If the Z gyro is drifting, a current generated by the autocollimator is delivered to the gyro torquer to cancel the drift.

When the platform is level, **ye is a rotation about the Z axis of the platform Af.

that is, it is known empirically that names beginning with R are more common than those beginning with Z ; ;

It is conventionally represented by the symbol Z.

The atomic number, Z, should not be confused with the mass number, A, which is the number of nucleons, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

The number of neutrons, N, is known as the neutron number of the atom ; thus, A = Z + N. Since protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass ( and the mass of the electrons is negligible for many purposes ), and the mass defect is usually very small compared to the mass, the atomic mass of an atom is roughly equal to A.

This placement is consistent with the modern practice of ordering the elements by proton number, Z, but this number was not known or suspected at the time.

Each element has a specific set of chemical properties as a consequence of the number of electrons present in the neutral atom, which is Z ( the atomic number ).

Puttenham, in the time of Elizabeth I of England, wished to start from Elissabet Anglorum Regina ( Elizabeth Queen of the English ), to obtain Multa regnabis ense gloria ( By thy sword shalt thou reign in great renown ); he explains carefully that H is " a note of aspiration only and no letter ", and that Z in Greek or Hebrew is a mere SS.

The unique ring homomorphism from Z to A is determined by the fact that it must send 1 to the identity in A.

* Any ring of characteristic n is a ( Z / nZ )- algebra in the same way.

* Any ring A is an algebra over its center Z ( A ), or over any subring of its center.

In the United States, Z is pronounced zee ; in most other English-speaking countries it is pronounced zed.

Thus for an ion which traverses a 1 m flight path, across a time of 2000 ns, given an initial accelerating voltage of 5000 V and noting that one amu is 1 × 10 < sup >− 27 </ sup > kg, the mass-to-charge ratio ( more correctly the mass-to-ionisation value ratio ) becomes Z amu / charge.

An example is the " divides " relation between the set of prime numbers P and the set of integers Z, in which every prime p is associated with every integer z that is a multiple of p ( and not with any integer that is not a multiple of p ).

Disney's archivist Dave Smith, in " Disney A to Z ," said, " Note that the brightest hue of the three is red ( Huey ), the color of water, dew, is blue ( Dewey ), and that leaves Louie, and leaves are green.

This can be ensured by making the load impedance equal to Z < sub > 0 </ sub >, in which case the transmission line is said to be matched.

In a 1984 interview with Sports Illustrated writer Paul " Dr. Z " Zimmerman, when asked what position he would play if he were coming up in the present day, he said, " I would probably be a linebacker today.

" When Jay Z was asked about Gallagher's comments he said " I haven't spoken to him, I heard he was reaching out.

Amuro also is said to have piloted an MSZ-006A1, the prototype in the Z Plus series mobile suits, but this was supposedly a marketing scheme by Anaheim Electronics to push sales of the MS line.

The Vietnam War, and I was the head of the advance party of the PHILCAG ( Philippine Civil Action Group to Vietnam ) that went to a tiny province at the Cambodian border – the so-called Alligator Jaw – War Zone Z where even Max Soliven said ‘ The Viet-Cong will eat us up .’ Of course, we were physically there as non-combat troops.

Others have said that Oz stands for New York, since the letters of the alphabet before O and Z are N and Y respectively.

* " Method for computing future life expectancies, said method comprising gathering data including X, Y, Z, ..."

" In the Toronto Star, Peter Howell said, " The film's deeper intentions ... elevate it into the company of such landmark works of historical argument as Peter Watkins's The War Game, Costa-Gavras's Z and, closer to home, Michel Brault's Les Ordres.

This is reminiscent of Albert Z. Carr's famous and controversial Harvard Business Review article on bluffing, where he said business was similar to playing poker, and that deception is a necessary part of business.

" said Z Berg, lead vocalist for the Like.

