The Long Tail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term long tail is also generally used in statistics, often applied in relation to wealth distributions or vocabulary use. In situations where popularity is currently determined by the lowest common denominator, a Long Tail model may lead to improvement in a society's level of culture. In many cases the infrequent or low-amplitude events—the long tail, represented here by the yellow portion of the graph—can cumulatively outnumber or outweigh the initial portion of the graph, such that in aggregate they comprise the majority. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Long_Tail   (1369 words)

comet tail comet tail comet tail comet tail The dust tail consists of dust particles that have been pushed out of the coma by radiation pressure from the sun. Compared to the ION tail, the dust tail is morphologically diffuse, and appears white or slightly pink (because the dust grains reflect sunlight slightly better at longer wavelengths than at shorter wavelengths). The dust particles in the tail are individually in orbit about the sun, each with slightly less attraction to the sun than the nucleus because of the effect of radiation pressure. www.ifa.hawaii.edu /faculty/jewitt/tail.html   (267 words)

CG Article: Tail Bandaging Wrap the tail about a third of the tail length and then wrap back down the tail so there are multiple layers of gauze, and you have used the entire one and a half rolls. Then we come to the actual details of a tail bandage; here's my version. Then wrap the remaining gauze around the bandaging, continuing up the tail, wrapping around the tail and moving up the tail an inch with each lap. www.adopt-a-greyhound.org /cgmagazine/tailbandaging.htm   (1256 words)

Cold Tail, Limber Tail, Dead Tail The cause of limber tail is not known although it is thought to be associated with hard workouts (especially in underconditioned dogs), heavy hunting, and swimming or bathing in water that is too cold or too warm. Ongoing studies suggest that limber tail is associaed with muscle damage in the tail with dogs examined early in showing elevated muscle enzymes eg., creatine phosphokinase. Limber tail syndrome and "cold water tail" while known to those who work with hunting dogs, may not be familiar to veterinarians. www.woodhavenlabs.com /coldtail.html   (388 words)

Tail Rubbing - TheHorse.com Tail rubbing is a condition resulting from the horse's rubbing back and forth on an object--such as a fence post, feed buckets, or water buckets--in order to relieve the itching, or pruritis, which might be caused by the eggs of pinworms that are laid around a horse's anal area. Possibly, there might be some digestive-related problems due to "stress" from tail rubbing. Treatment in the form of deworming is very effective at stopping tail rubbing caused by adult pinworm infection. www.thehorse.com /viewarticle.aspx?ID=583   (1108 words)

V-tail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In aircraft, a V-tail (sometimes called a "butterfly tail") is an unconventional arrangement of the tail control surfaces that replaces the traditional fin and horizontal surfaces with two surfaces set in a V-shaped configuration when viewed from the front or rear of the aircraft. With fewer surfaces than a conventional tail, the V-tail is lighter and produces less drag. The air flowing over the tail surfaces is also likely to be less turbulent. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/V-tail   (334 words)

V-Tails The effective area of a V tail for pitch stability is equal to the total area times the cosine squared of the tail's dihedral angle. The calculation for equivalent stability is a little more complex, because the apparent change in angle of attack to a given disturbance for the V and conventional tails are not the same. Some have reported that their models seemed to be more maneuverable using the projected area method for making their substitute V tails. www.fatlion.com /sailplanes/vtail.html   (789 words)

tail Use it to control how long `tail' follows the descriptor of a file that continues growing at a rapid pace even after it is deleted or renamed. No matter which method you use, if the tracked file is determined to have shrunk, `tail' prints a message saying the file has been truncated and resumes tracking the end of the file from the newly-determined endpoint. When a file is removed, `tail''s behavior depends on whether it is following the name or the descriptor. www.ss64.com /bash/tail.html   (1031 words)

The Tail of the Magnetosphere However, in the tail itself the earthward flow has been harder to confirm and seems to be rather irregular, coming in fits and bursts, especially during magnetic substorms. The diffuse aurora was discovered by the Canadian spacecraft ISIS 2 in 1972, and it expands and contracts as the tail lobes swell and shrink due to variations in the solar wind and its magnetic field. Like every steady electric current, it too must flow in a closed circuit, and the closing occurs in two branches that follow the magnetopause around either tail. www-spof.gsfc.nasa.gov /Education/wtail.html   (1266 words)

ANATOMY OF COMETS Dust tail: composed of small (smoke-sized) dust particles driven off the nucleus by escaping gases; this is the part of a comet that is easiest to see, and is not as long as the ion tail. The gaseous ion tail is pushed straight away from the Sun by the solar wind, while the brighter dust tail traces the comet's curved orbit. The ion tail is composed mostly of ions of water, carbon monoxide, and cyanogen. www.il-st-acad-sci.org /planets/comets3.html   (906 words)

man: tail The only difference between this implementation and historic ver- sions of tail, once the command line syntax translation has been done, is that the -b, -c and -n options modify the -r option, i.e. The tail utility is expected to be a superset of the IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'') specification. The tail utility displays the contents of file or, by default, its stan- dard input, to the standard output. www.hmug.org /man/1/tail.php   (496 words)

About Me The theory of the Long Tail is that our culture and economy is increasingly shifting away from a focus on a relatively small number of "hits" (mainstream products and markets) at the head of the demand curve and toward a huge number of niches in the tail. Although the phrase "The Long Tail" is trademarked, this blog is licensed under a Creative Commons License. The Long Tail is a powerlaw that isn't cruelly cut off by bottlenecks in distribution such as limited shelf space and available channels. www.thelongtail.com /about.html   (1115 words)

