High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Venus Express (VEX) is the first Venus exploration mission of the European Space Agency. Launched in November 2005, it arrived at Venus in April 2006 and has been continuously sending back science data from its polar orbit around Venus. Equipped with seven science instruments, the main objective of the mission is the long term observation of the Venusian atmosphere. The observation over such long periods of time has never been done in previous missions to Venus, and is key to a better understanding of the atmospheric dynamics. It is hoped that such studies can contribute to an understanding of atmospheric dynamics in general, while also contributing to an understanding of climate change on...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Venus Pencils were a brand name of pencils made by the American Lead Pencil Company starting in 1905. The production of Venus pencils gave the company an early start on other major companies in the move to high-end pencils that were mainly aimed at artists and architects. During World War I Germany`s supply of pencils lost its domination in the US market and allowed US companies to take over. Venus pencils were already being produced before the war and had become very popular during its time.

Biotechnologie ermoglicht verbesserte Verfahren in der Herstellung von pharmazeutischen Wirkstoffen, Feinchemikalien und Bulk Chemicals. In der Entwicklung biotechnologischer – wie auch chemischer - Verfahren sind dabei die fruhen Entwicklungsphasen entscheidend fur die in der spateren Produktion anfallenden Kosten und Umweltbelastungen. Um die Nachhaltigkeit neuer Verfahren zu verbessern, mussen daher bereits zu diesem Zeitpunkt okologische und okonomische Charakteristika berucksichtigt werden. Das vorhandene Prozesswissen ist jedoch in fruhen Entwicklungsphasen naturgemass gering. Dieses Buch stellt eine Methode vor, die basierend auf den in fruhen Phasen verfugbaren Daten, erganzt durch Literatur- und Patentrecherche, eine...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Verification and Validation of Computer Simulation Models is conducted during the development of a simulation model with the ultimate goal of producing an accurate and credible model. "Simulation models are increasingly being used to solve problems and to aid in decision-making. The developers and users of these models, the decision makers using information obtained from the results of these models, and the individuals affected by decisions based on such models are all rightly concerned with whether a model and its results are “correct”". This concern is addressed through verification and validation of the simulation model.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vermont Route 62 is a short state highway in Washington County, Vermont, United States. The road was designed to serve as a connector between Interstate 89 and the industrial and commercial centers of Berlin and Barre, akin to the three-digit spur interstates that are present throughout the United States. Unlike those roads, however, Route 62 is not a fully grade separated limited-access highway, having five signaled intersections with local roads over the course of its route.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vertico-SMI is currently the fastest light microscope for the 3D analysis of complete cells in the nanometer range. It is based on two technologies developed in 1996, SMI and SPDM. The effective optical resolution of this optical nanoscope has reached the vicinity of 5 nm in 2D and 40 nm in 3D and is therefore substantially better than the physical limit of 200 nm predicted by Abbe‘s law. Abbe postulated in 1873 the theoretical limit of resolution of optical microscopy.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Very low frequency or VLF refers to radio frequencies (RF) in the range of 3 kHz to 30 kHz and wavelengths from 10 to 100 kilometres. Since there is not much bandwidth in this band of the radio spectrum, audio (voice) cannot be transmitted, and only low data rate coded signals are used. The VLF band is used for a few radio navigation services, government time radio stations which broadcast time signals to set radio clocks, and for secure military communication. Since VLF waves penetrate about 40 meters into saltwater, they are used for military communication with submarines. Also known as the myriametre band or myriametre wave as the wavelengths range from one to ten myriametres (an obsolete...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Very long instruction word or VLIW refers to a CPU architecture designed to take advantage of instruction level parallelism (ILP). A processor that executes every instruction one after the other (i.e. a non-pipelined scalar architecture) may use processor resources inefficiently, potentially leading to poor performance. The performance can be improved by executing different sub-steps of sequential instructions simultaneously (this is pipelining), or even executing multiple instructions entirely simultaneously as in superscalar architectures. Further improvement can be achieved by executing instructions in an order different from the order they appear in the program; this is called out-of-order...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR), or High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR), is a Generation IV reactor concept that uses a graphite-moderated nuclear reactor with a once-through uranium fuel cycle. The VHTR is a type of High Temperature Reactor (HTR) that can conceptually have an outlet temperature of 1000°C. The reactor core can be either a “prismatic block” or a “pebble-bed” core. The high temperatures enable applications such as process heat or hydrogen production via the thermochemical sulfur-iodine cycle.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL or VHDSL) is a digital subscriber line (DSL) technology providing faster data transmission over a single flat untwisted or twisted pair of copper wires (up to 52 Mbit/s downstream and 16 Mbit/s upstream), and on coaxial cable (up to 85 Mbit/s down- and upstream); using the frequency band from 25 kHz to 12 MHz. These rates mean that VDSL is capable of supporting applications such as high-definition television, as well as telephone services (voice over IP) and general Internet access, over a single connection. VDSL is deployed over existing wiring used for analog telephone service and lower-speed DSL connections. This standard was approved by...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Very-high-speed digital subscriber line 2 (VDSL2) is an access technology that exploits the existing infrastructure of copper wires that were originally deployed for traditional telephone service as a way of delivering very high speed internet access. The main high-speed link (e.g. a fibre optic connection) terminates at a hub near the customers` location. The existing copper wire infrastructure is then used to carry the high speed connection for the short remaining distance to the customers. It can be deployed from central offices, from fiber-optic connected cabinets located near the customer premises, or within buildings. It has been defined in standard ITU-T G.993.2 finalized in 2005.
