In telecommunication, the term communications jamming (COMJAM) has the following meanings:
The aim of communications jamming is to prevent communications by electromagnetic means, or at least to degrade communications sufficiently to cause delays in transmission and reception. Jamming may be used in conjunction with deception to achieve an overall electronic counter-measure (ECM) plan implementation.
In model theory, a nonstandard model is a model of a theory that differs from (i.e. is not isomorphic to) the intended model. If the intended model is infinite, then the Löwenheim-Skolem theorems guarantee the existence of nonstandard models. The nonstandard models can be chosen as elementary extensions or elementary substructures of the intended model.
Nonstandard models are studied in set theory, non-standard analysis, and non-standard arithmetic.
Osgoldcross Rural District was a rural district in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. It was created in 1938, from 19 remaining parishes of the disbanded Pontefract Rural District after three-quarters (but only a small fraction of the area) of its population had been transferred to surrounding authorities - specifically to Castleford (which took 14,145 of the 23,981 in the district in 1931), Knottingley, and Pontefract.
It was named after the Wapentake of Osgoldcross and administered from Pontefract.
Since April 1, 1974 it has formed part of the District of Selby and the City of Wakefield.
At the time of its dissolution it consisted of the following 19 civil parishes.
All but Darrington and East Hardwick went to Selby district.
Ruled paper is writing paper that typically consists of horizontal lines meant to separate lines of written text, and vertical lines meant to provide margins. Another popular alternative, known as graph paper, is a grid layout in which horizontal and vertical lines are equally spaced, dividing the page into squares. The choice of the paper’s ruling is independent of the paper size to be used.
Ruled paper is available in a variety of semi-stardardized formats. Wide ruled paper has 11/32″ spacing between ruling lines, and is commonly used by children and those with larger handwriting. Medium or College ruled paper 9/32″ spacing between ruling lines, and is very common in the US. College professors sometimes specify the use of college ruled paper. Legal or Narrow ruled paper has 1/4″ spacing between ruling lines, and is used by those with smaller handwriting or to fit more lines per page.
Gregg ruled paper has ruling specialized for stenography. It has 11/32″ spacing between ruling lines, with a single margin (down the center of the page).
In botanical nomenclature, a valid name is a name that meets the requirements in the ICBN for valid publication. Valid publication of a name represents the minimum requirements for a botanical name to exist: therefore a botanical name inescapably is always valid. If a name is not validly published then it is not a botanical name. Thus an “invalid name” is not a botanical name: as far as the ICBN is concerned an invalid name has the same status as a common name, a vernacular name, etc. That is: it has no status.
Nevertheless invalid names are somewhat in use, this may occur when a taxonomists finds and recognises a taxon and thinks of a name, but delays in publishing this in an adequate manner. A common reason for this is that a taxonomist intends to write a magnum opus that provides an overview of the group he is working on, rather than a series of small papers. In practice this causes problems.

Computer-aided- or Computer-assisted- is a prefix that hints to the use of a computer as an indispensable tool in a certain field, usually derived from more traditional fields of science and engineering. Instead of the prefix computer aided or computer-assisted, in some cases the suffix management system is used.
In engineering and computing, a stovepipe system is a legacy system that is an assemblage of inter-related elements that are so tightly bound together that the individual elements cannot be differentiated, upgraded or refactored. The stovepipe system must be maintained until it can be entirely replaced by a new system.
Examples of stovepipe systems:
The term is also used to describe a system that does not interoperate with other
systems, presuming instead that it is the only extant system.
A stovepipe system is an example of an anti-pattern legacy system and demonstrates software brittleness.
Stovepipes are “systems procured and developed to solve a specific problem, characterized by a limited focus and functionality, and containing data that cannot be easily shared with other systems.” (DOE 1999)