Some examples where this occurs are Robotech, the FUNimation English dub of Dragon Ball Z ( in this case, they just extended the one or two sentences the narrator said during the recap into him talking the whole time ), and the 4Kids English-language version of One Piece.

For instance, the ditransitive schema V IO DO is said to express semantic content X CAUSES Y TO RECEIVE Z, just like kill means X CAUSES Y TO DIE.

Max Brooks said that The Good War inspired him to write his novel World War Z. Brooks stated: " It's an oral history of World War II I read when I was a teenager and it's sat with me ever since.

Despite his cowardice and smart-aleck nature, Kai was easily the second-best mobile suit pilot on White Base after Amuro, proven when he accurately shoots a Z ' gok that was leaping from the water at high-speeds with the Guntank's slow-firing heavy cannons, a feat Hayato never matches in said suit.

Moseley inquired if Bohr thought that the electromagnetic emission spectra of cobalt and nickel would follow their ordering by weight, or by their periodic table position ( atomic number, Z ), and Bohr said it would certainly be by Z. Moseley's reply was " We shall see!

This central charge would thus be approximately half the atomic weight ( though it was almost 25 % off the figure for the atomic number in gold ( Z = 79, A = 197 ), the single element from which Rutherford made his guess ).

Moseley, after discussions with Bohr who was at the same lab ( and who had used Van den Broek's hypothesis in his Bohr model of the atom ), decided to test Van den Broek and Bohr's hypothesis directly, by seeing if spectral lines emitted from excited atoms fit the Bohr theory's demand that the frequency of the spectral lines be proportional to a measure of the square of Z.

Alternatively, a binary function may be interpreted as simply a function from X × Y to Z.

Division of whole numbers can be thought of as a function ; if Z is the set of integers, N < sup >+</ sup > is the set of natural numbers ( except for zero ), and Q is the set of rational numbers, then division is a binary function from Z and N < sup >+</ sup > to Q.

For example, the division example above may also be interpreted as a partial binary function from Z and N to Q, where N is the set of all natural numbers, including zero.

A bilinear transformation, like any binary function, can be interpreted as a function from X × Y to Z, but this function in general won't be linear.

However, the bilinear transformation can also be interpreted as a single linear transformation from the tensor product to Z.

where is the Boltzmann constant, T is temperature ( assumed to be a well-defined quantity ), is the degeneracy ( meaning, the number of levels having energy ; sometimes, the more general ' states ' are used instead of levels, to avoid using degeneracy in the equation ), N is the total number of particles and Z ( T ) is the partition function.

The purpose of the CIP system is to assign an R or S descriptor to each stereocenter and an E or Z descriptor to each double bond so that the configuration of the entire molecule can be specified uniquely by including the descriptors in its systematic name.

Two of the first films to be re-released as a director's cut were Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate ( first aired on the Los Angeles cable station Z Channel ) and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner.

But there could be a third variable ( Z ) that influences ( Y ), and X might not be the true cause at all.

The effective nuclear charge, Z * experienced by valence electrons can be estimated using Slater's rules, while the surface area of an atom in a molecule can be taken to be proportional to the square of the covalent radius, r < sub > cov </ sub >.

Some days after that meeting, the delegation was approached by three French agents ( at first identified as " X ", " Y ", and " Z " in published papers, leading the controversy to be called the " XYZ Affair ") who demanded substantial bribes from the commissioners before negotiations could continue.

In Z < sub >< var > p </ var ></ sub > for a prime number < var > p </ var >, one non-identity element can be replaced by any other, with corresponding changes in the other elements.

The Lie group could be / Z < sub > 2 </ sub >, just to take a random example.

Also consider the group ( Z < sub > 2 </ sub > × Z < sub > 3 </ sub >, +), the ordered pairs where the x coordinates can be 0 or 1, and the y coordinates can be 0, 1, or 2, where addition in the x-coordinate is modulo 2 and addition in the y-coordinate is modulo 3.
