string

(If the refresh rate of the screen equals the frequency of the string or an integer multiple thereof, the string will appear still but deformed.)
|
This effect is called the stroboscopic effect, and the rate at which the string seems to vibrate is the difference between the frequency of the string and the refresh rate of the screen.
|
The same can happen with a fluorescent lamp, at a rate that is the difference between the frequency of the string and the frequency of the alternating current.
|
In daylight and other non-oscillating light sources, this effect does not occur and the string appears still but thicker, and lighter or blurred, due to persistence of vision.
|
A similar but more controllable effect can be obtained using a stroboscope.

vehicle
|
A common example of Doppler shift is the change of pitch heard when a vehicle sounding a horn approaches and recedes from an observer.
|
The Doppler effect or Doppler shift (or simply Doppler, when in context) is the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source.
|
It is named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who described the phenomenon in 1842.
|
Compared to the emitted frequency, the received frequency is higher during the approach, identical at the instant of passing by, and lower during the recession.
|
The reason for the Doppler effect is that when the source of the waves is moving towards the observer, each successive wave crest is emitted from a position closer to the observer than the crest of the previous wave.

A disjunctive sequence is a sequence in which every finite string appears.

A given infinite sequence is either normal or not normal, whereas a real number, having a different base-b expansion for each integer b ≥ 2, may be normal in one base but not in another (in which case it is not a normal number).
|
For bases r and s with log r / log s rational (so that r = bm and s = bn) every number normal in base r is normal in base s. For bases r and s with log r / log s irrational, there are uncountably many numbers normal in each base but not the other.
|
A normal sequence is disjunctive, but a disjunctive sequence need not be normal.

A rich number in base b is one whose expansion in base b is disjunctive: one that is disjunctive to every base is called absolutely disjunctive or is said to be a lexicon.

All intermarried Jews in Greater Germany were generally exempted from deportation during the Holocaust until early 1945, which enabled 90 percent to survive.
|
However, they faced strong pressure from Nazi authorities to divorce, which would end the protection for the Jewish partner.

It is unclear whether this action prevented the deportation of their husbands.

A financial instrument or investment strategy that follows a Holy Grail distribution is a perfect hedge to an instrument that follows the Taleb distribution.
|
Market forces that pushed the first category of assets down pulled the latter category up.
|
Protection of a diversified investment portfolio from market crashes (extreme events) can be achieved by using a tail risk parity approach, allocating a piece of the portfolio to a tail risk protection strategy, or to a strategy with Holy grail distribution of returns.
|
When a "Taleb" investment vehicle suffers an unusual loss, a perfect hedge exhibits a strong return compensating for that loss (both outliers must take place at the same time).
|
Practitioners tend to distinguish between a Holy Grail distribution and investment returns that are generated from an inverted Taleb distribution, a "minus-Taleb" distribution.

A U.S. mechanical engineer or skilled worker who creates technical drawings may be referred to as a drafter or draftsman.
|
Design and drafting Drafting or technical drawing is the means by which mechanical engineers design products and create instructions for manufacturing parts.
|
A technical drawing can be a computer model or hand-drawn schematic showing all the dimensions necessary to manufacture a part, as well as assembly notes, a list of required materials, and other pertinent information.
|
Drafting has historically been a two-dimensional process, but computer-aided design (CAD) programs now allow the designer to create in three dimensions.
|
Instructions for manufacturing a part must be fed to the necessary machinery, either manually, through programmed instructions, or through the use of a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) or combined CAD/CAM program.

When these issues were addressed and corrected by the M16A1, the reliability problems decreased greatly.

Most men armed with the M16 in Vietnam rated this rifle's performance high, however, many men entertained some misgivings about the M16's reliability.

As a result, Lahti designed two competing anti-tank weapons: a 13.2 mm machine gun and a 20 mm rifle.

Operation The rifle is a semi-automatic, gas operated weapon with the piston located beneath the barrel and ammunition feed from a detachable top-mounted magazine with bottom ejection for the spent cartridges.

After this process, cannon on display may be protected from oxygen and moisture by a wax sealant.

Restoration Cannon recovered from the sea are often extensively damaged from exposure to salt water; because of this, electrolytic reduction treatment is required to forestall the process of corrosion.
|
The cannon is then washed in deionized water to remove the electrolyte, and is treated in tannic acid, which prevents further rust and gives the metal a bluish-black colour.

A coat of polyurethane may also be painted over the wax sealant, to prevent the wax-coated cannon from attracting dust in outdoor displays.

|
A "sense of community index (SCI) was developed by Chavis and colleagues, and revised and adapted by others.
