Thulium is an easily workable metal with a bright silvery-gray luster. It is fairly soft and slowly tarnishes in air. Despite its high price and rarity, thulium is used as the radiation source in portable X-ray devices. Thulium is the thirteenth and third-last element in the lanthanide seri...

A classification of four habitat types is proposed. Class I habitats represent bodies on which stellar and geophysical conditions allow Earth-analog planets to evolve so that complex multi-cellular life forms may originate. Class II habitats includes bodies on which life may evolve but due to ...
In thermodynamics,saturationdefines a condition in which a mixture of vapor and liquid can exist together at a given temperature and pressure. The temperature at whichvaporization(boiling) starts to occur for a given pressure is called thesaturation temperatureorboiling point. The pressure at which v...
When dieting, the magnitude of the initial energy deficit is diminished over time as energy expenditure decreases due to adaptive thermogenesis (discussed later) and the loss of respiring body mass in the form of fat and some lean tissue as well [8,9]. The second law of thermodynamics ...
In such studies one problem frequently met is how to distinguish correctly {BH} and {CH} vertices, and this review begins by describing two relatively new methods, the Vertex-Centroid Distance (VCD) and Boron-Hydrogen Distance (BHD) methods, that have been developed to overcome the problem. ...
