    Wobbly lingo is a collection of technical language, jargon, and historic slang used by the Industrial Workers of the World, known as the Wobblies, for more than a century. Many Wobbly terms derive from or are coextensive with hobo expressions used through the 1940s .

  4. Oscillating cylinder steam engine - Wikipedia

    An oscillating cylinder engine cannot be reversed by means of the valve linkage (as in a normal fixed cylinder) because there is none. Reversing of the engine can be achieved by reversing the steam connections between inlet and exhaust or, in the case of small engines, by shifting the trunnion pivot point so that the port in the cylinder lines up with a different pair of ports in the port face.

  5. Wobble base pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wobble_base_pair

    Wobble base pairs for inosine and guanine. A wobble base pair is a pairing between two nucleotides in RNA molecules that does not follow Watson-Crick base pair rules. [1] The four main wobble base pairs are guanine-uracil (G-U), hypoxanthine-uracil (I-U), hypoxanthine-adenine (I-A), and hypoxanthine-cytosine (I-C).

    The Wobbly Loren Roberts, 16, turned himself in on November 13. The last fatality was Deputy Sheriff John M. Haney, who was killed on November 15. He was shot by members of a posse from Centralia because he had failed to give the proper countersign. [31] Bert Bland was the last Wobbly captured, on November 19. The Sentinel bronze statue

    A wooden roly-poly toy. A roly-poly toy, roly-poly doll, round-bottomed doll, tilting doll, tumbler, wobbly man, wobble doll, or kelly is a round-bottomed toy, usually egg-shaped, that tends to right itself when pushed at an angle, and does this in seeming contradiction to how it should fall.

  8. Non-canonical base pairing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-canonical_base_pairing

    These wobble base pairs are very important in tRNA. Most organisms have less than 45 tRNA molecules even though 61 tRNA molecules would technically be necessary to canonically pair to the codon. Wobble base pairing allows for the 5' anticodon to bond to a non-standard base pair. Examples of wobble base pairs are given in Figure 6.

  9. Wobulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wobulation

    Wobulation is the known variation ("wobble") in a characteristic. For example, wobulation of advanced radar waveform modulations – where the repetition rate or center frequency of a signal is changed in a repetitive fashion to reduce the probability of interception.
