Lexicographic order
Lexicographic Order is, to put simply, Alphabetic order.
in a mathematical or programming context, this means that symbols are ordered by their value
for example: 0, 00, 1, 11, 2, 22, etc.
Axion
An axion is a elementary particle theorized in 1977 by the Peccei–Quinn theory. It was used to solve the strong CP problem in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). If these axions do exist in a specific mass range, they could be a possible part of cold dark matter. There is also evidence of solar axions (axions from the Sun). Also if these axions exist there is evidence that they can go faster than the speed of light.
Alexander Tilloch Galt
Sir Alexander Tilloch Galt began his working life in Canada with the British American Land Company in Lower Canada's Eastern Townships. Frustrated by the political deadlock in the united legislature of Canada East (Québec) and Canada West (Ontario), Galt first advocated annexation to the United States, but later worked for a federal union of the British North American colonies. After Confederation, Galt moved from electoral politics into diplomacy, while continuing to promote development in the Eastern Townships and later in southern Alberta.
Spallation
Spallation is a process whereby material is released from a body because of impact or stress. In impact mechanics, it is the release of material from a target during impact by a projectile. In planetary physics, it is the impact of a meteoroid on the surface of a planet and the effects of solar winds and cosmic rays on the atmosphere and surface of planets. In anthropology, spallation is a process used to make stone tools by knapping. In nuclear physics, spallation is the process in which a heavy nucleus releases many nucleons because it has been hit by a high-energy particle, thereby reducing its atomic weight.
Agwé
Agwé (also spelt Goue, Agoueh, or Agive), is a loa who rules over the sea, fish, and aquatic plants, as well as the patron loa of fishermen and sailors in Voodoo.
His colors are blue, white, and occasionally sea-green or brown. His "veve" (ritual symbol) is a boat with sails. His symbols are painted shells, painted oars, and sea life like the seahorse and starfish.
Small offerings to Agwe are dropped overboard in deep ocean water. Large offerings to Agwe are left on constructed rafts ("barques d'Agwe") which are floated to sea. If the raft sinks, it is accepted; if it returns to shore it is rejected.
His offerings include:
mirrors, toy ships or scale ship models, oars or paddles, sea shells;
champagne, naval rum, coffee with sugar and cream, white cake, cane syrup, olive oil;
male ducks and white rams or goats (they are prepared, cooked, and then placed on plates as a sacrifice; as king of the seas, Agwe doesn't get hot food at home).
Beryllium-10
Beryllium-10 (Be) is a radioisotope of beryllium. It is formed in the Earth's atmosphere mainly by cosmic ray spallation of nitrogen and oxygen. Beryllium-10 has a half-life of 1.39 × 10 years. It decays by beta decay to boron-10. It has a maximum energy of 556.2 keV. It decays through the reaction Be→B + e.
Be and its daughter product have been used to study soil erosion, soil formation from regolith, the development of lateritic soils and the age of ice cores. It is also formed in nuclear explosions by a reaction of fast neutrons with C in the carbon dioxide in air.
