  2. Bennett acceptance ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennett_acceptance_ratio

    The Bennett acceptance ratio method (BAR) is an algorithm for estimating the difference in free energy between two systems (usually the systems will be simulated on the computer). It was suggested by Charles H. Bennett in 1976.

  3. Bridgman–Stockbarger method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgman–Stockbarger_method

    The Bridgman–Stockbarger method, or Bridgman–Stockbarger technique, is named after physicist Percy Williams Bridgman (1882–1961) and physicist Donald C. Stockbarger (1895–1952). The method includes two similar but distinct techniques primarily used for growing boules (single-crystal ingots), but which can be used for solidifying ...

  4. Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic...

    An overview of absorption of electromagnetic radiation.This example shows the general principle using visible light as a specific example. A white light source—emitting light of multiple wavelengths—is focused on a sample (the pairs of complementary colors are indicated by the yellow dotted lines).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barre_(exercise)

    Barre (UK: / b ɑː /, US: / b ɑːr / bar) is a form of physical exercise, usually conducted in group classes in gyms or specialty studios. [1] It is distinguished from other group fitness activities by its use of the ballet barre and its incorporation of movements derived from ballet . [ 2 ]

  6. Minimal subtraction scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_subtraction_scheme

    In quantum field theory, the minimal subtraction scheme, or MS scheme, is a particular renormalization scheme used to absorb the infinities that arise in perturbative calculations beyond leading order, introduced independently by Gerard 't Hooft and Steven Weinberg in 1973.

  7. Charpy impact test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charpy_impact_test

    The notch in the sample affects the results of the impact test, [6] thus it is necessary for the notch to be of regular dimensions and geometry. The size of the sample can also affect results, since the dimensions determine whether or not the material is in plane strain. This difference can greatly affect the conclusions made. [7]

    Both can be mined as ore and smelted into a bar using the mining profession. Mithril also appears in the MMORPG Guild Wars 2 as a blueish-silver metal used in crafting. In Defense of the Ancients , the multiplayer online battle arena version of Warcraft, players can buy the Mithril Hammer from the Main Shop.

  9. Superabsorbent polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superabsorbent_polymer

    A SAP's ability to absorb water depends on the ionic concentration of the aqueous solution. In deionized and distilled water, a SAP may absorb 300 times its weight [4] (from 30 to 60 times its own volume) and can become up to 99.9% liquid, and when put into a 0.9% saline solution the absorbency drops to approximately 50 times its weight.
