GC: n CT: In order for Bluetooth wireless technology enabled devices to communicate with one another, the Bluetooth wireless technology enabled devices must communicate in the same language also known as a profile. A Bluetooth wireless technology profile is a specification that defines the minimum requirements that the Bluetooth wireless
CG: n CT: If users reach a deep page after traveling from the homepage through all the ancestor pages of that page, they will have a fairly clear understanding of where they are in the site’s information hierarchy. But when they skip some of these levels (for example, because they
GC: n CT: Bud pruning (pinching) and leaf pruning both aim to develop small branches and leaves. These methods have the same effect as branch pruning. They are applicable when branch pruning may not apply, such as when the bonsai trees have completed shapes, or when you only want to
GC: n CT: A buffer tank is typically used when there is a variable cooling requirement. In such applications the tank is used as storage to cover peak loads or in situations when a surge in demand exceeds the capacity of the cooling system.

GC: n CT: TCloud technologies and the use of layered internet dashboard interfaces continue to be developed and enhanced to improve the exchange of building automation system data. This may allow the consolidation of large data to evaluate performance, review historical and real-time trends, and the establishing of benchmarks. “Data
CG: n CT: From 1954 to 1963 the burial ground was used for some of the worst waste generated at the Hanford nuclear reservation’s 300 Area just north of Richland. At the 300 Area uranium fuel was fabricated to be irradiated at Hanford’s reactors to produce plutonium for the nation’s nuclear
GC: n CT: Conduction is another way that heat moves. Heat is a form of energy, and when it comes into contact with matter (Anything that you can touch physically) it makes the atoms and molecules move. Once atoms or molecules are moving, they collide with other atoms or molecules,
GC: n CT: Butanol is a four-carbon alcohol. Alcohols also include methanol (1-carbon), ethanol (2-carbon) and propanol (3-carbon). Butanol is used primarily as an industrial solvent. The worldwide market is about 350 million gallons per year with the U.S. market accounting for about 220 million gallons per year. Butanol currently
GC: n CT: The mathematics of chaos has been popularized through the notion of the butterfly effect: the possibility that a large storm in New England may be caused by a butterfly wing flap in China. There are problems with this simple notion. These problems are keys to recognizing the
GC: n CT: A byte is a term first coined by Werner Buchholz in 1956 and later became more of a standard thanks to Bob Bemer and others. A byte is data equal to either seven or eight bits depending if it needs error correction (parity). You can think of
GC: n CT: A cache (pronounced CASH) is a place to store something temporarily in a computing environment. In computing, active data is often cached to shorten data access times, reduce latency and improve input/output (I/O). Because almost all application workload is dependent upon I/O operations, caching is used to
CG: n CT: The fundamental and lowest frequency natural modes in a cantilever fan blade exhibit significant amounts of flexure and torsion coupled by pretwist and operation in a rotational force field. Consequently the flutter estimation of such blades requires an accurate structural description that incorporates these two effects, amongst
GC: n CT: Capacitor is an electronic component that stores electric charge. The capacitor is made of 2 close conductors (usually plates) that are separated by a dielectric material. The plates accumulate electric charge when connected to a power source. One plate accumulates positive charge and the other plate accumulates
GC: n CT: The capillary zone, or fringe zone, extends from the water table up to the limit of capillary rise. The thickness of the capillary fringe depends on the soil’s properties and on the homogeneity of the soil, mainly on the pore size distribution. Because of the irregularities in
GC: n CT: What is BIOMASS? Biomass is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms. In the context of biomass for energy this is often used to mean plant based material, but biomass can equally apply to both animal and vegetable derived material. – Chemical composition Biomass is
GC: n CT: A carbon credit (often called a carbon offset) is a financial instrument that represents a tonne of CO2 (carbon dioxide) or CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent gases) removed or reduced from the atmosphere from an emission reduction project, which can be used by governments, industry or private individuals
GC: n CT: Researchers are developing a new kind of geothermal power plant that will lock away unwanted carbon dioxide (CO2) underground – and use it as a tool to boost electric power generation by at least 10 times compared to existing geothermal energy approaches. The technology to implement this
GC: n CT: A carbon footprint is defined as the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). In other words, when you drive a car, the engine burns fuel, which creates a certain amount of
GC: n CT: Application for the promotion of renewable energy sources: Scientists have developed the first low-cost system for splitting carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen, a process crucial if we want to ramp up renewable energy use in the future. This splitting process has long been identified as
GC: n CT: A carbon sink is anything that absorbs more carbon that it releases, whilst a carbon source is anything that releases more carbon than is absorbed. Forests, soils, oceans and the atmosphere all store carbon and this carbon moves between them in a continuous cycle. This constant movement
GC: n CT: Cathodic protection is employed intensively on the steel drains in oil and gas industry. It is a technique of prevention against the corrosion which transforms the structure into a cathode of a corrosion cell ; Two types of cathodic protection systems are usually applied : The galvanic
