The computation of the properties of mesons in Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is a fully non-perturbative one. As a result, the only general method available is a direct computation using lattice QCD (LQCD) techniques.[citation needed] However, for heavy quarkonium, other techniques are also effective.Quarkonium in media

Force
In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. It is measured in the SI unit of newtons and represented by the symbol F.Plasma (physics)

It Can't Happen Here
It Can't Happen Here is a semi-satirical 1935 political novel by American author Sinclair Lewis[1] and a 1936 play by Lewis and John C. Moffitt[2] adapted from the novel.Ableism (/ˈeɪbəlɪzəm/; also known as ablism,[1] disablism (Brit. English), anapirophobia, anapirism, and disability discrimination) is discrimination and social prejudice against people with disabilities or who are perceived to have disabilities. Ableism characterizes persons as defined by their disabilities and as inferior to the non-disabled.[2] On this basis, people are assigned or denied certain perceived abilities, skills, or character orientations.

The Fisher–Yates shuffle is an algorithm for generating a random permutation of a finite sequence—in plain terms, the algorithm shuffles
the sequence. The algorithm effectively puts all the elements into a
hat; it continually determines the next element by randomly drawing an
element from the hat until no elements remain. The algorithm produces an
unbiased
permutation: every permutation is equally likely. The modern version
of the algorithm is efficient: it takes time proportional to the number
of items being shuffled and shuffles them in place.
The Fisher–Yates shuffle is named after Ronald Fisher and Frank Yates, who first described it, and is also known as the Knuth shuffle after Donald Knuth. A variant of the Fisher–Yates shuffle, known as Sattolo's algorithm, may be used to generate random cyclic permutations of length n instead of random permutations
In mathematics, particularly in matrix theory, a permutation matrix is a square binary matrix that has exactly one entry of 1 in each row and each column and 0s elsewhere. Each such matrix, say P, represents a permutation of m elements and, when used to multiply another matrix, say A, results in permuting the rows (when pre-multiplying, to form PA) or columns (when post-multiplying, to form AP) of the matrix A.

Primitive ideal
In algebra, a prime ideal is a subset of a ring that shares many important properties of a prime number in the ring of integers. The prime ideals for the integers are the sets that contain all the multiples of a given prime number, together with the zero ideal.
Primitive ideals are prime, and prime ideals are both primary and semiprime.

In abstract algebra, a Dedekind domain or Dedekind ring, named after Richard Dedekind, is an integral domain in which every nonzero proper ideal factors into a product of prime ideals.
In mathematics, dimension theory is the study in terms of commutative algebra of the notion dimension of an algebraic variety (and by extension that of a scheme). The need of a theory
for such an apparently simple notion results from the existence of many
definitions of the dimension that are equivalent only in the most
regular cases (see Dimension of an algebraic variety).
A large part of dimension theory consists in studying the conditions
under which several dimensions are equal, and many important classes of commutative rings may be defined as the rings such that two dimensions are equal; for example, a regular ring is a commutative ring such that the homological dimension is equal to the Krull dimension.
In mathematics, Hausdorff dimension (a.k.a. fractal dimension) is a measure of roughness and/or chaos that was first introduced in 1918 by mathematician Felix Hausdorff[2]. Applying the mathematical formula, the Hausdorff dimension of a single point is zero, of a line segment is 1, of a square is 2, and of a cube
is 3. That is, for sets of points that define a smooth shape or a shape
that has a small number of corners—the shapes of traditional geometry
and science—the Hausdorff dimension is an integer agreeing with the usual sense of dimension, also known as the topological dimension.
However, formulas have also been developed that allow calculation of
the dimension of other less simple objects, where, based solely on their
properties of scaling and self-similarity, one is led to the conclusion that particular objects—including fractals—have non-integer Hausdorff dimensions. Because of the significant technical advances made by Abram Samoilovitch Besicovitch allowing computation of dimensions for highly irregular or "rough" sets, this dimension is also commonly referred to as the Hausdorff–Besicovitch dimension.
Characteristic Polynomial
The characteristic polynomial of a matrix is a polynomial associated to a matrix that gives information about the matrix. It is closely related to the determinant of a matrix, and its roots are the eigenvalues of the matrix. It can be used to find these eigenvalues, prove matrix similarity, or characterize a linear transformation from a vector space to itself.Spinlock

