The scientific basis for Passive Solar Building Design has been developed from a combination of climatology, thermodynamics ( particularly heat transfer: conduction ( heat ), convection, and electromagnetic radiation ), fluid mechanics / natural convection ( passive movement of air and water without the use of electricity, fans or pumps ), and human thermal comfort based on heat index, psychrometrics and enthalpy control for buildings to be inhabited by humans or animals, sunrooms, solariums, and greenhouses for raising plants.

Since 1979, Passive Solar Building Design has been a critical element of achieving zero energy by educational institution experiments, and governments around the world, including the U. S. Department of Energy, and the energy research scientists that they have supported for decades.

Skylights are the antithesis of zero energy building Passive Solar Cooling in climates with an air conditioning requirement.

There is extensive use of super-insulated windows in the German Passive House standard.

Passive defence naval armour for use against shells and other projectile weapons has almost completely disappeared on modern warships.

Passive solar techniques, alternative toilet and sewage systems, thermal massing designs, basement battery systems, efficient windowing, and the array of other design tactics require some degree of non-standard construction, added expense, ongoing experimentation and maintenance, and also have an effect on the psychology of the space.

Passive solar heating can heat most buildings in even the coldest climates.

* Active transport and Passive transport-Movement of molecules into and out of cells.

Passive cable theory describes how voltage changes at a particular location on a dendrite transmit this electrical signal through a system of converging dendrite segments of different diameters, lengths, and electrical properties.

Passive voluntary euthanasia is legal throughout the U. S. per Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health.

Passive euthanasia entails the withholding of common treatments, such as antibiotics, necessary for the continuance of life.

Passive sub-irrigation, also known as passive hydroponics or semi-hydroponics, is a method wherein plants are grown in an inert porous medium that transports water and fertilizer to the roots by capillary action from a separate reservoir as necessary, reducing labour and providing a constant supply of water to the roots.

* Passive gravitational mass is a measure of the strength of an object's interaction with a gravitational field.

Passive gravitational mass is determined by dividing an object ’ s weight by its free-fall acceleration.

Passive cooling, or a single fan mounted on the power supply, was sufficient for many desktop computer CPUs until the late 1990s ; since then, most have required CPU fans mounted on their heat sinks, due to rising clock speeds and power consumption.

The 20th century Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci drew great inspiration from Machiavelli's writings on ethics, morals, and how they relate to the State and revolution in his writings on Passive Revolution, and how a society can be manipulated by controlling popular notions of morality.

Passive management ( also called passive investing ) is a financial strategy in which an investor ( or a fund manager ) invests in accordance with a pre-determined strategy that doesn't entail any forecasting ( e. g., any use of market timing or stock picking would not qualify as passive management ).

Passive management is most common on the equity market, where index funds track a stock market index, but it is becoming more common in other investment types, including bonds, commodities and hedge funds.

Solar radiation occurs predominantly through the roof and windows ( but also through walls ).

Solar heat gain through windows can be reduced by insulated glazing, shading, and orientation.

To the left, the smaller annex is actually the chapel's alter and retable, slightly recessed from the entrance ( the tail of the " T "), while to the right of this structure, is the Solar dos Pintos ; a larger two-story building with massive portico, surmounted by two visible windows.

Solar activities could presumably bring long periods of flood or drought.

M. Kornbluth's The Space Merchants ( 1953 ), Kurt Vonnegut's Player Piano ( 1952 ), and John Wyndham's Re-Birth ( 1953 ), works which we will later examine in detail.

This fiery swath was actually only a belt of minor planets, almost like the asteroid belt in the original Solar System.

Asteroids ( from Greek ἀστεροειδής-asteroeidēs, " star-like ", from " star " and " like, in form ") are a class of small Solar System bodies in orbit around the Sun.

These terms have historically been applied to any astronomical object orbiting the Sun that did not show the disk of a planet and was not observed to have the characteristics of an active comet, but as small objects in the outer Solar System were discovered, their volatile-based surfaces were found to more closely resemble comets, and so were often distinguished from traditional asteroids.

Thus the term asteroid has come increasingly to refer specifically to the small bodies of the inner Solar System out to the orbit of Jupiter, which are usually rocky or metallic.

This article will restrict the use of the term ' asteroid ' to the minor planets of the inner Solar System.

The information obtained by astrometric measurements provides information on the kinematics and physical origin of our Solar System and our galaxy, the Milky Way.

" As such, the meter is undefined for the purposes of measuring distances within the Solar System.

High-energy cosmic rays impacting Earth's atmosphere ( or any other matter in the Solar System ) produce minute quantities of antiparticles in the resulting particle jets, which are immediately annihilated by contact with nearby matter.

* 1989 – Voyager 2 spacecraft makes its closest approach to Neptune, the second to last planet in the Solar System at the time.

Note: because Solar System bodies are never perfect diffuse reflectors, astronomers use empirically derived relationships to predict apparent magnitudes when accuracy is required.

* IVS – A proprietary version with Digital Rights Management developed by 3D Solar UK Ltd for use in music downloaded from their Tronme Music Store and interactive music and video player.

This interdisciplinary field encompasses the search for habitable environments in our Solar System and habitable planets outside our Solar System, the search for evidence of prebiotic chemistry, laboratory and field research into the origins and early evolution of life on Earth, and studies of the potential for life to adapt to challenges on Earth and in outer space.

Druyan was responsible for the selection of the music on the Voyager Golden Record for the pioneering exploratory missions of the Solar System — Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.

Solar roofs have the potential to be more cost-effective than retrofitted solar power, because buildings need roofs anyway.

Solar cells have only small life-style impacts: The cells must be cleaned a few times per year.

Solar water heaters can save large amounts of fuel.

Solar furnaces are used in industry to produce extremely high temperatures without the need for fuel or large supplies of electricity.

Also, general relativity has passed stringent tests on the scale of the Solar System and binary stars while extrapolation to cosmological scales has been validated by the empirical successes of various aspects of the Big Bang theory.

Solar calendars assign a date to each solar day.

The remaining 14 naturally occurring elements possess half lives too short for them to have been present at the beginning of the Solar System, and are therefore considered to be transient elements.

Some of these elements, notably thorium ( atomic number 90 ) and uranium ( atomic number 92 ), have one or more isotopes with half-lives long enough to survive as remnants of the explosive stellar nucleosynthesis that produced the heavy elements before the formation of our Solar System.

The abundance of elements in the Solar System is in keeping with their origin from nucleosynthesis in the Big Bang and a number of progenitor supernova stars.
