High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A trench is a type of excavation or depression in the ground. Trenches are generally defined by being deeper than they are wide (as opposed to a wider gully or ditch), and by being narrow compared to their length (as opposed to a simple hole). Trenches have long been used to carry water. Trenches can be used for draining purposes, leading water away from a swamp or wetland that is to be dried out. Likewise they can be used for irrigation purposes, directing water into dry areas. Both uses generally require a slope for the water to flow down. Archeologists may use the 'trench method', pioneered by Dame Kathleen Kenyon in Israel, for searching and excavating ancient ruins or to dig into strata of...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tri-band phones (also known as triband) are mobile phones that support three frequency bands. Having more than one frequency in one device is useful to enable roaming between different countries and continents. Tri-band technology is slowly becoming the norm among many manufacturers.Various countries use different frequency bands for their mobile networks and a tri-band phone can be used on three of these bands, generally speaking, chosen to favour two of the home country's bands, and one for roaming in other countries.2G Tri-band phones are mobile phones that support the GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz bands commonly sold in Europe, Asia and Africa, (for example the LG KE820 is a tri-band mobile phone...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Trial was a ship that was seized by convicts and eventually wrecked on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia in 1816. The Trial was a brig owned by the merchant Simeon Lord. While waiting near the Sow and Pigs Reef in Port Jackson for good winds to take it to Port Dalrymple it was seized by a group of thirteen convicts. The ship was sailed northwards but was wrecked some 97 kilometres (60 mi) north of Port Stephens in what is now called Trial Bay. The survivors of the wreck constructed a new boat out of the remains of the ship but, according to the local aborigines, the ship capsized and all thirteen convicts were drowned. The master of the ship, William Bennett, his crew and...

To improve crash worthiness and fuel economy, the automotive industry is using increasingly Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS). Forming AHSS often causes lubricant film break down and galling that increases scrap rates and tool maintenance cost. This book introduces a model developed to predict the severity of galling for given lubricants, die materials and coatings in forming galvanized AHSS. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and various experiments were conducted to develop a galling prediction model. The prediction model considered the empirical relationships between galling and important tribological parameters (e.g. interface pressure, sliding length, surface roughness, lubricant viscosity, hardness of zinc-coatings and tool coatings)...

Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is an indispensable step in the manufacturing of semiconductor integrated circuits. It can be used to remove a large variety of dielectric and metallization materials such as silicon, silicon oxide, tungsten, copper, aluminum and is currently the technique that can achieve unmatched global planarization of semiconductor wafers. In meeting the requirements for difficult to polish low-k materials, CMP is set to remain as a key process in the semiconductor industry for at least another decade. Despite its success, the physical phenomena of the process are still not well understood. This book presents a fundamental study from a tribological perspective and unveils the complex interplay of fluid pressure,...

A player using a trigger strategy initially cooperates but punishes the opponent if a certain level of defection (i.e., the trigger) is observed. The level of punishment and the sensitivity of the trigger vary with different trigger strategies. Trigger strategies * Tit for Tat (the punishment continues as long as the other player defects) * Tit for Two Tats (a more forgiving variant of tit for tat) * Grim trigger (the punishment continues indefinitely after the other player defects just once, until death of the player playing it, causing massive damage to any players who are juveniles in the population,...

Trilinear filtering is an extension of the bilinear texture filtering method, which also performs linear interpolation between mipmaps.Bilinear filtering has several weaknesses that make it an unattractive choice in many cases: using it on a full-detail texture when scaling to a very small size causes accuracy problems from missed texels, and compensating for this by using multiple mipmaps throughout the polygon leads to abrupt changes in blurriness, which is most pronounced in polygons that are steeply angled relative to the camera.

