Wikibooks - Wikibooks Wikibooks, previously called Wikimedia Free Textbook Project and Wikimedia-Textbooks, is a sister project to Wikipedia and is part of the Wikimedia foundation, begun on July 10, 2003. The project is a collection of free textbooks with supporting book-based texts, that is being written collaboratively on this website. The site is a WikiWiki, meaning that anyone, including you, can edit any book module right now by clicking on the edit this page link that appears in every Wikibooks module. The project was opened in response to a request by Wikipedia's Karl Wick for a place to start building open content textbooks such as organic chemistry and physics in order to bring education to humanity and reduce the costs and other limitations to top-quality learning materials. It.
History of Wikipedia - visited by "vandals" who remove articles or post inappropriate content. Usually, these vandalisms are undone quickly by the regulars, but repeated vandalisms of the project's main page led to the protection of this page so that it could only be changed by administrators. In August 2002, shortly after Jimbo Wales had stated that he would never run commercial advertisements on Wikipedia, the URL of Wikipedia was changed from wikipedia.com to wikipedia.org. In the same summer, policy and style issues were clarified with the creation of the Manual of Style and various policies and guidelines. Derek Ramsey ("Ram-Man") started in October 2002 to use a "bot", or program, to add a large number of articles about U.S towns; these articles were automatically generated from census data. Occasionally, similar bots had been used.
Dandelion - several culinary and medicinal uses. Dandelions are grown commercially as produce on a small scale. The plant can be eaten cooked or raw in various forms, such as in soup or salad. Usually the young leaves are eaten raw in salads while older leaves are cooked. Dandelion blossoms are used to make dandelion wine. Dandelions are high in vitamin A and also are a source of vitamin C. Ground roasted dandelion root is sometimes used as a coffee substitute. Drunk before meals, this is believed to stimulate digestive functions; this product is sold in some health food stores, often as a mixture of Dandelion and Burdock. It should be noted that uncooked, the dandelion has a diuretic effect and is known in France as pissenlit (literally, "wet the bed") for precisely.

Atlas Shrugged - the most influential books of the twentieth century. [1]. Setting Exactly when Atlas Shrugged is meant to take place is kept deliberately vague. In section 152 the population of New York is given as 7 million. The historical New York City reached 7 million people in the 1930s, placing the novel sometime after that. There are numerous early 20th century technologies available, but the political situtation is clearly different from actual history. It is as if history had changed around 1900, and the world went unimpeded down a gradual path towards socialism for perhaps 40 years, with no World War, and no rise of fascism in Europe. There are many examples of early 20th century technology in Atlas Shrugged, but no post-war technologies such as jet planes, nuclear weapons, helicopters, or.

Textbook - has a deciding vote on which textbooks are purchased, and often many levels of people have a say and influence in what should or shouldn't be said and how it should be presented, leading to textbooks that are often of limited effectiveness for learning.

Bourne shell - program of Bourne shell is located at /bin/sh on most Unix systems. See also Bourne-Again shell External Links Wikibooks' Bourne Shell Scripting module.
Calendar date - the ambiguity of a date order; especially with low day, month and/or year numbers, it is impossible to tell which order is being used. Various schemes are used to correct these ambiguities; common schemes include spelling out the month name (or its abbreviation) and using four-digit years. The ISO 8601 date order, with four digit years, is specifically chosen to be unambiguous. d/m/y (day, month, year) is used by: Australia Austria Belgium Brazil Canada Catalonia Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Ireland Italy Netherlands Norway Romania Spain Switzerland UK m/d/y (month, day, year) is used by: US some traditional UK organisations y/m/d (year, month, day), the ISO 8601 standard, is used by: Albania Canada (French) China Hungary Japan Korea Latvia Lithuania Poland Portugal South Africa (English) Sweden See also: calendar, time, date-time.
Complex number - field of complex numbers. Every such matrix can be written as which suggests that we should identify the real number 1 with the matrix and the imaginary unit i with a counter-clockwise rotation by 90 degrees. Note that the square of this latter matrix is indeed equal to -1. The absolute value of a complex number expressed as a matrix is equal to the square root of the determinant of that matrix. If the matrix is viewed as a transformation of a plane, then the transformation rotates points through an angle equal to the argument of the complex number and scales by a factor equal to the complex number's absolute value. The conjugate of the complex number z corresponds to the transformation which rotates through the same angle as z but.
XHTML - Additionally, in XHTML, all elements must be lowercased. This is in direct contrast to HTML 4.0, which prefers that elements are uppercased. In XHTML, all attributes, even numerical ones, must be quoted. Attribute minimization (i.e.,
) is also prohibited. More differences are detailed at the W3C XHTML specification. Versions of XHTML ; XHTML 1.0 Transitional : Basically HTML 4.0 with XML conformance. Intended for easy migration ; XHTML 1.0 Strict : Separates the content from layout markup ; XHTML 1.0 Frameset : For splitting the browser window into several frames ; XHTML 1.1 : Module-based XHTML; authors can import additional features (such as framesets) into their markup Work on XHTML 2.0 is still underway.

