Ju (state)
Ju (Chinese: 莒; pinyin: Jǔ) was a Dongyi state in modern Shandong province during the Zhou dynasty (1046–256 BCE) of ancient China. The rulers of Ju bore the surname of Ji. According to the Shuowen Jiezi, "Ju" means taro or a wooden tool. It was weakened by wars with the states of Chu and Qi. Eventually the state was annexed by Qi, and the City of Ju became a major stronghold of Qi.

Jǐ (ancient surname)
Jǐ is the Mandarin pinyin romanization of the Chinese surname written 己 in Chinese character. It is romanized as Chi in Wade–Giles. One of the ancient ancestral names, Ji is an uncommon surname today. It is not listed in the Song dynasty classic text Hundred Family Surnames.

Ji 己 is one of the eight surnames of Zhu Rong, related to the Mi clan, which founded Chu, a major state during the Zhou dynasty. Scholar Li Xuanbo believes that the name originates from the clan's totem of snake. The Chinese character Ji 己 resembles a snake.

During the Zhou dynasty, branches of the Ji 己 clan established the minor states of Ju, Tan (郯), and Wen (温).
Songs from Les Misérables
The songs from Les Misérables are the sung-through musical numbers featured in the stage adaptation of Victor Hugo's 1862 novel of the same name.

The music was composed by Claude-Michel Schönberg, with original French lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel. An English-language libretto by Herbert Kretzmer was later developed for the London production, which opened in 1985 following the original 1980 premiere in Paris.

The score includes a range of solos and ensemble pieces. Several songs, including "I Dreamed a Dream", "On My Own", and "Do You Hear the People Sing?", have been featured in various stage productions, recordings, and screen adaptations.

Utsunomiya Line
The Utsunomiya Line (Japanese: 宇都宮線, Hepburn: Utsunomiya-sen) is the service name used by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) for the 163.5-kilometer (101.6 mi) section of the Tōhoku Main Line between Tokyo Station in Tokyo and Kuroiso Station in Nasushiobara, Tochigi, Japan. In regular service, the remaining northern section of the Tōhoku Main Line is referred to as the Tōhoku Line. Separate service names are used because the line is electrified at 1,500 V DC south of Kuroiso and 20 kV 50 Hz AC north of the station, meaning there are no regularly scheduled passenger services operating through Kuroiso Station.

Scarabus
Scarabus is the third and the last studio album by British jazz rock band Ian Gillan Band, released in October 1977.

Kecskemét Cathedral
The Co-Cathedral of the Ascension of the Lord (Hungarian: Urunk Mennybemenetele Társszékesegyház) also called Kecskemét Cathedral, also called the Great Church, is a religious building affiliated with the Catholic Church located in the city of Kecskemét, Hungary, serves as the Co-Cathedral or alternate cathedral of the Archdiocese of Kalocsa-Kecskemét. It is dedicated to the Ascension of Christ.

The church was built between 1774 and 1806 in the Baroque style and remains the largest church in the Pannonian Plain. The original design corresponds to Gáspár Osvald, but the construction management was entrusted to Balthasar Fischer. Already in 1819 the tower of the church burned down, and had to be renewed until 1863 then receiving its current form.

Kecskemét
Kecskemét (US: /ˈkɛtʃkɛmeɪt/ KETCH-kem-ayt Hungarian: [ˈkɛt͡ʃkɛmeːt]) is a city with county rights in central Hungary. It is the eighth-largest city in the country, and the county seat of Bács-Kiskun.

Kecskemét lies halfway between the capital Budapest and the country's third-largest city, Szeged, 86 kilometres (53 miles) from both of them and almost equal distance from the two big rivers of the country, the Danube and the Tisza. It is the northern of two centres of the Hungarian Southern Great Plain (Hungarian: Dél-Alföld) region (comprising the three counties Bács-Kiskun, Békés and Csongrád); the southern centre is Szeged, the seat of Csongrád county.
Volumetric flow rate
In physics and engineering, in particular fluid dynamics, the volumetric flow rate (also known as volume flow rate, or volume velocity) is the volume of fluid which passes per unit time; usually it is represented by the symbol Q (sometimes ). Its SI unit is cubic metres per second (m3/s).

It contrasts with mass flow rate, which is the other main type of fluid flow rate. In most contexts a mention of "rate of fluid flow" is likely to refer to the volumetric rate. In hydrometry, the volumetric flow rate is known as discharge.

The volumetric flow rate across a unit area is called volumetric flux, as defined by Darcy's law and represented by the symbol q. Conversely, the integration of a volumetric flux over a given area gives the volumetric flow rate.

Darcy's law
Darcy's law is an equation that describes the flow of a fluid through a porous medium and through a Hele-Shaw cell. The law was formulated by Henry Darcy based on results of experiments on the flow of water through beds of sand, forming the basis of hydrogeology, a branch of earth sciences. It is analogous to Ohm's law in electrostatics, linearly relating the volume flow rate of the fluid to the hydraulic head difference (which is often just proportional to the pressure difference) via the hydraulic conductivity. In fact, the Darcy's law is a special case of the Stokes equation for the momentum flux, in turn deriving from the momentum Navier–Stokes equation.