Monopulse radar is an adaptation of conical scanning radar which sends additional information in the radar signal in order to avoid problems caused by rapid changes in signal strength. The system also makes jamming more difficult. Most radars designed since the 1960s are monopulse systems.
Conical scan systems work by sending out a signal slightly to one side of the antenna’s boresight, and then rotating the feed horn to make the lobe rotate around the boresight line. A target centered on the boresight is always slightly illuminated by the lobe, and provides a strong return. If the target is to one side, it will be illuminated only when the lobe is pointed in that general direction, resulting in a weaker signal overall (or a flashing one if the rotation is slow enough) with the maximum return in the direction the antenna should be moved.
One problem with this approach is that radar signals often change in amplitude for reasons that have nothing to do with beam alignment. Over the period of a few tenths of seconds, for instance, changes in target heading, clouds and other issues can dramatically affect the returned signal. Since conical scanning systems depend on the signal growing a weakening due only to the lobe position, such changes in reflected signal can cause it to be “confused” about the position of the target within the lobe’s scanning area.
Monopulse radar avoids this problem by always comparing the signal against the signal, as opposed to the mechanical position of the antenna. Monopulse radars split the beam into parts, and then compares the signal strength of the parts when they return. That means the comparison always takes place based on the reflection of a single pulse, and hence the name “monopulse”. The signal can then be rotated as in a conical scanning system, changes in signal strength over the rotation period will have no effect because those comparisons are not made.
In effect a conical scanning system displays the strength of the signal “now” as opposed to “then”, over time. Monopulse systems compare a single pulse with itself, so there is no time delay in which the signal strength can change. Changes in signal strength during the pulse are possible, but as these are normally only a few microseconds long, simple effects like changes in direction will be far too slow to confuse the monopulse receiver.
Making such a comparison requires that different parts of the beam be distinguished from each other. Normally this is achieved by splitting the pulse into two parts and polarizing each one separately before sending it to a set of slightly off-axis feed horns. This results in a set of lobes, usually two, overlapping on the boresight. On reception, the signals are separated again, and then one signal is inverted and the two are then summed. If the target is to one side of the boresight the resulting sum will be positive, if on the other, negative, a signal that can be amplified and sent directly to the pointing motors.
Monopulse radar was extremely “high tech” when it was first introduced in 1943 in a Naval Research Laboratory experiment. As a result, it was very expensive and generally more difficult to maintain. It was only used when extreme accuracy was needed that the cost was justified. Early uses included the Nike Ajax missile, which demanded very high accuracy, or for tracking radars used for measuring various rocket launches. One of the larger installations first appeared in the 1970s as the US Navy’s AN/SPY-1 radar used on the Aegis Combat System. Over time the cost of implementing a monopulse tracker has fallen, and the technology is today found in practically all modern radars, even those used in disposable ordinance like missiles.

Environmental scanning is a concept from business management by which businesses gather information from the environment, to better achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. To sustain competitive advantage the company must also respond to the information gathered from environmental scanning by altering its strategies and plans when the need arises.
There are three ways of scanning the business environment:
Most commentators feel that in today’s turbulent business environment the best scanning method available is continuous scanning.This allows the firm to act quickly, take advantage of opportunities before competitors do, and respond to environmental threats before significant damage is done.
Environmental scanning usually refers just to the macroenvironment, but it can also include industry and competitor analysis, consumer analysis, product innovations, and the company’s internal environment. Macroenvironmental scanning involves analysing:
Scanning these macroenvironmental variables for threats and opportunities requires that each issue be rated on two dimensions. It must be rated on its potential impact on the company, and rated on its likeliness of occurrence. Multiplying the potential impact parameter by the likeliness of occurrence parameter gives us a good indication of its importance to the firm.
When an issue is detected, there are generally six ways of responding to them:
How do we then analyse a retail business using this strategy?
TclX extends the Tcl programming language by providing new operating system interface commands, extended file control, scanning and status commands and many others. Much of TclX has been incorporated into Tcl.
TclX was developed by Karl Lehenbauer and Mark Diekhans.
Nuclear density is the density of the nucleus of an atom, averaging about 1018 kgm-3. The descriptive term nuclear density is also applied to situations where similarly high densities occur, such as within neutron stars.
The nuclear density in a typical nucleus can be calculated from the size of the nucleus. The radius of a typical nucleus is
<math>R=A^{1/3}r_0</math>
where <math>r_0</math> is 1.25 fm, with deviations of 0.2 fm from this value. The nucleons density <math>n</math> satisfies
Therefore <math>n = {3\over 4\pi {r_0}^3} = 0.122 fm^{-3} = 1.22 \cdot 10^{44} m^{-3}</math>.
The mass density given above is the product of this by the nucleon mass <math>1.67 10^{-27} kg</math>.
The components of an atom and of an atomic nucleus have varying densities. The proton is not a fundamental particle, being composed of quark-gluon matter. Its size is approximately 10-15 meters and its density 1018 kgm-3. Using deep inelastic scattering, it has been estimated that the “size” of an electron, if it is not a point particle, must be less than 10-17 meters. This would correspond to a density of roughly 1021 kgm-3.
Probing deeper within particles, one finds quarks which appear to be very dense and very hard. There are possibilities for still higher densities when it comes to quark matter, gluon matter, or neutrino matter. In the immediate future, the highest experimentally measurable densities will likely be limited to leptons and quarks.

