  2. Molar conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_conductivity

    The limiting molar conductivity of a weak electrolyte cannot be determined reliably by extrapolation. Instead it can be expressed as a sum of ionic contributions, which can be evaluated from the limiting molar conductivities of strong electrolytes containing the same ions. For aqueous acetic acid as an example, [4]

  3. Theory of constraints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_constraints

    The limiting factor is now some other part of the system, or may be external to the system (an external constraint). ... The definition of "too long" may be changed ...

  4. Discrimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination

    Moral philosophers have defined discrimination using a moralized definition. Under this approach, discrimination is defined as acts, practices, or policies that wrongfully impose a relative disadvantage or deprivation on persons based on their membership in a salient social group. [9] This is a comparative definition.

  5. Scurvy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scurvy

    Scurvy was described as early as the time of ancient Egypt, and historically it was a limiting factor in long-distance sea travel, often killing large numbers of people. [2] [7] During the Age of Sail, it was assumed that 50 percent of the sailors would die of scurvy on a major trip. [8]

    Sample flowchart representing a decision process when confronted with a lamp that fails to light. In psychology, decision-making (also spelled decision making and decisionmaking) is regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several possible alternative options.

  7. Optical resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_resolution

    The ability of a lens to resolve detail is usually determined by the quality of the lens, but is ultimately limited by diffraction.Light coming from a point source in the object diffracts through the lens aperture such that it forms a diffraction pattern in the image, which has a central spot and surrounding bright rings, separated by dark nulls; this pattern is known as an Airy pattern, and ...

  8. Current limiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting

    Current limiting is the practice of imposing a limit on the current that may be delivered to a load to protect the circuit generating or transmitting the current from harmful effects due to a short-circuit or overload. The term "current limiting" is also used to define a type of overcurrent protective device.

  9. Form factor (design) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_factor_(design)

    Comparison of some common motherboard form factors (pen for scale) Form factor is a hardware design aspect that defines and prescribes the size, shape, and other physical specifications of components, particularly in electronics. [1] [2] A form factor may represent a broad class of similarly sized components, or it may prescribe a specific ...
