High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ballistite is a smokeless propellant made from two high explosives, nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine. It was developed and patented by Alfred Nobel in the late 19th century. Gunpowder, or black powder (Poudre N, Poudre Noire), as it was also known, was for about a thousand years the only practical propellant. However, there were two major tactical disadvantages attached to the use of black powder. Firstly, a squad of soldiers firing volleys would be completely unable to see their targets after a few shots; and secondly, their own location would be obvious because of the huge cloud of white smoke hanging over them.In 1884, a French chemist, Paul Vieille invented the first smokeless powder,...

A balloon is a type of aircraft that remains aloft due to its buoyancy. A balloon travels by moving with the wind. It is distinct from an airship, which is a buoyant aircraft that can be propelled through the air in a controlled manner. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

A ballot is a device used to record choices made by voters. Each voter uses one ballot, and ballots are not shared. In the simplest elections, a ballot may be a simple scrap of paper on which each voter writes in the name of a candidate, but governmental elections use pre-printed to protect the secrecy of the votes. The voter casts his/her ballot in a box at a polling station. In British English, this is usually called a "ballot paper". The word "ballot" is used for an election process within an organisation (such as a trade union "holding a ballot" of its members). Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A ballpoint pen is a modern writing instrument. A ballpoint pen has an internal chamber filled with a viscous ink that is dispensed at tip during use by the rolling action of a small metal sphere 0.7 mm to 1.2 mm in diameter of brass, steel or tungsten carbide. The manufacture of economical, reliable ballpoint pens resulted from a combination of experimentation, modern chemistry, and the precision manufacturing capabilities of 20th century technology. Many patents worldwide are testaments to failed attempts to make these pens commercially viable and widely available. The ballpoint pen went through several failures in design throughout its early stages. It has even been argued that a design by...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The barong is a thick, leaf-shaped, single-edged blade sword. It is a weapon used by Muslim tribes in the southern Philippines. Barung blades are thick and very heavy with the weight aiding in the slicing capability of this sword. Barong blade lengths range from 8 to 22 inches (20 to 56 cm). Newer blades on the other hand, tend to be longer measuring at 18 to 22 inches (46 to 56 cm). Damascene patterns are also thick but again most often not as controlled as the more widely known kalis. Most handles have a silver sleeve and lacquered braided fiber rings that sits on top. Nobility hilts were made of ivory, carabao horn, or kamagong (Philippine ebony). Other barong swords have less elaborate...

The barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) is a unit of energy based on the approximate energy released by burning one barrel (42 US gallons or 158.9873 litres) of crude oil. The US Internal Revenue Service defines it as equal to 5.8 x 106 BTU. The value is necessarily approximate as various grades of oil have slightly different heating values. 5.8 x 106 BTU59 °F equals 6.1178632 x 109 J, about 6.1 GJ (HHV), or 1.7 MWh.

The seismic response of bridges seismically isolated by lead-rubber bearings (LRB) or friction pendulum systems (FPS) to earthquake excitations of different magnitudes is discussed in this book. The specific purpose of the study is to assess the effect of seismic isolation on the peak response of bridges subjected to different base accelerations ranging from 0.05 g to 0.5 g in the horizontal direction transversal to the bridge axis. Thus a certain level of efficiency can be shown in respect of the particular bearing modification. Furthermore, the effect of superstructure stiffness (i.e. pier stiffness, pier layout) on the isolator efficiency is investigated in depth. To study the effectiveness of LRB and FPS, the seismic response of...