Industrial action (UK) or job action (US) refers collectively to any measure taken by trade unions or other organised labour meant to reduce productivity in a workplace. Quite often it is used and interpreted, mistakenly, as a euphemism for strike, but the scope is much wider. Industrial action may take place in the context of a labour dispute or may be meant to effect political or social change. Specifically industrial action may include one or more of the following:
Cable telephony is a specialized form of digital telephony over cable TV networks accomplished by installing a special telephone interface at the customer’s premises that converts the analog signals from the customer’s in-home wiring into a digital signal, which is then sent over the cable connection to the company’s switching center, where it is connected to the PSTN.
The biggest obstacle to cable telephone service is the need for nearly 100% reliable service for emergency calls. PacketCable, one of the emerging standards being developed for digital cable telephony, seems to be the most promising and able to work with the Quality of Service demands of traditional analog telephone service.
The biggest advantage to digital cable telephone service is similar to the advantage of digital cable television, namely that data can be compressed, resulting in much less bandwidth used than a dedicated analog circuit-switched service. Other advantages include better voice quality and perhaps future integration to a VoIP network providing cheap or unlimited nationwide and international calling. Note that in most cases, digital cable telephone service is separate from broadband internet service being offered by many cable companies and does not rely on TCP/IP traffic or the Internet.

Average fixed cost (AFC) is an economics term to describe the total fixed costs (TFC) divided by the number of units produced.
<math>\left ( \frac{TFC}{Q} \right ) = AFC</math>; TFC = total fixed cost, Q = quantity of units produced
Average variable cost plus average fixed cost equals average total cost.
The nano-abacus is a nano-sized abacus developed by IBM scientist. Stable rows made up of ten molecules act as the railings of the abacus.

The nano-abacus has the potential to be used in a variety of nanotechnological inventions such as the nano-computer. [1]
Envolution is a content management system that began as a fork of PostNuke.
Envolution created and developed a smarty based templating engine named “Encompass”. Emcompass was later combined with “envRender”, another Envolution-developed work.
The Envolution Project formally disbanded as a community project in 2003. Afterwards, the group became the Envolution Software business entity. Envolution Software serves as a holding company for various other projects and products.
A product requirements document (PRD) is used in product marketing to plan and execute new products. A PRD is often created after a marketing requirements document (MRD) has been written and been given approval by management, and is usually written before (or at least concurrently with) a technical requirements document. It is designed to allow people within a company to understand what a product should do and how it should work. PRDs are most frequently written for software products, but can be used for any type of product.
Typical components of a software product requirements document are:
Not all PRDs have all of these components. In particular, PRDs for other types of products (manufactured goods, etc.) will eliminate the software-specific elements from the list above, and may add in additional elements that pertain to their domain, e.g. manufacturing requirements.
A PRD sometimes serves as a marketing requirements document as well, particularly if the product is small or uncomplicated.

