* Specific impulse, represented by I < sub > sp </ sub >, a term used to describe rocket and jet engine thrust

* Specific impulse: 1, 100 – 1, 600 s

Specific impulse ( usually abbreviated I < sub > sp </ sub >) is a way to describe the efficiency of rocket and jet engines.

Specific impulse and effective exhaust velocity are proportional.

Specific impulse is a useful value to compare engines, much like miles per gallon or litres per 100 kilometres is used for cars.

Specific fuel consumption is inversely proportional to specific impulse and effective exhaust velocity.

* Specific impulse

This increased fuel consumption offsets somewhat the savings in oxidizer mass ; these losses are in turn offset by the higher Isp ( Specific impulse ) of the air-breathing engine.

As noted the specific impulse of monopropellants is lower than bipropellants and can be found with the Air Force Chemical Equilibrium Specific Impulse Code tool.

* Specific impulse

* Specific impulse

Specific impulse ( Isp ) measures how much thrust can be derived from a given mass of fuel, and is a standard figure of merit for rocketry.

Specific impulse: 224 s

Specific impulse values from 200 seconds to several thousand seconds are possible by choosing the propellant and laser pulse characteristics.

* Specific impulse: 305 s.

* Specific impulse

* Specific impulse, the change in momentum per unit mass of propellant of a propulsion system

Specific objects or even days can be holy, but they derive holiness from being connected with God — the seventh day, the tabernacle, and the priests all derive their holiness from God.

Specific instances of current PGP, or IDEA, insecurities — if they exist — are not publicly known.

A common example of assimilation is the tendency of prefixes ending in N to assume an M sound before Ps ( such as in + pulse → impulse — see also List of Latin words with English derivatives ).

Adorno ’ s 1949 dictum —" To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric "— posed the question of what German culture could mean after Auschwitz ; his own continual revision of this dictum — in Negative Dialectics, for example, he wrote that " Perennial suffering has as much right to expression as a tortured man has to scream "; while in “ Commitment ,” he wrote in 1962 that the dictum " expresses in negative form the impulse which inspires committed literature "— was part of post-war Germany ’ s struggle with history and culture.

Artists gravitating towards this aesthetic defined themselves by rejecting the themes of expressionism — romanticism, fantasy, subjectivity, raw emotion and impulse — and focused instead on precision, deliberateness, and depicting the factual and the real.

For instance, the Martian Gekko " radiates displeasure " upon understanding what is meant by " london-zoo ," and further discovering that Howe meant to sell Willis to a zoo — a reaction not dissimilar to that of Mike, who oftens senses a " wrongness " in cages, and whose first impulse when encountering the caged animals of a zoo is to attempt to set them free.

On a microcosmic level, however, the lifelong oscillation between the two " poles of fear " can be made more bearable, according to Rank, in a relationship with another person who accepts one's uniqueness and difference, and allows for the emergence of the creative impulse — without too much guilt or anxiety for separating from the other.

The random universe Stephen Crane warned us about — the berserk cosmic impulse that causes earthquakes and famine and AIDS — is nowhere better depicted than in the scene where Tom Neal stands by the roadside, soaking in the midnight rain, feeling for the first time the noose drawing tighter and tighter around his neck.

Even with such a motivation, it would be difficult to get Manion cleared of murder, so Biegler pushes him into a position where he claims to have no memory of the event, thus giving them a chance of winning his freedom with a defense of irresistible impulse — a version of a temporary insanity defense.

A note left by Manion tells Biegler that he was " seized by an irresistible impulse " — the defense used by Biegler during the trial.

As a qualitative comparison, traditional chemical rockets — such as the Saturn V that took the Apollo program to the Moon — produce high thrust with low specific impulse, whereas electric ion engines produce a small amount of thrust very efficiently.

Conventional thought has been that hydrogen — although it gives excellent specific impulse — is not space storable.

The optimum matched filter for separating any waveform from white noise is obtained by sampling that shape and using those samples in reverse order as the coefficients of the filter — giving the filter an impulse response that is the time-reverse of the expected input signal.

* Adaptive behavior — Poor impulse control, poor personal boundaries, poor anger management, stubbornness, intrusive behavior, too friendly with strangers, poor daily living skills, developmental delays

In the late 1870s Pelton modeled, tested and manufactured his first turbine wheel, dubbed the Pelton Runner — later referring to the impulse blades only — at the Miners Foundry in Nevada City, California.

In order to measure the point spread function — or impulse response function — of the lens, we do not need a perfect point source that radiates a perfect spherical wave in all directions of space.

In this case, P is a convolution of the impulse response susceptibility χ and the electric field E. Such a convolution takes on a simpler form in the frequency domain — by Fourier transforming the relationship and applying the convolution theorem, one obtains the following relation for a linear time-invariant medium:

The impulse given by Rashi to study did not cease with his death ; his successors — the members of his family first among them — brilliantly continued his work.

* A Little MLS Tutorial — Short on-line tutorial from Robert Bristow-Johnson describing how MLS is used to obtain the impulse response of a linear time-invariant system.

He apparently felt such an impulse — if not from Byron's poem, then from the program Balakirev gave him — and that impulse brought forth a work of great originality and power.
