Wheel - Open Encyclopedia The combination of the wheel with the wedge produced the toothed gear, which was fundamental to the advent of industrial class complex machines. The wheel was apparently unknown in Sub-saharan Africa and Australia until relatively recent contacts with Eurasians. Wheels can be fastened on an axle, which when fitted to a third object such as a vehicle body, will efficiently impart the energy of the converted linear motion to that body. open-encyclopedia.com /Wheel   (718 words)

Swedish language - Open Encyclopedia Swedish is the language of the Åland Islands, an autonomous province under the sovereignty of Finland. Vocal stress in Swedish is somewhat unusual: Although there are inflection rules to prevent two unemphasized syllables in a row, words may instead have two emphasized syllables consecutive. Swedish (svenska) is a language spoken principally in Sweden, Finland (finlandsvenska), Åland and in the coastland of Estonia (estlandssvenska). open-encyclopedia.com /Swedish_language   (2229 words)

Open marriage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Open marriage can be regarded as a broad spectrum of relationship types between strictly monogamous marriages and polyamory (involvement in loving relationships, of a sexual kind, with more than one person). Open marriage is not the same thing as polygamy, where sexual relationships are kept entirely within the parties to a formally-recognised marital arrangement. An open marriage is a marriage where both parties agree to permit sexual relationships for one or both outside the marriage, without regarding this as sexual infidelity. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_marriage   (1144 words)

Open wheel car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although the lower weight of an open wheel racecar allows for better performance, the exposure of the wheels to the airstream causes a very high aerodynamic drag at high speeds (the top of the tire is moving at double the speed of the car, and aerodynamic drag force varies with the square of the speed). Open wheel car is a term for cars, usually purpose-built racecars, with the wheels located outside the car's main body, as distinct from cars which have their wheels below the body or fenders, in the manner of most street cars, stock cars, or touring cars. However, because the cars do not particularly resemble road cars, and the aerodynamics favour leading drivers over tailing ones thus making overtaking difficult (not to mention the fragility of the cars making the bumping and jostling common in touring and stock car racing impossible), only a few open-wheel categories draw significant crowds. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open-wheeler   (442 words)

Water - Open Encyclopedia Polluting water may be the biggest single misuse of water; to the extent that a pollutant limits other uses of the water, it becomes a waste of the resource, regardless of benefits to the polluter. Water is a very good solvent and dissolves many types of substances, such as various salts and sugar, and facilitates their chemical interaction, which aids complex metabolisms. Water is lost from the body in urine and faeces, through sweating, and by exhalation of water vapour in the breath. open-encyclopedia.com /Water   (1775 words)

Open theism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first known mention of a concept similar to open theism with regard to the issue of foreknowledge is found in the writings of Calcidius, a 5th-century interpreter of Plato. Open theism is an alternative to some classical ideas about God, Classical Theism, stemming from a single crucial point of difference: Open theism asserts that the future exists partly in terms of possibilities rather than certainties. Open theism did not become widespread until 1994, when five essays were published by Evangelical scholars (including Rice) under the title The Openness of God. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_Theism   (1988 words)

Open spectrum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Open spectrum (also known as free spectrum) is a movement to get the government to provide more unlicensed spectrum, radio frequency spectrum that is available for use by all. Proponents of the "commons model" of open spectrum advocate a future where all the spectrum is shared, using Internet protocols to communicate with each other, and smart devices to find the most effective energy level, frequency, and mechanism. Negotiations to defend the parts of the spectrum most useful for observing the Universe are mostly carried out by the international astronomical community, as a grassroots community effort, coordinated in the Scientific Committee on Frequency Allocations for Radio Astronomy and Space Science (IUCAF). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_spectrum   (406 words)

Open - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Open (sport) - A type of competition in tennis and golf (among others) where entry is open to all qualifiers regardless of age. In science, where an open system (system theory) means a system in which matter or energy can flow into and/or out of the system, in contrast to a closed system in which no energy or matter may enter or leave the system. In computing, where an open system (computing) is a computer operating system that provides interoperability, portability or both, particularly Unix systems. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open   (178 words)

