Although the word latent means hidden or invisible, in modern usage for forensic science the term latent prints means any chance or accidental impression left by friction ridge skin on a surface, regardless of whether it is visible or invisible at the time of deposition.

In 1783 he published a paper on the temperature at which mercury freezes and in that paper made use of the idea of latent heat, although he did not use the term because he believed that it implied acceptance of a material theory of heat.

By sacrificing the exchange ' just like that ', for certain long term advantages, in positions with disrupted material balance, he discovered latent resources that few were capable of seeing and properly evaluating.

The term is used in contrast to a latent heat, which is the amount of heat exchanged that is hidden, meaning it occurs without change of temperature.

The term latent heat was introduced into calorimetry around 1750 by Joseph Black when studying system changes, such as of volume and pressure, when the thermodynamic system was held at constant temperature in a thermal bath.

The term " classical " refers not only to the chronology of these models but also contrasts with the more recent psychometric theories, generally referred to collectively as item response theory, which sometimes bear the appellation " modern " as in " modern latent trait theory ".

The term latent is used to emphasize that discrete item responses are taken to be observable manifestations of hypothesized traits, constructs, or attributes, not directly observed, but which must be inferred from the manifest responses.

Others argue that the term latent is not truly applicable in the case of homosexual urges, since they are often not in the unconscious or unexpressed category, but rather exist in the conscious mind and are ( often violently ) repressed on a conscious level.

An alternative term for PLS ( and more correct according to Svante Wold ) is projection to latent structures, but the term partial least squares is still dominant in many areas.

Additionally, the rule applies only if a court determines the term to be ambiguous, which often forms the substance of a contractual dispute, and such ambiguity is " latent " ( i. e., not so glaring, or " patent ", as to put the other party on clear notice of a problem with the wording or interpretation ).

The term mesocyclone is usually reserved for mid-level rotations within severe thunderstorms, and are warm core cyclones driven by latent heat of its associated thunderstorm activity.

To a special meeting of stake presidents on October 2, 1936, Clark would capture the goal of Church welfare: “ The real long term objective of the Welfare Plan is the building of character in the members of the Church, givers and receivers, rescuing all that is finest deep down inside of them, and bring to flower and fruitage the latent richness of the spirit which after all is the mission and purpose and reason for being of this Church .” Clark ’ s counsel remains the guiding principle of LDS Church welfare.

As such, the term " latent defect " is often used as part of the guarantee clauses in a sales contract so that the buyer can recover damages from the seller if defects turn up in the property after the sale.

Innate bisexuality ( or predisposition to bisexuality ) is a term introduced by Sigmund Freud ( based on work by his associate Wilhelm Fliess ), that expounds all humans are born bisexual but through psychological development ( which includes both external and internal factors ) become monosexual while the bisexuality remains in a latent state.

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 term " adiabatic " literally means impassable, coming from the Greek roots ἀ-(" not "), διὰ-(" through "), and βαῖνειν (" to pass "); this etymology corresponds here to an absence of heat transfer.

In North America, the term " Btu " is used to describe the heat value ( energy content ) of fuels, and also to describe the power of heating and cooling systems, such as furnaces, stoves, barbecue grills, and air conditioners.

A bain-marie (; also known as a water bath in English,,, or ) is a French term for a piece of equipment used in science, industry, and cooking to heat materials gently and gradually to fixed temperatures, or to keep materials warm over a period of time.

Another useful term is the heat of combustion, which is the energy released due to a combustion reaction and often applied in the study of fuels.

In the diagram, the “ working body ” ( system ), a term introduced by Clausius in 1850, can be any fluid or vapor body through which heat Q can be introduced or transmitted to produce work.

: This term is used both for conventional p – n diodes used to monitor temperature due to their varying forward voltage with temperature, and for Peltier heat pumps for thermoelectric heating and cooling .. Peltier heat pumps may be made from semiconductor, though they do not have any rectifying junctions, they use the differing behaviour of charge carriers in N and P type semiconductor to move heat.

However, the word " heat " is a highly technical term in physics and thermodynamics, and is often confused with thermal energy.

In thermodynamics, the term exothermic (" outside heating ") describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system, usually in the form of heat, but also in the form of light ( e. g. a spark, flame, or explosion ), electricity ( e. g. a battery ), or sound ( e. g. burning hydrogen ).

Thus in each term ( endothermic & exothermic ) the prefix refers to where heat goes as the reaction occurs.

The term is believed to derive from the word " slake ", as in slaking the heat.

The word radiation is often colloquially used in reference to ionizing radiation ( i. e., radiation having sufficient energy to ionize an atom ), but the term radiation may correctly also refer to non-ionizing radiation ( e. g., radio waves, heat or visible light ).

