  2. International Environmental Design Contest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International...

    The International Environmental Design Contest (IEDC) is a competition hosted by the WERC Consortium and The Institute for Energy & The Environment at New Mexico State University. [1] It is an annual event in which student teams prepare written, oral, poster, and bench-scale model presentations in response to design tasks.

  3. Plasmoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmoid

    Natural plasmoid produced in the near-Earth magnetotail by magnetic reconnection. A plasmoid is a coherent structure of plasma and magnetic fields.Plasmoids have been proposed to explain natural phenomena such as ball lightning, [1] [2] magnetic bubbles in the magnetosphere, [3] and objects in cometary tails, [4] in the solar wind, [5] [6] solar atmosphere, [7] and in the heliospheric current ...

  4. Optimal experimental design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_experimental_design

    a design that is optimal for a given model using one of the . . . criteria is usually near-optimal for the same model with respect to the other criteria. — [ 16 ] Indeed, there are several classes of designs for which all the traditional optimality-criteria agree, according to the theory of "universal optimality" of Kiefer . [ 17 ]

  5. Unified field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_field_theory

    This was the first example of a theory that was able to encompass previously separate field theories (namely electricity and magnetism) to provide a unifying theory of electromagnetism. By 1905, Albert Einstein had used the constancy of the speed-of-light in Maxwell's theory to unify our notions of space and time into an entity we now call ...

  6. Toroidal ring model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toroidal_ring_model

    The toroidal ring model, known originally as the Parson magneton or magnetic electron, is a physical model of subatomic particles. It is also known as the plasmoid ring, vortex ring, or helicon ring. This physical model treated electrons and protons as elementary particles, and was first proposed by Alfred Lauck Parson in 1915.

  7. Active galactic nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_galactic_nucleus

    At low luminosities, the objects to be unified are Seyfert galaxies. The unification models propose that in Seyfert 1s the observer has a direct view of the active nucleus. In Seyfert 2s the nucleus is observed through an obscuring structure which prevents a direct view of the optical continuum, broad-line region or (soft) X-ray emission.

  8. Eric Lerner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Lerner

    In 1984, he began studying plasma phenomena and laboratory fusion devices, performing experimental work on a machine called a dense plasma focus (DPF). NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has funded mainstream as well as alternative approaches to fusion, and between 1994 and 2001 NASA provided a grant to Lawrenceville Plasma Physics, the company of which Lerner was the only employee, to explore ...

  9. Pati–Salam model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pati–Salam_model

    In physics, the Pati–Salam model is a Grand Unified Theory (GUT) proposed in 1974 by Abdus Salam and Jogesh Pati. Like other GUTs, its goal is to explain the seeming arbitrariness and complexity of the Standard Model in terms of a simpler, more fundamental theory that unifies what are in the Standard Model disparate particles and forces.