In computing, a nibble (occasionally nybble or nyble to match the spelling of byte) is a four-bit aggregation, or half an octet. It is also known as half-byte[3] or tetrade.[4][5] In a networking or telecommunication context, the nibble is often called a semi-octet,[6] quadbit,[7] or quartet.[8][9] A nibble has sixteen (24) possible values. A nibble can be represented by a single hexadecimal digit and called a hex digit.
A full byte (octet) is represented by two hexadecimal digits; therefore, it is common to display a byte of information as two nibbles. Sometimes the set of all 256 byte values is represented as a 16×16 table, which gives easily readable hexadecimal codes for each value.
Four-bit computer architectures use groups of four bits as their fundamental unit. Such architectures were used in early microprocessors, pocket calculators and pocket computers. They continue to be used in some microcontrollers.
Similar terms, such as bohrbug, mandelbug,[2][3][4] hindenbug, and schrödinbug[5][6] (see the section on related terms) have been occasionally proposed for other kinds of unusual software bugs, sometimes in jest;[7][8] however, unlike the term heisenbug, they are not widely known or used.

Heisenbug
In computer programming jargon, a heisenbug is a software bug that seems to disappear or alter its behavior when one attempts to study it.[1] The term is a pun on the name of Werner Heisenberg, the physicist who first asserted the observer effect of quantum mechanics, which states that the act of observing a system inevitably alters its state. In electronics the traditional term is probe effect, where attaching a test probe to a device changes its behavior.Similar terms, such as bohrbug, mandelbug,[2][3][4] hindenbug, and schrödinbug[5][6] (see the section on related terms) have been occasionally proposed for other kinds of unusual software bugs, sometimes in jest;[7][8] however, unlike the term heisenbug, they are not widely known or used.

- "German" because it was named so (in Latin, as Blattella germanica) by Linnaeus (a Swede) who promoted the used of scientific binomial nomenclature in the 18th century and coined the Latin names for many familiar organisms, including this one. Certainly it was then and is now found in Germany (and the rest of Europe). Linneus or colleagues may have (wrongly) thought it originated from Germany, or it may already have been the commonly used name in Europe.

A given surface has infinitely many distinct pants decompositions (we
understand two decompositions to be distinct when they are not
homotopic). One way to try to understand the relations between all these
decompositions is the pants complex associated to the surface. This is a graph with vertex set the pants decompositions of 
, and two vertices are joined if they are related by an elementary move, which is one of the two following operations:
The action of the mapping class group on the pants complex is of interest for studying this group. For example, Allen Hatcher and William Thurston have used it to give a proof of the fact that it is finitely presented.

The jitterbug. The tern jitterbug is used to refer to different swing dances, such as the jive and the lindy hop. It comes from slang used in the early twentieth century to describe alcoholics. The term became associated with swing dancers because, like the jitters of alcoholics, they were seen to be out of control.
In physics, jerk (also known as jolt) is the rate of change of an object’s acceleration with respect to time. Jerk is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction), and can be expressed in m/s3 in SI units or standard gravity per second (g/s). Jerk is the time derivative of acceleration, the second derivative of velocity, and the third derivative of position. Jounce, also known as snap, is the fourth derivative of position and the first derivative of jerk.
In electronics and telecommunications, jitter is the deviation from true periodicity of a presumably periodic signal, often in relation to a reference clock signal. In clock recovery applications it is called timing jitter. Jitter is a significant, and usually undesired, factor in the design of almost all communications links.
Jitter can be quantified in the same terms as all time-varying signals, e.g., root mean square (RMS), or peak-to-peak displacement. Also like other time-varying signals, jitter can be expressed in terms of spectral density.
Jitter period is the interval between two times of maximum effect (or minimum effect) of a signal characteristic that varies regularly with time. Jitter frequency, the more commonly quoted figure, is its inverse. ITU-T G.810 classifies jitter frequencies below 10 Hz as wander and frequencies at or above 10 Hz as jitter.

