 Delta-v - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The time-rate of change of delta-v is the magnitude of the acceleration caused by the engines, i.e., the thrust per kilogram total current mass.
The actual acceleration vector is found by adding the gravity vector and the vectors representing any other forces acting on the object to the vector representing the thrust per kilogram.
Without gravity or other external forces, delta-v, in the case of thrust in the direction of the velocity, is simply the change in speed.

 The Iraq Study Group chickens out. - By Fred Kaplan - Slate Magazine
At that time, U.S. combat forces in Iraq could be deployed only in units embedded with Iraqi forces, in rapid-reaction and special operations teams, and in training, equipping, advising, force protection, and search and rescue.
In other words, the commission does not say that U.S. combat forces should be deployed "only in units embedded with Iraqi forces." It says they should (or, rather, "could") be deployed "only" in Iraqi units and all those other kinds of units, too.
The meaning of "special operations teams" is clear: They're the Delta forces, SEALS, and other shadow soldiers currently chasing down al-Qaida forces and other terrorists.

 Hazards from explosions along the edge of a lava delta, Kilauea Volcano, Hawai`i
A lava delta grows seaward as lava enters the sea and builds a foundation of loose lava fragments on the submarine slope.
Since a growing delta may collapse or subside at any time and the intensity of any one type of explosion may change suddenly, a growing lava delta is hazardous and should only be viewed from behind the former sea cliffs.
A complete collapse of a delta's leading edge will sever lava tubes within the delta so that an open stream of lava pours into the sea and extremely hot rocks adjacent to the tube system are exposed to relatively cold seawater.

A former CIA officer said Thursday that he learned from Delta Force commandos that members of the secret Army unit were "present, up front and close" in helping the FBI in the final tear-gas assault on the Branch Davidian compound.
A May 1993 Special Forces memo stressed that the military in Waco played only "a supporting role." It was written by an officer who helped the FBI persuade the attorney general to approve the tear-gas assault.
Special Forces soldiers who trained ATF agents before they raided the compound on Feb. 28, 1993, were specifically barred from watching the raid or offering medical support, the documents indicate.
