  2. Desalination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination

    Wind energy can also be coupled to desalination. Similar to wave power, a direct conversion of mechanical energy to hydraulic power can reduce components and losses in powering reverse osmosis. [82] Wind power has also been considered for coupling with thermal desalination technologies. [83]

  3. Transverse wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_wave

    Mathematically, the simplest kind of transverse wave is a plane linearly polarized sinusoidal one. "Plane" here means that the direction of propagation is unchanging and the same over the whole medium; "linearly polarized" means that the direction of displacement too is unchanging and the same over the whole medium; and the magnitude of the displacement is a sinusoidal function only of time ...

  4. Greenhouse gas inventory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_inventory

    For example, to estimate emissions from the energy sector (typically contributing over 90% of CO 2 emissions and 75% of all GHG emissions in developed countries) the quantity of fuels combusted is combined with an emission factor - the level of sophistication increasing with the accuracy and complexity of the emission factor.

  5. Very low frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_low_frequency

    [6] [7]: 24.5–24.6 Due to their low radiation resistance (often less than one ohm) they are inefficient, radiating only 10% to 50% of the transmitter power at most, [2] [5]: 14 with the rest of the power dissipated in the antenna/ground system resistances. Very high power transmitters (~1 megawatt) are required for long-distance communication ...

  6. Applications of artificial intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_artificial...

    Power electronics converters are used in renewable energy, energy storage, electric vehicles and high-voltage direct current transmission. These converters are failure-prone, which can interrupt service and require costly maintenance or catastrophic consequences in mission critical applications.

    Tumbling in breaking wave causing vertigo. Strong turbulence in breaking wave may pull equipment from diver, particularly mask and demand valve, occasionally fins. Avoidance of strong surf transits. Minimising time in surf zone. Secure attachment of equipment. Protection of mask and demand valve security by holding them in place in high turbulence.

  8. Boston - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston

    The geography of downtown and South Boston was particularly affected by the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (which ran from 1991 to 2007, and was known unofficially as the "Big Dig"). That project removed the elevated Central Artery and incorporated new green spaces and open areas. [123]

  9. Civilian life under the German occupation of the Channel Islands

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_life_under_the...

    German soldiers in Jersey. During the five-year German occupation of the Channel Islands (30 June 1940 to 9 May 1945) civilian life became much more difficult. During that time, the Channel Islanders had to live under and obey the laws of Nazi Germany and work with their occupiers in order to survive and reduce the impact of occupation.