The pants complex
Elementary moves between pants decomposition
, and two vertices are joined if they are related by an elementary move, which is one of the two following operations:
- take a curve in the decomposition in a one-holed torus and replace it by a curve in the torus intersecting it only once,
- take a curve in the decomposition in a four-holed sphere and replace it by a curve in the sphere intersecting it only twice.

A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World
by William J. Bernstein
A Customs war, also known as a toll war or tariff war, is a type of economic conflict between two or more states. In order to pressure one of the states, the other raises taxes or tariffs for some of the products of that state. As a reprisal, the latter state may also increase the tariffs.
One example of a modern tariff war occurred in the 1920s and 1930s between the Weimar Republic and Poland, in the German–Polish customs war. The Weimar Republic, led by Gustav Stresemann wanted to force Poland, by creating an economic crisis by increasing the tolls for coal and steel products developed there, to give up its territory. As a reprisal, the Poles increased toll rates for many German products. This led to fast development of the port of Gdynia, which was the only way Poland could export its goods to Western Europe without having to transport them through Germany.
In September 1922 the Fordney–McCumber Tariff (named after Joseph Fordney, chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, and Porter McCumber, chair of the Senate Finance Committee) was signed by U.S. President Warren G. Harding. In the end, the tariff law raised the average American ad valorem tariff rate to 38 percent.
Trading partners complained immediately. Those injured by World War I said that, without access by their exports to the American market, they would not be able to make payments to America on war loans. But others saw that this tariff increase would have broader deleterious effects. Democratic Representative Cordell Hull said, "Our foreign markets depend both on the efficiency of our production and the tariffs of countries in which we would sell. Our own [high] tariffs are an important factor in each. They injure the former and invite the latter."
Five years after the passage of the tariff, American trading partners had raised their own tariffs by a significant degree. France raised its tariffs on automobiles from 45% to 100%, Spain raised tariffs on American goods by 40%, and Germany and Italy raised tariffs on wheat. This customs war is often cited as one of the main causes of the Great Depression.
The World Trade Organization was created to avoid customs wars, which are considered to be harmful to the world's economy.

In one chapter he writes: "Our Noah- is thus NH (pr NOE) which the Jews since pronounced NUH, and even Mnuh! Exactly the same name as given him by the Hindus! And all meaning repose, with many collateral meanings, lawgiver, collecting people, assembly humanity & c. The laws of M'nu are preserved by the Hindus : to him is also ascribed the substance of the Vedas, and the whole Mosaic history till near his own death. But the Hindus have many- M'nus; Adam and Seth were such, by the names of Adimo and Satya."

How Four Americans Robbed the Bank of England

These “financial revolutions” were far from being random events; they were supported by three basic pillars: (i) innovations in financial institutions, instruments and markets, (ii) an institutional mechanism through which the debtor commits not to renege on debt, and the presence of a public bank (Fratianni and Spinelli 2006).

The merger of four major firms into the German Steel Trust (Vereinigte Stahlwerke) in 1926 was modeled on the U.S. Steel
corporation in the U.S. The goal was to move beyond the limitations of
the old cartel system by incorporating advances simultaneously inside a
single corporation. The new company emphasized rationalization of
management structures and modernization of the technology; it employed a
multi-divisional structure and used return on investment as its measure
of success.[1]
it represented the "Americanization" of the German steel industry
because its internal structure, management methods, use of technology,
and emphasis on mass production
replicated the Steel Trust developed a multi-divisional structure and
aimed at return on investment as a measure of success. The chief
difference was that consumer capitalism as an industrial strategy did not seem plausible to German steel industrialists.