Open gaming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Open gaming is the movement within the role-playing game (RPG) industry that is somewhat analogous to the open source software movement. The Open Gaming Foundation (OGF)[1] was founded by Ryan Dancey as an independent forum for discussion of open gaming among the members of the fledgling open gaming movement. "Open gaming" can also be used to refer to a type of game event, typically at game conventions, where players are free to join at any time. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_gaming   (1294 words)

Open Inventor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Despite its age, the Open Inventor API is still widely used for a wide range of scientific and engineering visualization systems around the world, having proven itself well designed for effective development of complex 3D application software. Open Inventor was later opened for 3rd-party licensing, which is when it switched from "IRIS" to "Open". Open Inventor (OI) was written to address this issue, and provide a common base layer to start working with. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_Inventor   (1294 words)

Hong Kong Fanatic: Intro to Widescreen This open matte is for the most part just open on top and bottom, but notice that there is a little bit of information lost off the sides of the image. The result is a video release that has an Open Matte during non-effect shots but is Pan/Scanned during effect shots because there is no additional information that contains the special effect. This open matte for the most part has a little additional information added to the bottom but there is a bit of information that has been cropped from the sides too. www.hkfanatic.com /widescreen/matte/matte.php   (1294 words)

Open cluster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Because the stars in an open cluster are all at roughly the same distance from Earth, and were born at roughly the same time from the same raw material, the differences in apparent brightness among cluster members is due only to their mass. Astronomers dubbed the former globular clusters, and the latter open clusters. While most clusters become dispersed before a large proportion of their members have reached the white dwarf stage, the number of white dwarfs in open clusters is still generally much lower than would be expected, given the age of the cluster and the expected initial mass distribution of the stars. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_cluster   (3198 words)

Architecture - Open Encyclopedia In Vitruvius' words, "Architecture is a science, arising out of many other sciences, and adorned with much and varied learning: by the help of which a judgement is formed of those works which are the result of other arts". They felt that architecture was not a personal philosophical or aesthetic pursuit by individualists; rather it had to consider everyday needs of people and use technology to give a livable environment. The further back in history one goes, the greater is the consensus on what architecture is or is not, possibly because time is an efficient filter. open-encyclopedia.com /Architecture   (1792 words)

Zariski topology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Using the Noetherian property of the ring of polynomials over F, one sees that any closed set is the set of zeroes of a finite set of equations. This is a topology, because two basic axioms can be checked. The general case of the Zariski topology is based on the affine scheme and spectrum of a ring constructions, as local models. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Zariski_topology   (1792 words)

Thailand - Open Encyclopedia During that conflict Thailand was in a loose alliance with Japan; following its conclusion Thailand became an ally of the United States. Thailand's origin is traditionally tied to the short-lived kingdom of Sukhothai founded in 1238, after which the larger kingdom of Ayutthaya was established in the mid-14th century. Thailand is an active member of the regional Association of Southeast Asian Nations. open-encyclopedia.com /Thailand   (1024 words)

Encyclopedia: Open Text Corporation The system was integrated with Open Text's search technology, as well as a business process management solution. Open Text completed several corporate acquisitions in 2002 and 2003, the largest of which was its acquisition of IXOS — a German company nearly as large as Open Text itself — in October 2003. Open Text Corporation is a Canadian high-tech company based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Open-Text-Corporation   (1024 words)

Open standard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some people restrict their use of the term "open" to royalty-free technologies, while others do not; and some people restrict their use of the term "standard" to technologies approved by formalized committees that are open to participation by all interested parties and operate on a consensus basis, while others do not. The danish government has tried to make a definition of open standards, which also is used in pan european software development projects. The requirement to pay some small amount per user, is often an insurmountable problem for free software or open source implementations which can be redistributed by anyone. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_standard   (661 words)

Open source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Open source journalism referred to the standard journalistic techniques of news gathering and fact checking, and reflected a similar term that was in use from 1992 in military intelligence circles, open source intelligence. Open source politics is a term used to describe a political process that uses Internet technologies such as blogs and email to provide for a rapid feedback mechanism between political organizations and their supporters. Open source hardware — hardware whose initial specification, usually in a software format, are published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the hardware and source code without paying royalties or fees. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_source   (1429 words)