The quantum yield of a radiation-induced process is the number of times that a defined event occurs per photon absorbed by the system. Thus, the quantum yield is a measure of the efficiency with which absorbed light produces some effect.
For example, in a chemical photodegradation process, when a molecule falls apart after absorbing a light quantum, the quantum yield is the number of destroyed molecules divided by the number of photons absorbed by the system. Since not all photons are absorbed productively, the typical quantum yield will be less than 1.
Quantum yields greater than 1 are possible for photo-induced or radiation-induced chain reactions, in which a single photon may trigger a long chain of transformations. One example is the reaction of hydrogen with chlorine, in which a few hundred molecules of hydrochloric acid are typically formed per quantum of blue light absorbed.
In optical spectroscopy, the quantum yield is the probability that a given quantum state is formed from the system initially prepared in some other quantum state. For example, a singlet to triplet transition quantum yield is the fraction of molecules that, after being photoexcited into a singlet state, cross over to the triplet state. The fluorescence quantum yield is defined as the ratio of the number of photons emitted to the number of photons absorbed.
Quantum Efficiency
A eurodistrict is a European administrative entity that contains urban agglomerations which lie across the border between two or more states. A eurodistrict offers a program for cooperation and integration of the towns or communes which it comprises: for example, improving transport links for people who live and work on different sides of the border. Furthermore, it confers a trans-national regional identity and represents European integration.
The first Eurodistricts created or currently undergoing creation are:
They may be established:
Note that transfrontier cooperation methods between regions known as euroregions exist in parallel to eurodistricts, which are generally urban. Furthermore, a eurodistrict can be located within a euroregion and even have certain connections with it.
The term eurodistrict is quite new and has not been defined by organisations like the Council of Europe or the European Union.
Bitmap textures are digital images representing a surface, a material, a pattern or even a picture, generated by an artist or designer using a bitmap editor software such as Adobe Photoshop or Gimp or simply by scanning an image and, if necessary, retouching it on a personal computer.
Textures can be built as a large image, larger than the final destination (such a page, for example) so as to fill the complete area without repeating the image (thus avoiding visible seams). Also bitmap textures can be created to be used as repetitive patterns to fill an infinite area. The borders of these patterns or small textures should be treated to give a seamless appearance when applied to an image, unless, of course, the seam is something to be shown.
When designed for print, textures should be created in high-resolution in order to achieve good results in the final print.
On the other side, if these textures are meant to be used in multimedia, 3d animation or web design, they should be created in a maximum resolution that equals the one of the final display (Tv, computer monitor, movie projector, etc.).
If creating a texture with a computer is not an option, then textures can be obtained by purchasing stock images collections, which are expensive but often of a professional quality.

Pulses are defined by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as annual leguminous crops yielding from one to twelve grains or seeds of variable size, shape and color within a pod. Pulses are used for food and animal feed.
The term pulses, as used by the FAO, is reserved for crops harvested solely for the dry grain. This therefore excludes green beans and green peas, which are considered vegetable crops.
Also excluded are crops which are mainly grown for oil extraction (oilseeds like soybeans and peanuts), and crops which are used exclusively for sowing (clovers, alfalfa).
Pulses are important food crops due to their high protein and essential amino acid content.
Like many leguminous crops, pulses play a key role in crop rotation due to their ability to fix nitrogen.
India is both the world’s largest producer and the world’s largest importer of pulses.
Canada, Myanmar, Australia and the United States are significant exporters of pulses. These are the four most significant suppliers of India’s imports, in that order.
The vast majority of leguminous crops grown in the United States are soybeans, used as livestock feed and for extraction of vegetable oil, and peanuts, neither of which is considered a pulse.
FAO recognizes 11 primary pulses.
Pulses are 20 to 25% protein by weight, which is double the protein content of wheat and three times that of rice. For this reason, pulses are sometimes called “poor man’s meat”. While pulses are generally high in protein, and the digestibility of that protein is also high, they often are relatively poor in the essential amino acid methionine. Grains (which are themselves deficient in lysine) are commonly consumed along with pulses to form a complete protein.
In econometrics a dynamic factor (also known as a diffusion index) is a series which measures the co-movement of many time series. It is used in macroeconomic models.