Tax collectors in the Bible
Tax collectors, also known as publicans, are mentioned many times in the Bible (mainly in the New Testament). They were reviled by the Jews of Jesus' day because of their perceived greed and collaboration with the Roman occupiers. Tax collectors amassed personal wealth by demanding tax payments in excess of what Rome levied and keeping the difference.[1] They worked for tax farmers. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus sympathizes with the tax collector Zacchaeus, causing outrage from the crowds that Jesus would rather be the guest of a sinner than of a more respectable or "righteous" person. Matthew the Apostle in the New Testament was a tax collector.[2]Other historical tax collectors
"God does not show favoritism" (Acts 10:34). Therefore, Jesus treated
the tax collector and the sinner in exactly the same way, with grace.

The rule of law is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as: "The authority and influence of law
in society, especially when viewed as a constraint on individual and
institutional behavior; (hence) the principle whereby all members of a
society (including those in government) are considered equally subject
to publicly disclosed legal codes and processes."[2] The term "rule of law" is closely related to "constitutionalism" as well as "Rechtsstaat", and refers to a political situation, not to any specific legal rule.
Farming or tax-farming is a technique of financial management in which the management of a variable revenue stream is assigned by legal contract
to a third party and the holder of the revenue stream receives fixed
periodic rents from the contractor. It is most commonly used in public finance, where governments (the lessors)
lease or assign the right to collect and retain the whole of the tax
revenue to a private financier (the farmer), who is charged with paying
fixed sums (sometimes called "rents", but with a different meaning from
the common modern term) into the treasury. Sometimes, as in the case of Miguel de Cervantes, the tax farmer was a government employee, paid a salary, and all money collected went to the government.
Farming in this sense has nothing to do with agriculture, other than in a metaphorical sense.

Jacob wrestling with the angel is described in Genesis (32:22–32; also referenced in Hosea 12:4). The "angel" in question is referred to as "man" (אִישׁ) and "God" in Genesis, while Hosea references an "angel" (מַלְאָךְ).[1] The account includes the renaming of Jacob as Israel (etymologized as "contends-with-God").
In the Genesis narrative, Jacob spent the night alone on a riverside during his journey back to Canaan. He encounters a "man" who proceeds to wrestle with him until daybreak. In the end, Jacob is given the name "Israel" and blessed, while the "man" refuses to give his own name. Jacob then names the place where they wrestled Penuel (פְּנוּאֵל "face of God" or "facing God"[2]).

Magnetic hysteresis occurs when an external magnetic
field is applied to a ferromagnet such as iron and the atomic dipoles
align themselves with it. Even when the field is removed, part of the
alignment will be retained: the material has become magnetized.
What is the unit of coercivity?
Coercivity is usually measured in oersted or ampere/meter units and is denoted HC. ... Ferromagnetic materials with high coercivity are called magnetically hard, and are used to make permanent magnets.
Coercivity, also called the magnetic coercivity, coercive field or coercive force, is a measure of the ability of a ferromagnetic material to withstand an external magnetic field without becoming demagnetized. An analogous property in electrical engineering and materials science, electric coercivity, is the ability of a ferroelectric material to withstand an external electric field without becoming depolarized.

What is Koe unit?
The oersted (symbol Oe) is the unit of the auxiliary magnetic field H in the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS). It is equivalent to 1 dyne per maxwell.
Note that the U.S. five cent coin called a “Nickel” is made of 75% copper and 25% Nickel (Ni). Even though it contains Nickel (Ni), a ferromagnetic material, they aren't visibly attracted to magnets. In fact, they don't interact with magnets like many other non-magnetic materials.
The magnetic susceptibility of alloys of copper and nickel in proportions ranging from 0.1 to 70 percent nickel have been studied. ... For amounts of nickel
from one percent up to 30 percent the alloy, while paramagnetic in most
respects, does not obey any known law of paramagnetism with regard to
temperature.
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial communication interface specification used for short-distance communication, primarily in embedded systems. The interface was developed by Motorola in the mid-1980s and has become a de facto standard. Typical applications include Secure Digital cards and liquid crystal displays.
SPI devices communicate in full duplex mode using a master-slave architecture (alternate terminology being main and secondary) with a single master. The master device originates the frame for reading and writing. Multiple slave-devices are supported through selection with individual slave select (SS), sometimes called chip select (CS), lines.
Sometimes SPI is called a four-wire serial bus, contrasting with three-, two-, and one-wire serial buses. The SPI may be accurately described as a synchronous serial interface,[1] but it is different from the Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) protocol, which is also a four-wire synchronous serial communication protocol. The SSI protocol employs differential signaling and provides only a single simplex communication channel. SPI is one master and multi slave communication.