Physics - calculation of these probabilities. It successfully describes the behavior of matter at small distance scales. Quantum mechanics also provided the theoretical tools for condensed matter physics, which studies the physical behavior of solids and liquids, including phenomena such as crystal structures, semiconductivity, and superconductivity. The pioneers of condensed matter physics include Bloch, who created a quantum mechanical description of the behavior of electrons in crystal structures in 1928. During World War II, research was conducted by each side into nuclear physics, for the purpose of creating a nuclear bomb. The German effort, led by Heisenberg, did not succeed, but the Allied Manhattan Project reached its goal. In America, a team led by Fermi achieved the first man-made nuclear chain reaction in 1942, and in 1945 the world's first nuclear explosive was.

It uses 9 special characters, and some character pairs to represent sounds not available in the Latin alphabet. Vowels are pronounced like in all European languages (and for that matter Japanese) other than English. "a b d e f h k l m n o p s t u z" are pronounced as you'd expect them to be. "c" is pronounced "ts" (a single sound). "g" is always hard, like in "game" not like "gene". "i" is pronounced like "i" and before other vowel like "y"..

Organic chemistry - of organic substances The reason that there are so many carbon compounds is that carbon has the ability to form many carbon chains of different lengths, and rings of different sizes (catenation). A lot of carbon compounds are extremely sensitive to heat, and generally decompose below 300'C. They tend not to be so soluble in water compared to many inorganic salts. In contrast to such salts, they tend to be much more soluble in organic solvents such as ether or alcohol. Organic compounds are covalently bonded. Organic chemistry textbook at Wikibooks. zh-tw:有機化學.
Organic nomenclature - 2-hydroxyethanamine unambiguously refers to the same compound. How the name was constructed: There are two carbons in the main chain; this gives the root name "eth". Since the carbons are singly-bonded, the suffix begins with "an". The two functional groups are an alcohol (OH) and an amine (NH2). The alcohol has the higher atomic number, and takes priority over the amine. The suffix for an alcohol ends in "ol", so that the suffix is "anol". The amine group is not on the carbon with the OH (the #1 carbon), but one carbon over (the #2 carbon); therefore we indicate it's presence with the prefix "2-amino". Putting together the prefix, the root and the suffix, we get "2-aminoethanol". Simplified molecular input line entry specification (SMILES) strings are commonly used to describe Organic.
Wikimedia - The Wikimedia Foundation Inc. is the parent organization of Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikisource and Nupedia. It is a non-profit corporation organized under the laws of Florida, USA. Its existence was officially announced by Bomis CEO and Wikipedia co-founder Jimbo Wales on June 20, 2003. The name "Wikimedia" was coined by Sheldon Rampton in a WikiEN-l mailing list post in March 2003. Subsequently, the domain names http://wikimedia.org and http://wikimediafoundation.org were secured for the Foundation by Wikipedia contributor Daniel Mayer. The goals of the foundation are to encourage the growth and development of open content, WikiWiki-based projects and to provide the full contents of those projects to the public free of charge and without advertising. In addition to managing the already developed multilingual general encyclopedia and almanac named Wikipedia, there is a.