Ricco’s Law explains the visual relationship between a target area and target contrast required for detection. It is shown below
<math>log (Contrast) = K - log(Area) </math>
Ricco’s Law is applicable for regions where the target being detected is unresolved. This region is variable based on the amount of background luminance. Ricco’s Law is based on the fact that the ‘Signal’ of the target being detected is proportional to the threshold contrast multiplied by the area. Therefore, the contrast threshold required for detection is proportional to the signal to noise ratio multiplied by the noise divided by the area. This leads to the above equation.
The Industrial Relations Act 1971 was an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom, since repealed. It was referred to as 1971 c. 72 (the 72nd Act of the United Kingdom Parliament enacted in 1971), and was largely based on proposals outlined in the governing Conservative Party’s manifesto for the 1970 general election. The act was highly controversial and was repealed in 1974 when the Labour Party returned to government.
The law limited wildcat strikes and prohibited limitations on legitimate strikes. It also established the National Industrial Relations Court, which was empowered to grant injunctions as necessary to prevent injurious strikes and also to settle a variety of labour disputes. The Act repealed portions of the Trade Disputes and Trade Unions Act 1927, which prohibited general strikes.
The Trades Union Congress under the leadership of General Secretary Vic Feather campaigned against the legislation with a nationwide “Kill the Bill” campaign. [1] On 12 January, 1971 the TUC held a ‘day of action’ in protest, with a march through London. In March, 1,500,000 members of the Amalgamated Engineering Union staged a one day strike. After the Bill received Royal Assent, in September 1971 the TUC voted to require its member unions not to comply with its provisions (including registering as a union under the Act). The Transport and General Workers Union was twice fined for contempt of court over its refusal to comply. However, some smaller unions did comply and 32 were suspended from membership of the TUC at the 1972 congress.
Campaigning against the Bill eventually coalesced around individual workers. When the Pentonville Five were arrested for refusing to appear before the National Industrial Relations Court and imprisoned in the summer of 1972, their case received great publicity. Eventually, the Official Solicitor intervened to order their release.
Prime Minister Edward Heath called a general election over the issue of “Who Governs Britain?” in February 1974, during a lengthy dispute with the National Union of Mineworkers. Two days before polling day, the Director-General of the Confederation of British Industry Campbell Adamson made a speech in which he said “I should like to see the next government repeal the Act so that we can get proper agreement on what should replace it”. Adamson’s statement made headlines, and was thought to have damaged the Conservative Party’s election prospects. Adamson’s statement was repudiated by CBI President Sir Michael Clapham, and he offered to resign (the offer was refused).
The incoming Labour government repealed the Act through the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1974.
Drainage density is the total length of all the streams and rivers in a drainage basin divided by the total area of the drainage basin.
This can effect the shape of a river’s hydrograph. Rivers that have a high drainage density will often have a more ‘flashy’ hydrograph with a steep falling limb. High densities can also cause a greater flood risk.
A Core Strategy Document is the key compulsory Local Development Document specified in United Kingdom planning law. Every other Local Development Document is built on the principles it sets out, regarding the development and use of land in a Local Planning Authority’s area. The principles should be in accordance with the Community strategy.
Additional to the requirements of all Local Development Documents, Core Strategies:-
Footprinting is the technique of gathering information about computer systems and the entities they belong to. This is done by employing various computer security techniques, as:
When used in the computer security lexicon, “footprinting” generally refers to one of the pre-attack phases; tasks performed prior to doing the actual attack. Some of the tool used for footprinting are samspade, nslookup, traceroute, Nmap and neotrace.

Nervous Gender is a punk band founded in Los Angeles, California in 1978 by Gerardo Velazquez, Edward Stapleton, Phranc and Michael Ochoa.
Their use of heavily distorted keyboards and synthesizers made them, along with the Screamers, one of the original innovators of what is today called “Synthpunk”, although they could equally be considered an early industrial group. The group was confrontational and experimental.
Phranc’s androgynous appearance was the embodiment of the group’s name and garnered the band much press in zines such as Slash. Despite their somewhat high profile, the groups’ habit of provoking the audience, obscene material and harsh erotics guaranteed they would never gain commercial acceptance. At their first show in 1979, a benefit for the Women’s Video Center, Phranc called the audience “pussies” and “dykes” when the band was requested to stop playing, and songs like “Jesus Clone”, contained lyrics such as “Jesus was a cocksucking Jew”.
In 1979, Don Bolles of The Germs joined as drummer. The next year Phranc left the band and Paul Roessler of the Screamers joined. At this time they recorded the tracks for the compilation Live At Target, released as an LP and a video, both seminal not only in the punk scene but also as early industrial recordings; fellow contributors Factrix and Zev (listed on this recording as “UNS”) were early industrial acts, and Nervous Gender found more acceptance among that scene initially. All the artists involved in Live At Target were experimenting with atonality, noise and concepts not common until post-punk groups emerged later. Nervous Gender played with bands such as SPK, Factrix, Non, Einsturzende Neubauten, and Psychic TV during the early 1980s.
In 1981 they released their LP Music From Hell, which included guest vocalist Alice Bag from The Bags singing on “Alice’s Song”. Nervous Gender did not record in the studio again. After the LP came out, Paul Roessler moved to New York to play with the Nina Hagen Band and was replaced by Bill Cline, and Don Bolles left the band to play with 45 Grave. He was replaced by an eight-year-old boy, Sven Pfeiffer. In 1982, Sven’s mother took the young drummer back to live in Germany. During their career Nervous Gender was called by one critic, “…the thorn in the side of the L.A. music scene…”.
During the mid 80s, the band was on the verge of breaking up when members of Wall of Voodoo Bruce Moreland, Marc Moreland and Chas Grey, who were fans, stepped in and offered to collaborate with them. It was at this point that a guitar-driven version of Nervous Gender emerged. During this time Dinah Cancer of 45 Grave was a frequent guest performer with them, and they played shows with bands such as Christian Death, Super Heroines, Kommunity FK and Gobsheit (a side project of Stapleton’s with Patrice Repose) at venues such as the Anti Club. In 1988, Edward Stapleton played his last show with the band.
In early 1990, original members Gerardo Velasquez and Michael Ochoa along with Joe Zinnato (a long time Ochoa collaborator) revived Nervous Gender as a trio. This formation did a series of 8 performances, and were working on what would have been the final Nervous Gender album (working title “American Regime”) with producer Paul Cutler ( of 45 Grave). The final performance of Nervous Gender was on August 26, 1991 at Club A.S.S. in Silverlake, CA. Gerardo Velasquez died on March 28, 1992, at age 33.
After Gerardo’s death, members Ochoa and Zinnato, with the addition of singer Claire Lawrence - Slater (of Honeymoon Killers, Huge Killer Ships), formed “HighHeelTitWig” a punk-industrial-pop-grunge hybrid, which played a series of shows. In 1995 Joe Zinnato suffered a serious stroke which put an end to musical activities.
As of 2005, Edward Stapleton, Michael Ochoa and Joe Zinnato were reviewing all of the Nervous Gender material (studio, live and rehearsal recordings and performance videos) with an eye towards releasing a NG retospective. At this time, Edward Stapleton (with Karene Stapleton) also recorded under the name Kali’s Thugs.

