A Medal, or Medallion, is generally a circular object that has been sculpted, molded, cast, struck, stamped or some way rendered with an insignia, portrait or other artistic rendering. A medal may be awarded to a person or organization as a form of recognition for athletic, military, scientific, academic or various other achievements. Medals may also be created to commemorate particular individuals or events, or even as works of artistic expression in their own right; artists who focus their talents on the creation of medals or medallions are termed a medalist. There are also devotional medals which may be worn as a matter of religious faith. Medals are popular collectible items either as a form of exonumia or of militaria phaleristics....

The Medea class were a class of destroyers that were being built for the Greek Navy at the outbreak of World War I and that were taken over and completed for the Royal Navy for wartime service. All were named after characters from Greek mythology as result of their Greek heritage. The Medeas were a private design roughly similar to their various Royal Navy M class contemporaries. They had three funnels, the foremost of which was taller, and unusually, the mainmast was taller than the foremast, giving rise to a distinctive appearance.

The Media Transfer Protocol is a devised set of custom extensions to the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). Whereas PTP was designed for downloading photographs from digital cameras, Media Transfer Protocol supports the transfer of music files on digital audio players and media files on portable media players, as well as personal information on personal digital assistants. Media Transfer Protocol (commonly referred to as MTP) is part of the "Windows Media" framework and thus closely related to Windows Media Player. Windows Vista has built-in support for MTP. Support for Media Transfer Protocol in Windows XP requires the installation of Windows Media Player 10 or higher. Mac and Linux systems have software packages to support it. The USB...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In toxicology, the median lethal dose, LD50 (abbreviation for “Lethal Dose, 50%”), LC50 (Lethal Concentration, 50%) or LCt50 (Lethal Concentration & Time) of a toxic substance or radiation is the dose required to kill half the members of a tested population after a specified test duration. LD50 figures are frequently used as a general indicator of a substance's acute toxicity. The test was created by J.W. Trevan in 1927. It is being phased out in some jurisdictions in favor of tests such as the Fixed Dose Procedure; however the concept, and calculation of the median lethal dose for comparison purposes, is still widely used. As a measure of toxicity, LD50 is somewhat unreliable and results...

Recent developments in medical imaging technology have changed the practice of medicine, providing physicians with powerful, non-invasive methods for studying the internal anatomy and function of the human body. These advances in imaging techniques offer both a great opportunity and a tremendous challenge for the image processing community to develop new tools to help the analysis and interpretation of the vast amount of complex medical imaging data. The work presented in this book is motivated by the fascinating task of studying the structural and functional relationship of the human brain, with the specific aim of developing geometrically accurate and topologically correct methods for automatic segmentation of 3D magnetic resonance...

In rail transport, a medium-capacity system is a non- universal term coined to differentiate an intermediate system between light rail and heavy rail. The concept is similar to Light Metro, seen in European countries. A medium-capacity system is proposed when an area requires a rapid transit service but the predicted ridership falls between the gap of the other two rail tiers. In contrast with light rail, a medium-capacity system is usually running on an exclusive right-of-way. Furthermore, the distance between stations is much longer. An MCS may also be a branch connection to another mode of a heavy-capacity...

A megaphone, speaking-trumpet, bullhorn, blowhorn, or loud hailer is a portable, usually hand-held, cone-shaped horn used to amplify a person’s voice towards a targeted direction. This is accomplished by channeling the sound through the megaphone, which also serves to match the acoustic impedance of the voice cords to the air. The natural human voice tends to spread evenly in all directions, whereas when it is sent through a megaphone, the sound is concentrated in a given direction and the coupling of its energy to the air optimised. The trade-off is that if a listener is to the side, it is more difficult to...

In computer science, a memory address is an identifier for a memory location, at which a computer program or a hardware device can store data and later retrieve it. Generally this is a binary number from a finite monotonically ordered sequence that uniquely describes the memory itself.In modern byte-addressable computers, each address identifies a single byte of storage; data too large to be stored in a single byte may reside in multiple bytes occupying a sequence of consecutive addresses. Some microprocessors were designed to be word-addressable, so that the addressable storage unit was larger than a byte. Both the Texas Instruments TMS9900 and the National Semiconductor IMP-16, used 16 bit words. The efficiency of addressing of memory...
