Thrust 
 It is a number that can be used to compare various types of motors like airplane motors, jet engines, rocket engines, or car engines.
Thrust 
 The thrust-to-weight ratio is used to actually compare engines is the number found when the engine is first running.
Thrust 
 This can be done by redirecting the thrust in a turbofan or jet engine or by changing the blade angle of a propeller driven aircraft.
Thrust 
 A boat with a motor makes thrust or reverse thrust when the propellers are turned to push water backwards (or forwards).
Thrust 
 The thrust that this makes pushes the boat in the opposite direction than the water is being pushed.
Thrust 
 A rocket is pushed forward by a thrust force as large as the force the exhaust gas makes when going out of the rocket nozzle.
Thrust 
 For vertical launch of a rocket to work, the starting thrust must be more force than the weight of the rocket.
Robert A. Heinlein 
 Probably his best-known novels are Starship Troopers (1959, Hugo Award, was made into a film), and Stranger in a Strange Land (1961, Hugo Award).
Robert A. Heinlein 
 Together with Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke he is seen as one of the Big Three of Science Fiction.
Fable 
 A fable starts in the middle of the story, that means, jumps into the main event without detailed introduction of characters.
Fable 
 When animals are used in fables, they think and talk like people, even though they act like animals.
Fable 
 To understand a fable, the reader or listener does not need to know all about the characters, only one important thing.
Fable 
 For this reason animals are often used in fables in a way that is easily understood because it is always the same.
Fable 
 So, if a person sees a beautiful thing that they want, but cannot have, sometimes they say "I don't want it, anyway!
Fable 
 So if a person always makes a great fuss to get attention, or if a person says something bad has happened when it has not, then it is called "crying wolf" and people will stop bothering to pay attention, even when things go really wrong.
Drainage 
 The earliest archaeological record of an advanced system of drainage comes from the  Indus Valley Civilization from around 3100 BC in what is now Pakistan and North India.
Drainage 
 The ancient Indus systems of sewerage and drainage that were developed and used in cities throughout the civilization were far more advanced than any found in contemporary urban sites in the Middle East and even more efficient than those in some areas of modern Pakistan and India today.
Drainage 
 All houses in the major cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro had access to water and drainage facilities.
Drainage 
 In the northern USA and Europe, glaciation created numerous small lakes which gradually filled with humus to make marshes.
Drainage 
 Turf cutting (Peat mining), subsidence and shoreline erosion gradually caused the formation of one large lake, the Haarlemmermeer, or lake of Haarlem.
Drainage 
 The invention of wind powered pumping engines in the 15th century permitted drainage of some of the marginal land, but the final drainage of the lake had to await the design of large, steam powered pumps and agreements between regional authorities.

Polder 
 Empoldering involves the use of a polder, a piece of land in a low-lying area that has been reclaimed from a body of water by building dikes and drainage canals.
Polder 
 Although empoldering is usually carried out in low-lying coastal areas, it can also be dome in inland areas such as lakes and rivers.
Polder 
 It is common in countries like the Netherlands, where much of the country is below sea level and subject to flooding.
Polder 
 Secondly, polders are continually maintained by systems of drainage canals and pumps which prevent them from becoming waterlogged and hence, suitable for cultivation.
Polder 
 Stage 5: After a period of up to 15 years, the polder is ready for growing crops, building houses and constructing roads.
Resistor 
 In a resistor the energy of the electrons that pass through the resistor are changed to heat and/or light.
Resistor 
 For example, in a light bulb, the tungsten filament acts as a resistor that heats up because of the current going through it, causing it to glow.
Resistor 
 Resistors have different power ratings to tell engineers how much power they can handle before they break and how accurate their value is.
Resistor 
 Connecting two resistors in series results in a higher resistance, and connecting them in parallel makes a lower resistance.
Resistor 
 Nowadays the electrical industry in many cases uses so called surface-mount technology based resistors which can be very small.