Color charge
Color charge is a property of quarks and gluons that is related to the particles' strong interactions in the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD).The "color charge" of quarks and gluons is completely unrelated to the everyday meaning of color. The term color and the labels red, green, and blue became popular simply because of the loose analogy to the primary colors. Richard Feynman referred to his colleagues as "idiot physicists" for choosing the confusing name.
Idiot physicist colorful characters
In mathematics, the four color theorem, or the four color map theorem, states that, given any separation of a plane into contiguous regions, producing a figure called a map, no more than four colors are required to color the regions of the map so that no two adjacent regions have the same color.
In quantum chromodynamics (QCD), color confinement, often simply called confinement, is the phenomenon that color charged particles (such as quarks and gluons) cannot be isolated, and therefore cannot be directly observed in normal conditions below the Hagedorn temperature of approximately 2 trillion kelvin (corresponding to energies of approximately 130–140 MeV per particle).[1][2] Quarks and gluons must clump together to form hadrons. The two main types of hadron are the mesons (one quark, one antiquark) and the baryons (three quarks). In addition, colorless glueballs
formed only of gluons are also consistent with confinement, though
difficult to identify experimentally. Quarks and gluons cannot be
separated from their parent hadron without producing new hadrons.

In computer programming, a function prototype or function interface is a declaration of a function that specifies the function's name and type signature (arity, data types of parameters, and return type), but omits the function body. While a function definition specifies how the function does what it does (the "implementation"), a function prototype merely specifies its interface, i.e. what
data types go in and come out of it. The term function prototype is
particularly used in the context of the programming languages C and C++ where placing forward declarations of functions in header files allows for splitting a program into translation units, i.e. into parts that a compiler can separately translate into object files, to be combined by a linker into an executable or a library.
In a prototype, parameter names are optional (and in C/C++ have function prototype scope, meaning their scope ends at the end of the prototype), however, the type is necessary along with all modifiers (e.g. if it is a pointer or a const parameter).
In object-oriented programming, interfaces and abstract methods serve much the same purpose.

What is the Ricardian model?
The Ricardian model is a model used in economics, named after David Ricardo. It is an easy way to explain trade between two countries, and the resulting gains. The model only uses workforce productivity to explain differences in international trade. Comparative advantages result from the difference of a single econmomic factor, that is labor. Workforces in different countries have different levels of productivity, and the resulting opportunity costs are different. In this regard, Ricardo used the ideas of Adam Smith regarding Absolute advantage, and developed them further. The model is described in Ricardo's main work, On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, published in 1817. Ricardian Model Assumptions. The modern version of the Ricardian Model assumes that there are two countries, producing two goods, using one factor of production, usually labor. The model is a general equilibrium model in which all markets (i.e., goods and factors) are perfectly competitive.

Who won the Austro Prussian conflict of 1866?
Seven Weeks' War. Seven Weeks' War, also called Austro-Prussian War, (1866), war between Prussia on the one side and Austria, Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, and certain minor German states on the other. It ended in a Prussian victory, which meant the exclusion of Austria from Germany.
Germany before 1800 was heavily rural, with some urban trade centers. In the 19th century it began a stage of rapid economic growth and modernisation, led by heavy industry. By 1900 it had the largest economy in Europe, a factor that played a major role in its entry into World War I and World War II.
Devastated by World War II, West Germany became an "economic miracle" in the 1950s and 1960s with the Wirtschaftswunder, triggered by a newly modernized economy under the strict guidance of Germany's then Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and his Minister of Economics Ludwig Erhard and aided by the Marshall Plan, among other factors. Currently it is the largest individual economy in the EU with GDP of roughly 3 trillion USD.

