  What is Synthetic Aperture Radar? -- Sandia National Laboratories
Synthetic aperture radar complements photographic and other optical imaging capabilities because of the minimum constraints on time-of-day and atmospheric conditions and because of the unique responses of terrain and cultural targets to radar frequencies.
Synthetic aperture radar technology has provided terrain structural information to geologists for mineral exploration, oil spill boundaries on water to environmentalists, sea state and ice hazard maps to navigators, and reconnaissance and targeting information to military operations.
Range measurement and resolution are achieved in synthetic aperture radar in the same manner as most other radars: Range is determined by precisely measuring the time from transmission of a pulse to receiving the echo from a target and, in the simplest SAR, range resolution is determined by the transmitted pulse width, i.e.

 handprint : synthetic inorganic pigments
Nearly all synthetic inorganic pigments were discovered or identified in the grand European flowering of inorganic chemistry that occurred in the century after 1750, when European industries sponsored intensive minerological and metallurgical research, and early chemists isolated and identified many new metallic elements — cadmium, cobalt, chromium, zinc, manganese, magnesium, and so on.
Synthetic manufacture was known at least by the 15th century, though large scale production (and common use in artists' paints) did not emerge until the middle 19th century.
This synthetic inorganic pigment was made from the urine of cows fed on mango leaves; crystals of the concentrated dried urine were formed into balls and covered with mud for shipment to England.

 Lawn Fertilizer — Organic or Synthetic
Synthetic simply means “man made” and the common nitrogen sources such as ammonia, ammonium sulfate, and urea are by-products from the oil and natural gas industry.
Synthetic fertilizers are usually concentrated, cheaper, and pre-packaged for easy transport, except when gardeners have access to free manure or compost.
While highly concentrated synthetic fertilizers are easier to transport, it is possible to apply very precise samll doses of nitrogen in late spring by using organic fertilizers which tend to have small NPK numbers, e.g.

 [No title]
Indeed, synthetic lubricant technology is swiftly progressing to a point where it is possible that engine wear may no longer continue to be the major limiting factor in the expected life span of motor vehicles.
What this means is that synthetics are custom-designed products in which each phase of their molecular construction is programmed to produce what may be called "the ideal lubricant." This process departs significantly from that of petroleum lubricants, whose physical components, both desirable and undesirable, are inherited from the crude oil from which they are refined.
Synthetics, with their capacity to maintain proper (low) viscosity and lubricity under these high heat and stress conditions, and with their natural resistance to oxidation, have risen to the fore.

A synthetic economy is an economy generated by a software program that implements a multi-user domain (MUD) on the internet.
The largest synthetic economies are currently found in massively multiplayer online roleplaying games (MMORPGs), such as EverQuest, Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot, and Lineage.
Choice, scarcity, specialization, and gains from trade are at the core of the class of problems studied by contemporary economics.

 IISRP - We use Rubber in so many ways
Synthetic rubber is man-made and is produced around the world in manufacturing plants that synthesize it from petroleum and other minerals.
Although man began experimenting with synthetic in 1906, not until after World War II did he improve the quality to the point that it rivaled that of natural rubber.
Synthetic rubber plants were built around the world after 1945, primarily in Europe, North America, and Japan.

While AMSOIL believes that synthetic lubricants should be made from premium grade PAO synthetic base stocks, many lubricant manufacturers choose to use mineral oils as their basestocks, greatly impacting the quality and protective ability of their oils.
The strength of synthetic lubrication is the ability to eliminate the organic elements that cause conventional petroleum oils to breakdown and lose efficiency.
AMSOIL is not a "miracle" product, but a line of synthetic lubricants that trace their origins to AMSOIL founder and president Albert J. Amatuzio's experience with fighter aircraft, which rely exclusively on synthetic lubrication because of their exacting and extreme requirements.

 handprint : synthetic organic pigments
Synthetic organic pigments are manufactured to be very potent and are often the most saturated and strongest tinting colorants available for any specific hue.
Synthetic organic pigments can also take on a variety of crystal modifications (especially in the phthalocyanines and quinacridones), and these can have very different color and lightfastness characteristics, although all are grouped under the same color index name.
About half the total volume of synthetic organic dyes and pigments produced around the world is used in printing inks; another quarter is used in architectural paints; and the rest for coloring textiles, plastics, automotive finishes, ceramics, enamels, papers, cements, candles, foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

 BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Synthetic trees could purify air
If built to scale, according to Dr Lackner, synthetic trees could help clean up an atmosphere grown heavy with carbon dioxide, the most abundant gas produced by humans and implicated in climate warming.
He predicts that one synthetic tree could remove 90,000 tonnes of CO2 in a year - the emissions equivalent of 15,000 cars.
He estimated that 250,000 synthetic trees worldwide would be needed to soak up the 22 billion tonnes of CO2 produced annually.

 Jet fuel from just coal close
The Johannesburg-based technical magazine Engineering News reported on Friday the idea of synthetic jet fuel from coal originated 20 years ago, and arose from the need to ensure local availability of jet fuel during apartheid days, in case of an embargo.
Piet Roets, Sasol's research and development manager told the magazine that about three years ago, the company's semi-synthetic jet fuel took off commercially when it gained the approval of the international aviation fuels committee, which is part of Britain's ministry of defence.
Fully synthetic fuels have far lower emissions of harmful substances such as sulphur, better thermal stability so they act as a coolant in high-temperature jet engines, and are substantially cheaper to produce.