Resistor 
 The formula for Ohm’s law, V=I*R, states that the voltage drop across a component is equal to the product of the current flowing in the component multiplied by the resistance of the component.
Resistor 
 When  using Ohm’s law, you are able to switch the formula around if needed to find a different outcome: I=V/R or R=V/I
Resistor 
 The colored bands that are used on the sides of a resistor are black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, gray, and white.
Resistor 
 The black band represents the number 0, brown band represents the number 1, red is 2 and so on all the way to white which is the number 9.
Resistor 
 The third band acts as a multiplier for the other bands, so for example, if the third band was an orange band which is a 3, it would mean you multiply the two numbers by 1000.
Resistor 
 When the color codes are put into the calculator, it will automatically calculate the value of the resistor, along with the tolerance.
Resistor 
 They also control the amount of current flowing in a circuit, for example, if you want less current to flow you would put in a resistor with a higher value.
Resistor 
 Usually, engineers try to make resistors heat up as little as possible to not waste power, but in a heater, this "waste" is a good thing.
Resistor 
 Fixed resistors are usually made of carbon encased in a plastic cylinder, with a connecting wire on either end.
Resistor 
 Older resistors were made of other poorly conducting metals, in order to restrict the flow of charge.
Death Star 
 The details of the Death Star changed between different models during production of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
Death Star 
 Making a Death Star that was only partly built (but was still powerful) was a problem for Industrial Light & Magic's modelmakers for Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
Death Star 
 Both Death Stars were created in the movies by using a full models, models of sections of the space station and matte paintings.
Death Star 
 The movie begins with Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) attempting to take the station's plans to the Rebel Alliance, wanting to help them destroy the Death Star.
Death Star 
 There, Tarkin tries to make Leia reveal the location of the rebel base by threatening the use of the Death Star to destroy Leia's home world, Alderaan.
Death Star 
 Later, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and his small crew are also captured and taken to the station, escaping with Leia shortly after.
Death Star 
 In the movie's main battle scene, the force ghost of Obi-wan Kenobi tells Luke to use the Force to help him direct proton torpedoes from his x-wing into the Death Star' reactor core and not with his ship's targeting system.
Death Star 
 Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) and Darth Vader (David Prowse/James Earl Jones) send the Rebels false information with the intention of trapping the Rebels, saying that the station's weapons systems are not fully functional.
Death Star 
 In the movie's climax, Vader throws Palpatine down one of the station's reactor core, apparantly killing him.
Death Star 
 However, Palpatine fires a large amount of sith lightning during this process and critically damages the electronics on Vader's suit that keeps him alive.
Death Star 
 Luke then takes Vader's body and leaves the Death Star just before it is destroyed by Lando Calrissian onboard the Millennium Falcon.
Death Star 
 At the end of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, the Death Star is shown starting to be built.
Doctor of Philosophy 
 In many areas of study, the PhD/DPhil is the highest degree that a person can earn (this is called the "terminal degree").
Doctor of Philosophy 
 There are PhD/DPhil degrees for many different fields, such as PhDs/DPhils in literature, philosophy, history, science, mathematics, and engineering.
Doctor of Philosophy 
 Other PhD/DPhil degrees were developed in the 1970s and 1980s, such as the PhD/DPhil in Computer Science.
Doctor of Philosophy 
 To be admitted to a PhD/DPhil program, a person usually has to have completed their Bachelor's degree or master's degree that is related to the PhD/DPhil degree.
Doctor of Philosophy 
 For example, a person applying to be admitted to a PhD/DPhil degree in Theater would normally have to have a master's degree such as a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Theater, English Literature, or a related area.
Doctor of Philosophy 
 After the PhD/DPhil student has taken these courses, they take examinations to test what the student knows about their area of study.
Doctor of Philosophy 
 Some PhD/DPhil degrees also require students to pass exams in languages (such as French, German, or other languages).
Doctor of Philosophy 
 Many PhD/DPhil students teach undergraduate students or assist professors with research during their PhD/DPhil studies.
