  2. Lithium iron phosphate battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_iron_phosphate_battery

    The lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO 4 battery) or LFP battery (lithium ferrophosphate) is a type of lithium-ion battery using lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4) as the cathode material, and a graphitic carbon electrode with a metallic backing as the anode.

  3. Biplane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biplane

    Biplane. A biplane is a fixed-wing aircraft with two main wings stacked one above the other. The first powered, controlled aeroplane to fly, the Wright Flyer, used a biplane wing arrangement, as did many aircraft in the early years of aviation. While a biplane wing structure has a structural advantage over a monoplane, it produces more drag ...

  4. Semi-presidential republic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-presidential_republic

    Disadvantages The system provides cover for the president, as unpopular policies could be blamed on the prime minister, who runs the day-to-day operations of the government. It creates a sense of confusion towards accountability , as there is no relatively clear sense of who is responsible for policy successes and failures.

  5. Failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_Mode,_Effects,_and...

    Failure mode effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) is an extension of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). FMEA is a bottom-up, inductive analytical method which may be performed at either the functional or piece-part level. FMECA extends FMEA by including a criticality analysis, which is used to chart the probability of failure modes ...

  6. Gray iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_iron

    Advantages and disadvantages. Gray iron is a common engineering alloy because of its relatively low cost and good machinability, which results from the graphite ...

  7. Lead-cooled fast reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-cooled_fast_reactor

    Lead cooled fast reactor scheme. The lead-cooled fast reactor is a nuclear reactor design that use molten lead or lead-bismuth eutectic coolant. These materials can be used as the primary coolant because they have low neutron absorption and relatively low melting points. Neutrons are slowed less by interaction with these heavy nuclei (thus not ...

  8. Positive illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_illusions

    Positive illusions can have advantages and disadvantages for the individual, and there is a controversy over whether they are evolutionarily adaptive. [3] The illusions may have direct health benefits by helping the person cope with stress, or by promoting work towards success. [3]

  9. Variational quantum eigensolver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variational_quantum_eigen...

    In quantum computing, the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is a quantum algorithm for quantum chemistry, quantum simulations and optimization problems.It is a hybrid algorithm that uses both classical computers and quantum computers to find the ground state of a given physical system.
