In recreational mathematics, a polyomino is a polyform with the square as its base form. It is a connected shape formed as the union of one or more identical squares in distinct locations on the plane, taken from the regular square tiling, such that every square can be connected to every other square through a sequence of shared edges. Polyominoes with from 1 to 6 squares are called respectively monominoes, dominoes, trominoes, tetrominoes, pentominoes and hexominoes. Polyominoes have been used in popular puzzles since at least 1907, and the enumeration of pentominoes is dated to antiquity. Many results with the pieces of 1 to 6 squares were first published in Fairy Chess Review between the years 1937 to 1957, under the name of 'dissection problems'. The name polyomino was invented by Solomon W. Golomb in 1953 and they were popularized by Martin Gardner. 68 pp. Englisch.…

It has the characteristic of taking a given medium with given properties and transforming some or all of that medium, into a new medium with new properties. Phase transitions occur frequently and are found everywhere in the natural world. Some engineering techniques exploit certain types of phase transition. In thermodynamics, a phase transition is the transformation of a thermodynamic system from one phase to another. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Making this measurement is known as sighting the object, shooting the object, or taking a sight. The angle, and the time when it was measured, can be used to calculate a position line on a nautical or aeronautical chart. A common use of the sextant is to sight the sun at noon to find one''s latitude. See celestial navigation for more discussion. Held horizontally, the sextant can be used to measure the angle between any two objects, such as between two lighthouses, which will, similarly, allow for calculation of a position on a chart. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Because of this, water in nature and in use is rarely pure and some of its properties may vary slightly from those of the pure substance. However, there are many compounds that are essentially, if not completely, insoluble in water. Water is the only common substance found naturally in all three common states of matter-for other substances, see Chemical properties. Water is essential for life on Earth. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Portable water purification devices - also known as point-of-use (POU) water treatment systems and field water disinfection techniques - are self-contained units that can be used by recreational enthusiasts, military personnel, survivalists, and others who must obtain drinking water from untreated sources (e.g., rivers, lakes, etc). The objective of these personal devices is to render unchlorinated water potable (that is, safe and palatable for drinking purposes). Many commercial portable drinking water systems or chemical additives are available for hiking, camping, and other travel in remote areas. These devices are not only used for remote or rural areas. They can also be used to treat safe municipal water for aesthetic purposes by removing chlorine, bad taste, heavy metals like lead and mercury, and odors. 84 pp. Englisch. …

Until the 1890s the Kingdom of Hawai i was an independent sovereign state, recognized by the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and Germany. Though there were threats to Hawaii''s sovereignty throughout the Kingdom''s history, it was not until the signing, under duress, of the Bayonet Constitution in 1887, that this threat began to be realized. On January 17, 1893, the last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawai i, Queen Lili''uokalani, was deposed in a coup d''état led largely by American citizens who were opposed to Lili''uokalani''s attempt to establish a new Constitution. The success of the coup efforts was supported by the landing of U.S. Marines, who came ashore at the request of the conspirators. The coup left the queen imprisoned at Iolani Palace under house arrest. The sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hawaii was lost to a Provisional Government led by the conspirators, later briefly becoming the Republic of Hawaii, before eventual annexation to the United States in 1898. 76 pp. Englisch.…

The other constituent is the predicate. In English, subjects govern agreement on the verb or auxiliary verb that carries the main tense of the sentence, as exemplified by the difference in verb forms between he eats and they eat. The subject has the grammatical function in a sentence of relating its constituent by means of the verb to any other elements present in the sentence, i.e. objects, complements and adverbials. 88 pp. Englisch.…

The Ryukyu independence movement is a movement for the independence of Okinawa and the surrounding islands (Ryukyu Islands), from Japan. The movement re-merged in 1945, after the end of the Pacific War. Some Ryukyuan people felt, as the Allied Occupation began, that the Ryukyus (Okinawa) should eventually become an independent state, instead of being returned to Japan. The majority pushed for unification with the mainland, hoping that this would hasten the end of the Allied Occupation there. The US-Japan Security Treaty was signed in 1951 as re-unification occurred, and providing for the continuation of the American military presence.

Saxophones are usually made of brass and are played with a single-reed mouthpiece similar to that of the clarinet. The saxophone was invented by Adolphe Sax in 1841. He wanted to create an instrument that would both be the loudest of the woodwinds and the most versatile of the brass, and would fill the then vacant middle ground between the two sections. He patented the sax in 1846 in two groups of seven instruments each. Each series consisted of instruments of various sizes in alternating transposition. The series pitched in B and E , designed for military bands, has proved extremely popular and most saxophones encountered today are from this series. A few saxophones remain from the less popular orchestral series pitched in C and F. 88 pp. Englisch.…

Relative effectiveness factor or R.E. factor is a measurement of an explosive's power for military demolitions purposes. It is used to compare an explosive's effectiveness relative to TNT by weight only. This enables engineers to substitute one explosive for another when they are calculating blasting equations that are designed for TNT. For example, if a timber cutting charge requires 1 kg of TNT to work, it would take 0.6 kg of PETN or 1.25 kg of ANFO to have the same effect. Englisch.…

After an extremely disappointing 08-09 season, Sydney FC went straight into action, sacking coach John Kosmina, who was beginning to earn the contempt of many loyal Sydney FC supporters. A week later, Czech coach, Vítezslav Lavicka, was signed as Sydney''s fifth manager in as many seasons. Although Sydney had a terrible season, this move was slightly controversial, as it was rumoured the Sydney FC board had been in talks with Lavicka around Christmas time of 2008. Some fans were not in favour of this move either, as five managers in as many seasons created an unstable team, and there were calls for the club to keep Kosmina, to provide that stability. 100 pp. Englisch.…

The synoptic scale in meteorology (also known as large scale or cyclonic scale) is a horizontal length scale of the order of 1000 kilometres (about 620 miles) or more. This corresponds to a horizontal scale typical of mid-latitude depressions. Most high and low pressure areas seen on weather maps such as surface weather analyses are synoptic-scale systems, driven by the location of Rossby waves in their respective hemisphere. Low pressure areas form on the leading edge of a trough within the rossby wave pattern, while surface highs form on the back edge of the trough. The word synoptic is derived from the Greek word sunoptikos meaning seen together. 100 pp. Englisch.…