Doctor of Philosophy 
 A PhD/DPhil is necessary or usual to become a university professor in many fields, especially in science.
Doctor of Philosophy 
 In some fields, there is no PhD/DPhil, and so another degree is required to become a university professor.
Doctor of Philosophy 
 For example, the highest degree in Fine Arts fields such as printmaking or graphic design is the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree.
Doctor of Philosophy 
 The Mathematics PhD in the United Kingdom: Notes on its History Contains information/links of more general relevance than mathematics.
Global 200 
 The Global 200 is the list of ecoregions identified by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) as priorities for conservation.
Global 200 
 According to the WWF, an ecoregion is defined as a "relatively large unit of land or water containing a characteristic set of natural communities that share a large majority of their species, dynamics, and environmental conditions (Dinerstein et al.
Global 200 
 The WWF assigns a conservation status to each ecoregion in the Global 200: critical or endangered; vulnerable; and relatively stable or intact.

Ecoregion 
 An ecoregion (ecological region), sometimes called a bioregion, is the next smallest ecologically and geographically defined area beneath "realm" or "ecozone".
Ecoregion 
 Ecoregions cover relatively large area of land or water, and contain characteristic, geographically distinct natural communities and species.
Ecoregion 
 When defined by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the boundaries of an ecoregion approximate the original extent of the natural communities prior to any major recent disruptions or changes.
Ecoregion 
 The WWF has identified 825 terrestrial ecoregions, and approximately 450 freshwater ecoregions across the Earth.
Ecoregion 
 World Wide Fund for Nature's full definition of an ecoregion, which is widely accepted and used, is the following:
Ecoregion 
 A large area of land or water that contains a geographically distinct assemblage of natural communities that(a) share a large majority of their species and ecological dynamics;(b) share similar environmental conditions, and;(c) interact ecologically in ways that are critical for their long-term persistence.--World Wide Fund for Nature - EcoregionsThe Global 200 is the list of ecoregions identified by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) as priorities for conservation.
Ecoregion 
 It has a distinct climate, geology, type of soil, water availability, and distinct living species (the animals and plants that live in the ecoregion).
Ecoregion 
 Or for example, an ecoregion could be a tropical forest It would have warm temperatures all day, a lot of rainfall all year, a huge river crossing, and a very organic soil.
Ecoregion 
 Marine ecoregions are regions of the world's oceans, that are defined by the WWF, to help activities for saving marine ecosystems.
Ecoregion 
 The scheme used to find out these ecoregions is more or less the same as that for terrestrial ecoregions.
Ecoregion 
 Major habitat types are identified: polar, temperate shelfs and seas, temperate upwelling, tropical upwelling, tropical coral, pelagic, abyssal, and hadal (ocean trench) — which correspond to the terrestrial biomes.
Ecoregion 
 Major biogeographic realms, analogous to the seven terrestrial ecozones, represent large regions of the ocean basins: North Temperate Atlantic, Eastern Tropical Atlantic, Western Tropical Atlantic, South Temperate Atlantic, North Temperate Indo-Pacific, Central Indo-Pacific, Eastern Indo-Pacific, Western Indo-Pacific, South Temperate Indo-Pacific, Southern Ocean, Antarctic, Arctic, and Mediterranean.
Ecoregion 
 The classification of Marine ecoregions is not developed to the same level of detail and comprehensiveness as that of the terrestrial ecoregions; only the priority conservation areas of the Global 200 are listed.
Ecoregion 
 Freshwater ecoregions are the freshwater habitats of a particular geographic area, including rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands.
Ecoregion 
 Freshwater ecoregions are distinct from terrestrial ecoregions, which have biotic communities of the land, and marine ecoregions, which are biotic communities of the oceans.
Ecoregion 
 The WWF speaks of seven major habitat types of freshwater ecoregions: Large rivers, large river headwaters, large river deltas, small rivers, large lakes, small lakes, and xeric basins.
