  2. Vinyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_group

    On a carbon skeleton, sp 2-hybridized carbons or positions are often called vinylic. Allyls , acrylates and styrenics contain vinyl groups. (A styrenic crosslinker with two vinyl groups is called divinyl benzene .)

  3. Turner stability class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turner_stability_class

    Classes range from 1 (most unstable) to 7 (most stable). The Turner stability class system was devised by D. B. Turner as a modification of the Pasquill stability class system. [1] The following table is used to determine the Turner stability class for a given wind speed and net solar radiation:

  4. Phase response curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_response_curve

    Phase response curves for light and for melatonin administration. In humans and animals, there is a regulatory system that governs the phase relationship of an organism's internal circadian clock to a regular periodicity in the external environment (usually governed by the solar day).

  5. Baroclinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroclinity

    The annulus is heated at the outer wall and cooled at the inner wall, and the resulting fluid flows give rise to baroclinically unstable waves. [10] [11] The term "baroclinic" refers to the mechanism by which vorticity is generated. Vorticity is the curl of the velocity field.

  6. Photo-oxidation of polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo-oxidation_of_polymers

    Charge-transfer complexes of oxygen and polystyrene phenyl groups absorb light to form singlet oxygen, which acts as a radical initiator. [23] Carbonyl impurities in the polymer (c.f. acetophenone) also absorb light in the near ultraviolet range (300 to 400 nm), forming excited ketones able to abstract hydrogen atoms directly from the polymer. [24]

  7. Carbohydrate synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_synthesis

    Carbohydrate synthesis is a sub-field of organic chemistry concerned with generating complex carbohydrate structures from simple units (monosaccharides). The generation of carbohydrate structures usually involves linking monosaccharides or oligosaccharides through glycosidic bonds, a process called glycosylation.

  8. Calvin cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_cycle

    The Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions, bio synthetic phase, dark reactions, or photosynthetic carbon reduction (PCR) cycle [1] of photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen-carrier compounds into glucose. The Calvin cycle is present in all photosynthetic eukaryotes and also many ...

  9. Atmospheric convection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_convection

    Generally, thunderstorms require three conditions to form: moisture, an unstable airmass, and a lifting force (heat). All thunderstorms, regardless of type, go through three stages: the developing stage, the mature stage, and the dissipation stage. [11] [better source needed] The average thunderstorm has a 24 km (15 mi) diameter. Depending on ...
