"Luftmensch," literally meaning "air person," is the Yiddish way of describing someone who is a bit of a dreamer. Did You Know? The word "infant" comes from the Latin word "infans" which literally means "unable to speak; speechless." ...
Several other references use the total width per tree/plant, which has no direct physical meaning in the sense of the original definition of the KC number37. Additionally, other studies show differences in flexibility and absence of extra viscous forces that influence results at a small scale....
as shown in Figs.2B and3A) to collectively co-habit a shared virtual space and undergo an embodied experience of the overlap shown in the Inclusion of Other in the Self Scale in Fig.1(albeit in 4 dimensions (x,y,z,t) rather than 2 ...
The decibel (dB) scale is logarithmic, meaning that an increase of roughly 3 dB is equivalent to doubling the pressure, expressed in Pascals. When SPL is given in decibels, we can estimate the pressure of everyday sounds, usually in the 20-100 dB range. 120 or 130 dB is the pain ...
meaning. To distinguish technologies like Isness from psychedelic technologies, Glowacki et al. coined the termnumadelic. Combining the Greek wordspneuma(πνευμα, ‘breath’, ‘spirit’, or ‘soul’) and delein (δηλεlν, ‘to reveal’, ‘to make visible’, or ‘to manifest’...
PRECISION STUDIES OF X-RAY ATTENUATION COEFFICIENTS – I DESIGN OF THE EXPERIMENTIn the following paragraphs, first (B), the meaning of an X-ray attenuation coefficient is considered from the point of view of an experimental determination of its value. Thereafter, consideration is given to the ...

Base function is adaptively generated with the signal in the EMD process. Therefore, each IMF component decomposed by the EMD contains the information on the local characteristics of the original signal and has certain physical meaning. By observing the EMD behavior, Huang et al. state that EMD ...
For both parameters, the results demonstrated that the mass needed to absorb the same amount of radiation was lower for the PbO nanoparticles, meaning that the PbO nanoparticles are more desirable in applications when mass is a concern, such as when fabricating a lead apron for instance....
In this context, the exact meaning of effective atomic number (for mixtures and compounds) is generally not well-defined. Physics-based parameterizations of the mass attenuation coefficient have been given in the past, but usually for a limited low-energy range. Definitions of Zhave been based,...