Ecoregion 
 Several freshwater ecoregions are listed in the Global 200, the WWF's priority ecoregions for conservation of biodiversity.
Wetland 
 The combination of wet and dry areas means that many more different kinds of plants, animals and insects may live in a wetland than compared to other types of habitat.
Wetland 
 Because of this great biodiversity, several important wetlands are among the Global 200 ecoregions that the World Wide Fund for Nature listed for conservation to try to get people to protect them.
Wetland 
 A moor was originally the same as a bog but has come to be associated with this soil type on hill-tops.
Wetland 
 This means that it contains a moderate or high proportion of hydroxyl ions (pH value greater than 7).
Wetland 
 It may feature grasses, rushes, reeds, typhas, sedges, and other herbaceous plants (possibly with low-growing woody plants) in a context of shallow water.
Wetland 
 A coastal (salt)-marsh typically has very salty water, either directly from the ocean or a mixture of salt water and fresh water.
Wetland 
 Salt-marshes may be associated with estuaries and along waterways between coastal barrier islands and the inner coast.
Wetland 
 The plants in this kind of marsh can range from reeds in mildly brackish (salty) water to especially hardy salt-grasses (salicornia) on otherwise bare marine mud.
Wetland 
 In North America, 'swamp' is used for wetlands dominated by trees and woody bushes rather than grasses and low herbs.
Wetland 
 This distinction does not necessarily apply in other areas, for instance in Africa where swamps may be dominated by papyrus instead of trees.
Wetland 
 For example: A mangrove swamp or mangal is a salt or brackish water environment dominated by mangrove trees.
Wetland 
 A constructed wetland is man-made to make a piece of land hold more water than it otherwise would naturally.
Wetland 
 Uses include absorbing flash floods (by holding the extra water from the flood), cleaning sewage (which is done by the plants as the dirty water passes over their roots), enhancing wildlife habitat (for example creating new homes for rare birds or other animals) or for some other human reason.
Marsh 
 It has grasses, rushes, reeds, typhas, sedges, and other herbaceous plants (possibly with low-growing woody plants) in a context of shallow water.
Marsh 
 A marsh is different from a swamp, which has a greater proportion of open water surface, which is generally deeper than a marsh.
Marsh 
 In the US, the term 'swamp' is used for wetland dominated by trees rather than grasses and low herbs.
Marsh 
 Coastal marshes may be associated with estuaries and along waterways between coastal barrier islands and the inner coast.
Marsh 
 Marshes are critically important wildlife habitat, often serving as breeding grounds for a wide variety of animal life.
Ulan-Ude 
 Ulan-Ude (Russian:Ула́н-Удэ́; Buryat: Улаан-Үдэ), formerly Verkhneudinsk (), the capital city of the Buryat Republic, Russia.
Ulan-Ude 
 It sits at the foot of the Khamar-Daban and Khrebet Ulan-Burgasy mountain ranges, next to the confluence of the Selenga River and its tributary, the Uda.
Ulan-Ude 
 Due to its geographical position, the city grew rapidly and became a large trade centre which connected Russia with China and Mongolia.
Ulan-Ude 
 There are old merchants' mansions richly decorated with wood and stone carving in the historical center of Ulan-Ude, along the river banks.
Pelagic zone 
 Epipelagic (surface to 200m): the illuminated surface zone where there is enough light for photosynthesis.
Pelagic zone 
 Bathyal zone (from 1000m to 4000m): by this depth the ocean is almost entirely dark (with only the occasional bioluminescent organism).
Pelagic zone 
 There are no living plants, and most animals survive by consuming the snow of detritus falling from the zones above, or (like the marine hatchetfish) by preying upon others.
Pelagic zone 
 Abyssal zone (from 4000m to the ocean floor): no light penetrates to this depth, and some creatures are blind and colourless.
Pelagic zone 
 Hadal zone (the deep water in ocean trenches) – the name comes from Hades, the classical Greek underworld.