Open society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Democracies are examples of the "open society", whereas totalitarian dictatorships and autocratic monarchies are examples of the "closed society". In open societies, government is responsive and tolerant, and political mechanisms are transparent and flexible. An open society also has to be pluralistic and multicultural, in order to benefit from the maximum number of viewpoints possible to the given problems. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_society   (259 words)

Open shell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the context of atomic orbitals, an open shell is a valence shell which is not completely filled with electrons or which has not given all of its valence electrons through chemical bonds with other atoms or molecules during a chemical reaction. Having an open shell means that one or more electrons in the outer shell of the element is (are) available to react with an external atom or molecule to establish a chemical bond and is therefore unstable. When a reaction fills an open shell or removes all of its valence electrons, it releases energy and the resulting product is at a lower energy level and more stable. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_shell   (271 words)

Open set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Given topological spaces X and Y, a function f from X to Y is continuous if the preimage of every open set in Y is open in X. (Specifically: the union of open sets is open, the finite intersection of open sets is open, and in particular the empty set and X itself are open.) Such a family T of subsets is called a topology on X, and the members of the family are called the open sets of the topological space (X,T). Note also that "open" is not the opposite of "closed" (a closed set is the complement of an open set). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_set   (895 words)

Open relationship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some relationships permit sex outside the primary relationship, but not love (cf swinging); such relationships are open, but not polyamorous. An open relationship denotes a relationship (usually between two people) in which participants are free to take other partners; where the couple making this agreement is married, it is an open marriage. However, there is enough overlap between the two concepts that 'open relationship' is sometimes used as a catch-all substitute when speaking to people who may not be familiar with 'polyamory'. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_relationship   (242 words)

Reel-to-reel audio tape recording - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Reel to reel was still popular through to the end of the 1970s, despite the ubiquitous cassette, mostly because of the superior quality of open reel recordings. Reel-to-reel or open reel tape recording refers to the form of magnetic tape audio recording in which the recording medium is held on a reel, rather than being securely contained within a cassette. In use, the supply reel or feed reel containing the tape is mounted on a spindle; the end of the tape is manually pulled out of the reel, threaded through mechanical guides and a tape head assembly, and attached by friction to the hub of a second, initially empty takeup reel. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Reel-to-reel_audio_tape_recording   (1111 words)

Open proxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Because proxies are implicated in abuse, system administrators have developed a number of ways to refuse service to open proxies. With an "open" proxy, however, users outside the authorised group are able to access the machine providing this service, potentially for purposes that violate the law or terms of service, such as participating in online poker, spamming other sites, or creating zombie computers. An open proxy is a proxy server which is accessible by any Internet user. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_proxy   (305 words)

Phoenix Open - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Thunderbirds were not enthusiastic about running the event as he was as he did most of the work in getting a golf open started. The Phoenix Open is a nationally televised golf tournament, a part of the PGA Tour, held at the Tournament Players Club (TPC) in Scottsdale, Arizona around the last weekend in January. The tournament was renamed the FBR Open in October 2003. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Phoenix_Open   (539 words)

Open outsourcing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The problem of basing a solution on an immature or buggy open source project is reduced because the programmers are able to ascertain the current state of a particular project, or are willing to work on the project to push it further along in the directions you require, if you can afford those improvements. In general, the issues with feature creep are not resolved by open outsourcing, but at least the features being developed are the ones you specifically require for your business. Open outsourcing is a socioeconomic movement resulting from the marriage of the open source movement and the recent trend towards the international outsourcing of programming. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open_Outsourcing   (1323 words)

Cover (topology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Covers are commonly used in the context of topology. An open cover of X is said to be locally finite if every point of X has a neighborhood which intersects only finitely many sets in the cover. In mathematics, a cover of a set X is a collection of subsets C of X whose union is X. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cover_(topology)   (344 words)

Pan and scan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Often pan-and-scan compositors make use of this full-screen negative as a starting point, so that in some scenes the TV version may contain more image content than the widescreen version while in other scenes where such an "opened" composition is not appropriate a subset of the widescreen image may be selected. In other cases film directors reverse this process, creating a negative with information that extends above and below the widescreen theatrical image (this is sometimes referred to as a " full frame " composition). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Pan_and_scan   (344 words)