(BIMEs) scattered over them. Recently a research genome sequencing
project discovered that many of the bases on the Y-chromosome are arranged as palindromes.
Turritopsis dohrnii, also known as the immortal jellyfish
In automata theory, a set of all palindromes in a given alphabet is a typical example of a language that is context-free, but not regular. This means that it is impossible for a computer with a finite amount of memory
to reliably test for palindromes. (For practical purposes with modern
computers, this limitation would apply only to impractically long
letter-sequences.)
In addition, the set of palindromes may not be reliably tested by a deterministic pushdown automaton which also means that they are not LR(k)-parsable or LL(k)-parsable. When reading a palindrome from left-to-right, it is, in essence, impossible to locate the "middle" until the entire word has been read completely.
It is possible to find the longest palindromic substring of a given input string in linear time.

Amphibians
Description and behaviour
It is a small species of toad: males measure 16.5–23.5 mm (0.65–0.93 in) and females 20.4–30 mm (0.80–1.18 in) in snout–vent length.[2]When threatened, the toad folds its limbs under its body, tucks its head in and tenses in a ball shape. If on an incline (this is how it gets its name), this causes it to roll down the slope, escaping the attention of its predator, and looking like a dislodged pebble. Its cryptic black and dark grey coloring that may appear as dark navy blue to some blends with its sandstone habitat.[3]

It is eco systems and species.
Kung Fu Mantis Vs Jumping Spider | Life Story | BBC
I have caught and released so many Jumping Spiders out of my apartment. I do not remember inviting them over for coffee and indeed the jumping spiders jitter and jerk around sometimes too for Java programing considerations for programmers whom have had to much coffee or jumping spiders whom have had too much coffee. Here is a jumping spider with a stink bug in my laundry room.
True stories. (all washed up)
Spiders are now actively eating stink bugs. The picture Deborah took of this jumping spider (Phidippus spp.) chewing its way into the captured sink bug is a great example! Birds (especially titmice and chickadees) flare up to the window screens of the house and snag unwary stink bugs.

Stanford prison experiment
The Stanford prison experiment (SPE) was a social psychology experiment that attempted to investigate the psychological effects of perceived power, focusing on the struggle between prisoners and prison officers. It was conducted at Stanford University on the days of August 14–20, 1971 by a research group led by psychology professor Philip Zimbardo using college students.[1] In the study, volunteers were assigned to be either "guards" or "prisoners" by the flip of a coin, in a mock prison, with Zimbardo himself serving as the superintendent. Several "prisoners" left mid-experiment, and the whole experiment was abandoned after six days. Early reports on experimental results claimed that students quickly embraced their assigned roles, with some guards enforcing authoritarian measures and ultimately subjecting some prisoners to psychological torture, while many prisoners passively accepted psychological abuse and, by the officers' request, actively harassed other prisoners who tried to stop it. The experiment has been described in many introductory social psychology textbooks,[2] although some have chosen to exclude it because its methodology is sometimes questioned.[3]The U.S. Office of Naval Research[4] funded the experiment as an investigation into the causes of difficulties between guards and prisoners in the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. Certain portions of it were filmed, and excerpts of footage are publicly available

The Blue Elephant
The Blue Elephant (Arabic: الفيل الأزرق, translit. Al Fil Al Azraq) is a 2014 Egyptian drama/horror/mystery film produced and directed by Marwan Hamed in Cairo, Egypt. The story was originally translated into film from an Arabic novel written by the famous Egyptian writer Ahmed Mourad, and starring Egyptian actors Karim Abdel Aziz, Khaled El Sawy and Nelly Karim. The film talks about a man called Yehia, who unwillingly comes out of isolation after five years, to resume his service in El-Abbaseya psychiatric hospital, where he is in charge of evaluating the mental health of the criminally insane. Between 2018 and 2019, there has been a sequel named The Blue Elephant 2 (Arabic: 2 الفيل الأزرق, translit. Al Fil Al Azraq 2)
Abdel Fattah Saeed Hussein Khalil el-Sisi is an Egyptian
politician who is the sixth and current President of Egypt, former
Director of Military Intelligence, former Minister of Defence, and
former General.

A straw man (or strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".
