High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The British Supermarine Spitfire was one of the most outstanding fighter aircraft of the Second World War. The basic airframe proved to be extremely adaptable, capable of taking far more powerful engines and far greater loads than its original role as a short-range interceptor had allowed for. This would lead to 24 marks of Spitfire, and many sub-variants within the marks, being produced throughout the Second World War and beyond, in continuing efforts to fulfill Royal Air Force requirements and successfully combat ever-improving enemy aircraft.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED) is a display technology which has been developing various flat panel displays by a number of companies as a electronic visual displays. SEDs use nanoscopic-scale electron emitters to energize colored phosphors and produce an image. In a general sense, a SED consists of a matrix of tiny cathode ray tubes, each "tube" forming a single sub-pixel on the screen, grouped in threes to form red-green-blue (RGB) pixels. SEDs combine the advantages of CRTs, namely their high contrast ratios, wide viewing angles and very fast response times, with the packaging advantages of LCD and other flat panel displays. They also use much less power than an LCD...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A surfboard is an elongated platform used in the sport of surfing. Surfboards are relatively light, but are strong enough to support an individual standing on them while riding a breaking wave. They were invented in ancient Hawaii, where they were known as papa he‘e nalu in the Hawaiian language; they were usually made of wood from local trees, such as koa, and were often over 15 feet (5 m) in length and extremely heavy. Major advances over the years include the addition of one or more fins on the bottom rear of the board to improve directional stability, and numerous improvements in materials and shape.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A surfboard fin is a foil (see Foil (fluid mechanics) ), specifically, a hydrofoil that is mounted near the tail of a surfboard such that it is more or less perpendicular to the bottom of the board. The fin provides lateral lift (See Lift (force))opposed to oncoming water as a surfer rides a shoaling ocean wave, and also stabilizes the surfboard`s trajectory, and as a result of the effects of the foil, fins are used (along with the bottom of the surfboard) as control surfaces by the rider. Surfboard fins were thus an important advancement in the maneuvering performance of surfboards. Surfboard fins may be arrayed in various number and configuration, and many different shapes, sizes, and...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), originally called BOLD venographic imaging, uses a type of contrast in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) different from traditional spin density, T1, or T2 imaging. SWI uses a fully flow compensated, long echo, gradient echo (GRE) scan to acquire images. This method exploits the susceptibility differences between tissues and uses the phase image to detect these differences. The magnitude and phase data are combined to produce an enhanced contrast magnitude image which is exquisitely sensitive to venous blood, hemorrhage and iron storage. The imaging of venous blood with SWI is a blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) technique which is why it was (and is...
