The heaviest and the most stable isotope known is < sup > 278 </ sup > Mt, with a half-life of ~ 8 s.

They were unable to confirm the 8. 5 MeV activity claimed by the Swedes but were instead able to detect decays from < sup > 250 </ sup > Fm, supposedly the daughter of < sup > 254 </ sup > 102, which had an apparent half-life of ~ 3 s.

Furthermore, they were able to show that the parent decayed by emission of 8. 1 MeV alpha particles with a half-life of ~ 35 s.

One design would generate 13 meganewtons of thrust at 66 km / s exhaust velocity ( compared to ~ 4. 5 km / s exhaust velocity for the best chemical rockets of today ).

The longest-lived and heaviest isotope known is < sup > 281a </ sup > Ds with a half-life of ~ 10 s although a possible nuclear isomer, < sup > 281b </ sup > Ds has an unconfirmed half-life of about 4 minutes.

The longest-lived isotope currently known is < sup > 289 </ sup > Fl with a half-life of ~ 2. 6 s, although there is evidence for a nuclear isomer, < sup > 289b </ sup > Fl, with a half-life of ~ 66 s, that would be one of the longest-lived nuclei in the superheavy element region.

The longest-lived isotope known is < sup > 286 </ sup > Uut with a half-life of ~ 20 s, allowing first chemical experiments to study its chemistry.

Lipmann ’ s term “ high-energy bond ” and his symbol ~ P ( squiggle P ) for a compound having a high phosphate group transfer potential are vivid, concise, and useful notations.

By the end of 2011, the Large Hadron Collider ( LHC ) at CERN had achieved a luminosity almost ten times higher than Tevatron's ( at 3. 65x10 < sup > 33 </ sup > cm < sup >− 2 </ sup > s < sup >− 1 </ sup >) and a beam energy of 3. 5 TeV each ( doing so since March 18, 2010 ), already ~ 3. 6 times the capabilities of the Tevatron ( at 0. 98 TeV ).

The diabolo pellet is designed to be drag stabilized, though is not as stable as some other shapes in the transonic region ( 272 – 408 m / s ~ 893 – 1340 ft / s ).

This was only slightly faster than contemporary ( 1993 ) versions of PCI at ~ 130 MB / s, but much faster than NuBus of the same era, at about 20 MB / s.

For example, after having established that the set X contains only non-empty sets, a mathematician might have said " let F ( s ) be one of the members of s for all s in X.

" John Updike, comparing Abner to a “ hillbilly Candide ,” added that the strip ’ s “ richness of social and philosophical commentary approached the Voltairean .” Charlie Chaplin, William F. Buckley, Al Hirschfeld, Harpo Marx, Russ Meyer, John Kenneth Galbraith, Ralph Bakshi, Shel Silverstein, Hugh Downs, Gene Shalit, Frank Cho, Daniel Clowes and ( reportedly ) even Queen Elizabeth have confessed to being fans of Li ' l Abner.

If we assume the controller C, the plant P, and the sensor F are linear and time-invariant ( i. e., elements of their transfer function C ( s ), P ( s ), and F ( s ) do not depend on time ), the systems above can be analysed using the Laplace transform on the variables.

At 20 ° C ( 68 ° F ) the speed of sound in air is 343 m / s ( 1129 ft / s ).

This speed is temperature dependent and does increase at a rate of 0. 6 m / s for each degree Celsius increase in temperature ( 1. 1 ft / s for every increase of 1 ° F ).

With s = T • s ( nT ), this Fourier series can now be recognized as a form of the Poisson summation formula.

• Willpower: “ Willpower is the driving force in hopeful thinking ” ( pg. 9 ) Willpower draws on the perception of our desired goal as well as one ’ s mental energy.

The name Snoqualmie is derived from the Lushootseed name s • dukʷalbixʷ, generally interpreted to mean " ferocious people ", a name applied by another Coast Salishan tribe in reference to the Snoqualmie tribe.
