  2. Digital room correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_room_correction

    Digital room correction (or DRC) is a process in the field of acoustics where digital filters designed to ameliorate unfavorable effects of a room's acoustics are applied to the input of a sound reproduction system. Modern room correction systems produce substantial improvements in the time domain and frequency domain response of the sound ...

  3. Bouguer anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouguer_anomaly

    The Bouguer anomaly defined as: Here, is the free-air gravity anomaly. is the Bouguer correction which allows for the gravitational attraction of rocks between the measurement point and sea level; is a terrain correction which allows for deviations of the surface from an infinite horizontal plane. The free-air anomaly , in its turn, is related ...

    Mercury (element) d-block. rhombohedral ( hR1) Category: Mercury (element) Mercury is a chemical element; it has symbol Hg and atomic number 80. It is also known as quicksilver and was formerly named hydrargyrum ( / haɪˈdrɑːrdʒərəm / hy-DRAR-jər-əm) from the Greek words hydor (water) and argyros (silver). [8]

    Superintendent Douglas DeMoura. The Massachusetts Correctional Institution—Cedar Junction (MCI-Cedar Junction), formerly known as MCI-Walpole, is a maximum security prison under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Department of Correction. It was opened in 1956 to replace Charlestown State Prison, the oldest prison in the nation at that time.

  6. Triangular prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_prism

    Triangular bipyramid. In geometry, a triangular prism or trigonal prism [1] is a prism with 2 triangular bases. If the edges pair with each triangle's vertex and if they are perpendicular to the base, it is a right triangular prism. A right triangular prism may be both semiregular and uniform . The triangular prism can be used in constructing ...

  7. Correction (novel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correction_(novel)

    Correction is a novel by Thomas Bernhard, originally published in German in 1975, and first published in English translation in 1979 by Alfred A. Knopf.. Correction’s setting is a garret in the middle of an Austrian forest, described by the narrator as the "thought dungeon" in which the main character, Roithamer, will pursue his project of constructing an extraordinary habitation, the Cone ...

  8. Hexagonal prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_prism

    In geometry, the hexagonal prism is a prism with hexagonal base. Prisms are polyhedrons; this polyhedron has 8 faces, 18 edges, and 12 vertices. [1] Since it has 8 faces, it is an octahedron. However, the term octahedron is primarily used to refer to the regular octahedron, which has eight triangular faces. Because of the ambiguity of the term ...

  9. Free-air gravity anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air_gravity_anomaly

    Free-air gravity anomaly. In geophysics, the free-air gravity anomaly, often simply called the free-air anomaly, is the measured gravity anomaly after a free-air correction is applied to account for the elevation at which a measurement is made. It does so by adjusting these measurements of gravity to what would have been measured at a reference ...