Pelagic zone 
 The last three zones are similar in character, and some marine biologists count them as a single zone or consider the latter two to be the one zone.
Vitamin A 
 Egg yolks and liver are both rich in vitamin A. Many parts of the body need vitamin A. For example, vitamin A helps sight and is good for the immune system.
Vitamin A 
 β-carotene, a provitamin found in foods like carrots can be converted to vitamin A. The efficiency of the conversion depends on genetics and fat consumption.
Vitamin A 
 People who do not get enough of the vitamin may lose the ability to see in poor light and suffer from a weakened immune system.
Vitamin A 
 Vitamin A is not soluble in water, and the human body can not get rid of the excess vitamin A easily by urination.
Vitamin A 
 People may get too much vitamin A from taking too many vitamin pills or from eating too much A-rich food like liver.
Vitamin A 
 In contrast, African big cats kill about every three or four days, and they do seem to avoid eating the preys' livers.
Vitamin D 
 It controls the levels of calcium ions and phosphates in the blood, as well as calcium and magnesium absorption in the intestines.
Vitamin D 
 It is also found naturally in marine oils and in lanolin (oil from sheep's wool), the most common source for supplements.
Vitamin D 
 Melanin, which protects skin from damage, also keeps it from making D3, which is why people with darker skin are more prone to deficiency.
Vitamin D 
 Clothing, glass, sunscreens and sunblocks also shield the skin from getting enough ultraviolet light to make D3.
Vitamin D 
 A recent panel of Vitamin D researchers concluded that at least 20-25 mcg (800-1000 IU) per day would help most adults.
Biome 
 A biome is made up of ecoregions or settlements at stable steady state and all associated transitional, disturbed, or degraded, vegetation, fauna and soils, but can often be identified by the climax vegetation type.
Biome 
 The biodiversity characteristic of each biome, especially the diversity of fauna and subdominant plant forms, is a function of abiotic factors and the biomass productivity of the dominant vegetation.
Biome 
 For example, a temperate grassland or shrubland biome is known commonly as steppe in central Asia, savanna or veld in southern Africa, prairie in North America, pampa in South America and outback or scrub in Australia.
Biome 
 Sometimes an entire biome may be targeted for protection, especially under an individual nation's Biodiversity Action Plan.
Biome 
 seasonal variation: rainfall may be distributed evenly throughout the year, or be marked by seasonal variations.
Biome 
 dry summer, wet winter: most regions of the earth receive most of their rainfall during the summer months; Mediterranean climate regions receive their rainfall during the winter months.
Biome 
 elevation: increasing elevation causes a distribution of habitat types similar to that of increasing latitude.
Biome 
 Biodiversity generally increases away from the poles towards the equator, and increases with humidity.
Biome 
 The most widely used systems of classifying biomes correspond to latitude (or temperature zoning) and humidity.
Biome 
 In 1975, Miklos Udvardy published a system of biogeographic provinces that were divided into 12 terrestrial biomes.
Biome 
 Robert G. Bailey developed a biogeographical classification system for the United States in a map published in 1975.
Biome 
 Bailey subsequently expanded the system to include the rest of North America in 1981, and the world in 1989.
Biome 
 The Bailey system is based on climate, and is divided into four domains (Polar, Humid Temperate, Dry, and Humid Tropical), with further divisions based on other climate characteristics (subarctic, warm temperate, hot temperate, and subtropical, marine and continental, lowland and mountain).
Biome 
 A team of biologists developed an ecological land classification system for the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) that identified 14 biomes, called major habitat types, and further divided the world's land area into 867 terrestrial ecoregions.
Biome 
 This classification is used to define the Global 200 list of ecoregions identified by the (WWF) as priorities for conservation.
Biome 
 Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub or sclerophyll forests (temperate warm, semihumid to semiarid with winter rainfall)
Biome 
 Montane grasslands and shrublands: alpine (above the tree line) or montane (below the tree line, and hence with trees).
