Let Q be a nonsingular quadric surface bearing reguli Af and Af, and let **zg be a Af curve of order K on Q.

The class of the congruence is Af, since an arbitrary plane meets **zg in K points.

Since the complex of singular lines is of order K and since there is no complex of invariant lines, it follows from the formula Af that the order of the involution is Af.

Since C is rational, this correspondence has K coincidences, each of which implies a line of the pencil which meets its image.

For if such were the case, either the plane of the two lines would meet **zg in more than K points or, alternatively, the order of the image regulus of the pencil determined by the two lines would be too high.

The K factor, a term used to denote the rate of heat transmission through a material ( B.t.u./sq. ft. of material/hr./*0F./in. of thickness ) ranges from 0.24 to 0.28 for flexible urethane foams and from 0.12 to 0.16 for rigid urethane foams, depending upon the formulation, density, cell size, and nature of blowing agents used.

Table 1,, p. 394, shows a comparison of K factor ratings of a number of commercial insulating materials in common use, including two different types of rigid urethane foam.

The man most firmly at grips with the problem is the University of Minnesota's Physiologist Ancel Keys, 57, inventor of the wartime K ( for Keys ) ration and author of last year's bestselling Eat Well And Stay Well.

The equilibrium constant K is an expression of the equilibrium concentrations of the molecules or the ions in solution.

The acid dissociation constant K < sub > a </ sub > is generally used in the context of acid-base reactions.

The stronger of two acids will have a higher K < sub > a </ sub > than the weaker acid ; the ratio of hydrogen ions to acid will be higher for the stronger acid as the stronger acid has a greater tendency to lose its proton.

Charles K. Smith argues that Swift ’ s rhetorical style persuades the reader to detest the speaker and pity the Irish.

To do this, Moseley measured the wavelengths of the innermost photon transitions ( K and L lines ) produced by the elements from aluminum ( Z = 13 ) to gold ( Z = 79 ) used as a series of movable anodic targets inside an x-ray tube.

Maj. Gen. Polk ignored the problems of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson when he took command and, after Johnston took command, at first refused to comply with Johnston's order to send an engineer, Lt. Joseph K. Dixon, to inspect the forts.

The numerical value of K < sub > a </ sub > is equal to the concentration of the products divided by the concentration of the reactants, where the reactant is the acid ( HA ) and the products are the conjugate base and H < sup >+</ sup >.

Because the range of possible values for K < sub > a </ sub > spans many orders of magnitude, a more manageable constant, pK < sub > a </ sub > is more frequently used, where pK < sub > a </ sub >

Its triple point temperature of 83. 8058 K is a defining fixed point in the International Temperature Scale of 1990.

If K is a number field, its ring of integers is the subring of algebraic integers in K, and is frequently denoted as O < sub > K </ sub >.

In the case of a Galois extension L / K the subgroup of all automorphisms of L fixing K pointwise is called the Galois group of the extension.

Paul Thompson is the W. K.

For the specific heats at least, the limiting value itself is definitely zero, as borne out by experiments to below 10 K. Even the less detailed Einstein model shows this curious drop in specific heats.

On the other hand, when science fiction author Philip K. Dick was asked which science fiction writers had influenced his work the most, he replied:

" Tal Cohen of Tal Cohen's Bookshelf called The Edge of Human " a good book ", praising Jeter's " further, and deeper, investigation of the questions Philip K. Dick originally asked ", but criticized the book for its " needless grandioseness " and for " rel on Blade Runner too heavily, the number of new characters introduced is extremely small ..."

Senator Alan K.

* Someone is asked to estimate the proportion of words that begin with the letter " R " or " K " versus those words that have the letter " R " or " K " in the third position.

In another well-known study, subjects were asked, “ If a random word is taken from an English text, is it more likely that the word starts with a K, or that K is the third letter ?” Results showed that participants overestimated the number of words that began with the letter “ k ”, but underestimated the number of words that had “ k ” as the third letter.

A poll in October 2011 on behalf of the Greek TV channel Skai TV and the newspaper Kathimerini ( after the necessary austerity measures that were taken to tackle the financial crisis ) however, revealed that of the people asked, 92 % felt disappointed by the government while only 5 % believe that a PA.
