The solar K-corona is the result of the Thomson scattering of solar radiation from solar coronal electrons.

NASA's STEREO mission generates three-dimensional images of the electron density around the sun by measuring this K-corona from two separate satellites.

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.

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 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.

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 >

At temperatures near 0 K, nearly all molecular motion ceases and, when entropy = S, ΔS = 0 for any adiabatic process.

The Fermi temperature is defined as this maximum energy divided by Boltzmann's constant, and is of the order of 80, 000 K for typical electron densities found in metals.

In 1953, K. Omelchenko, the minister for the protection of military and state secrets in USSR banned the press from publishing any more information on the Ainu living in the USSR.

Beard and typified by Howard K. Beale ) argued that the Republican Party in the 1860s was a tool of corrupt business interests, and that Johnson stood for the people.

Considerable confusion exists about the meanings of the SI ( or metric ) prefixes used with the unit byte, especially concerning prefixes such as kilo ( k or K ) and mega ( M ) as shown in the chart Prefixes for bit and byte.

The ' K ' of K & R C and the ' K ' in AWK both stand for ' Kernighan '.

( Note that K is the SI unit for temperature ( kelvin ) and should not be confused with k, the SI prefix for kilo.

Capitalization of the letter K became the de facto standard for binary notation, although this could not be extended to higher powers.

" 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 ..."

If X and Y are Banach spaces over the same ground field K, the set of all continuous K-linear maps T: X → Y is denoted by B ( X, Y ).

If X is a Banach space and K is the underlying field ( either the real or the complex numbers ), then K is itself a Banach space ( using the absolute value as norm ) and we can define the continuous dual space as X ′ = B ( X, K ), the space of continuous linear maps into K.

The spaceX * of all linear maps into K ( which is called the algebraic dual space to distinguish it from X ′) also induces a weak topology which is finer than that induced by the continuous dual since X ′ ⊆ X *.

For example, the K ' iche ' language spoken in Guatemala has the inflectional prefixes k-and x-to mark incompletive and completive aspect ; Mandarin Chinese has the aspect markers-le 了 ,-zhe 着, zài-在, and-guò 过 to mark the perfective, durative stative, durative progressive, and experiential aspects, and also marks aspect with adverbs ; and English marks the continuous aspect with the verb to be coupled with present participle and the perfect with the verb to have coupled with past participle.

In statistics, the Kolmogorov – Smirnov test ( K – S test ) is a nonparametric test for the equality of continuous, one-dimensional probability distributions that can be used to compare a sample with a reference probability distribution ( one-sample K – S test ), or to compare two samples ( two-sample K – S test ).

# The scalar multiplication ·: K × V → V, where K is the underlying scalar field of V, is jointly continuous.

Let K be a topological field, namely a field with a topology such that addition, multiplication, and division are continuous.

Let X be a topological vector space over K. Namely, X is a K vector space equipped with a topology so that vector addition and scalar multiplication are continuous.

The topological dual space consists of all linear functions from X into the base field K which are continuous with respect to the given topology.

is called Lipschitz continuous if there exists a real constant K ≥ 0 such that, for all x < sub > 1 </ sub > and x < sub > 2 </ sub > in X,

Otherwise, one can equivalently define a function to be Lipschitz continuous if and only if there exists a constant K ≥ 0 such that, for all x < sub > 1 </ sub > ≠ x < sub > 2 </ sub >,

* The function f ( x ) = defined for all real numbers is Lipschitz continuous with the Lipschitz constant K = 1, because it is everywhere differentiable and the absolute value of the derivative is bounded above by 1.

* An everywhere differentiable function g: R → R is Lipschitz continuous ( with K = sup | g ′( x )|) if and only if it has bounded first derivative ; one direction follows from the mean value theorem.

Plant potash lent the name to the element potassium, which was first derived from caustic potash, and also gave potassium its chemical symbol K ( cf German Kalium ), which ultimately derives from alkali.

The Cretaceous (, ), derived from the Latin " creta " ( chalk ), usually abbreviated K for its German translation Kreide ( chalk ), is a geologic period and system from circa to million years ( Ma ) ago.

In the abbreviated versions of the Cretaceous – Paleogene boundary, the K is the traditional abbreviation for the Cretaceous Period derived from the German name Kreidezeit, the Pg is the abbreviation for the Paleogene Period, and T is the abbreviation for the Tertiary Period ( comprising the Paleogene and Neogene ).