Simplified Planning Zones (SPZs) are zones of land in the United Kingdom earmarked for specific development where the planning process is relaxed in order to encourage development. Advice on SPZs is given in Planning Policy Statement 5 PPG 5
Simplified Planning Zones together with Local Development Orders are an optional part of the Local Development Documents required by the Local Development Framework.
debhelper is a suite of programs originally written by Joey Hess that help a Debian packager write a rules files. A rules file is a makefile that contains instructions for building and creating a Debian package.
There are many tasks that need to be performed over and over again in the rules files. Instead of cutting and pasting code to do these tasks, debhelper allows a packager to simply call one of its 51 programs to do the task for them.
debhelper can greatly simplify things. Debian includes packages of GNU hello made both with and without debhelper as examples for packagers. The rules file that does not use debhelper is 1,978 characters. In contrast, the version that uses debhelper is 1,022 characters.
Related to debhelper, there is also a tool called dh_make. dh_make copies templates of all of the files needed to build a debian package to the source directory of a program. These templates are customized slightly based on information that the user gives and on a cursory examination of how the source code is built. After running dh_make, a developer still has to edit most of the template files to be able to build the package.
Although closely related to it, dh_make is not part of debhelper; it was separately developed by Craig Small.
Carrier-to-receiver noise density ( C /k T ): In satellite communications, the ratio of the received carrier power to the receiver noise power density.
Note 1: The carrier-to-receiver noise density ratio is usually expressed in dB.
Note 2: The carrier-to-receiver noise density is given by C /kT, where C is the received carrier power in watts, k is Boltzmann’s constant in joules per kelvin, and T is the receiver system noise temperature in kelvins.
Note 3: The receiver noise power density, kT, is the receiver noise power per hertz.

A kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm2), often just kilogram per square centimeter (kg/cm2), is a unit of pressure using metric units. Its use is now deprecated; it is not a part of the International System of Units (SI), the modern metric system. The unit is similar to the English unit psi (lbf/in2).
In SI units, the unit is converted to the SI derived unit pascal (Pa), which is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m2). A newton is equal to a kg·m/s2, and a kilogram-force is 9.80665 newtons, meaning that 1 kgf/cm2 equals 98.0665 kilopascals.
In some older publications, kilogram-force per square centimeter is abbreviated ksc instead of kg/cm2.
Still, kg/cm2 remains active as a measurement of force primarily due to older torque measurement devices still in use.

