  2. Internal ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_ballistics

    Internal ballistics (also interior ballistics ), a subfield of ballistics, is the study of the propulsion of a projectile . In guns, internal ballistics covers the time from the propellant 's ignition until the projectile exits the gun barrel. [1] The study of internal ballistics is important to designers and users of firearms of all types ...

  3. Korean War - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War

    Korean War. The Korean War was fought between North Korea and South Korea from 1950 to 1953. It began on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea and ceased after an armistice on 27 July 1953. North Korea was supported by the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union while South Korea was supported by the United Nations Command ...

  4. Total internal reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_internal_reflection

    Total internal reflection. In physics, total internal reflection ( TIR) is the phenomenon in which waves arriving at the interface (boundary) from one medium to another (e.g., from water to air) are not refracted into the second ("external") medium, but completely reflected back into the first ("internal") medium.

  6. Phosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorylation

    Phosphorylation is essential to the processes of both anaerobic and aerobic respiration, which involve the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the "high-energy" exchange medium in the cell. During aerobic respiration, ATP is synthesized in the mitochondrion by addition of a third phosphate group to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in a process referred to as oxidative phosphorylation. ATP ...

  7. Hsp70 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hsp70

    The NBD contains the ATP/ADP pocket that binds and The SBD contains a substrate‐binding pocket that interacts with extended polypeptides as substrate, an α‐helical subdomain from the C‐terminal side of SBD forms a flexible lid. EEVD‐motif participates in binding to co‐chaperones and other HSPs.

  8. Heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat

    Heat is energy in transfer to or from a thermodynamic system by a mechanism that involves the microscopic atomic modes of motion or the corresponding macroscopic properties. [3] This descriptive characterization excludes the transfers of energy by thermodynamic work or mass transfer. Defined quantitatively, the heat involved in a process is the difference in internal energy between the final ...

  9. Chemiosmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemiosmosis

    Chemiosmosis is the movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane bound structure, down their electrochemical gradient. An important example is the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by the movement of hydrogen ions (H +) across a membrane during cellular respiration or photosynthesis . An ion gradient has potential energy and can be ...
