There are also big cracks in the Earth's surface, like the Dead Sea Rift and the Owen Fault, which show where the plate is splitting apart or sliding past. The Arabian Plate is moving in a northeasterly direction between these cracks, which causes things like the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden to get wider and mountains to form. Most earthquakes in this area happen near these boundaries. In Saudi Arabia, there are different types of rocks covering the land, with volcanic rocks in the western part where cities like Mecca and Medina are. There are also lots of cracks and folds in the Earth's surface in this region, especially in the west. Some researchers think that these cracks might connect to the ones in the Red Sea.
