Chemicals with high BCF values are more lipophilic, and at equilibrium organisms will have greater concentrations of... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=35741423 | Bioconcentration |
Bioconcentration The rate at which an organism is exposed through respiratory surfaces and contact with dermal surfaces of the organism, competes against the rate of excretion from an organism. The rate of excretion is a loss of chemical from the respiratory surface, growth dilution, fecal excretion, and metabolic biot... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=35741423 | Bioconcentration |
Bioconcentration C is the chemical concentration dissolved in water (g*L). k,k,k,k are rate constants that represent excretion from the organism from the respiratory surface, fecal excretion, metabolic transformation, and growth dilution (d). Static variables influence BCF as well. Because organisms are modeled as bags... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=35741423 | Bioconcentration |
Bioconcentration An example of this is the movement of the organism may change as well as rates of excretion. If a contaminant is ionic, the change in pH that is influenced by a change in temperature may also influence the bioavailability The natural particle content as well as organic carbon content in water can affec... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=35741423 | Bioconcentration |
Kantowski–Sachs metric In general relativity the Kantowski-Sachs metric (named after Ronald Kantowski and Rainer K. Sachs) describes a homogeneous but anisotropic universe whose spatial section has the topology of formula_1. The metric is: The isometry group of this spacetime is formula_3. Remarkably, the isometry grou... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=35752296 | Kantowski–Sachs metric |
Richard S. Boardman was an American paleontologist and curator of the Department of Paleobiology at the United States National Museum (now the National Museum of Natural History).

Mackenzie Gordon Jr. (1913–1992) was an American invertebrate paleontologist. He was an expert on Carboniferous fossils. Gordon worked for the United States Geological Survey for 40 years, from 1941–1981. He was a research associate at the National Museum of Natural History from 1981 to his death in 1992. | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=35760852 | Mackenzie Gordon Jr. |
Janez Matjašič (14 May 1921 – 9 August 1996) was a Slovene zoologist. Matjašič was an associate member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts from 1974 and a full member from 1989.

Vincent Moncrief A key result (obtained jointly with Arthur Fischer of the University of California at Santa Cruz) was to relate the reduced Hamiltonian for Einstein's equations to a topological invariant known as the Yamabe invariant (or sigma constant) for the spatial manifold and to show that the reduced Hamiltonian... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=35783189 | Vincent Moncrief |
Vincent Moncrief A discussion of this and related work (with Lars Andersson of the University of Miami and Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat of the Université Paris VI) may be found in Moncrief's and Choquet-Bruhat's lectures at the Cargese summer school on 50 years of the Cauchy Problem in General Relativity.

Vincent Moncrief Most of this research involves the treatment of sufficiently small but nevertheless fully non-linear perturbations of certain special backgrounds and includes an analysis of higher as well as lower-dimensional spacetimes in addition to physical (3 + 1)-dimensional spacetime. | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=35783189 | Vincent Moncrief |
Jeans's theorem In astrophysics and statistical mechanics, Jeans's theorem, named after James Jeans, states that any steady-state solution of the collisionless Boltzmann equation depends on the phase space coordinates only through integrals of motion in the given potential, and conversely any function of the integrals ... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=35784363 | Jeans's theorem |
Jeans's theorem can be generalized to such potentials as follows: The phase-space density of a stationary stellar system is constant within every well-connected region. A well-connected region is one that cannot be decomposed into two finite regions such that all trajectories lie, for all time, in either one or the oth... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=35784363 | Jeans's theorem |