Pierre Perrot claims that the term thermodynamics was coined by James Joule in 1858 to designate the science of relations between heat and power.

As a result, devices were shown to produce this effect reliably, and the term thermoscope was adopted because it reflected the changes in sensible heat ( the concept of temperature was yet to arise ).

The term thermobaric is derived from the Greek words for " heat " and " pressure ": thermobarikos ( θερμοβαρικός ), from thermos ( θερμός ), hot + baros ( βάρος ), weight, pressure + suffix-ikos (- ικός ), suffix-ic.

The less-used term heat island refers to any area, populated or not, which is consistently hotter than the surrounding area.

The term " bangers " is attributed to the fact that sausages, particularly the kind made during World War II under rationing, were made with water so they were more likely to explode under high heat if not cooked carefully ; modern sausages do not have this attribute.

Cauterization ( fusing a wound closed with extreme heat ) was successful but limited-it was destructive, painful and in the long term had very poor outcomes.

In the context of heat and mass transfer, the term " convection " is used to refer to the sum of advective and diffusive transfer.

Note that in common use the term convection may refer loosely to heat transfer by convection, as opposed to mass transfer by convection, or the convection process in general.

The first term in the right-hand side represents the net electromagnetic energy flow into a small volume, while the second term represents the subtracted portion of the work done by free electrical currents that are not necessarily converted into electromagnetic energy ( dissipation, heat ).

It is the coefficient of the x < sup > k </ sup > term in the polynomial expansion of the binomial power ( 1 + x )< sup > n </ sup >.

This number can be seen as equal to the one of the first definition, independently of any of the formulas below to compute it: if in each of the n factors of the power one temporarily labels the term X with an index i ( running from 1 to n ), then each subset of k indices gives after expansion a contribution X < sup > k </ sup >, and the coefficient of that monomial in the result will be the number of such subsets.

This has the effect of changing the sign of every other term in the expansion:

then, according to the distributive law, there will be one term in the expansion for each choice of either x or y from each of the binomials of the product.

The field of a point dipole has a particularly simple form, and the order-1 term in the multipole expansion is precisely the point dipole field.

This is simply one term in the multipole expansion when the total charge (" monopole moment ") is 0 — as it always is for the magnetic case, since there are no magnetic monopoles.

This term appears as the second term in the multipole expansion of an arbitrary electrostatic potential Φ ( r ).

If the source of Φ ( r ) is a dipole, as it is assumed here, this term is the only non-vanishing term in the multipole expansion of Φ ( r ).

He suggests that one element of this expansion in use " involves the application of the term diaspora to an ever-broadening set of cases: essentially to any and every nameable population category that is to some extent dispersed in space ".

Within the canonical formulation of quantum field theory, a Feynman diagram represents a term in the Wick's expansion of the perturbative S-matrix.

The number of vertices gives the order of the term in the perturbation series expansion of the transition amplitude.

A Feynman diagram is a graphical representation of a term in the Wick's expansion of the time-ordered product in the-th order term of the S-matrix,

Within a few years, this previously obscure term featured regularly in the lexicon of the conservative social and political challenges against curriculum expansion and progressive teaching methods in US high schools and universities.

Amongst the policies introduced by Trudeau's last term in office included an expansion in government support for Canada ’ s poorest citizens and the introduction of the National Energy Program ( NEP ), which created a firestorm of protest in the Western provinces and increased what many termed " Western alienation ".

A corruption scandal discovered late in his first term involved misdeeds around the expansion of the Beauharnois Canal in Quebec ; this led to extensive inquiries and eventually a Royal Commission, which exposed the Beauharnois Scandal.

However, there is a growing academic literature that shows that fiscal expansion helps an economy grow in the near term, and that certain types of fiscal stimulus are particularly effective.

Money markets allow firms to borrow funds on a short term basis, while capital markets allow corporations to gain long-term funding to support expansion.

Territorial results of the Compromise: < ul >< li > California is admitted List of U. S. state partition proposals # California | undivided as a Slave and free states | free state, denying Southern expansion to the Pacific < li > Texas trades some territorial claims for debt relief < li > U. S. provisional government of New Mexico | New Mexico and State of Deseret | Deseret are denied statehood and become New Mexico Territory and Utah Territory with slavery left to Popular sovereignty in the United States # Emergence of the term “ popular sovereignty ” and its pejorative connotation | popular sovereignty </ ol >

During his term, the controversy over the expansion of slavery in new lands had reemerged with the addition of the lands ceded to the United States by Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo at the conclusion of the Mexican-American War.

The specific sense of the term was coined in the 16th and 17th century, during the great expansion in European maritime power and trade that led to the establishment of European colonies in other continents.

The urban expansion has seen structured development plans with the long term objective of making " Thimphu a dream city " by 2027.
