  2. List of traffic separation schemes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Traffic_Separation...

    Some 15 TSS schemes can be found in this area: in the Red Sea is traffic using the Suez Channel while in the Persian Gulf much of the traffic comprises the (large) oil and gas tankers to Iran and Iraq. All TSS's here are governed by the IMO, except the Approaches to Yanbu which is the responsibility of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Gulf of Suez

    Other TSSs are in place off Land's End and around Ouessant . Well-known TSS locations include the English Channel , German Bight , Singapore , and Cape Horn . The Dover Strait/Détroit du Pas de Calais was the first International Maritime Organisation (IMO) approved traffic separation scheme in the world in 1967.

  4. Total suspended solids - Wikipedia

    At the lower end, TSS relies on a cut-off established by properties of the filter being used. At the upper end, the cut-off should be the exclusion of all particulates too large to be "suspended" in water. However, this is not a fixed particle size but is dependent upon the energetics of the situation at the time of sampling: moving water ...

    Classical physics traditionally includes the fields of mechanics, optics, electricity, magnetism, acoustics and thermodynamics.The term Modern physics is normally used for fields which rely heavily on quantum theory, including quantum mechanics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, particle physics and condensed matter physics.

  6. Cutoff (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutoff_(physics)

    In theoretical physics, cutoff (AE: cutoff, BE: cut-off) is an arbitrary maximal or minimal value of energy, momentum, or length, used in order that objects with larger or smaller values than these physical quantities are ignored in some calculation.

    astrophysics, the physics in the universe, including the properties and interactions of celestial bodies in astronomy; atmospheric physics is the application of physics to the study of the atmosphere; space physics is the study of plasmas as they occur naturally in the Earth's upper atmosphere (aeronomy) and within the Solar System

  8. Youden's J statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youden's_J_statistic

    Youden's index is often used in conjunction with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. [4] The index is defined for all points of an ROC curve, and the maximum value of the index may be used as a criterion for selecting the optimum cut-off point when a diagnostic test gives a numeric rather than a dichotomous result.

  9. Regularization (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regularization_(physics)

    In physics, especially quantum field theory, regularization is a method of modifying observables which have singularities in order to make them finite by the introduction of a suitable parameter called the regulator. The regulator, also known as a "cutoff", models our lack of knowledge about physics at unobserved scales (e.g. scales of small ...