A CTQ Tree (Critical to Quality Tree) is used to decompose broad customer requirements into more easily quantified requirements. CTQ Trees are often used in the Six Sigma methodology.
A CTQ tree decomposes a general, hard to measure requirement on the left, through several steps, into more specific, easy to measure variables on the right. It can be a simple, useful tool when the customer requirements are unspecified, broad, or difficult to measure. Sometimes this decomposition can be via mathematically combinable numbers (profit decomposed into price and cost), but sometimes the variables cannot be directly combined mathematically (customer service decomposed into short wait and friendly staff). A CTQ tree is a quick tool generally used near the beginning of a project, with a focus of discovering measurable critical-to-quality requirements, and not fully exploring the causes that influence those measures. It should not be confused with the Cause-and-Effects diagram, sometimes referred to as the fishbone or Ishikawa diagram.
BAE Systems Submarine Solutions, until 2003 a unit within BAE Systems Marine, is responsible for the development and production of the Astute class submarine. At the same time BAE Systems Naval Ships was formed to operate the shipbuilding capabilities of BAE Systems.
The submarines are constructed at BAE Systems’ yard at Barrow-in-Furness. The Astute class is a new generation of nuclear attack submarine (SSN) for the Royal Navy. The order for the initial batch of three ships was place in 1997, with Marconi Marine (VSEL), since absorbed into BAE Systems.
A National Security Advisor serves as the chief advisor to a national government on matters of security. He or she is not usually a member of the cabinet but is usually a member of various military or security councils.
Step into Christmas is a Christmas song written and performed by Elton John, released in 1973. Though it was originally released as a stand-alone single in 1973 with the B-Side “Ho! Ho! Ho! Who’d Be a Turkey at Christmas”, it was later included as a bonus track on the 1996 remastered reissue of the album Caribou. It also appears on the albums Elton John’s Christmas Party, Rare Masters, To Be Continued, and The Best Christmas Album In The World…Ever!.
It was covered by the band The Wedding Present on their 1992 album Hit Parade II, and also covered by The Business for the ‘Bollocks to Christmas’ EP.
In physics, the Standard Model of particle physics is currently the best description of all experimental data.
Nevertheless, there are reasons to believe that there are phenomena that are not accurately described by this theory and
“Beyond the Standard Model” physics studies possible extensions to the Standard Model that will be probed in
up-coming experiments.
There are several areas where beyond the Standard Model physics focuses.
In addition to these subjects, there are also attempts at relating different phenomena and parameters to a more
fundamental theory. A partial classification of these attempts are
The JW Marriott Kuwait City, formerly Kuwait City’s Le Meridien hotel, was taken over by Marriott International in November, 2002, and was rebranded on January 1, 2003.
In 1980, Le Meridien Kuwait opened to international acclaim as one of the most luxurious hotels in the area, and as one of the first international-class hotels in Kuwait.
In 1990, the hotel’s lobby and first floor were set on fire by invading Iraqi soldiers. Following the Invasion, the damaged areas were restored and reconstructed to reopen to guests.
In 2003, the hotel served as a major hub for visiting journalists during the war in Iraq. Severe security measures were undertaken at the hotel, including the scanning of all incoming vehicles, passing through metal detectors, luggage scanning, identity tests, and the parking of vehicles several meters from the hotel’s entrance and porte cochère.
Since January 1, 2003 the hotel has embarked on a multi-million dollar renovation, which included the refurbishment of the hotel’s lobby, restaurants, health facilities, and all guest rooms. Further changes involved the addition of a new logo on the building’s exterior.
With the refurbishment now complete, the hotel is one of the city’s most luxurious, offering contemporary and state-of-the-art facilities such as a modern, fully-equipped health club with a beautifully decorated indoor pool, intimate restaurants, and superior service to all guests and visitors.
The hotel has 315 rooms, including seventy-five suites. All rooms measure upwards of thirty-seven square meters, and include Marriott’s ultra-luxury new bedding. The hotel will soon implement Marriott’s new in-room technology including a thirty-two-inch plasma HDTV. ll rooms also feature large bathrooms with separate bathtubs and rain showers.
In 2005, the hotel was named “Best Business Hotel of the Year.”

The Linux Incompatibility List is a wiki site aimed to document hardware that is not compatible with Linux, counter to traditional listings of hardware that is (such as hardware compatibility lists), the thought being that so many things work with Linux that it’s easier to track the few, new things that don’t work than all the things that do. It is hoped that with time, as Linux becomes more mainstream, that the need for this list will eventually disappear altogether, but that probably won’t be for a while.
It is hoped that the listing of hardware on the site could be used to promote companies and hardware that is compatible with Linux, and to encourage hardware manufacturers to consider further compatibility with Linux.
