    1. A position half way along the length of a ship or boat. [13] 2. A position half way between the port and starboard sides of a ship or boat, as in "helm amidships", when the rudder is in line with the keel. [13] ammunition ship A naval auxiliary ship specifically configured to carry ammunition, usually for combatant ships and aircraft.

  3. OpenThesaurus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenThesaurus

    The cause for the start of the project was the arrival of OpenOffice.org in 2002, which was missing the thesaurus of its parent, StarOffice, due to its licensing.. OpenThesaurus filled that gap by importing possible synonyms from a freely available German/English dictionary and refining and updating these in crowdsourced work through the use of a web ap

  4. State (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_(computer_science)

    In information technology and computer science, a system is described as stateful if it is designed to remember preceding events or user interactions; [1] the remembered information is called the state of the system. The set of states a system can occupy is known as its state space. In a discrete system, the state space is countable and often ...

  5. Absement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absement

    Absement changes as an object remains displaced and stays constant as the object resides at the initial position. It is the first time-integral of the displacement [3] [4] (i.e. absement is the area under a displacement vs. time graph), so the displacement is the rate of change (first time-derivative) of the absement.

  6. Orbital state vectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_state_vectors

    Orbital position vector, orbital velocity vector, other orbital elements. In astrodynamics and celestial dynamics, the orbital state vectors (sometimes state vectors) of an orbit are Cartesian vectors of position and velocity that together with their time () uniquely determine the trajectory of the orbiting body in space.

  7. Position operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_operator

    In quantum mechanics, the position operator is the operator that corresponds to the position observable of a particle.. When the position operator is considered with a wide enough domain (e.g. the space of tempered distributions), its eigenvalues are the possible position vectors of the particle.

  8. Stationary state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_state

    A stationary state is called stationary because the system remains in the same state as time elapses, in every observable way. For a single-particle Hamiltonian , this means that the particle has a constant probability distribution for its position, its velocity, its spin , etc. [ 1 ] (This is true assuming the particle's environment is also ...

  9. Application for employment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_for_employment

    The typical application also requires the applicant to provide information regarding relevant skills, education, and experience (previous employment or volunteer work). The application itself is a minor test of the applicant's literacy, penmanship, and communication skills. A careless job applicant might disqualify themselves with a poorly ...
