44 (number)
44 (forty-four) is the natural number following 43 and preceding 45. In mathematics Forty-four is a repdigit and palindromic number in decimal. It is the fourth happy number, and the fourth octahedral number. Since the greatest prime factor of 442 + 1 = 1937 is 149 and thus more than 44 twice, 44 is a Størmer number. Given Euler's totient function, φ(44) = 20 and φ(69) = 44. 44 is a tribonacci number, preceded by 7, 13, and 24, whose sum it equals. 44 is the number of derangements of 5 items. There are 44 distinct stellations of the truncated cube and truncated octahedron, per Miller's rules. There are forty-four finite simple groups that arise from four general families of such groups: * Two stem from cyclic groups and alternating groups. * Sixteen stem from simple groups of Lie type. * Twenty-six stem from sporadic groups. Sometimes the Tits group is considered a 17th non-strict simple group of Lie type, or a 27th sporadic group, which would yield a total of 45 ...

44 Caliber
.44 caliber is a family of large-caliber firearm cartridges and firearms, particularly revolvers. The most well-known is the .44 Magnum which uses a bullet that is actually .429 inches in diameter. Though less common than the smaller .38 caliber family of cartridges, the caliber is popular with many shooters and the .44 Magnum in particular facilitated the rise of handgun hunting. Its role as the most powerful handgun cartridge has been superseded by various recently developed .45 caliber and .50 caliber handgun chamberings. The caliber was also common in American Civil War-era cap & ball revolvers such as the Colt Army Model 1860 and the Remington Model 1858, offering more stopping power than the .36 caliber revolvers of the time. Notably, the derringer that John Wilkes Booth used to assassinate Abraham Lincoln was .44 caliber. Cartridges The following dimensions are given in millimeters (inches).Barnes, Frank C.

44M Tas
The 44M Tas was a Hungarian medium tank, in earlier Hungarian knowledge classified as a heavy tank design of World War II. It was developed to combat heavily armored Soviet tanks encountered on the Eastern Front and to replace the older Turán I and Turán II tanks which Hungary operated, modernising Hungary's armoured forces. The Tas somewhat resembled the German Panther tank in terms of both looks and capabilities. It was to be well armored – up to 120 mm thick and with sloped armor. The main armament would likely have been a Hungarian built heavily modified anti-tank version of the 80 mm Bofors AA gun. The only prototypes built were destroyed when the Americans bombed the Manfred Weiss factory in July 1944. Development and Design History In 1943 Hungary had already realized that its tank production was obsolete and struggled against Soviet tanks. To solve the problem Hungary started to develop the Turán III and Zrínyi assault guns. However, it still tried ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Forty-Four
"Forty-Four" or "44 Blues" is a blues standard whose origins have been traced back to early 1920s Louisiana. However, it was Roosevelt Sykes, who provided the lyrics and first recorded it in 1929, that helped popularize the song. "Forty-Four," through numerous adaptations and recordings, remains in the blues lexicon eighty years later. Origins "Four-Four" was developed from an earlier piano-based blues theme titled "The Forty-Fours". Little Brother Montgomery, who is usually credited with early performances of the song, described it as a "barrelhouse, honky-tonk blues" without any lyrics. He taught it to another blues pianist, Lee Green, who taught it to Roosevelt Sykes. Sykes explained: Sykes added lyrics to the tune and recorded it as "44 Blues" on June 14, 1929, for Okeh Records. According to blues historian Paul Oliver, Sykes' lyrics "played on the differing interpretations of the phrase 'forty-fours'—the train number 44, the .44 caliber revolver and the 'little cabin' ...