Graded Tail To build your tail, you will need two yards of fabric (two contrasting colors, 36”x41”), some string (a foot or so...) and a patch of heavy reinforcing cloth is very nice as well (1.5oz or heavier, 4”x10”). The construction of this tail uses ideas gleaned from conversations with George Peters, who did quite a bit to promote and increase awareness of color in all parts of the sky, Hugh (Stretch) Tucker, who has always been willing to try something new, and numerous other people too many to remember or acknowledge. The many tails that we fill the sky with add color and action to our kites, but as many tails as there are to fly off of our kites, there are ways to make those tails. www.kite.com /kite/miscpics/gradtail/gradtail.htm   (560 words)

Ladywildlife's How Lizards Lose their Tail Page If a lizard is caught by its tail, it will contract the muscles in front of the weak area to split a vertebrae and shed the part of its tail held by the attacker. Many lizards have green or blue tails that are bright enough to distract a predator, yet not so conspicuous that they make the lizard easy to spot from far off. Most lizards have areas of weakness in the vertebrae, or backbone, of their tails that run through the surrounding connective tissue and muscle. ladywildlife.com /animal/howlizardslosetheirtails.html   (891 words)

Tail docking information from the Council of Docked Breeds Tail docking is a very emotive subject the world over. Unchecked, breeders world-wide are facing the same anti docking, anti dew claw removal, anti breeder hysteria which is being fueled by a minority of the veterinary profession and major animal protection societies, who campaign under the pretence of "animal welfare". The RSPCA describes tail docking as a mutilation and cruel. cdb.org   (923 words)

APOD: 2000 December 27 - The Dust and Ion Tails of Comet Hale Bopp The white dust tail is created by bits of grit that have come off the comet's nucleus and are being pushed away by the pressure of light from the Sun. Visible above are the two tails shed by Comet Hale-Bopp. This tail is created by the particles from the fast solar wind interacting with gas from the comet's head. antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov /apod/ap001227.html   (161 words)

Halfbakery: Tails For All That tail was the subject of much envy: it was an accessory, a statement of mood, and a method of dismissal. A tail could be an additional emotional indicator, as well as (if of the prehensile variety) a useful third hand, for holding umbrellas and the like. Also With the skunk tail i would love to have the musk gland installed so to let all you punks out there dont mess with me. Then i would like to have black fur on my back with two white stripes going down, a muzzle and paws. www.halfbakery.com /idea/Tails_20For_20All   (6180 words)

Pheasant Tail Nymph Thus the small, brown Pheasant Tail Nymph suggests a wide range of living creatures that trout are fond of munching. To achieve the right depth, you may need to put weight on the leader or use the Pheasant Tail on a dropper with a heavy fly such as a Kaufmanns Stone on the point. On lakes, I've found that a Flashback Pheasant Tail outfishes it's non-Flashabou-ed antecedent by three-to-one during a Callibaetis hatch. www.westfly.com /patterns/wet/pheasanttail.shtml   (352 words)

Dinosaur Tails - Enchanted Learning Software This theory seems unlikely given the amount of physiological damage to tail tissue that would be caused by the sudden acceleration near the end of the tail (and the deceleration upon impact). The tails of some dinosaurs could be useful in attaining a tripod stance, which was probably used to forage very tall vegetation and for mating. Ankylosaurids (like Euoplocephalus and Ankylosaurus) had bony nodules at the end of their tails that could easily have been used for defense, which would have been useful for these lumbering, plated grazers. www.enchantedlearning.com /subjects/dinosaurs/anatomy/Tail.shtml   (472 words)

VentureBlog: Where's The Money In The Long Tail? Impressively, it has taken less than a year of entrepreneurs explicitly referencing and explaining the Long Tail before it has become so well recognized and understood that it need only be implicated in passing without the same sort of fanfare as it used to receive. Six months ago there was barely a pitch I heard that didn't include a slide entitled "Long Tail" or "The Long Tail of [fill in the vertical]," with the obligatory long tail curve. The question for VCs and entrepreneurs is "for whom?" I've had the good fortune over the last year or so to engage in a number of conversations about the economics of the Long Tail with Chris Anderson and to see those economics illustrated by innumerable Long Tail investment pitches. p6.hostingprod.com /@ventureblog.com/articles/indiv/2005/001227.html   (1080 words)

SPACE.com -- Spacecraft Collides With Longest-Ever Comet Tail In particular, the discovery of such a long comet tail invites astronomers to believe that they may find and study past comets whose tails are still intact. The blip, it turns out, was the signature from an invisible comet tail, a comet tail that was more than 310.7 million miles (500 million kilometers) long -- almost double the longest comet tail previously known to exist. Clues about Ulysses contact with Comet Hyakutakes tail began to appear when a team of scientists who were studying charged particles emanating from the sun noticed something odd in their data. www.space.com /science/solarsystem/comet_tail_000405.html   (935 words)

Charles River Radio Controllers - A V-Tail Design Discussion Again, T-tails or tails with very low-set stabilators, like the F-4 Phantom fighter-bomber that have stabilators canted downwards to lower it's centre of lift, is probably the aerodynamically cleanest, but heavy, while the V-tails never are out of the wing wake, thus not ideal, but at the same time they are very difficult to stall. The size needed is quite easy to find: If you have a conventional tail think of each surface as sides in a box, the stabilator being the bottom and the fin being the side, the width being the average width of tail and stabilator. But, as fitting the stabilator to the tail cone is the lightest solution, they instead use stabilators canted upward, like they were part of a V-tail with a centre fin. www.charlesriverrc.org /articles/design/vtailmsganthology.htm   (4309 words)
