High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A spelling bee is a competition where contestants, usually children, are asked to spell English words. The concept is thought to have originated in the United States. Today, National Spelling Bee competitions for English are held in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Indonesia, among others. It is not at all a practice only carried out in English-speaking countries. Indeed, it is a similar institution in countries such as France "La dictee" and Poland "Dyktando".

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sphagnum is a genus of between 151-350 species of mosses commonly called peat moss, due to its prevalence in peat bogs and mires. A distinction is made between sphagnum moss, the live moss growing on top of a peat bog on one hand, and sphagnum peat moss (North American usage) or sphagnum peat (British usage) on the other, the latter being the decaying matter underneath.Bogs are dependent on precipitation as their main source of nutrients, thus making them a favourable habitat for sphagnum as it can retain water and air quite well. Members of this genus can hold large quantities of water inside their cells; some species can hold up to 20 times their dry weight in water, which is why peat moss is...

The thesis documents various implementations of the spherical self-organizing feature map spanning from range imagery to multi-dimensional satellite imagery. Other implementations include archaeological data and face modeling. The techniques are adapted versions of the fundamental learning strategy of the self-organizing map, introduced by Dr. Teuvo Kohonen, and implemented within a spherical topology. Continuity in learning is imposed by the predefined spherical lattice which also transforms the data into a 3D tessellated form. Since the tessellated forms originate from a sphere they simplify the computation of transformation parameters, object re-orientation etc. commonly used in three-dimensional graphics.

A detailed analysis of a prolate hemispheroidal dielectric resonator antenna excited by a rectangular slot aperture is presented. The dyadic Green’s functions pertaining to a magnetic-current source located in a dielectric spheroid is derived and expressed in a form convenient for numerical computations. The dyadic Green’s functions are then employed to formulate the electromagnetic fields radiated by a prolate hemispheroidal dielectric resonator antenna. The electromagnetic far field is expressed, in a compact form, analytically. Furthermore, algorithms for computing the prolate spheroidal wave functions are developed and implemented using the software package MATLAB. Данное издание не является...

SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) is a general-purpose analog electronic circuit simulator. It is a powerful program that is used in IC and board-level design to check the integrity of circuit designs and to predict circuit behavior. Integrated circuits, unlike board-level designs composed of discrete parts, are impossible to breadboard before manufacture. Further, the high costs of photolithographic masks and other manufacturing prerequisites make it essential to design the circuit to be as close to perfect as possible before the integrated circuit is first built. Simulating the circuit with SPICE is the industry-standard way to verify circuit operation at the transistor level before committing to manufacturing...

Spin polarization, the difference in the number of spin-up and spin-down electrons, is an intrinsic property of ferromagnetic materials. Materials with high spin polarization have important technological implications for magneto–electronic devices, e.g. devices that use magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ), giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and/or magnetic random access memory, (MRAM). The fundamental physics of high spin polarization materials forms the basis for future technological applications. In this work, measurements of spin polarization have been performed on c–axis gadolinium and dysprosium thin films, epitaxially grown on (11-20) sapphire substrates with a tungsten (110) seed layer. The values of spin polarization of c–axis...

