The conventional symbol Z comes from the German word meaning number / numeral / figure, which prior to the modern synthesis of ideas from chemistry and physics, merely denoted an element's numerical place in the periodic table.

Dial + 64 ( 8 ) 320-1231, from USA / Canada and rest of NANP dial 011-64-8-320-1231 to hear your 3 digit area code & 7 digit local number read back to you from N. Z.

* Any ring of characteristic n is a ( Z / nZ )- algebra in the same way.

Thus for an ion which traverses a 1 m flight path, across a time of 2000 ns, given an initial accelerating voltage of 5000 V and noting that one amu is 1 × 10 < sup >− 27 </ sup > kg, the mass-to-charge ratio ( more correctly the mass-to-ionisation value ratio ) becomes Z amu / charge.

# Assignment of R / S and E / Z descriptors

R / S and E / Z descriptors are assigned by using a system for ranking priority of the groups attached to each stereocenter.

In other words, b is a unit in the ring Z / aZ of integers modulo a.

If n ≥ 1 and is an integer, the numbers coprime to n, taken modulo n, form a group with multiplication as operation ; it is written as ( Z / nZ )< sup >×</ sup > or Z < sub > n </ sub >< sup >*</ sup >.

* Conservatism / Jerry Z. Muller.

Some Dianics fall into this category, acknowledging Z. Budapest as a foremother, and do not participate in the initiation / ordination lineage of Dianic Wicca.

An example of such a finite field is the ring Z / pZ, which is essentially the set of integers from 0 to p − 1 with integer addition and multiplication modulo p. It is also sometimes denoted Z < sub > p </ sub >, but within some areas of mathematics, particularly number theory, this may cause confusion because the same notation Z < sub > p </ sub > is used for the ring of p-adic integers.

Two isomorphic constructions of the field with 4 elements are ( Z / 2Z )/( T < sup > 2 </ sup >+ T + 1 ) and Z /( 2Z ), where φ =.

Here ( Z / 2Z ) is the polynomial ring of Z / 2Z and ( Z / 2Z )/( T < sup > 2 </ sup >+ T + 1 ) are the equivalence classes of these polynomials modulo T < sup > 2 </ sup >+ T + 1.

William Camden in his Remains commented, singling out some letters — Æ, K, W, Z — not found in the classical Roman alphabet:

These three axes — X, Y, and Z — are respectively an aircraft's roll, pitch, and yaw.

The general configuration of a channel was to connect the devices in a chain, like this: Mainframe — Control Unit X — Control Unit Y — Control Unit Z.

Anyone holding a valid Ontario driver's license ( i. e., excluding a motorcycle license ) with a " Z " endorsement can legally drive any air-brake-equipped truck-trailer combination with a registered-or actual-gross-vehicle-weight ( i. e., including towing-and towed-vehicle ) up to 11 metric tonnes, that includes one trailer weighing no more than 4. 6 tonnes if the license falls under the following three classes: Class E ( school bus — maximum 24-passenger capacity or ambulance ), F ( regular bus — maximum 24-passenger capacity or ambulance ) or G ( car, van, or small-truck ).

Some articles published in Tribuna were later incorporated into books Z deníku žurnalistova (" Of the Journalist's Diary ") and above all Jací jsme (" What we are like ") — in this book Peroutka mapped some myths about the Czech nation.

In 1982, Z Channel aired the 219-minute premiere version of Heaven's Gate on cable television — the first time that the longer version was widely exhibited — which Z Channel dubbed the " director's cut.

Three bridges cross the Big Piney River at Devil's Elbow — the modern Interstate 44 bridge, the later U. S. Route 66 alignment on Highway Z that was made possible by the Hooker Cut through a steep hillside, and the original U. S. Route 66 alignment on Teardrop Road that includes a historic bridge that's in the process of renovation.

The District-directive calling for establishing a secure area and construction of " Z " Division facilities referred to this as " Sandia Base " — apparently the first official recognition of the " Sandia " name.

Tests at the Z machine's current design maximum of 26-27 million amperes are set to begin in 2013, where proof of concept simulation verification, and Fusion break even, will be pursued.

An elementary proof of the statement that the product of primitive polynomials over Z is again primitive can be given as follows.

We formulate this proof directly for the case of polynomials over a UFD R, which is hardly different from its special case for R = Z.

Algeria had also won an Oscar for the movie Z, a political thriller directed by Costa Gavras.

The number of neutrons, N, is known as the neutron number of the atom ; thus, A = Z + N. Since protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass ( and the mass of the electrons is negligible for many purposes ), and the mass defect is usually very small compared to the mass, the atomic mass of an atom is roughly equal to A.

This central charge would thus be approximately half the atomic weight ( though it was almost 25 % off the figure for the atomic number in gold ( Z = 79, A = 197 ), the single element from which Rutherford made his guess ).

This led to the conclusion ( Moseley's law ) that the atomic number does closely correspond ( with an offset of one unit for K-lines, in Moseley's work ) to the calculated electric charge of the nucleus, i. e. the proton number Z.

William Drummond of Hawthornden, in an essay On the Character of a Perfect Anagram, tried to lay down permissible rules ( such as S standing for Z ), and possible letter omissions.

Conversely, a subset R defines a binary function if and only if, for any x in X and y in Y, there exists a unique z in Z such that ( x, y, z ) belongs to R.

Division of whole numbers can be thought of as a function ; if Z is the set of integers, N < sup >+</ sup > is the set of natural numbers ( except for zero ), and Q is the set of rational numbers, then division is a binary function from Z and N < sup >+</ sup > to Q.

The 21 consonant letters in the English alphabet are B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, X, Z, and usually W and Y: The letter Y stands for the consonant in " yoke ", the vowel in " myth " and the vowel in " funny ", and " yummy " for both consonant and vowel, for examples ; W almost always represents a consonant except in rare words ( mostly loanwords from Welsh ) like " crwth " " cwm ".

The symbol for atomic number is Z.

Rectifier and Z = Voltage reference ), for example:

Z is said to be a spurious variable and must be controlled for.

* 2009 – The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe devalues the Zimbabwean dollar for the third and final time, making Z $ 1 trillion now only Z $ 1 of the new currency ( this is equivalent to Z $ 10 septillion before the first devaluation ).
