Low-voltage electron microscopeLow-voltage electron microscope (LVEM) is an electron microscope which operates at accelerating voltages of a few kiloelectronvolts or less. Traditional electron microscopes use accelerating voltages in the range of 10-1000 keV. Low voltage imaging in transmitted electrons is possible in many new scanning electron detector. Low cost alternative is dedicated table top low voltage transmission electron microscope.
PorositéLa porosité est l'ensemble des vides (pores) d'un matériau, ces vides sont remplis par des fluides (liquides ou gaz). Les matériaux poreux sont très généralement des solides, mais il existe aussi des liquides poreux. La porosité est aussi une grandeur physique définie comme le rapport entre le volume des vides et le volume total d'un milieu poreux, sa valeur est comprise entre 0 et 1 (ou, en pourcentage, entre 0 et 100 %) : où : est la porosité, le volume des pores, et le volume total du matériau, c'est-à-dire la somme du volume de solide et du volume des pores.
Equatorial bulgeAn equatorial bulge is a difference between the equatorial and polar diameters of a planet, due to the centrifugal force exerted by the rotation about the body's axis. A rotating body tends to form an oblate spheroid rather than a sphere. Earth ellipsoid The planet Earth has a rather slight equatorial bulge; its equatorial diameter is about greater than its polar diameter, with a difference of about of the equatorial diameter. If Earth were scaled down to a globe with an equatorial diameter of , that difference would be only .
Statistical learning in language acquisitionStatistical learning is the ability for humans and other animals to extract statistical regularities from the world around them to learn about the environment. Although statistical learning is now thought to be a generalized learning mechanism, the phenomenon was first identified in human infant language acquisition. The earliest evidence for these statistical learning abilities comes from a study by Jenny Saffran, Richard Aslin, and Elissa Newport, in which 8-month-old infants were presented with nonsense streams of monotone speech.