It was conducted by the United States on July 16, 1945, at a location 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico on the White Sands Proving Ground, headquartered near Alamogordo. Trinity was a test of an implosion-design plutonium device. Using the same conceptual design, the Fat Man device was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9. The Trinity detonation was equivalent to the explosion of around 20 kilotons of TNT and is usually considered the beginning of the Atomic Age. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The trireme is a class of warship used by the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean, especially the Phoenicians, ancient Greeks and Romans. In English, no differentiation is made between the Greek tri?r?s and the Latin triremis. This is sometimes a source of confusion, as in other languages these terms refer to different styles of ships. The trireme derives its name from its three rows of oars on each side, manned with one man per oar. The early trireme was a development of the penteconter, an ancient warship with a single row of 25 oars on each side, and of the bireme, a warship with two banks of oars, probably of Phoenician origin. As a ship it was fast and agile, and became the dominant...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In topology, a topological space with the trivial topology is one where the only open sets are the empty set and the entire space. Such a space is sometimes called an indiscrete space, and its topology sometimes called an indiscrete topology. Intuitively, this has the consequence that all points of the space are "lumped together" and cannot be distinguished by topological means; it belongs to a pseudometric space in which the distance between any two points is zero. The trivial topology is the topology with the least possible number of open sets, since the definition of a topology requires these two sets to be open. Despite its simplicity, a space X with more than one element and the trivial...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Trombe wall is a sun-facing wall developed by the French engineer Felix Trombe 1956 in Font-Romeu-Odeillo-Via, and is built from material that can act as a thermal mass (such as stone, metal, concrete, adobe or water tanks), combined with an air space, insulated glazing and vents to form a large solar thermal collector. This idea was popularized as a glazed, heavy wall. During the day, sunlight would shine through the insulated glazing and warm the surface of the thermal mass. At night, heat would escape from the thermal mass, primarily to the outside. Because of the insulating glazing, the average temperature of the thermal mass can be significantly above the average outdoor temperature. If...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer was a home computer launched in 1980. Despite the name, the "Color Computer" was a radical departure from earlier TRS-80 Models - in particular it had a Motorola 6809E processor, rather than the TRS-80's Zilog Z80.The Motorola 6809E was a very advanced processor, but was correspondingly more expensive than other more popular microprocessors. Competing machines such as the Commodore VIC-20, the Commodore 64, the Atari 400, and the Atari 800 were designed around a combination of the much cheaper 6502, paired with dedicated sound and graphics chips and were much more commercially successful in the 1980s home computer market.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Truck bedliners are coverings that protect the inner-side of a truck bed from damage and can prevent fine-grained cargo such as sand from sifting between the sides and the rear door. Such bedliners are of two types: the plastic drop-in and the "spray on" type."Spray On" or "Spray In" (these terms are used interchangeably in the industry) come in two classes of material: aromatic and aliphatic compounds. Both offer similar protection.Aromatic is generally used for black and darker colors, and is the least expensive option. Aliphatic can be a better option for colors because it is UV stable. It is produced with pure polyurethane, driving cost up approximately 35%. Aliphatic materials can be...

This work attempts to improve the modeling of statewide truck travel demand models by using commodity flow data from the Census, a private database (TRANSEARCH), and Input-Output (I-O) coefficients. The model developed adapted the four- stage Urban Transportation Planning modeling process to the state level and estimated trips for heavy trucks. Production and attraction rates in tons were derived at the county level using employment for 28 manufacture sectors. Annual tons at the county-level were converted to daily truck trips which were further disaggregated to the Traffic Analysis Zone level using zonal population as the disaggregation factor. An economic-based Input-Output software was used to derive the I-O direct matrix and the I-O...

Today’s truck configurations, weights, dimensions, axle types, axle loads, tire types, and tire pressures are very different from those used in earlier studies. Thus, their impacts on pavements must be studied and re-examined. Also the traditional use of load equivalencies in determining the impacts of these trucks is questionable. The problem being researched in this book pertains to developing an improved understanding of heavy vehicles, environment, and highway pavement interactions, and using that understanding to assess impacts of alternative truck configurations and develop LEFs. A 3D finite element program is used to model moving truck loadings on highway pavement systems under various environmental conditions. The pavement...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The language TQBF is a formal language in computer science that contains True Quantified Boolean Formulas. A fully quantified boolean formula is a formula in first-order logic where every variable is quantified (or bound), using either existential or universal quantifiers, at the beginning of the sentence. Any such formula is always either true or false (since there are no free variables). If such a formula evaluates to true, then that formula is in the language TQBF. It is also known as QSAT (Quantified SAT). In computational complexity theory, the quantified Boolean formula problem (QBF) is a generalization of the Boolean satisfiability problem in which both existential quantifiers and...

It should be pointed out that as a consequence of the above Orange Book definition, the boundaries of the TCB depend closely upon the specifics of how the security policy is fleshed out. In the network server example above, even though, say, a Web server that serves a multi-user application is not part of the operating system's TCB, it has the responsibility of performing access control so that the users cannot usurp the identity and privileges of each other. In this sense, it definitely is part of the TCB of the larger computer system that comprises the UNIX server, the user's browsers and the Web application; in other words, breaching into the Web server through e.g. a buffer overflow may not...