In the last decades, Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) gained an important place among the alternative energy production sources. This is due to SOFCs wide operation temperature range (600-1000 °C) and to the possibility of using many types of fuels, including various hydrocarbons. The ferritic stainless steel interconnect is one of the main components of a SOFC stack. Interconnects require high electrical conductivity coatings with blocking properties against Cr transport from the steel substrate. This book provides a study of the oxides with spinel structure obtained by thermal oxidation of Mn-Co-Fe metallic thin films. The films were deposited by magnetron co-sputtering on ZMG232L (Hitachi Metals Ltd.®) ferritic stainless steel. The...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A spiral (sometimes called a spiral loop or just loop) is a technique employed by railways to ascend steep hills. A railway spiral rises on a steady curve until it has completed a loop, passing over itself as it gains height, allowing the railway to gain vertical elevation in a relatively short horizontal distance. It is an alternative to a zig-zag, and avoids the need for the trains to stop and reverse direction while ascending. If the train is of sufficient length, it is possible to view the train looping onto itself. A spiral loop should not be confused with the transition spiral or spiral easement used to provide a transition from a tangent into a horizontal circular curve. Spiral easement...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Spirit of Portsmouth is a vessel owned by the Gosport Ferry Company Ltd and built by VT Halmatic Ltd of Portchester. It is the company's newest vessel. The vessel was built in 2005 to replace the similar Spirit of Gosport, primarily for cruising Portsmouth Harbour and the Solent. This enabled the Spirit of Gosport to replace the Portsmouth Queen on the Gosport to Portsmouth ferry route. The main difference between the two Spirit vessels is the covered roof and bar on the Spirit of Portsmouth, making her more suited to cruising. Spirit of Portsmouth will however service the ferry route when either the Spirit of Gosport or the other ferry Gosport Queen are out of service. Upon the introduction of...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Spirit of Gosport is a vessel owned by the Gosport Ferry Company Ltd and built by Abels Shipbuilders in Bristol. Spirit of Gosport was built in 2001 to replace Portsmouth Queen on ferry duties. However the company also wanted to replace the Solent Enterprise (which operated cruise duties). The vessel was hardly used for the first few months and both existing ferries were kept in service. In 2003 it finally replaced the Solent Enterprise on cruise duties. This continued until 2005 when a brand new vessel was purchased to replace Spirit of Gosport on cruise duties. The Gosport Ferry is a ferry service operating between Gosport pontoon and Portsmouth pontoon in Hampshire, southern England. It is...

A split-ring resonator (SRR) is a component part of a negative index metamaterial (NIM), also known as Double Negative metamaterials (DNG). They are also component parts of other types of metamaterial such as Single Negative metamaterial (SNG). SRR's are also used for research in Terahertz metamaterials, Acoustic metamaterials, and Metamaterial antennas. SRRs are a pair of concentric annular rings with splits in them at opposite ends. The rings are made of nonmagnetic metal like copper and have small gap between them. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд после получения заказа.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A spring-loaded camming device (also SLCD, cam or friend) is a piece of rock climbing or mountaineering protection equipment. It consists of three or four cams mounted on a common axle or two adjacent axles, so that pulling on the axle forces the cams to spread farther apart. The SLCD is used by pulling on the "trigger" (a small handle) so the cams move together, then inserting it into a crack or pocket in the rock and releasing the trigger to allow the cams to expand. At this point the climbing rope can be attached to a sling and carabiner at the end of the stem. A pull on the rope, such as that generated by a climber falling, will cause a properly placed SLCD to convert the pulling force...

Das Problem der Gemischbildung in Diesel- und OTTO-Motoren besteht in der Bereitstellung eines gasformigen zundfahigen Gemisches aus Kraftstoffdampf und Luft. Die dabei zur Verfugung stehende kleine Gemischbildungszeit erfordert eine sehr schnelle Verdampfung des flussigen Energietragers. Sie wird erreicht durch die enorme Vergrosserung der Flache fur den Warme- und Stofftransport im Spruhstrahl der Flussigkeit. Die Strahlcharakteristiken, wie Geschwindigkeit und Durchmesser der Tropfen sowie Tropfendichte werden daher neben der Ladungsbewegung, dem Zylinderdruck und der lokalen Temperaturverteilung im Brennraum die Gemischbildung beeinflussen. Aus dieser Notwendigkeit heraus ist die vorliegende Arbeit entstanden. Sie konzentriert sich...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A spy ship or reconnaissance vessel is a dedicated ship intended to gather intelligence, usually by means of sophisticated electronic eavesdropping. In a wider sense, any ship intended to clandestinely gather information could be considered a spy ship. Spy ships are usually controlled by a nation's government, due to the high costs and advanced equipment required. They tend to be parts of the nation's navy, though they may also be operated by secret services. Naval trawlers masquerade as civilian ships such as fishing trawlers, which could be reasonably expected to remain in a certain area for a long time. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга...

A squad automatic weapon (SAW, also known as section automatic weapon or light support weapon) is a weapon designed to give infantry squads or sections a compact and mobile source of suppressive fire. SAWs are usually equipped with a bipod for stabilization and fire the same cartridge as the assault rifles carried by other members of the unit. This reduces logistical requirements by making it necessary to supply only one type of ammunition to a unit. SAWs are light enough to be carried by one man, as opposed to heavy machine guns such as the Browning M2, which fire more powerful cartridges but require a crew to operate at full effectiveness.
